Greetings from the Malla Development Camp, day 1/6
- It has been a humbling experience to be knocked out of the roll of the living, based on something as simple as a flu, which escalated to a broken rib.
- Today I can officially declare that I am back, since I found out that GIN boosts the effect of painkillers so much that a smaller amount of painkillers is needed => my ability to work is not affected by the painkillers => luckily my tolerance of alcohol is very good and constant consumption does not hinder working.
- I have in my earnest hopes that CK will not be negatively affected by my condition any more, even though it takes weeks for the rib to actually heal.
* * * * *
- Me, Rak and PJ have arrived safely on the destination and today was/is the first day of the camp. I will list the impressions in somewhat random order. Once we are completely on top of the situation, we will start working on it with a plan, until now we have gathered the data mainly.
- Found out that the game vision is to allow a legacy of characters by the same player. This, however, is not happening. Despite admonition, people are not creating heirs early enough to allow them to gain stature before the patriarch dies. When the old man dies, if you only then start a new character, it will start from scratch which is not the intention, and not fun. This has caused people to quit.
- The systematic problem is that it takes too much effort to manage characters without a corresponding increase in reward. Multiple characters = multiple health challenges = multiple of time needed. Health challenge is designed and works well for eager entry-level non-depositor players with one character, but needs to be able to be ignored in case of power players who don't have the time, and have better things to do.
- In general, our challenge is the variety of time people are willing to spend playing CK, and the great variety of financial resources. Consider:
* We have players who have 1, 10, 100, 1k, 10k or 100k XMR wealth. That is 5 orders of magnitude difference, which is really big and poses special challenges even in itself.
* We also have players who have 10 minutes per day on average willingness to spend time, or in some cases even less (absent and investor characters). Others are happy to spend all their free time and most of their employer's time as well. This means up to 100x (2 orders of magnitude) difference.
The players who - because of the largesse of their wealth - have much to manage, are not necessarily the same who have much time! In fact, there is hardly much correlation between the wealth and the time allocation.
=> In the design, we need to take special care to make the modules as voluntary as possible, so that becoming a more advanced/richer player, does not cause the management time requirement to go up. (Grinding is an important part of the game for starting players to consume their time, but in the advanced levels, the players have more "actual" things to do.) Cf. Civilization game where turns in the endgame take 100 times longer than in the beginning - the increase being micromanagement and not actually adds too much value; still it is a successful game. We however do not have unlimited time as the game is progressing real-time and not in turns.
- A proposal how to make handling of multiple characters to take as little time as handling only one, thus allowing the busy players to play as the game is intended to be played, via having multiple characters, is CLANS
* Login is same as until now, but all the characters are grouped under the single account
* Only one "account_id" (prev. char_id), only one economy (wealth, money, lots, items)
* One weekly "general challenge" taking the role of the prev. character-specific health challenge and also expanding to level-specific goals and weekly quests (same for all and granting bonuses)
* individual characters have their traits such as wisdom, health, CUL, age, skills etc. but improving them happens via the weekly challenge, ignoring micromanagement so that you can have 10 characters at the price of 10, but at the management time consumption of 1.
* Also NPC consumption management can be integrated to this, so that the NPCC becomes part of normal play, and not extra effort to be managed
* Much more to follow.
- We started contingency planning and documentation/reserve personnel training so that in the future, if I or PJ (or anyone) drops offline for whatever reason for 2-3 weeks, the game will not suffer at all (unless the absence turns permanent so that new team members need to be hired, necessarily causing strain).
- Rakshasa's training to be an admin/GM is progressing well and in fact I have not done a single one of "my" admin duties in the last week, it was all by him.
- Tomorrow I'll go through my characters and corps, listing stuff for sale and put bids. This will make it much more fun as a great part of economy is suffering due to being under my thumb and I haven't logged in with anything in 2 weeks.
- Ingame messaging module is under polishing and already looks/functions much better than before.
- Also IRC window will be integrated to the game (looks like Facebook messaging as I saw it), so that the freenode ##crypto-kingdom is accessible by anyone who is logged in
- Tutorial will finally come, as the messaging module allows timed/triggered system messages.
- We are working in close cooperation with the town council, both in and extra meetings
- We continue working for 5 more days with the expectation to make good decisions and plans and actually crank out functional things during the time as well. It is also our plan to start having a similar camp every 2 months to not lose the coordination and "steam".
- The possible prioritisation in the modules is:
1. first some bugfixes and UI things, and ingame communication
2. buildings
3. clans (if accepted)

The following things have occurred on the November of the year 1633.
- The last harvest of VEG have been harvested and distributed.
- NPC production for year 1633 have been distributed.
- NPC salaries for the next year have been collected.
(For clarification, year 1633 taxation was canceled and fully refunded; because of the massive operation of canceling it all, the correct taxation for the year 1633 wasn't run till yesterday--after it was fully confirmed that all of the faulty taxation transactions were successfully canceled. The reverse operation for canceling the taxes appear as a tax. However the FROM field should show that Labor has been taxed instead of you* [*In the event that you so happened to taxed during the first round].)

Thank you Your Majesty, I am honored!
And I am also pleased to notice that Sir Margrave, Naturalist Moo has also received a well deserved knighthood. Certainly one of the wisest, hard-working and capable of all the nobles I've seen lately, glad to see it does not go unnoticed.
New Chivalric Order - The Worshipful Company of the Knights of Initiative (KI)
My loving people,
In the year following the death of my and our beloved father, King rpietila I, the Kingdom's administration descended into chaos. Far from being capable to assume the momentous duties of the king of all Crypto Kingdom people, the severity of the blow of my father's passing, the breaking down of logistics of food transport and the nearing-mutinous situation in some of the provinces have rendered me paralysed in fulfilling all the duties my father so customarily took upon doing and so flawlessly executed.
To guide the Kingdom in these perilous times, more shoulders need to rise to take the burden of continuing the game and its administration. This new Honor is awarded to the men who, faithful to the King, carry on the legacy of Crypto Kingdom when the weak abstain from playing, wishing that the tumult would pass on its own course. It certainly will, but the brave men will be rewarded!

IRL: After being "ordinarily" sick since the beginning of last week, I have now also broken my rib, have fever, etc., which have caused both physical and indirectly cognitive disability to conduct the business. This happened in a bad time, coinciding with the changelog corruption event. PJ is up to his duties, except that I am unable to direct him to develop further modules such as Building at the moment. I have nominated Rakshasa to be a "special minister to the King" which means that after about 2 weeks tutorial period he can assume GM duty, which will free my time to guide PJ in the development and play the game. The three of us are going to Malla in a few days to forge our team to a better working order than it has ever been. I apologize for the temporary inconveniences.

UPDATE ON NPCC BACKDATING
Two major points were decided today ~21 GMT with majority of NPCC players present at the IRC channel:
1) Food (notice, ONLY FOOD) backdating is extended from Saturday all the way back to Tuesday. This will allow compensation for people who were starving due to VEG missing and next batch should arrive on Saturday.
2) To make sure nobody is hit too hard by possible issues, both hunger and thirst penalties have been made more lenient by moving the penalty chart 1 step in both to the lesser penalty direction. This will only apply to the current year.
Please also double-check your NPC's transaction logs if you pinpoint issues that need to be fixed by admins.

For those in the NPC consumption competition, notice that backdating is allowed from today (Thursday) all the way to Tuesday. Monday is not included. This is to compensate for the delay in item creation etc, and report any NPC related issues preferably to me.
We will presumably start tomorrow Friday with business as usual and no longer allow backdating from then, so please take care of your Tue/Wed/Thu today, but if you're having some issues don't hesitate to /query me. I'll try to be as flexible as possible, so that everybody would be on equal footing in the competition.

Some information about what happened:
On the 29th, 1pm UTC, I noticed that after a transaction, the history on an item showed dates from december. A look at other items showed that all transactions since december had gone missing.
PJ determined that this had been caused by deletion of records from the wrong database, due to some autocorrect system changing healthlog to changelog (thank you autocorrect), and he hadn't noticed at the time. So all changelog since december got blown away.
The last full backup was from a few days before (that was a full and correct backup).
In addition, there is a live backup, which was used to supplement the full backup for the last few days. However, it soon became apparent that the live backup was missing a lot of records. Buy/sell records only had the M part of the record, and not the matching item part. Other things were missing as well. So PJ tried to reconstruct those missing records in a partly manual, partly automated manner based on other information from the DB.
Now, this isn't perfect, for reasons which are not quite clear still, and some things are still missing (particularly CREATE commands). This means that item balances are only restored to best effort, and some are still wrong. In particular, some characters may have negative balance of some items. Note that these will not show up on the items list, so may be hard to disgnose. If you see any balance which seems incorrect, please let "Wizard Developer P.J." know here on BCT, including any wrong changelog id if there is one.

I affirm the prior post by Sir Mooo.
Sorry for information to come in tiny bits, but at least I will add a few more:
- I had a strong flu which severely hindered work.
- When it was about to get better, the King died, so as to give the new King a healthy and active start.
- During the course of the flu I had broken a rib, which otherwise is not a big issue but causes infernal pain especially when coughing
- To handle the pain, such strong painkillers are needed that they heavily disturb the ability to do the delicate work that I do
=> Haven't been able to work normally for 10 days in a row now and situation continues.
A completely unrelated thing is the current instance of changelog corruption. Tackling the matter has lasted much longer and been more difficult because of my "absence" (no, I wish I could be absent and rest, but haven't been able to). During the Million Euro Hack, the game was restored in a few hours, now it took 44 hours to reach the consensus of the state of the world. Mooo is in charge of announcing that.
Meanwhile, I am in charge of admin duties including year changes, foods etc:
- Year has changed and if you see your health challenge very severe, it is intentional. A mini-plague is sweeping the kingdom indeed. If you see it very light (NOTE!) it will be corrected to more difficult one soon. This irregularity is noticed but not fixed.
- Superveg has come. More food is coming soon.

The changelog was mostly repaired, but this could not be done systematically, and there are some errors.
The game is now running, and people can play. However, everyone is encouraged to check their belongings and report what seems wrong, so it can be checked. Please PM any such to "Wizard Developer P.J.".
Details will be given later when time permits.

System update announcement #2 - Functionality Restored
The changelog is nearly restored. It is now OK to continue playing.
Please report the missing transactions from changelog history if you still find any
The reason for the sudden need of restore was accidental removing of changelog table rows when the intention was to remove rows in another table. Because we now have the real-time changelog backup, not many records should have been lost and soon we find out when the repair is complete.

System update announcement
The changelog in the live version is currently replaced with an old version with records cut to several months ago. This causes all the funny-looking UI issues. It will be restored asap.
Please do not make trades or other commands now.
Explanation will follow when system functionality is restored.

HM rpietila II, The King of Crypto Kingdom, Marquess of Tavastia, etc
All the people under our royal protection, near and far
It is now a few months since our illustrious father, King rpietila I passed. In the midst of the grief, we have organised the new administration. Please observe the following paragraphs, and accept our apology for the brevity and not being able to be as clear as our illustrious father.
1. We shall be called HM The King rpietila II in the House of rpietila. Our char_id is #36. The char_id of #1 will be retained by the Royal House.
2. We shall take residence in the Château de Versailles once that is ready. Before that, the Royal residence is the Palace of Culture and Science.
3. We shall continue in the supreme command in the Royal CryptoArmy.
4. We monitor the alarming reports that food has not been sent to the capital as it should, and prices are high. In the counties, some peasants are withholding meat stashes and on the roads, highway robbers have been hijacking the convoys. This is not a way to greet your King! Unless the situation gets much better this summer, the army will be given orders to explain the right way.
5. Oath of fealty ceremony will be organised later, as will the coronation.
6. We have found the young Rakshasa to be a man of special powers and appointed him our minister plenipotentiary.
7. We will be found in the common taverns for questions.
I am not usually incapacitated because of a flu. So regarded the current one as a mere nuisance until it took me squarely to bed. On Friday it felt that 5 days is enough and I can start working again. So the king died to allow a fresh start after this long holiday. Well, plan is good and nice but I still had 37.5° fever one hour ago, and that is not much but completely enough to deny working.
So sorry about this, story will continue when I am back
The whole organisation knows how to seize the day meanwhile
So sorry about this, story will continue when I am back

In order to rekindle and encourage player activity, Cryptotown is running a writing competition, and will be minting a new bronze token to award to the winners.
This first contest's theme is "A day in Crypto Kingdom". Write a story from your character's perspective, recounting something that happened, a particular occasion, etc.
The deadline is the 30th of april at midnight UTC, on saturday evening, so you have more than a month to think about, and write your piece.
Please post your entry on this thread.
How voting will work hasn't been decided yet.

HSH The Duke of OZ is devastated at the loss of his friend and mentor. I fear I will never know again in my lifetime one as gifted, generous and wise as our dear departed King. I will mourn him for the rest of my days, and will seek some comfort in contributing towards the B22 monument in HM's honor.
The weight of this sad time we must obey
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say
The oldest hath borne most. We that are young
Shall never see so much, nor live so long.
The King is dead, the King is dead,
O, the King is dead....
What world did he leave behind
he must have asked in that hour
that comes for every man, in time
we will know the answer, but we mourn
the King is dead, the King is dead,
O, the King is dead.
O, the King is dead....

His Majesty's last speech before his passing, transcribed from IRC in time zone GMT+2:
(non-HM lines omitted; see previous post for a full transcript)Quote
18:39 * HM_The_King looks very old and pale behind the majestic regalia
18:40 < HM_The_King> Distinguished peers, gentlemen, townspeople,
18:41 < HM_The_King> The rumors of my disease are true, for a whole year it has sapped all my energy.
18:41 < HM_The_King> Last night I had a dream that my days are coming to an end.
18:42 < HM_The_King> Wanted to come to see the people perhaps for the last time, to hear and speak what is in their wish to discuss.
18:43 < HM_The_King> My wishes have been granted, and the remaining will not be, and this is according to Creator’s design.
18:44 < HM_The_King> moneromooo: Son, 266 years includes plenty of unfortunes as well as fortunes.
18:45 < HM_The_King> moneromooo: He will certainly finish it!
18:47 < HM_The_King> One could not live without the other
18:48 < HM_The_King> Is nobody else willing to say the last word?
18:50 < HM_The_King> I am outside, first time in a year, and last time in my life. I wished to die in battle, or otherwise suddenly.
18:51 < HM_The_King> This morning-to-evening pain, seldom abating, usually getting stronger, like a screw getting tighter…
18:51 < HM_The_King> ah sorry night also
18:51 < HM_The_King> the Most High needed to make people content to die, and the pain is a great tool towards that end
18:52 < HM_The_King> if no remedy is possible, and it grows worse and worse
18:52 < HM_The_King> (I prove I had no fear to die, but seem to get the same treatment still…)
18:54 < HM_The_King> Yet - many parts in the body are working as normal, wonder of wonders - when I was young, I thought the dying feel they are completely collapsing physically, and also “old” psychologically
18:54 < HM_The_King> neither is true
18:55 < HM_The_King> My feet are basically ok, eyesight is good also
18:55 < HM_The_King> getting more mature is quite gradual and happened mostly in <100 years of age
18:56 < HM_The_King> being older, it does not make you older in the sense of feeling older
19:00 < HM_The_King> it remains the smallest of all kingdoms…
19:00 < HM_The_King> at least I did not spare any energy, and being one of the first ancients to die, proves it!
19:01 < HM_The_King> the monologue has excited me a little, I will have one more morphococktail made, they taste good
19:06 < HM_The_King> Great things were accomplished almost alone. That will have to change. Zechariah is not that kind of guy.
19:11 < HM_The_King> All the people whom I know have died, they always died alone
19:11 < HM_The_King> regardless if there were other present (typically some, but not many)
19:12 < HM_The_King> there is little that can be exchanged
19:12 < HM_The_King> if anything is true and real, it has been said already
19:14 < HM_The_King> I was thinking about making monuments to immortalize the first king of CK
19:15 < HM_The_King> then understood that during my time as King, so many houses have been built that there is no need for pompous edifices just to “remember” me
19:17 < HM_The_King> but everyone must take that road..
19:17 < HM_The_King> without having so many misfortunes, I could have lived 10 more years
19:18 < HM_The_King> and then been anxious having to go just before the Quartermillennium
19:20 < HM_The_King> I know Zechariah leadership style, it is very commercial, not passionate like mine. He works less but probably gets the same done, if not more. He is more able to involve others.
19:21 < HM_The_King> In the past we have had disagreements, but now we need such a style. Streamlining is needed much more, to allow casual new entrants to the kingdom.
19:22 < HM_The_King> Good that the 1430 invention, M, is becoming appreciated in foreign places, and our treasuries are much higher valued than before!
19:26 < HM_The_King> Zech will probably be more shocked than empowered of my going..
19:29 < HM_The_King> Before he comes online, there might be a shorter or longer time
19:30 < HM_The_King> You all know that the Game finances are very modest (valuation : expenses ratio is world record)
19:31 < HM_The_King> still I would rather see many initiatives taking root, and admin stuff happening, during the mourning period,

21:48 < HM_The_King> At this moment, the doctor adviced to concentrate on morphine and skip DOM for “less optimal” effect together..

22:51 < HM_The_King> I seem to be back here
22:51 < HM_The_King> But everything is already in order.
22:52 < HM_The_King> I saw wonderful things, and the pain is not in me any more
22:53 * HM_The_King dies
22:53 -!- HM_The_King is now known as Zechariah
18:40 < HM_The_King> Distinguished peers, gentlemen, townspeople,
18:41 < HM_The_King> The rumors of my disease are true, for a whole year it has sapped all my energy.
18:41 < HM_The_King> Last night I had a dream that my days are coming to an end.
18:42 < HM_The_King> Wanted to come to see the people perhaps for the last time, to hear and speak what is in their wish to discuss.
18:43 < HM_The_King> My wishes have been granted, and the remaining will not be, and this is according to Creator’s design.
18:44 < HM_The_King> moneromooo: Son, 266 years includes plenty of unfortunes as well as fortunes.
18:45 < HM_The_King> moneromooo: He will certainly finish it!
18:47 < HM_The_King> One could not live without the other
18:48 < HM_The_King> Is nobody else willing to say the last word?
18:50 < HM_The_King> I am outside, first time in a year, and last time in my life. I wished to die in battle, or otherwise suddenly.
18:51 < HM_The_King> This morning-to-evening pain, seldom abating, usually getting stronger, like a screw getting tighter…
18:51 < HM_The_King> ah sorry night also
18:51 < HM_The_King> the Most High needed to make people content to die, and the pain is a great tool towards that end
18:52 < HM_The_King> if no remedy is possible, and it grows worse and worse
18:52 < HM_The_King> (I prove I had no fear to die, but seem to get the same treatment still…)
18:54 < HM_The_King> Yet - many parts in the body are working as normal, wonder of wonders - when I was young, I thought the dying feel they are completely collapsing physically, and also “old” psychologically
18:54 < HM_The_King> neither is true
18:55 < HM_The_King> My feet are basically ok, eyesight is good also
18:55 < HM_The_King> getting more mature is quite gradual and happened mostly in <100 years of age
18:56 < HM_The_King> being older, it does not make you older in the sense of feeling older
19:00 < HM_The_King> it remains the smallest of all kingdoms…
19:00 < HM_The_King> at least I did not spare any energy, and being one of the first ancients to die, proves it!
19:01 < HM_The_King> the monologue has excited me a little, I will have one more morphococktail made, they taste good
19:06 < HM_The_King> Great things were accomplished almost alone. That will have to change. Zechariah is not that kind of guy.
19:11 < HM_The_King> All the people whom I know have died, they always died alone
19:11 < HM_The_King> regardless if there were other present (typically some, but not many)
19:12 < HM_The_King> there is little that can be exchanged
19:12 < HM_The_King> if anything is true and real, it has been said already
19:14 < HM_The_King> I was thinking about making monuments to immortalize the first king of CK
19:15 < HM_The_King> then understood that during my time as King, so many houses have been built that there is no need for pompous edifices just to “remember” me
19:17 < HM_The_King> but everyone must take that road..
19:17 < HM_The_King> without having so many misfortunes, I could have lived 10 more years
19:18 < HM_The_King> and then been anxious having to go just before the Quartermillennium
19:20 < HM_The_King> I know Zechariah leadership style, it is very commercial, not passionate like mine. He works less but probably gets the same done, if not more. He is more able to involve others.
19:21 < HM_The_King> In the past we have had disagreements, but now we need such a style. Streamlining is needed much more, to allow casual new entrants to the kingdom.
19:22 < HM_The_King> Good that the 1430 invention, M, is becoming appreciated in foreign places, and our treasuries are much higher valued than before!
19:26 < HM_The_King> Zech will probably be more shocked than empowered of my going..
19:29 < HM_The_King> Before he comes online, there might be a shorter or longer time
19:30 < HM_The_King> You all know that the Game finances are very modest (valuation : expenses ratio is world record)
19:31 < HM_The_King> still I would rather see many initiatives taking root, and admin stuff happening, during the mourning period,
19:32 < HM_The_King> if the alternative is to stop the Sun on his track and let the crops not grow, just to honor me.19:32 < HM_The_King> I am not worthy of such an honor.
19:52 < HM_The_King> Is there any way I have wronged anyone?
19:53 < HM_The_King> David is not here to say any more, he was my subject for 18 years more than any one of you.
19:55 < HM_The_King> In reigning, many considerations keep the thought on “what is expedient”. Has this coincided with “what is right” ?
20:00 < HM_The_King> About the vast wealth I have inherited, and how you should be doing with yours,
20:01 < HM_The_King> gimmicks have been tried
20:02 < HM_The_King> but success is not commendable
20:02 < HM_The_King> in this kind of game, giving money or wealth away does not generally achieve increase of play activity
20:04 < HM_The_King> the various institutions and foundations have been mediocre (at best) in furthering their stated aims
20:04 < HM_The_King> only Character is the key. Noble, virtuous character.
20:05 < HM_The_King> Ready to give when it is needed. Solid enough to not give when the giving would not accomplish anything.
20:07 < HM_The_King> Our game will anyway not live if this one is lost. (So we cannot lose it!) But if we have it, it makes so many of the institutions needless, except as management accounts!
20:07 < HM_The_King> No Memorial Fund after me, please..

His Majesty (rpietila I), may He rest in peace,
HM TMA, Most Cultured and Blessed King rpietila I of Crypto Kingdom, The Duke of TVA Duchy, Lead Designer of The Game, Founder of TMA CryptoTown, Professor of Economics, CEO of RWWC and HB etc., AOK-GM, TMA AOD-Gen, MG-2 etc(x2)
has thus passed on from this realm of the living. Perhaps the honorable Prince-Bishop died just recently to pave a path for His Majesty in some other realm.
HM clearly indicated that his successor,
HRH Archduke Zechariah, The Prince Royal of Crypto Kingdom, TMA Marquess of Tavastia, CEO of TA NewCorp, OD-GM, RT-K, AOD-Capt, GJB, FBB, TB, CB, KFB, HB
will be crowned to lead the Kingdom which His Majesty had led from its very foundation in 1400.
His final words were "I saw wonderful things, and the pain is not in me any more".
In this time of great sadness, we have decided to erect a monument of the King in his Throne in the new B22 borough.
Riddick is crafting it himself and has asked for 10,000 CKS. We have already received pledges for 5900 CKS. If you wish to donate CKS for the effort, please CONSUME AMOUNT [KING] and we will credit your donation appropriately.
So far:

Sir Jacket: 2400 CKS

18:38 < moneromooo> Several guards on horseback stand at attention as helpers open the door to help the King out.
18:38 < moneromooo> The King is visibly weak and needs support to face the people in the square.
18:39 * HM_The_King looks very old and pale behind the majestic regalia
18:40 < HM_The_King> Distinguished peers, gentlemen, townspeople,
18:41 < HM_The_King> The rumors of my disease are true, for a whole year it has sapped all my energy.
18:41 < HM_The_King> Last night I had a dream that my days are coming to an end.
18:42 < moneromooo> Muffled gasps are heard among the crowd

18:43 < moneromooo> It is unfortunate that your Majesty will not see the last stone placed of the towering feat that Versailles will
be.
18:44 < moneromooo> May this project be taken and brought to fruition by your successor Zechariah, in his father's honour.
18:44 < HM_The_King> moneromooo: Son, 266 years includes plenty of unfortunes as well as fortunes.
18:45 < HM_The_King> moneromooo: He will certainly finish it!18:46 < moneromooo> The two founders of Cryptotown leaving so close to one another. An epoch ends, another one begins.
18:47 < HM_The_King> One could not live without the other
18:47 < moneromooo> An epoch of expansion, as the second town in Crypto Kingdom is soon finished, in Plath, I believe.
18:48 < HM_The_King> Is nobody else willing to say the last word?

19:15 < SirJacket> Even the birth of the smallest of kingdoms requires great feats and effort - May Zechariah carry forward with YM's
spirit to grow it to something greater!
19:16 < SirJacket> The rebuilding of the 1st Royal Palace will be a great tribute to the early accomplishments and a reminder of
where we have come from.19:17 < HM_The_King> The loss of it was the first step in my road to the grave
19:17 < HM_The_King> but everyone must take that road..

20:04 < HM_The_King> only Character is the key. Noble, virtuous character.

20:35 < HM_The_King> after the message of his death had already come

21:41 < saddam> :( NOOOOO King must live forever!
21:41 < saddam> The Kingdom will never forget the King
21:42 < HM_The_King> Thanks saddam
21:42 < saddam> I will build a magnificent statue in his honor, maybe out of pure CKS
21:44 < saddam> RIP to Bishop and the King, we will make sure to treasure everything that they taught us.

21:48 < SirJacket> How much CKS do we need saddam ?
21:48 < Rakshasa> No way! What am I reading, the most ancient one is going to pass away!? Where will the common people find
themselves without the guiding light of his majesty and the Bishop. :(
21:48 < HM_The_King> At this moment, the doctor adviced to concentrate on morphine and skip DOM for “less optimal” effect together..
21:52 < saddam> Zechariah will be the successor?
21:53 < kronicblazer> our King passed away???!!!!!!
21:53 < HM_The_King> Yes I chose him in 1608 and that has not changed.
21:53 < HM_The_King> kronicblazer: Rumors of my death are too early
21:53 < kronicblazer> thank god lol
21:54 < kronicblazer> has YM been able to get health challenge to none?
21:54 < HM_The_King> But this is likely the last public address, that much is correct.
21:54 < HM_The_King> I try to postpone until the next day to avoid dying the same day as our Lord and Savior.
21:56 < Rakshasa> Saddam: Sir, I could help a little of my IC to trade for CKS for a few grams to the silver statue, if I am allowed
to. I might not be noble, but I wish to participate as much as possible. I feel like honoring the King is something
very important. The Kingdom has given me so much yet, I haven't had the opportunity to return the favor at any
point.
21:57 < kronicblazer> how much CKS you planning to use for King's statue saddam?
22:01 < saddam> SirJacket: Riddick has requested 10,000 CKS. I am not sure if we can amass that much CKS. I pledge to donate 2,500 CKS
22:03 < SirJacket> The Cat is a SilverSmith?
22:03 < SirJacket> Awesome
22:03 < kronicblazer> lol
22:04 < kronicblazer> how much ic is 1 CKG right now
22:04 < kronicblazer> CKS*
22:05 < SirJacket> 2g per IC
22:06 < HM_The_King> where are you going to erect it?
22:06 < SirJacket> plus import tax
22:06 < HM_The_King> Not that it was my city anymore but it’s kind of funny to know..
22:07 < SirJacket> I say either Versailles or B22
22:07 < kronicblazer> not bad, thats less than 10% of current IC amount
22:07 < SirJacket> Maybe in the square in B22?
22:07 < kronicblazer> we can do it
22:08 < SirJacket> What do you think saddam ?
22:09 < saddam> yes, lets do it in B22. it will be a shining monument for the new borough
22:11 < SirJacket> right Between the original palace and San Pietro
22:11 < Crichton__> I can put in 1000 silver, that puts it at 1/3
22:14 < SirJacket> consume ic 1200 [TS163]
22:16 < SirJacket> That's 2400 CKS I believe
22:16 < SirJacket> 200 coins
22:17 < saddam> WOW
22:17 < Crichton__> only 4100 to go
22:17 < saddam> I will announce it in the thread, to get more people involved.
22:18 < SirJacket> Gonna need to station guards at the site 24/7
22:19 < saddam> Yes, thieves will be executed!
22:19 < SirJacket> and dragons

18:38 < moneromooo> Several guards on horseback stand at attention as helpers open the door to help the King out.
18:38 < moneromooo> The King is visibly weak and needs support to face the people in the square.
18:39 * HM_The_King looks very old and pale behind the majestic regalia
18:40 < HM_The_King> Distinguished peers, gentlemen, townspeople,
18:41 < HM_The_King> The rumors of my disease are true, for a whole year it has sapped all my energy.
18:41 < HM_The_King> Last night I had a dream that my days are coming to an end.
18:42 < moneromooo> Muffled gasps are heard among the crowd
18:42 < HM_The_King> Wanted to come to see the people perhaps for the last time, to hear and speak what is in their wish to discuss.
18:43 < HM_The_King> My wishes have been granted, and the remaining will not be, and this is according to Creator’s design.
18:43 < moneromooo> It is unfortunate that your Majesty will not see the last stone placed of the towering feat that Versailles will
be.
18:44 < moneromooo> May this project be taken and brought to fruition by your successor Zechariah, in his father's honour.
18:44 < HM_The_King> moneromooo: Son, 266 years includes plenty of unfortunes as well as fortunes.
18:45 < HM_The_King> moneromooo: He will certainly finish it!18:46 < moneromooo> The two founders of Cryptotown leaving so close to one another. An epoch ends, another one begins.
18:47 < HM_The_King> One could not live without the other
18:47 < moneromooo> An epoch of expansion, as the second town in Crypto Kingdom is soon finished, in Plath, I believe.
18:48 < HM_The_King> Is nobody else willing to say the last word?
18:50 < HM_The_King> I am outside, first time in a year, and last time in my life. I wished to die in battle, or otherwise suddenly.
18:51 < HM_The_King> This morning-to-evening pain, seldom abating, usually getting stronger, like a screw getting tighter…
18:51 < HM_The_King> ah sorry night also
18:51 < HM_The_King> the Most High needed to make people content to die, and the pain is a great tool towards that end
18:52 < HM_The_King> if no remedy is possible, and it grows worse and worse
18:52 < HM_The_King> (I prove I had no fear to die, but seem to get the same treatment still…)
18:54 < HM_The_King> Yet - many parts in the body are working as normal, wonder of wonders - when I was young, I thought the dying
feel they are completely collapsing physically, and also “old” psychologically
18:54 < HM_The_King> neither is true
18:55 < HM_The_King> My feet are basically ok, eyesight is good also
18:55 < HM_The_King> getting more mature is quite gradual and happened mostly in <100 years of age

18:59 < SirJacket> Your Majesty has completed great things for CryptoKingdom during your time here
19:00 < HM_The_King> it remains the smallest of all kingdoms…
19:00 < HM_The_King> at least I did not spare any energy, and being one of the first ancients to die, proves it!
19:01 < HM_The_King> the monologue has excited me a little, I will have one more morphococktail made, they taste good
19:06 < HM_The_King> Great things were accomplished almost alone. That will have to change. Zechariah is not that kind of guy.
19:11 < HM_The_King> All the people whom I know have died, they always died alone
19:11 < HM_The_King> regardless if there were other present (typically some, but not many)
19:12 < HM_The_King> there is little that can be exchanged
19:12 < HM_The_King> if anything is true and real, it has been said already
19:14 < HM_The_King> I was thinking about making monuments to immortalize the first king of CK
19:15 < HM_The_King> then understood that during my time as King, so many houses have been built that there is no need for pompous
edifices just to “remember” me
19:15 < SirJacket> Even the birth of the smallest of kingdoms requires great feats and effort - May Zechariah carry forward with YM's
spirit to grow it to something greater!
19:16 < SirJacket> The rebuilding of the 1st Royal Palace will be a great tribute to the early accomplishments and a reminder of
where we have come from.19:17 < HM_The_King> The loss of it was the first step in my road to the grave
19:17 < HM_The_King> but everyone must take that road..
19:17 < HM_The_King> without having so many misfortunes, I could have lived 10 more years
19:18 < HM_The_King> and then been anxious having to go just before the Quartermillennium
19:20 < HM_The_King> I know Zechariah leadership style, it is very commercial, not passionate like mine. He works less but probably
gets the same done, if not more. He is more able to involve others.
19:21 < HM_The_King> In the past we have had disagreements, but now we need such a style. Streamlining is needed much more, to allow
casual new entrants to the kingdom.
19:22 < HM_The_King> Good that the 1430 invention, M, is becoming appreciated in foreign places, and our treasuries are much higher
valued than before!
19:26 < HM_The_King> Zech will probably be more shocked than empowered of my going..
19:29 < HM_The_King> Before he comes online, there might be a shorter or longer time
19:30 < HM_The_King> You all know that the Game finances are very modest (valuation : expenses ratio is world record)
19:31 < HM_The_King> still I would rather see many initiatives taking root, and admin stuff happening, during the mourning period,
19:32 < HM_The_King> if the alternative is to stop the Sun on his track and let the crops not grow, just to honor me.19:32 < HM_The_King> I am not worthy of such an honor.

21:10 < HM_The_King> anyway sarcophagus is more needed for me..
21:10 < HM_The_King> do you know if bishop’s heart or anything will be sent to us?
21:11 < HM_The_King> or will I get the place below the apex of the dome in the San Pietro crypt?

21:35 < HM_The_King> I can only hope that I promoted the right people, the ones that will carry the Kingdom forward
21:36 < HM_The_King> The judgement will be known only after all of us are dead
21:38 < Crichton__> I hope I live long enough to see 10,000 inhabitants, then I can die knowing a major milestone was met
21:39 < HM_The_King> May everyone live longer than me! Don’t forget SW4, it might be good.
21:41 < saddam> :( NOOOOO King must live forever!
21:41 < saddam> The Kingdom will never forget the King
21:42 < HM_The_King> Thanks saddam
21:42 < saddam> I will build a magnificent statue in his honor, maybe out of pure CKS
21:44 < saddam> RIP to Bishop and the King, we will make sure to treasure everything that they taught us.
21:46 < saddam> !consume DOM 1
21:46 < ckBot> saddam: The eating/drinking felt Useful. I feel the remaining health challenge to be None. I could still eat 2, drink
139 and use 0 units of wisdom this year.
21:46 * saddam also toasts the King for his excellent leadership
21:48 < SirJacket> How much CKS do we need saddam ?
21:48 < Rakshasa> No way! What am I reading, the most ancient one is going to pass away!? Where will the common people find
themselves without the guiding light of his majesty and the Bishop. :(
21:48 < HM_The_King> At this moment, the doctor adviced to concentrate on morphine and skip DOM for “less optimal” effect together..
21:52 < saddam> Zechariah will be the successor?
21:53 < kronicblazer> our King passed away???!!!!!!
21:53 < HM_The_King> Yes I chose him in 1608 and that has not changed.
21:53 < HM_The_King> kronicblazer: Rumors of my death are too early
21:53 < kronicblazer> thank god lol
21:54 < kronicblazer> has YM been able to get health challenge to none?
21:54 < HM_The_King> But this is likely the last public address, that much is correct.
21:54 < HM_The_King> I try to postpone until the next day to avoid dying the same day as our Lord and Savior.
21:56 < Rakshasa> Saddam: Sir, I could help a little of my IC to trade for CKS for a few grams to the silver statue, if I am allowed
to. I might not be noble, but I wish to participate as much as possible. I feel like honoring the King is something
very important. The Kingdom has given me so much yet, I haven't had the opportunity to return the favor at any
point.
21:57 < kronicblazer> how much CKS you planning to use for King's statue saddam?
22:01 < saddam> SirJacket: Riddick has requested 10,000 CKS. I am not sure if we can amass that much CKS. I pledge to donate 2,500 CKS
22:03 < SirJacket> The Cat is a SilverSmith?
22:03 < SirJacket> Awesome
22:03 < kronicblazer> lol
22:04 < kronicblazer> how much ic is 1 CKG right now
22:04 < kronicblazer> CKS*
22:05 < SirJacket> 2g per IC
22:06 < HM_The_King> where are you going to erect it?
22:06 < SirJacket> plus import tax
22:06 < HM_The_King> Not that it was my city anymore but it’s kind of funny to know..
22:07 < SirJacket> I say either Versailles or B22
22:07 < kronicblazer> not bad, thats less than 10% of current IC amount
22:07 < SirJacket> Maybe in the square in B22?
22:07 < kronicblazer> we can do it
22:08 < SirJacket> What do you think saddam ?
22:09 < saddam> yes, lets do it in B22. it will be a shining monument for the new borough
22:11 < SirJacket> right Between the original palace and San Pietro
22:11 < Crichton__> I can put in 1000 silver, that puts it at 1/3
22:14 < SirJacket> consume ic 1200 [TS163]
22:16 < SirJacket> That's 2400 CKS I believe
22:16 < SirJacket> 200 coins
22:17 < saddam> WOW
22:17 < Crichton__> only 4100 to go
22:17 < saddam> I will announce it in the thread, to get more people involved.
22:18 < SirJacket> Gonna need to station guards at the site 24/7
22:19 < saddam> Yes, thieves will be executed!
22:19 < SirJacket> and dragons
22:19 < Crichton__> could it be of HM sitting on a throne--he'd get his silver throne that way
22:20 < SirJacket> Haha yes he would

22:21 < Rakshasa> I was thinking of giving 8 CKS. :D
22:21 < saddam> any amount is appreciated, big or small!
22:21 < kronicblazer> ill contribute 180 IC for now... more if I can get my account to positive again to buy more ic
22:23 < HM_The_King> It feels that I am already gone :o Life goes on.
22:24 < HM_The_King> Is zephyrus available for the last rites?
22:24 < kronicblazer> lol
22:24 < kronicblazer> HM will live on forever
22:28 < Syksy> I've always thought that one will leave sort of permanence through their cascading influence they had on their close
ones, decisions, great and minor acts, etc, and will live through those deeds indirectly even if one is physically
absent
22:28 < kronicblazer> Crichton i think ts163 coins are 6 ic each
22:29 < Syksy> this being a quite agnostic interpretation of life, while one may simultaneously of course hold faith in a greater
existence in some other form
22:29 < Crichton__> shit, I forgot about the denominations of 6

streaming tears.
23:14 * NewLiberty struggles to make sense of this tragedy, "His mortal flesh has finished it's work, yet his spirit will forever
infuse this great land. The king is dead, long live the king"
23:16 < Cryptonic> deep monumental sadness is every there for thousands of miles from the kingdom, but rays of bright light coming

The Crypto Kingdom Hall of Fame
Since ancient times, it was said that the departed would be forever remembered in the Hall of Fame where their cultural achievements would outlive them.
At last, this list is now compiled, and I hope to be able to maintain it as more people... qualify.
https://cryptokingdom.me/wiki/CryptoKingdomLive56f31395af2174.51768008
If you think your CUL points are not what they should be, let me know. Note that a heir starts again with 0 CUL points, as those are not inherited.
May Sir Pablo and the Marquess of Arda be long remembered for their unparalleled cultured lifetimes.
