18:37 < moneromooo> Just as His Highness the Duke of NewLiberty walks by, a six hoarse carriage arrives on the central square.
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
18:56 < HM_The_King> being older, it does not make you older in the sense of feeling older18:58 -!- Lloydimiller4- [~Lloydimil@unaffiliated/lloydimiller4] has joined ##crypto-kingdom
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.
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..20:07 < HM_The_King> rather, do what is right, always and every day of your life!
20:07 < HM_The_King> With some confidence, this is what I can say I have done.

20:26 < Cryptonic> YM, your spirit will stay with us forever!
20:30 < HM_The_King> I believe mine will. But please treasure the spirits of the others who pass, as well.
20:30 < HM_The_King> Crypto Kingdom is no ordinary thing.
20:31 < HM_The_King> The Chinese have been successful because they take good care of the ancestors
20:32 < HM_The_King> We somewhat lack enthusiasm in the Church side
20:34 < HM_The_King> Just some time ago a letter from David reached me
20:35 < HM_The_King> after the message of his death had already come
20:35 < HM_The_King> so in the midst of spookiness, I read his last words
20:36 < HM_The_King> “I am very pleased that crypto-kingdom and doing well and all the more saddened I could not have been a part of
it. “
20:37 < HM_The_King> “I plan to not cash out anything from crypto-kingdom.”
20:37 < HM_The_King> with other parts being more confidential to the GM
20:47 * Syksy listens as well
20:55 * HM_The_King bursts in a heart-rending episode of cough, multiple different styles, however similar to the many already
experienced during the “event”
21:05 < HM_The_King> Kings do not get an invitation to their successor’s coronation...
21:05 < HM_The_King> and the silver throne remains not ordered :/
21:06 < HM_The_King> Zechariah promised LAG for everyone
21:06 < HM_The_King> and that is a good product indeed
21:06 < HM_The_King> we have so many good ones
21:07 < HM_The_King> 32 years only consumed 1/3 of the CLXII
21:07 < HM_The_King> with me gone, who is going to enjoy it anymore?
21:09 < HM_The_King> Zenon has difficulty making the SW4
21:09 < HM_The_King> the prices of the previous iterations are trashed
21:09 < HM_The_King> but it’s a scientific project..
21:09 < SirJacket> !consume CLXII 1
21:09 < ckBot> SirJacket: The eating/drinking felt Useful. I feel the remaining health challenge to be None. I could still eat 0,
drink 9 and use 0 units of wisdom this year.
21:09 * SirJacket toasts the King
21:09 < HM_The_King> sort of funny to be able to say “not my problem”
21:09 < Crichton__> as far as the throne is concerned, can one be made as a sculpture and coated with silver, I think this would be
the same as the obelisk in theory?
21:09 < HM_The_King> my latest idea would be to have a K10 ART item with bonus silver paid separately
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
