[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 2)]

A period of time passed, the smoke from the cigar was the only smell sensed, and either it had become quiet in the town, or the hearing was still directed to other tuning. Zechariah felt the connection to still be in effect, but he could not formulate an intelligible answer to the unusual question, simple as it was presented, in only two syllables voiced, omitting the object. At the moment he saw as if Mr. Peter Todd's face, or more correctly, bust, appeared on the scene, the first actual vision during the revelation. Peter said nothing, yet Zechariah perceived the words "Maybe I am you."; as clearly as he had perceived the smile of the Voice.

Years ago, during the Cultural Era, HM The King [rpietila I, Zechariah's father] had visited foreign lands in a trip that lasted for 7 years. [especially for those not well-versed with CK history, the link to the appropriate era and of the very incident is here.] Despite not being in excellent terms with his only-begotten, he had nevertheless shared the memories from the trip, including how he went speechless upon hearing those words from Peter. At that time, they were the last words known to be exchanged between them, for added effect. The distortion to the time/space in connection to those events was discussed as if nothing special. The whole of Ancient Era feels like a dream, a product of another, higher vibration. When the water was healthy and people did not need alcohol to survive, and nobody died and...

"Wait a moment? Is it not strange that when Father relied the incident to me, he did not give the information how Peter looked like? Now I do see a likeness, without knowing how it would look like, and I do not hear a voice, yet perceive it nevertheless, and I am having a deja-vu of experience that never was mine in the first place."

The domain of thought was active in Zechariah, most of what was processed during the pause in conversation, was lost to the world forever and cannot be recorded. If such a concept of losing anything forever actually is possible... When Zechariah was expecting it, the Voice started again, as if Zechariah's thought had been open to the Voice all of the time, the latter just waiting for the adequate level of expressible insight to be formed in the former before continuing. It was then that Zechariah realised he had not actually uttered a word so far.


- Zechariah, there is more to Life than you have allowed yourself to believe that can be comprehended. You know the poem, stating 'Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben / und der Cherub steht vor Gott'. From where did this insight come from? The author extended the measuring line of life, from what he considered the lowest entity capable of feeling pleasure, the worm, all the way to the cherubim, the most high angelic being, and finally, God. The presentation is good, but there is more: A worm is not nearly the simplest life-form. There is a blade of grass as well, a speck of sand, and things much smaller. In time, you will have the science capable to count the primal constituents of a worm, and you will find the number to be so large that if all the inhabitants in CryptoTown could possess or embody the same number of entities in them, and these could do the same with themselves, it would not be two or three times that the process needs to be repeated, before the full physical stature of the worm is revealed. And that would only be the physical level. Nothing physical has even happened to you, Zechariah, during this conversation! So there is more to the the World than physical.

[The Voice continued to use 'CryptoTown' as a unit of relative stature throughout the vision when needed. Since the population of CryptoTown is usually quoted to be about 10,000, the meaning of 'two or three CryptoTowns' (abbr. 'CT') equals to 'about 10,000^2...10,000^3'. This, of course, can be written in our mathematics, 10^8...10^12, and with some additional deduction we can limit it to be perhaps in between 10^9...10^11, since otherwise the Voice would have said 'about two' or 'some three', given that he knows the correct value to the nearest power of 10. So, CryptoTowning mathematically equals taking the log base 10,000. A worm consists of ~6 CT atoms.]

- You possess the old Bible of your father. Does it not say that you are more valuable than all the birds in the air? There are certainly more birds in the air than people in CryptoTown! Birds eat worms, and worms eat dirt. Is a bird more valuable than all the worms? How about the relation of worms and dirt? Even then, with Zenon's instrumentation, you can see that there is so much to a flake of dirt that you could spend your lifetime counting its wonders, and the words to be written of its crystalline or organic nature, its vibrations, the harmony or disharmony in itself, or in its relation to its parts, or its surroundings, the nature of its existence in the planes and dimensions, the state of evolution of its proto-soul, the total self-reliance that life-forms in its plane of being-ness enjoy, ... [even these words have substance only to a subset of people, and the ones that followed were such that Zechariah was not included in the said subset anymore]

- The beings you interact with - please allow me to sharpen the terminology to the level of exactness not typically needed in a communication, for it will be of use to our communication soon - your friends, the town-dwellers, your soldiers, the peasants. Are they on the same level of being-ness as you? Gird yourself, this is a serious question. If not, do they go to the direction of the worm, or that of the cherub? And before you answer, this may sound ludicrous, but - can I have some of what you are smoking? It might help to maintain the connection.

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 1)]

- Zechariah,

Zechariah perceives as if a scene had been erected to his vision of the burning town, seen from the incline nearby. The visuals from what he considered 'reality' and those of the 'revelation', blend in his sight to a difficult-to-describe (and impossible to forget) collage of visual understanding. What felt like moments, pass without change in the scene, and the thoughts reached a standstill, which makes the perception of time unreal, because time is sensed by the passage of thoughts: absent them, there is no faculty to feel the time.

The first thing to enter mind after the blockage, is the sense of familiarity from a long time ago. In his youth, Zechariah had been called by this name, but for a person this old, youth is objectively long ago. His Majesty Crichton was not born when Zechariah had last been addressed Zechariah. Even in the jolly days of the Ancient Era, he had been called Tavastia, after the marquessate to the north of the River, which was burning in front of his very eyes. Then he was Royal Prince or Prince Royal, then His Majesty the King rpietila II, and after abdication, His Royal Highness, and among (the few) peers - Zenon, Soul, and NewLiberty, the triad of Wisdom in the Kingdom - he was mostly called Prince (this was out of convenience, since none of the other three strictly is a prince, Zenon being a grand wizard, Soul a grand duke and NewLiberty simply a duke). This custom was extended to the general staff during the Campaign of the River a few decades ago, and again in the Campaign of Kansanmarkka, the campaign just about to end in the surrender of the land, if not the spirits.

Names, they are strong connectors of energies. Zechariah is soon transferred to ages past, merely, as it seems, from the hearing of his Christian name by a sounding Voice. As if his father was calling. The memories come intensely, without possibility to enumerate.


"Yes."

How do you properly address a Voice?? Again, moments pass in thought-solitude, and the flames move about in their dance towards the stars, yet the hearing is tuned to the new channel alone.

- Zechariah, the emotions and memories of an old soul are strong in the moments like this. Your intense energy has distorted what future generations would term the time/space continuum, and allowed me to visit you. Be calm, I am with you as long as the connection can be maintained in this special moment. When I depart, you will still not be alone, you always will have Someone, for all are One.

"..."

- It is all right that you are speechless. In your conscious level, you have not been calling me, yet you have been calling in your mind, in your thoughts, in your heart. The intense longing for Connection, it has been in you since the [Golden Jubilee in 1450] ball in the connected halls of newly-built Malla, the day of your Introduction, when the debutantes blushed at your boyish energies, you handsome lad! That day you felt the Life had begun, as indeed it had. You still have that Something as a remembrance from her in your personal items, do you not?

- I have been waiting for so long to contact you. Now you have arrived to the conclusion of your mission. Gaze upon you! I know your emotion is tuned to absorb the moment, yet I say it. There is nothing like this you have experienced before, nor will experience. Indeed, you did not consider something like this even could happen, so carpe diem, here it is! The high point. The End of an era.

"Sir, I know my years are many, and the weight of my memories in this dense moment seems too much to bear. However my body feels not ill - have you come to tell me that I will die here? Is this my last experience - to see my loving family, friends, the township I had learned to call 'home', engulfed in flames? Are you my father, are you Death?"

- No, Zechariah. You are not dying, nor are you becoming crazy. All is well. The emotion of the moment is burning you, but it is burning in a purifying way. This is the consummation of your search for Power. You were not born a King; in the wisdom of your father, you were not even designated Royal by birth. Yet, since the Introduction, of course you had the aspiration, the inner feeling of surety in the Universe, that one day you will be. It is OK to light a Cohiba, it is a good wisdom product. Everything you have experienced so far, has been like a spear aimed at penetrating the Veil of Confusion, the Illusion of Disconnectedness, every moment with CAN, MUS, and the more exotic like, has recharged the cosmic battery, so to speak, or added the specks of mass to the huge but acute Scale of Ascension. You cannot count the specks, they are innumerable, but now we are through. The connection can indeed be maintained by a good smoke, and I sense you still need some time to get back your tongue...

- You have thought about human experience. Why you became conscious of the beauty of Life in the Introduction? What has been the meaning of the various experiences since then? Why is the consciousness sometimes sharp as a needle, other times dull as the discussion in the Grail & Quail in 6 a.m. after the departure of all the souls whose Expressions were interacting like the sparks of divinity in the flickering flames of the big fireplace there, when only the boring types were left with empty jugs, desirous to fill them once more, but with the Spirit departed with the gentle closing of the door after the last of the Pillars and his Shadow? What is a SOUL? You spent decades in learning and experiencing the multifarious facets of the 3D physical experience, honing your equestrian skills, your sword and later your pistol, your books, your business and economics (after your father).

Yet, the mysteries of the Soul have escaped you. You are a quasquibicentenarian [the age of 225], and know both the meaning and the pronunciation of the word. You have added to your title 'Creator', which your father did not do. You have amassed great wealth, and great power. Kansanmarkka came forth of your thought, and blossomed and people were looking intently at you like they did to Job when he was sitting at the Gates of his town before his tribulations, four thousand years ago. And when your thought departed it [Kansanmarkka], it withered and died. - -

"Sir, I apologize. I should not have infringed the Higher Powers and haughtily assumed titles to which I am not privy to. I just... I felt there was need to wake up the others. Those precious people that I had grown with, lived with, the ones that now operate the offices of the Kingdom, of senate ... I have not had wrong intention in what I have done. I - - "

- Zechariah, all is fine. I am not here to judge you. You are correct in what you have said. Your intention has been pure all the years. You cannot lie, so you rightfully must acknowledge that you are pure, just and good. It is not wrong, in fact it is right, to call you a Creator. Kansanmarkka IS your creation, the experience of calling it forth and, later, the withdrawing of your Spirit from it so that it dissolves to nothingness, that is little different from the experience of the creator of the World, who keeps grass growing where it is seen and where it is not seen. You have become to perceive the creative energy of the Universe, you have played with that, and you have mastered that.

The flames from the burning 'preparation site of the House of Tavastia, the would-be-coming-Seat in the Marquessate of Tavastia, claimed ~1490', formed a voiceless background to the voice of the Voice.

"Sir, are you God?"

If it were possible to sense a smile in the countenance of the voice, which during all the act had not materialised despite the open scene that still was erected in the visual field of Zechariah, meshed with the eerie background of the flames of the burning memories of the 14 years' of life, there would certainly have been such a smile. Zechariah perceived the smile, so it was there. The Voice said:

- Zechariah, are you?

So what should we do with the MK and MKA remained in our accounts? Just leave them there?

Yeah. There is an off-chance that during the 14 day claims period someone decides the start we had is good enough that he'd be willing to redeem my majority ownership for the threshold sum of BTC20. Considering the public domain nature of the idea, and that it requires special talent to steer the ship, this is unlikely. (Well it includes 20 hours of my consulting, which might justify the investment as such Wink ). Anyone can just start their own without paying me anything.

MK/MKA will be deleted at the end of the claims period.

[email protected]: I posted to the team members about how to make the best use of the extra time that I now have in my hands, after the surprisingly quick decision to close Kansanmarkka. Please chime in, let's discuss the matter there before I start pouring pages-long posts here all of a sudden Cheesy

ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING THE ITEM: MKA


The negotiations between the principals in Kansanmarkka about the possibility to continue without my personal involvement have ended.

The conclusion was that there is no value in the project without me. Hence the project is discontinued. MK/MKA bids are erased.

Kansanmarkka was a very high energy venture. The potential to rock the entire monetary system of the world lies within any individual who possesses the vision and stamina to make it happen. It appeared that in this first attempt, I was a necessary ingredient and the project could not continue without me. I, however, do not believe my skills are unique and impossible to "teach". I will continue teaching.

Crypto Kingdom returns to my #1 "business" priority.

There is a caveat, however, that I generally feel at the same time extremely capable to work, but also somewhat unmotivated, after seen the whole wide world from the mountaintop of Kansanmarkka, yet having no opportunity to permanently change it just yet. Go speculate! Good that trades are public, so everyone can see how everyone else is staking Smiley

ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING THE ITEM: MKA

Quote from: MKA item desc¬e
2017-2-5 - PLEASE READ CHANGES - TOTAL ISSUANCE IS **DECREASED** BY CANCELING OF CERTAIN SHARES OWNED BY RPIETILA. 1 unit of Economic Bureau share, held in a depository in Markkakanta system. Currently non-redeemable.

Economic Bureau (taloustoimisto) manages the Kansanmarkka currency in Finland (5.5M people). It is an ingame company in Markkakanta (similar to Ultima) with maximum total share+options issuance of roughly as follows:
2 million, now ////
4 million, with 50k users ////
6 million, with 1M users ////
8 million, with 3M users ////
10 million, with 5M users. ////
+tail emission quota 0.1 million per year (begins when 1M users)

2017-2-5: Currently issued:
* All shares and options total = 344,995 units
* (of which) All shares with votes and dividends = 284,095 units
* (of which) All shares free trading = 238,160 units
* (of which) Free trading in CK platform = 85,000 units.

The shares are collectively eligible for 9.1% of total new currency issuance in the system, which will be paid as dividends. Dividends will be passed through as soon as 1*MKA reaches 1*MK in accrued dividends. So on average a MKA contains 0.5*MK.

Details and practicalities:
- Kansanmarkka used to have 1,194,995 shares issued in total in all series.
- I was the Taloudenhoitaja (Chairman&CEO) of the project.
- As part of reorganisation, I will step down. My reason to stop involvement is personal. The divorce is hitting me harder than first imagined and I did not anyway do anything for the project last 2 months.
- The likely new Taloudenhoitaja is Fr0g1, while the largest owner is another Finnish person in online news media.
- This forfeits my 500,000 options (MKD) plus I voluntarily annul 350,000 deferred-trading shares (MKB).
- As a result, only 28.87% of Kansanmarkka total shares remain. This corresponds to a 3.464:1 reverse split
- The market price had already tanked about 90% during the uncertainty, being 35,000 M/MKA as we speak.
- The 30,000*MKA created to CK, are a transfer from Markkakanta platform. There has been no net creation of shares (quite the opposite, see above).
- Trading will remain open and Coinshop will have marketmaking as before.
- Of the team members, nobody else except me has announced the desire to quit.
- I am in the process of selling my shares. Considering the already-happened price reduction of 90% from the levels which I considered reasonable when I still was involved, and the fact that the total # of shares is reduced by more than 70%, the sales will happen at very depressed levels of price. I am not seeking to trash the price any more though, it is completely conceivable that I will annul even MKA shares in addition to the 85% of my shares already annulled, rather than sell at a pittance, or transfer the remainder without compensation to the active team members.
- Contact me in PM for wonderful bargains.

Any news about the MK / MKA project? It seems that 75 000 new MKA was created/issued by fr0g1 and allanw. Thats like printing your own money in CK Smiley

Kansanmarkka received a new "CEO" while I continue as the Chairman. I promised the new guy (fr0g1) that he may take any authority that he needs to get the project moving, and I will only veto the decisions that are out-of-place.

The creation of 75000*MKA to CK was vetoed by me, it was not according to the mutual understanding. The shares have been annulled.

We are moving on with the project in a big time now, so please be patient and consider that it might take off big time, now as we have strengthened resources, with me also coming back on board soonish after the winter hiatus/levelup. (More about my personal experiences and growth coming up in my Wall Observer.)

I will not be buying any MKA for 12 hours from this post. All past trades stay in force.

Agenda for 2017

1. Archduke determined by who can create a working gambling hall with at least no limit hold 'em and includes the ability to gamble on all items in CK and has live chat. More to follow, but first thing is first.

It is wisdom to not give pearls to swine, lest they trample them and attack you. Let us ponder for a moment about what an Archduke means...

As Creator of the world, Gamemaster, etc., I also took it on me (rpietila I) to be the King (L20/20) from the early on (1400).

Yet, the first King was never crowned. The Crown was made for the inauguration of the House of Magnificence in 1530, but no ceremony was held.

The first Prince had been appointed in 1525 (OZ) and the first Duke in 1570 (New Liberty).

Above Duke, there is Grand Duke and then, the highest of the non-royal nobles, Archduke.

Almost to this day, nobody holds either of these ranks. Paul was created Grand Duke in 1650.

Except, me of course. Zechariah, who first in 1608 was created Archduke (since the title was merged with Prince Royal at the time) among all the other titles that the Heir would be entitled to. I held the rank until 1632, but the House level always was King.

During my reign as rpietila II, 1632-1647, there were no Royal Princes, no Archdukes and no Grand Dukes.

Until the ascension of HMC not too long ago, no house except mine has ever held Archduke or higher title. Now there are 2 Royals and still no proper Archdukes.

Just that you'd appreciate what it means to be one... Wink

GM trusts the matter in the hands of the King. After all, it is good to cultivate trust.

Try to sell CK marketcap below EUR 0.5 million so you'll see the mistake you've made.

Cool, only wanted a timeline but this part piqued my interest.

1. Do we have the authority to pursue getting ck added to an exchange and will PJ or yourself be available for help in the implementation or to answer technical questions if the opportunity arises?

2. I know in the past we could add another coin. Is this still applicable and is there any guidelines for doing it, and will PJ or yourself be made available in case the opportunity arises?

1. There is no need to involve PJ in this matter as it can be done within admin authority and permissions.

2. There is no need to involve PJ or myself in this matter as it can be done within admin authority and permissions.

3. If (for some reason despite what I just said) PJ or myself is required for technical implementation, please contact us on Slack.

4. If there is a need / a wish to coordinate whether the planned improvements fit in the vision of CK (held by me), contact me.

I'm sorry if I am unpatient but do you have any timeframe when will the clans module will be implemented?

It is being implemented as we speak, a part at a time. Smiley

Is there a timeline?

Check out my shit in the other threads. I am in the process of going through an IRL level upgrade, and for a guy in my level already, that's not a trivial matter, nor something I could anticipate, plan ahead, control nor schedule. All I know is I was not born yesterday and have been through somewhat like this before, and emerged more potent than ever, every single time.

If this is not enough to cause you to buy CK, you should probably be selling instead.

As before, I must emphasize that there is much untapped authority that the King, Senate, etc can do any day. I will wake up when I am ready.

ADD: In about 8 of the last 11 years, I would anyway have been paralysed by depression this time of the year. So whatever this unbelievable thing that is happening to me is, it does not take a minute out of my active concentration (to CK or any other project worth doing), since I would not have it anyway. Sorry that I know well enough that going into any details is unlikely to cause a net positive perception in the target audience here, for which reason I will only drop them occasionally.

If there is a slightest doubt that (any one of) you lack/s authority to make CK the game of your dreams during my absence, please ask and it will be granted! Wink

Please also note that DIS is illegal to own in larger quantities than 5 with the exception of system accounts such as NPCCs. I don't think the original intention was to DIS to be sold from NPCCs; those who bought large quantities of DIS may breach the current legal limit of 5 per (non-noble) character, so please take this into account. We can revert such trades if it was an accidental "bargain purchase" in my humble opinion, as NPCCs are an exception being system accounts.


I asked GM about this on IRC and he said there would be no fine for owning more than the previous listed limit.

Also, there is no guarantee that they will be useful in Clans, nor that they will be reimbursed if not useful. And it is certain that they are currently not producing anything. So a speculation of a highest degree. Good that I am impartial as I don't have them myself Wink
