Royal Weapons Corporation
1 Billion M Bounty

The Royal Weapons Corporation, its subsidiaries of Royal Carriage Corporation and Royal Window Works Corporation, would like to extend a warm welcome to all players. After a successful entrance into the new era of production, we have been fortunate as a family of companies to fufill a few of CK's needs--we would like to share our success with others, and extend the production and resource base of the Game, by offering a Billion M bounty for a new Corporation and/or Expedition.

RULES:

Corporation: Winner will be determined on the basis of the ability to create a realistic and/or novel means of production, ability to manage resources effectively, and market their product or product line. The winner will be given 1 Billion M and a corporate account, RWC will distribute the shares of the new company per agreement between RWC and CEO (mainly to determine how many shares the CEO wishes to purchase pre-IPO--standard policy is 10/40/50 split with 10% going to CEO, 40% to the IPO and 50% going to the parent company RWC--due to the large nature of the bounty, the CEO may wish to increase their initial share beyond the typical agreement).

Expedition: Winner will be based on storytelling and planning. The winner will be given ship(s)and supplies based on their expressed needs, along with any extra funding left over from their Billion M budget--these expenses will be pre-figured based on the plan that the Explorer(s) presents to RWC. RWC will receive rights to any ITEMS from this exploration with both parties having the ability to renegotiate their positions if further exploration is desired beyond the scope of the first expedition.

Good luck to all,
RWC CEO, HM_Crichton

Congrats to the winner of the auction!
All transfers have been made.

 
Drugs are a good reason--literally a drug can turn you into someone else, capable of psychopathic behavior (let's blame them for me fucking them over--as an example, OC), general dumbassery ("I can't gets my accounts to work!!!") and bouts of gibberish laced with manic-depression ((((((HIGHx9))))){{{dude!}}}^^^O^^^--->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm77s5FbkoQ<---Watch.Music.Listen.2.Chase

--good chance this is all an act, also--see malla ms paint makeover

Do the old-timers here think rpietila is going 'crazy' and losing all his crypto $$ to avoid a divorce settlement with his ex-wife? I find it hard to believe after all these years he would deliberately trash his reputation without there being a good reason.

2. 825 CKG - 340mil M

Bid Roo: Item 4. 2mil m.

These pieces will be more mobile than their carriageless counterparts and allow cannon units to keep pace with fast moving armies. The initial 8-pound unit will offer increased rate of fire and more maneuverability than heavier siege models to be offered in the coming years. Don't let the small size fool you, they can emaciate field units and demolish less fortified positions with as much gusto as their bigger cousins. Staring price: 175mil: https://cryptokingdom.me/marketplace/item/cann-f8

So new depositors get a money back guarantee,  nice!

That's a good plan, but what happens with rpietila, if he's still around as the largest CK whale the question becomes how do you get him inside the tent pissing out, rather than outside the tent pissing in. He looks about as reliable as Andreas Lubitz at the moment.

Crypto Kingdom: A New Hope?
Crowdfund, TEC, and Other Ramblings...

Alright, so my last little bit of hopium has burned out. Funny how I thought I was entering the game at the lowest point during the extended pause, but all this depository business seems to have left us at an even lower point.

At this stage, I feel we have two options. Just wait and wait and eventually see this game/concept die, or do something to revitalize the game. Let me share a few random thoughts and people can discuss more on here or on IRC/slack.

We need a development fund (composed of BTC, XMR, or something with good liquidity). There can be a multipronged approach as to how this is raised. We can do a crowdfund of current CK players for, say, $30k - $50k in donations. We could also either dilute (by issuing more "M") or look towards takeover of certain in-game M assets and use those for a crowdsale/token exchange campaign.

With these funds, we can engage with a development firm or team to handle the coding and user interface (maybe even game art) aspects. Game "design" can be handled by interested CK players.

I would also recommend open source (at least in terms of a private repo for trusted users) and tokenization of one or more of the CK assets (such as M and gold).

I have recommended a team that has both blockchain and game design experience on the Slack channel.

Thoughts?

Gringotts Update

So far we haven't had any luck finding a suitable manager for Gringotts depository from existing players of CK. If anyone is interested please contact me!

I plan to approach an established escrow provider and ask them to secure deposited funds for Gringotts on our behalf. If anyone has any recommendations for escrow providers please pass them on.

This arrangement will be less than ideal, but hopefully it will be temporary, and once the Game resumes fully I'm confident we will find a depo manager for Gringotts who is also an active player with potential for admin privileges.

The interim setup will probably allow deposits only for a time, so new players can join and start learning the game mechanics, and to give CK a chance to resume gradually without the threat of another mass withdrawal.

My intention is NOT to provide an exit for existing players, but an entry for new ones. Confidence in the Game is very low, and will likely continue thus until the b1 debt issue is resolved, and the nature of long-term participation by the Game creator and former GM, Risto, is more certain.

I do not expect a mass influx of new players until these outstanding issues have been resolved, but when they are I expect confidence in CK will return, and when it does we will open withdrawals.


edit: if confidence in CK never returns, and the Game ends before withdrawals are opened, all deposited funds will be returned

Dip Points

If you have DIP points, it looks like the former conversion list was lost with Syksy. So if you want them exchanged for IC or SCI at a 2/1 ratio, please make a request here and I'll do it ASAP. That's 2 IC or SCI for each DIP.

Example: I have 300 DIP that I will exchange for 600 IC
