Hello! How can I go from Ailing to Weak?
You cannot. You start with a set point of health, and the weekly health challenge is here for you to prevent as much fall in that health as you can. What you lose is lost, and cannot be recovered. By doing good in the health challenges, you can decrease the speed at which you lose health, or even stop it altogether as long as you being each health challenge to none, but you can not make it go up again.
There are currently no other downsides to being ailing though, it just is a description of roughly how much health is left in your "life bar".

Any news on getting crypto kingdom gold on poloniex?
There was a counterparty asset was created by a community member to issue tokens that would be backed by CK HODLers fund (S-HODL in-game), which is 80-90% CKG (the rest being interest-bearing debt issued by the Town). The reason for doing it that way is that CKG pays dividends which would be difficult to handle in the case of a token, especially for tokens held on an exchange. S-HODL reinvests all dividends and interest payments, which converts them into token price appreciation.
However, very little effort went into actually trying to get the token listed on an exchange. The game master seems more interested in being the game master than dealing with such structural matters, which is his prerogative, but at the moment it looks like no one is actively working on an exchange listing.
If another community member wants to more aggressively pursue it, perhaps ownership of the existing counterparty token could be transferred, or a new one created.

You can do this by registering in the game. A foreign owned corporation character (which I think has a one time registration fee of 50 XMR, but you could possibly recover this later by reselling the character) does not need to deal with gameplay and can simply hold assets idle in the account at no ongoing cost.
If you do that I would recommend buying the S-HODL in-game asset instead of buying CKG directly for a few reasons, including that, as above, you won't need to deal with reinvesting dividends. If you hold CKG directly then you will get payments into your character account every week that will sit idle until you log in and reinvest (or withdraw) them.
Thanks for the detailed answer smooth! I've checked out the game website and it looks like it has a lot of potential. If the counterparty asset was traded on poloniex I think there would be good support, and liquidity would certainly increase. The way people throw money at ICO's recently shows people want things to invest in, and crypto kingdom doesn't have any real competition yet, so the upside could be quite good. The buzz created in the polo troll box alone would get some more registrations I'd say also. I honestly think the game looks more time consuming to master for me, but I think as an investment its potential is well worth a few bitcoins, but I'd feel more confident if there was an off-ramp with high volume.
I was the one that created the asset and requested it be listed on Poloniex, but never received any type of response from them (somewhat expected).
I'm still willing to run the administrative stuff, but I'm not sure where to try to go with it at the moment. Perhaps Bittrex? I don't really keep up with exchanges much and many of them are scammy.
Check out the new Welcome Page!
This one is geared towards the New Players, with all the information that helps you get started with the game. When registering a new character, the welcome page loads as a starting screen for the first 10 logins into your character. After that you are already considered an old player, and login redirects to Billboard.

Welcome Page has been further updated with precise, easy to read, important information for New Players. I also fixed some of the language issues you guys mentioned in the chat, and added Syksy's newly designed image for CK on the right panel, check it out.

Correct. I am the GM, and since my time is limited to 24/7 as it is with all of us, I have decided to spend it mainly on matters that no one else has authority to do in the game, based on its rules.
As mentioned in this thread before, making tokens out of the game items and listing them on exchanges, is free for everyone to do, and consequently I am very happy to see this initiative going forward.

Rakshasa, a mysterious man. He looks like a man with a long past. When he traveled from the far-east to Europe, he rose from poverty into a higher standing. There is not much to his family, probably an orphan, but he knew how to read and write and not a stranger to combat.
With sweat and hard efforts he was able to rise from the dirt of the society and eventually became into good standings with the royal court. He never allowed himself to become blinded by the success and kept distance from the lives of nobles.
During the time when the old king had died, he had befriended Zechariah whom found him an able man. He became the minister for the crown ,which he has served with loyalty. During the time at the great position, he especially addressed the issue with the declining state of the buildings and the unmotivated laboring force of the old Duchy.
He took his own life lessons and poured his wisdom into a handful of selected people, which he taught what he had learned during his life. Thus the Freemason's were founded. And to this day on, Rakshasa keeps on serving the crown as it's minister and teaches his wisdom to the builders of the Crypto Town.

Knight(soon Baron) ChrisPop participation in the coronation subgames:
Coronet subgame:
Heaven's Pride
Items: CR1602A(1),CR1626A(2),CR1627A(3),CT1600C(1),THS1(1)
Parts: TOP(1),PEA(
Gold: 9, Silver: 3
Given by gods to a purehearted man. Made from ocean's pearls and angel's silver. Even if the coronet is lightweight,it is assembled with gold melted by the sunshine in a long time. An engraving on the inside of the coronet says: "May this holy coronet guide and protect you in Crypto Kingdom." Heaven's Pride is a gift from the gods given to ChrisPop while he was wandering through Free Land forest. He saw two little crying babies in a basket surrounded by three ferocious and starving wolves. Chris had no weapon as at that time he was just a peasant living in a free house provided by the church,but he did not stand a second and thrown himself barehanded in front of the cruel animals. ChrisPop fought with them with might and main but he knew he will stand no chance against three hungry wolves so,with the entire body wounded, took the basket with the kids and jumped into the river.Luckily he grabbed a log where he put the basket safely,then being exhausted and heavily wounded..he fainted and fell into the water. When he woke up he was at the riverside on land. On his chest a golden coronet with a topaz gemstone in front of it, was shining under the bright sunshine. ChrisPop kept thinking of the two children he saved until the day he found out from the priest in his village that they were safe and healthy. It is said that the coronet is a gift that God offered because He was very impressed by the human's sacrifice so that's where its name comes from: "Heaven's Pride".

JEW-11 - Coronet of the Syyskuu Family
Symbol of the House Syyskuu, as also forged from CP1300E to the coronet
Description: (Most Elaborate)
Jewelry item type Coronet
Items: CP1300E(1),HM02B100(3),DOLM(1),SFS(20)
Parts: TOPX(1),PEA(10)
Gold: 305, Silver: 5
The magenta colored magical talisman-coin CP1300E, that emits a tingling aura, has been forged to the lower front of the coronet with the shape of a Maple Leaf, the symbol of House Syyskuu, with great effort due to the hardness of the unknown metal. A light orange triangular-shaped grand Topaz (TOPX) flickers and emits light in the front of the coronet on top of the said house symbol. The medal for the Order of the Dolphin (DOLM), granted by HM rpietila II himself, is attached to the very top of the coronet with gold woven strings (medal detachable if need be). The rounding of the crown is decorated with CR-coins of important dates for the Family Syyskuu (total 20*E-coins, thus 20*5 CKG coins), adding 100 CKG to the build of the coronet while the coronet body otherwise composes of raw 200 CKG. Between each pair of the coins is a pearl (10 total). 20*SFS creates the inner cloth-cover of the coronet, making it comfortable to wear. The coronet was forged for the unique occasion of the coronation of HM rpietila II in 1640, and has served as a family heirloom since.
Lord Syksy of the Syyskuu Family; aka. Syksy Syyskuu
Official title:
Lord Syksy, Earl of Petrichor, Overseer of Swords, Arts, Consumption and Wikidom, 20th/I Bt of CK, Fatherhead of the Syyskuu Lineage and CEO of the Grizzly Bear Corp, AOK-K, AOD-Capt, KI, HB, CB, TB, CCB, SCB, GCB.
Unlike most of CryptoKingdom's nobility, Lord Syksy was not born natively in the Baltic Area. His family origins come from Wallachia by the Black Sea in the South-Eastern corner of Europe, where they mainly spoke Hungarian. His father worked as a poet, but due to the starving life of an artist, his real profession had to be a carpenter. Syksy only has few early memories of her Scandinavian-born mother, but his father told her to have been a compassionate mother as well as his personal muse with a swift sting of words herself as well, and to have served as a waitress in a local tavern.
Syksy's life however did not have an easy beginning. Due to the Ottoman invasions, local fortifications were under constant pressure, and one fateful night the village was startled in the darkness to screams and shouts of villagers. Their village was being plundered and looted, and majority of the people killed. His mother managed to hide him and one of his siblings to a roof-top compartment before a kick bashed the wooden door in. This night he witnessed his elder siblings first being rounded up and slashed to death, after which his mother was raped and her throat slit. All this while the vile men pursued to kill his loved ones, he and his sister Sini had to stay quiet and could not help but to watch powerless while staying quiet as ordered by their mother. After the looters had set the village to fire and left with most of the people dead, his father arrived to the scene - he had rode by horseback to local guardposts to alarm of the hostilies, only to find out that it was ironically actually local mercenaries hired by the border Princes that plundered friendly villages, and not the Ottoman forces looting their home. His father, miserable to tears with the sight of his home, could only find comfort when Syksy and his sister called to him from the roof-top that had been lit on fire. Father quickly took them to his arms, and packed whatever trade-worthy they had stashed in, and escaped with them to his horse waiting outside just in time as the building's roof collapsed. Syksy's last memory of this incidence is his father frantically galloping away from the burning villages with his children tied by leather straps to his back, and him turning his tear-stained eyes back towards the grim decorations of his home; silhouettes of dead village-people impaled in wooden stakes circling the village, as they rode to the deepening night.
His father took them North-West to the Germanic Principality of Bavaria, where he hoped to find a place to stay and where they could be accepted as refugees due to the widely acknowledged invasions by the non-Christian Ottomans. Here Syksy grew up as an adolescent and learned of engineering and mathematicus, and thanks to his father teaching his children to read and write, and managed to gain some notion among the local scholars. He learned German and French, but he would continue to write in Hungarian as a memorial to his family. His father taught him the art of carpentry, but would never neglect poetry and arts - while they could not provide for the family, his father's stern belief was that they would elevate man to a higher stature. His father boasts that he was even able to ghost-write plays for big names in the Austrian court; as a man without name he could not have the plays conducted in his name, but he was paid quite handsomely by some more better known authors. For him, gaining the extra income and seeing his work getting appreciation even in local royal circles was important.
However, as rumors of Ottoman hordes of great size even capable of sieging the gates of Vienna arrived to Bavaria with an increasing intensity, locals grew hostile towards the people of refugee origins. Those especially influeced by the Orthodox faith were suspected to be potential Ottoman spies, and they would be spit upon in the streets and yelled at for no reason. Distraught by the hostilies by people he had hoped to become life-long friends with, his father again took Syksy and his sister on a journey North, this time towards Fenno-Scandinavia, his mother's homeland. Syksy and his father had managed to garner some fortune and would this time travel by a cart with all of their belonging and trade-worthy equipment, along with the company of other refugees that decided to conduct a similar mission.
Taking the Eastern route to the North, they encountered CryptoKingdom in 1601 within the Baltic Area, and his father considered the place tolerant and safe enough for them to settle down. They settled down in a small yet comfortable place to live up in the 4th Borough. Then the 28 year old Syksy would begin his businesses and offering services to the locals, and bit by bit gained name in the kingdom. After proving his adept skills as an administrator of official Crown businesses, offering mathematical-engineering services to his peers as well as surprising them with his artistical prowess, he was first promoted to Master in 1604, and then Baron in 1613.
When he was promoted to an Earl in 1621 and gained the land of his dreams, Petrichor, Syksy grew in love with his new-found county due to its untouched natural beauty. Still haunted by the events and roaming life of his youth, he dreamed of establishing a safe haven of those who would be kind enough to offer their hand for a shake and a friendly greeting, nevermind their past, faith or cultural background. While Syksy considers CryptoKingdom his home, where he also met his South-descent wife Esther after asking her for a dance at a market fair and carneval, his heart is yet to find a home. Petrichor comes the closest, but Syksy who struggles with existential nihilism, considers it likely that he will never find a true home within this living realm. It is not a surprise though, that he finds war and violence appalling, and considers mathematics, engineering and arts to be the desired true beauty of life - it is so much easier to destroy than to create and build, so that in creation lies inherent beauty; an eternal battle against the entropy of life that rusts and spoils all beauty, but which must be fought against, to be alive.
Syksy has numerous children and grandchildren, and his dear father has lived to see the coronation of the new king, albeit his father is already blind and partially deaf. Still, his wisdom and knack for words and jokes has not disappeared, and he has helped Esther care for much of Syksy's children during his absence in taking care of Petrichor businesses.
By the time of the coronation, Syksy is growing to be 70 years old. His balding head is often covered by a Siberian fur hat and he wears a similar long fur jacket suitable for burdening travels, but he acknowledges that for a noble stature a certain amount of gold, silver, and other worthy material are essential. Although the sides of his head hair have started growing grey, his beard tints of an orange colour, something that may hint of his Scandinavian ancestry. He considers modesty a very important virtue, and is happy to see his children adopting to his ideals and happily marrying both with the locals and those of different origin.
Syksy has only had a few goals in CK and prefers to life let it flow in its own spontaneous course, but if he has list a few, he would list the following, with X marking fulfilled and / marking partial fulfilment:
[ x ] Make sure to provide his children, wife and father with a healthy and fulfilling life
[ x ] Own at least 1,000 CKG
[ x ] Own at least 10,000 sqm of land
[ x ] Get intellectually engaged in the CryptoKingdom (i.e. admin work, R-based analyses of CK using the API etc)
[ / ] Build a Residence, Villa and Headquarters worth for a noble family (Residence at Versailles is ready)
[ / ] Make kwown of their family and ideals (e.g. heirlooms, arts, political intrigue etc)
[ / ] Gain attention and stature within the society
[ / ] See his county Petrichor grow to be a home to many, and to protect its people even to death
[ ] Live to be 100 years old (looks unlikely, as he is 'Ailing' at 70 yo)
Lord Syksy started his journey in CK in 1601, and hopes to see at least 30 more years. If God does not will it, then his son Syksy the Second will carry on his father's spirit.

JEW-11 - Coronet of the Syyskuu Family
Symbol of the House Syyskuu, as also forged from CP1300E to the coronet
Description: (Most Elaborate)
Jewelry item type Coronet
Items: CP1300E(1),HM02B100(3),DOLM(1),SFS(20)
Parts: TOPX(1),PEA(10)
Gold: 305, Silver: 5
The magenta colored magical talisman-coin CP1300E, that emits a tingling aura, has been forged to the lower front of the coronet with the shape of a Maple Leaf, the symbol of House Syyskuu, with great effort due to the hardness of the unknown metal. A light orange triangular-shaped grand Topaz (TOPX) flickers and emits light in the front of the coronet on top of the said house symbol. The medal for the Order of the Dolphin (DOLM), granted by HM rpietila II himself, is attached to the very top of the coronet with gold woven strings (medal detachable if need be). The rounding of the crown is decorated with CR-coins of important dates for the Family Syyskuu (total 20*E-coins, thus 20*5 CKG coins), adding 100 CKG to the build of the coronet while the coronet body otherwise composes of raw 200 CKG. Between each pair of the coins is a pearl (10 total). 20*SFS creates the inner cloth-cover of the coronet, making it comfortable to wear. The coronet was forged for the unique occasion of the coronation of HM rpietila II in 1640, and has served as a family heirloom since.

Lord Syksy of the Syyskuu Family; aka. Syksy Syyskuu
Official title:
Lord Syksy, Earl of Petrichor, Overseer of Swords, Arts, Consumption and Wikidom, 20th/I Bt of CK, Fatherhead of the Syyskuu Lineage and CEO of the Grizzly Bear Corp, AOK-K, AOD-Capt, KI, HB, CB, TB, CCB, SCB, GCB.
Unlike most of CryptoKingdom's nobility, Lord Syksy was not born natively in the Baltic Area. His family origins come from Wallachia by the Black Sea in the South-Eastern corner of Europe, where they mainly spoke Hungarian. His father worked as a poet, but due to the starving life of an artist, his real profession had to be a carpenter. Syksy only has few early memories of her Scandinavian-born mother, but his father told her to have been a compassionate mother as well as his personal muse with a swift sting of words herself as well, and to have served as a waitress in a local tavern.
Syksy's life however did not have an easy beginning. Due to the Ottoman invasions, local fortifications were under constant pressure, and one fateful night the village was startled in the darkness to screams and shouts of villagers. Their village was being plundered and looted, and majority of the people killed. His mother managed to hide him and one of his siblings to a roof-top compartment before a kick bashed the wooden door in. This night he witnessed his elder siblings first being rounded up and slashed to death, after which his mother was raped and her throat slit. All this while the vile men pursued to kill his loved ones, he and his sister Sini had to stay quiet and could not help but to watch powerless while staying quiet as ordered by their mother. After the looters had set the village to fire and left with most of the people dead, his father arrived to the scene - he had rode by horseback to local guardposts to alarm of the hostilies, only to find out that it was ironically actually local mercenaries hired by the border Princes that plundered friendly villages, and not the Ottoman forces looting their home. His father, miserable to tears with the sight of his home, could only find comfort when Syksy and his sister called to him from the roof-top that had been lit on fire. Father quickly took them to his arms, and packed whatever trade-worthy they had stashed in, and escaped with them to his horse waiting outside just in time as the building's roof collapsed. Syksy's last memory of this incidence is his father frantically galloping away from the burning villages with his children tied by leather straps to his back, and him turning his tear-stained eyes back towards the grim decorations of his home; silhouettes of dead village-people impaled in wooden stakes circling the village, as they rode to the deepening night.
His father took them North-West to the Germanic Principality of Bavaria, where he hoped to find a place to stay and where they could be accepted as refugees due to the widely acknowledged invasions by the non-Christian Ottomans. Here Syksy grew up as an adolescent and learned of engineering and mathematicus, and thanks to his father teaching his children to read and write, and managed to gain some notion among the local scholars. He learned German and French, but he would continue to write in Hungarian as a memorial to his family. His father taught him the art of carpentry, but would never neglect poetry and arts - while they could not provide for the family, his father's stern belief was that they would elevate man to a higher stature. His father boasts that he was even able to ghost-write plays for big names in the Austrian court; as a man without name he could not have the plays conducted in his name, but he was paid quite handsomely by some more better known authors. For him, gaining the extra income and seeing his work getting appreciation even in local royal circles was important.
However, as rumors of Ottoman hordes of great size even capable of sieging the gates of Vienna arrived to Bavaria with an increasing intensity, locals grew hostile towards the people of refugee origins. Those especially influeced by the Orthodox faith were suspected to be potential Ottoman spies, and they would be spit upon in the streets and yelled at for no reason. Distraught by the hostilies by people he had hoped to become life-long friends with, his father again took Syksy and his sister on a journey North, this time towards Fenno-Scandinavia, his mother's homeland. Syksy and his father had managed to garner some fortune and would this time travel by a cart with all of their belonging and trade-worthy equipment, along with the company of other refugees that decided to conduct a similar mission.
Taking the Eastern route to the North, they encountered CryptoKingdom in 1601 within the Baltic Area, and his father considered the place tolerant and safe enough for them to settle down. They settled down in a small yet comfortable place to live up in the 4th Borough. Then the 28 year old Syksy would begin his businesses and offering services to the locals, and bit by bit gained name in the kingdom. After proving his adept skills as an administrator of official Crown businesses, offering mathematical-engineering services to his peers as well as surprising them with his artistical prowess, he was first promoted to Master in 1604, and then Baron in 1613.
When he was promoted to an Earl in 1621 and gained the land of his dreams, Petrichor, Syksy grew in love with his new-found county due to its untouched natural beauty. Still haunted by the events and roaming life of his youth, he dreamed of establishing a safe haven of those who would be kind enough to offer their hand for a shake and a friendly greeting, nevermind their past, faith or cultural background. While Syksy considers CryptoKingdom his home, where he also met his South-descent wife Esther after asking her for a dance at a market fair and carneval, his heart is yet to find a home. Petrichor comes the closest, but Syksy who struggles with existential nihilism, considers it likely that he will never find a true home within this living realm. It is not a surprise though, that he finds war and violence appalling, and considers mathematics, engineering and arts to be the desired true beauty of life - it is so much easier to destroy than to create and build, so that in creation lies inherent beauty; an eternal battle against the entropy of life that rusts and spoils all beauty, but which must be fought against, to be alive.
Syksy has numerous children and grandchildren, and his dear father has lived to see the coronation of the new king, albeit his father is already blind and partially deaf. Still, his wisdom and knack for words and jokes has not disappeared, and he has helped Esther care for much of Syksy's children during his absence in taking care of Petrichor businesses.
By the time of the coronation, Syksy is growing to be 70 years old. His balding head is often covered by a Siberian fur hat and he wears a similar long fur jacket suitable for burdening travels, but he acknowledges that for a noble stature a certain amount of gold, silver, and other worthy material are essential. Although the sides of his head hair have started growing grey, his beard tints of an orange colour, something that may hint of his Scandinavian ancestry. He considers modesty a very important virtue, and is happy to see his children adopting to his ideals and happily marrying both with the locals and those of different origin.
Syksy has only had a few goals in CK and prefers to life let it flow in its own spontaneous course, but if he has list a few, he would list the following, with X marking fulfilled and / marking partial fulfilment:
[ x ] Make sure to provide his children, wife and father with a healthy and fulfilling life
[ x ] Own at least 1,000 CKG
[ x ] Own at least 10,000 sqm of land
[ x ] Get intellectually engaged in the CryptoKingdom (i.e. admin work, R-based analyses of CK using the API etc)
[ / ] Build a Residence, Villa and Headquarters worth for a noble family (Residence at Versailles is ready)
[ / ] Make kwown of their family and ideals (e.g. heirlooms, arts, political intrigue etc)
[ / ] Gain attention and stature within the society
[ / ] See his county Petrichor grow to be a home to many, and to protect its people even to death
[ ] Live to be 100 years old (looks unlikely, as he is 'Ailing' at 70 yo)
Lord Syksy started his journey in CK in 1601, and hopes to see at least 30 more years. If God does not will it, then his son Syksy the Second will carry on his father's spirit.

Breweries, attention!
Starting from 1643, breweries require 3 licenses and a factory with 50 workpoints (WP) in order to produce beer. The production taxation is still 1000 m per bottle.
Producing a bottle of beer would cost with a rough estimate about 3000 m per bottle, so it is possible that the prices would be going higher.
For Deptstore (412) and SmoothQC (65) please inform me about your factory arrangements as soon as possible. Backdating for the production for workpoints (WP) is valid till Sep. 1643 -- and for factories it is valid till Dec 1643*. If the deadlines are missed, you will LOSE the production permanently for that year.
Valid methods for contacting me are: Forums, In-game messaging, IRC @Freenode (Rakshasa).
---
If maintaining a pool of NPC's (Assistants, Managers, Workers) for workpoints feels like a hassle. E.g time restrictions. It is possible to buy a permanent leasing contract from Freemasonry. The item S-FMBC produces annually 25 workpoints. Owning 2 instances of the item is enough to permanently maintain a factory running.
If you're missing workpoints only temporarily, it is always possible to buy S-WP which are rented workpoints for only one year. However S-FMBC is always the cheaper option from the two in the long run.
