Umm... perhaps you should buy him 2,000 gold to take full advantage of staking and instapromote to Novice?

Promotions in Crypto Kingdom


His Grace, The Bishop has been promoted to Marquess (1510). "David has been Our Majesty's faithful companion for 110 years, from the first year of our reign. Promoting him to Marquess is to show how not only gaining riches (blunt referral to the recent Marquess promotion) are a way to the highest levels - giving the riches away can also work. The Bishop has donated most of his wealth to the Church, which we regard in high esteem."

Lord Rhadamathus has been created Earl (1510). "We are satisfied to see the majestic School for Jungherren right next to the palace of the Earl. Seeing this from our bedroom window reminds us that good works should be rewarded."

Lord Jacket has been created Earl (1514). "Earl Jacket was selected for promotion already but we decided to rush it once we saw that his might has indeed reached if not surpassed that of other Earls, and the operation of a museum with 500 sqm of 5 m high gallery space is not a small undertaking in a city where so many Masters do not get promoted nobles because of their lack of a 100 sqm house."

Paulson, Esq. has been ennobled (1514). "It is very counterproductive to beg for promotion since the rules clearly say that Noble promotions are of the pleasure of His Majesty and not of right. However, when we were browsing the census reports after deciding that one Baron must be created at once, Paulson's credentials were the best of all Masters in the Kingdom. We wish good business fortune for the coming El Bulli restaurant, the second $$$$$ place in town!"

1 @ 80  Rhadamanthus, Earl of (?)
--------------------------------------------
1 @ 80  Rhadamanthus, Earl of (?)   <- current price = 80

While this is surely a good admonition, we must remember that we are talking about a person in the level L2: Stranger.  Non-national non-residents may address Our Majesty with the nick without retaliation, since they are following their own customs and do not know ours.

Attached is some correspondence among the high echelons of the society:

The correct way to refer to the person Karl Hungus by birth, is now The Marquess of OZ.

That's a losing one; you need to bid higher than the lowest bid.

Dear Lord Marquess and Asenath,

We will have to point you to the secondary market, since this IPO (despite its commendable size of 2 billion) was fully subscribed in a few hours.

Secondary market is opening in a few hours.

Also Joseph has been mentioning his marquessly bad game finances. In fact the servants could easily be supported with the current income from being a Marquess alone, it is the overdraft interest that is taking its toll yearly, and the remedy is to deposit more money or sell some ingame possessions. (The reason for the bad overdraft is partly that other Nobles have been selling their Noble Palace shares to the Marquess.)

They will be used automatically, just remember to buy any land from Town sales before 1550!

The Dutch auction land prices are just lowered, pick yours!

Year is now 1504 and will soon turn to 1506.

The votes cast after deadline do not count, and I have scheduled my time such that the results should be out already! Lots of things to do in ~3 short hours before freeze!

EDIT: MY BAD. Had left accidentally one yellow cell when I though they were all green... too many things...  

Roopatra: T_MON is now available for addition of house costs.

Gold Auction ends in 1:30 hours and gold is (for the last time) offered for 0.08 

There is a checksum error in T_MON.

Should not be. Do not EVER leave the sheet without checking that the entries are completed, and the checksum is zero. And correct this one IMMEDIATELY. If you do not know how, ask me.

Obviously at present no other transactions can be made.

Is it built yet? You needs the admin rights activated, supposedly?

His Majesty is quite amused that the Noble Palace is collecting money from the commoners  

There is the Grand Hotel, with rooms of every size from 8 to 126 sqm, most tastefully finished, (suffering from being too big into our small town and the situation is not necessarily getting easier with the N.P.),

THIS is the place where the industrious commoners should direct their attention. Both in inviting their friends, and in buying the shares if they so wish.

Shame on everyone for even considering that commoners be allowed in the Noble Palace. The Royal Charter was originally that even the junior nobles would be excluded as well

Done.

His Majesty is well aware that the land alone is worth more than the whole corporation according to this IPO. However, according to the original agreement, the Noble Palace is a place where even intrigue against His Majesty must be allowed, to have a safety valve for improper feelings. We must reaffirm our decline to participate this great project.

- G12 was recently sold for 120 mil/q, F7 for 125/q, and you can see for yourself that they are not at the center of the map as A1 is.

- Same is happening as with Grand Hotel, which is already trading 55% over IPO price, even after 10% dividends.

- We must hurry with the department of Economics, so that the royal ranting may be moved there, and away from the thread  

Please note that the gold and land auctions (link from the OP) are closing in 1:30 hours.

Unbelievable bargains to be had!

Currently no. I will have a meeting any hour now. The web version is mostly spexed, and will incorporate the basics of the databases, the administrative calculations, plus have the following user functionality:

- Character screen. View characters.
- Lot screen. See facade and stats of buildings.
- Main City Screen. Browse the city and see the map. Click into any space for getting to Lot screen.
- Room(Trollbox) Screen.
