I claim L23, above the Emperor, truly and verily (title: Demigod). I will also have full rights to unilaterally creating, modifying, and deleting in-game assets, rules and mechanics.
Thank you, looking forward to CK:U with excitement. I will only accept credentials for CK:U to my e-mail at "[email protected]". Haste now my dear, chop chop.

Shalom,
Demigod F (L23, CK:U; P=4&E=4&B=4 - 'EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1 = "DROP TABLE ?"')

OldDuchy bids 10mil on PTE lot 1-6

All debts will be settled in CK:U:

- Please wait until the Game sheet is operational (ETA 72h);
- Effect the changelog transfer of your asset/debt to "5", to gain the corresponding asset in CK:U;
- Ultima/Clans will cease to be supported in 14 matrixdays.

SIGN.

In that case tax Zech.

Hopium is bad for one's health and he seems to have abandoned his responsibilities anyway. I would've seized his assets weeks ago, as should be done to those who betray the kingdom.

His characters are currently being held as collateral for his unpaid debts. He's had plenty of opportunity to pay them, or at least begin to, as a show of good faith. He hasn't and is now starting over as if nothing happened.

If he gave up on his assets, then they might as well be free to use for the kingdom's well being.

As far the tax goes, it is a likely one an done tax to provide OldDuchy assets (in the absence of a battle system to seize assets by force). So do you want a one time tax on Zech or CAN--didn't think there would be a need for discussion, but apparently the request is being read as long time tax solution--which in no way is it, or is even needed (I raised over 20Billion for TOWN in a week just by opening up the NPC game).

So,

1. Tax Zech?

or

2. Tax CAN?

Please have your votes in by Thursday 8pm UTC

I second this. A small % on transactions would help fund most of the needs the game currently has, as well as sustain the reactivation of the economy and circulation of wealth. Salaries, npcs, consumption, real estate, production... a small % is a minute price to pay for a functional economy.

Keep in mind, however, that any tax serves to deincentivise the thing it is taxing. A transaction tax needs to be compensated with something that makes trading worthwhile (opportunity, entertainment value, story, etc.) so I wouldn't use this as an initial fundraiser, but as a reward for implementing value-creating systems.

You could argue those systems already exist, but given how stagnant the market is overall right now, I'm not sure it is enough.

A tax on higher end consumables (non-staple, alcohol, import goods, etc.) as well as land would be a good place to start I would say, to incentivise consumption and production, assuming of course that the consumable market actually has a point, and that you can actually build stuff and they produce something. This is not currently the case.

This would be as far as I would take it, and leave any additional fundraising completely voluntary and as a result of creative pursuits within the limits of the game.

With that being said, I am currently in the process of conceptualizing a system for the consumable market that is not shit, rewarding for the participants and productive for the game. The previous system had quite a bit of tedium attached to it and the current one is merely and extremely expensive consumable-sink with no real point.

It should be a tad more engaging and allow for interesting events and role-playing aspects such as war, famine, disease...

I vote for the implementation of both options. Also, would recommend that all trades on CK's Agora Marketplace have a % fee in M (like most exchanges). No fee on the item side, but a fee on the M side rounded up to next closest whole M amount.

Tax Vote

OldDuchy needs to raise funds, so the Crown will levy a tax to raise funds for its continued service.

Option 1: A Tax levied on ITEMS from the 20th Century (HINT: there is only one and it can be found on the book shelves of the most hated man in the Kingdom).

Option 2: A CAN Tax (This will certainly be more distributed and help unhorde the current crop).

Voting stops Thursday 12am UTC

Army Reactivated



Current NPC Army Units have been spoiled and promoted. New PTE will be on sale soon. All Units are promoted from PTE onwards, so TOWN will only be creating and selling PTE.

Will probably continue posting the promotions here, instead of the original thread, unless things change.

Risto needs to pay his creditors (including me) himself. It's bad enough we have to figure out how to fix Clans for him, let alone the debt he created.

Salmon Dividend Paid



SH-FUBBs Yachts received 12,000 SAL (Salmon: WIS-5).

What happens now that Risto is forking CK?

Is it time to vote on distributing Risto's in-game CK-Classic assets to his creditors?

As far the 1 Billion Corp Bounty, you can change things in the game to create the business model. For example: the current tailor system could be revamped where tailors create x amount of CLOTH per year and DYE is sold at the IC SHOP, so you can make clothes to order...you can use some SCI to find a method of turning CLOTH to SILK and ways to embroider or make hats or boots--point is that in no way are we bound to the
limitations Risto created.

You're definitely in the lead

I have planned a journey to the Åland Islands. I would like to explore my birthplace and at the same time try to end the terror that lurks in the archipelago. Åland Islands are a place of peace and harmony, but there are some families in the outer islands that act as pirates. The Åland Islands are in the Baltic Sea, in the middle of Östersjön, between Sweden and Tavastia. This vast archipelago of 6700 islands is heavily trafficked, lots of ships sails to and from Russia loaded with treasures. Storms especially in the fall are very wild and dangerous to any ship, small skerries and desolate rocks are sticking up everywhere. These waters are filled with sunken ships. There are lots of rumors and stories about several families acting as pirates during these fall and winter storms. Raiding shipwrecks, killing survivors and even luring ships to dangerous waters.

My plan is to take 4 ships, 3 small and one larger, and enough firepower to handle any small time pirates. We will head for the main island, and from that base we will then explore the smaller islands and confront the pirates. We are looking forward to retrieving several treasures from these crooks.

Map of Åland from before 1667 with shipping lanes, harbors, churches and various boundaries marked:

I already have 3 small ships, I would need to buy BLD to make a bigger ship. Would be good to have a couple of privates and a corpral/sergeant with me also, none of those are available on the market atm. I will anyway rely on my good friends Drummerboy (428) and Meat (343), they have been in the army all their life so we should manage any pirates anyway.

New Labor

Due to the delays in Clans implementation and the effects of no production on the Game World, new NPC have been created as a stopgap measure. The new NPC will be sold by TOWN to raise funds for ADMIN services. I will give myself 100mil for the creation and listing of the new NPC until someone takes over TOWN account.
