New Player Housing

The time has come for the Church to help provide affordable housing to the masses. As part of our mission to help those in need and care for the homeless, we have built a large number of very tidy houses in 4-NW, in the Church borough. These are all within walking distance to a 400+ sqm public park, and have a decent size garden on the property. Each 10m by 10m lot contains a house with terrace, and is being sold at cost!

These houses are reserved for those that are new to the game, and there is a limit of 2 properties per player. If you are a character that is level 3 or below, you are allowed to purchase these homes. Anyone at higher levels has the means available to buy a more suited property.

6m moneritos is all you need to start your life in borough 4.  At the time of this writing, all of the houses in yellow are for sale. See the below image:



To purchase, contact any admin via IRC (##cryptokingdom on freenode) or PM on BCT, and say that you'd like to buy a new player church house.

It pleases me to announce that the church has finally opened the long-awaited brewery in 4-NW! Please come by for a tour and try some of our excellent brews!

The Foreign Investor #1 (the original investor) has notified The Bishop and myself that he would like to put his land in borough 1 up for auction. The land code is 1-E-E3. It's a 4q parcel that is directly across from the King's land, and very close to the Hypothecary Bank and the Grand Hotel Annex, as well as next door to the Hokusai House, Art Studio.

This is a chance to get a premium piece of land only 100 meters from the Obelisk, and 25m from the Grand Hotel!  He is interested in selling the land in the auction format, with bids starting at 600m. The auction will end 24 hours from this posting. It has been said that if the land sale price reaches 700M, The Bishop himself shall come and bless the land so that all future goings-on shall be fruitful.

It is never too late to seek the comfort of Our Lord. Your donation has been noted and appreciated.

The Church is very pleased and taken aback at the surge of faith that has enveloped the Kingdom in this potentially dark time.  All who have donated shall receive the blessings of The Lord. "Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, said the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."

"And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God.  Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out."

Deuteronomy 28:1-6


"But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you. Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field. Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Cursed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out."

Deuteronomy 28:15-20

The loss of The Late Most Ancient Marquess of Arda weighs heavy on the hearts of all. Please, bow your heads in silence.

“Almighty Father, eternal God, hear our prayers for Your son The Marquess of Arda whom You have called from this life to Yourself. Grant him light, happiness, and peace. Let him pass in safety through the gates of death, and live forever with all Your saints in the light You promised to Abraham and to all his descendants in faith. Guard him from all harm and on that great day of resurrection and reward raise him up with all Your saints. Pardon his/her sins and give him eternal life in Your kingdom. We ask this blessing through Christ our Lord. Amen.”

-The Bishop

The Church hereby blesses The Marquess as well as all of the possessions in his Estate. Furthermore, His Majesty, The King shall be blessed for finding The Marquess before it was too late to secure his entry through the gates of Heaven. May he rest in peace.

It has also been rumored that The Marquess had vital information about the infamous theft of the bank coins. His whereabouts have been unknown since roughly the time of the bank coin heist. Whether his death was of natural causes or otherwise is still being investigated…

The magnificant San Pietro construction is taking place, a very exciting time. However, it was close to 2B over budget. To close our current financial deficit, the church is selling off 4600 gold at 514,000 (10k below midprice). Please reply if you are interested. Your purchase not only gives you CKG to speculate with once our friends in Polonous respond to us, but also helps The Church. Christo et Ecclesiae!

Hello my good men. I am Archeadon Callixtus, Right Hand of The Church and its financial manager. You may remember me for my work taking over the Prioré Hotel management in 1506. After significant talks with The Church and The Bishop, the time has come to expand the reach of The Church. As such, It is my goal to make sure the goals of The Church are realized as soon as possible to spread the good word.

There are a number of Ecclesiastical Orders that will become more advanced to better fit the original vision of The Church. They include the following:

The Pious Order of the Supplicants
The Fellowship of Benedict
The Knights of the Temple
The Poor Company of Theophany
Another order whose name and function will be announced later

These Orders will be expanded and grow in power soon after 1600 and suitable buildings will be procured or commissioned to house the various Orders so they might better please The Lord.

The Church will be expanding the horizons of the Kingdom by utilizing the strenth of The Knights of the Temple to escort foreign expeditions (be it the Church-owned Company of Theophany or external clients, securing boats against pirates...), or securing far away settlements.  These services will be available soon to citizens and Royalty alike.

In order for these expeditions to occur, there must be many things created in preparation, such as boats and other necessary expedition items. The Templars will make available a number of boats that are available for rental, crew-inclusive. This will be known as the "Safe Trip package" and will include a ship, sailors, and protection services fur the duration of the voyage.

There is also a need to help out the newest citizens of Crypto Kingdom. It is the goal of The Church to help out newcomers by either providing cheap rent (social housing) or free rent and they would work as a friar.  This will create an affordable option for those new players who want to find solace with The Lord (who doesn't require a pledge of material possessions, but rather a pledge of faith).

It is a grand time to be in Crypto Kingdom, and I wish you all good fortune and long life! God Bless.
