I saw https://deposit.cryptokingdomgold.com/ on the billboard. It said it is for new players so I though cool. I get great by a screen with no info just a tx number and place for my username. I enter my username and press submit. Now what ? What has this done ? Hopefully will give me shares.

Also can someone please help explain to me this "eating event" what do I get fpr doing it and what must I buy and how do I eat it ?


Depositing gives you an M balance which can be used to buy shares of CK here: https://cryptokingdom.me/marketplace/favoriteItems (CK is 7,888 at the moment)

As for the eating event, AFAIK GM will have some more details on that shortly. So patience is rewarded Smiley

Someone pls make a post with relevant quotes to the rather extensive elaboration that I was making about this in May-June before the pause, because with surprisingly few material changes, all is still in force.

And I will reply concerning what is not.

Is anyone interested in the opportunity of a consume challenge? A one-time opportunity to boost your health_remaining by consuming stuff?

(We have had them before and are even now paused with the NPCC that also is one. The issue from admin standpoint is that production is impossible to match with consumption without adequate ongoing resources, which do not exist.)

Yes Smiley

I have noticed my character has aged one year as the game is now unpaused. But why have I not really coeved my weekly dividents ? Also now I must buy more divendent items once the price will be low now and go up later right ?

Time is unpaused, but AFAIK the only function that will take place is negative balance interest--so no worries unless you have a negative balance. Health challenge won't effect you unless you want to do the Bonus HC game in the above post, but that won't have a negative impact on your stats, just give you an opportunity to buff the stat as we move towards the Clans expansion.

Hi, all!
I have Well-tended vegetable garden (Tradable) and Equipment for making Mead (Tradable, Commoners only) but there is no producing in my account.. What the reason?
TY for unswer!

Hi proride,

At the moment, consumption and consumable creation is off until we figure out how to keep the economy running while the GM is busy with MK implementation. I realize it's kind of a tease to not have item creation, but we are still beta and working out the kinks is part of the process. Hopefully, the early birds will be rewarded for their insight and patience as we work towards getting the economy in full swing again.

But, command "health" gives
You may still eat 195 units, drink 150 units and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

Well, it has been a really long year...

No, previous week was 0 0 0!


Per Wizard-Dev PJ, "Health challenge statistic is related to each year, but that [will] not effect players current health status. So, it's currently off"

EVENT continued: part 2 of Admin Game

...The Captain leaves.

Martti notices strange music coming from a pair of leathers ears on the table. He quickly grabs them, looks them over, "Sohn ee."

He translates it as "Put, on me" https://soundcloud.com/mastersofhardcore/official-masters-of-hardcore-podcast-by-angerfist-077

--On 5:38 he skips to the year.

here, let me help you....

https://soundcloud.com/fadermedia/fader-mix-endgame

The ground shifts as Martti is grabbed by the collar "Who the fuck is Dr. D.C. Barker!"

"I am--W-w-where?" Martti catches himself.

The Captain laughs, "You're just now asking that? Kid, you've got to learn about the universe. Dorothy lost her slippers and the Tin-Man looks like Oz. What's really gonna blow your mind is how you didn't notice the lights never flicker and when the ground shifts the table's locked to the ground, and you ain't ever heard music like that before -- so when I tell you won't remember a word of this unless a song triggers it and you wake and realize there's a scar on your back -- it's gonna be DejaVu all over again. Now that you're all caught up. Who is Dr. D.C. Barker?"

Martti tries to remember. But is slapped back to the moment by a blasting sound -- ground shimmying hard left. He grabs the table for support.
Here hears a grunt from outside the door.

The Captain yells out, "I know, I know, but he doesn't-- o we'll have to come back." The guttural yelp from the door seems to agree and the captain closes the laptop. "Sorry, about this."

Martti sees a bright flash, then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5mnqxwErTk MIN: 04:00

I am sorry but I have to disagree with most of what you said about those 3 people. For Fluffypony and the Monero project, yes they have been doing good with RingCT but I was disappointed when the exit scam occured at the Oasis dark market. If some of the XMR people were involved, we may never know, but there are warning bells ringing nevertheless.


^This is an irrational statement.

Why?

Because the POINT of a privacy coin is to keep dark markets dark, whichever one does this the best is the one you want, so you really missed the boat on why this is being done in the first place. The warning bell was when BTCe said "...take your Evolution loot somewhere else." Tongue

1551  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Kingdom - 1991 Retro Virtual World(City) on: November 15, 2016, 03:43:17 AM
So out of story-mode and into rational effects of introducing a Dragon into the game (ignore if you don't want to break character, and click on the link above for some portal magic).

Dragon acts as a pathway to an ADMIN  development chain, which can be expressed as: 100PRE = COUNTY (county for me would have been initial startup costs + dividends - taxes +/- market action) + QUEST (BOUNTY + ADMIN FEE + RESEARCH FEE) and any losses or gains accrued during quest--though with sufficient bounty and marketing interest, you can forgo sending your own NPC or ADMIN candidates.  Dragon will produce CLI that can be used as a ADMIN promotion point or just sell them to those who want to promote their own ADMIN--though likely there will be bottlenecks where further info is preferred (similar to leveling in the current game as outlined in the constitution).

And yes, you will be able to fight Dragons in game through battles or duels Wink The cards figure heavily into this aspect as they create the stats that are used in Battle mode (similar to punch cards).

tldr: Dragon creates CLI which is used to calculate ADMIN privileges (this was the simplest module I could think of, so UFO will be the test-run).
1552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Kingdom - 1991 Retro Virtual World(City) on: November 14, 2016, 01:10:32 PM
Event

The Adventurers march their prize to the gates of OldDuchy, and though tired from their journey, they are on edge: soldiers run about, commanders bark out orders--our adventurers can see that something has changed and it isn't that a Dragon has entered the gates. Mooo hands over the amulet to the King, who grips it in his hand and hands to his most trusted General, "We only have a few minutes, get him to the staging area. The General leads the Dragon towards a large structure that has an open roof and large open gates -- soldiers and cavalry nervously watch the sky.

King to Adventurers, "These men will take you to be debriefed on all that happened in the portal world. You will be rewarded shortly, but we need to get you out of here--"

There is a strange clicking from the Dragon followed by flash in the sky--everyone stops.

Soldiers grab the adventures by the arms and hurry them towards a garrison building on the other side of the grounds--the adventurers try to see what is happening behind them, but are led into a garrison building with windowless rooms.

A Captain assures them that everything will be fine and they are hurried into separate rooms...

....Continued:

The Captain walks into the interrogation room with a glass of water.

"Here drink this."

Martti quickly downs the glass, the rooms hot and sticky with sweat. In the future this will be eye-grabs on your way to work--imagine getting locked in an elevator door on seventh floor to heaven and having the wires get crossed with a drone on its way to nearest asteroid belt to become part of the self-sustaining expansion of our galaxy. I look in Martti's eyes and sea the drug's swimming effect. D.C. Barker told us that the xenotation device swam to the base of the brainstem and sent and impulse that blocked the capacity to lie--he also had skin that sometimes turned goo and made direct contact (if you want to call it that) with some alien firmware.

"When you said you didn't feel like yourself, what did you mean?" I look down and see the great uptick in the impulse-meter on the evade scale --the question bothers him...

"It's complicated,"

The drug shifts gears and starts pleasuring the areas of the brain that encourage truth-telling, but the base of the brain is all singals--tick-tock, tick-tock, tock, tock...

Matti shifts forward in his seat, "It's not that I know anything has changed, but I know something is about to change, and that feeling doesn't feel like me -- it all started with the Dragon....

He was about to trail off into the same stories as the others, so just get to the point, "Martti -- Martti stop, did you see any weird symbols down there?"

Martti looks confused, "The one was sitting on a pyramid, I think, it was pretty dark down there--"

"Symbols like this, did you see anything?" I hand him a sheet of a-code.

(()) () ((())) ((())) (((()))) () ((())) (((((((()))))))))))....

The computer screen goes blank. Fuck.

"Martti, we'll get you out of here in no time--just hang on a second." I go to leave the room, but--

"The skull could talk in clicks -- Zenon's friends! See! I found you something!" This jizz fest would go on until the subject lost the calories needed to create electric impulses to feed the implants--so I just turned them off and rebooted. If you clear the command, you clear the axiomatic linkage...but that's for another time.

"Martti, can remember the clicks he used?" A long shot, but  you have to ask--

"Sure I remember -- they reminded me of crow caws, so I managed to put them to a music, so I could remember them, they were actually inter--"

I wave my hands, "Jus--Just say them--" I grab my tablet as he starts going over an imaginary bar of music in his head. I copy them down and get Ccru...?

Just on a hunch I click search:

So ZCash Classic is a fork of ZCash. But why the heck has it been called that way ? Ethereum Classic could be called that way because it was the original version of Ethereum, it's classic version. Frankly, I see no reason here except a lack of imagination or the will to have an ETC effect and being pumped, mined, and making ZCash easier to mine for them to have more ZEC.

Your last sentence is very true. Judging by the very nature of the cryptosphere, any developer who has the skills and the motivation are here to make bitcoins by creating hype around a project. This brings me to a question. If most of the "altcoiners" really are intending to sell their scam coin and tokens for bitcoins, then are those "altcoiners" really bitcoiners right from the start?

If that is really the situation then being an altcoiner is really an illusion and the people supporting them are scamming themselves into thinking that they have a future.

Speaking as a developer of a vaporware altcoin, I think that is mostly the case, although I do think there are a few cases of developers who genuinely thought they could maybe do something as important as Bitcoin:

Dan Larimer
@fluffypony
Vitalik Buterin

These guys have lead a lot of innovation. However others might argue they are just raking in BTC and enjoying themselves farting around with hair-brained ideas which won't pan out to anything significant. I hope to be in their league but with a clearly not hair-brained design and concept. And in that way, I hope to do something challenging or better Bitcoin. But you shouldn't trust my words. Always look to the actions and results. Of the three above, I suppose @fluffypony is in the lead in terms of solidifying results, although Vitalik I think has had the biggest ideas/concepts impact with Dan a close second.

There are other examples which are less prominent. For example, since the developer of Byteballs is not selling any ICO and is awarding the tokens to anyone who can sign from a BTC address, then I think his intentions are very sincere (although I don't expect him to achieve anything near Bitcoin's scale).

I'd agree that Fluffypony is in the lead (plus all the other Monero Devs who are working on the project https://github.com/monero-project/monero/graphs/contributors), since this is just coins, I'll leave our project out Tongue Though that includes some of the XMR crew--along with member(s) of MK's crew.

Early Warning Reports

The guide seems anxious to get under way and has planned an interesting route, but the descent, has the King troubled. The mobilization of such a small force, with reports of dark forces on the prowl, makes him think the wolf is now prey.

He consults his Mystic who says, "Our fires are North, blue-gray, and glisten with the black fires ash, and any lessons learned there, do not take the same shape twice. Mystery breathes through gusty winds and tops off a mountain at its cap--a crown no less a jewel than a bauble spinning on--we compose less..."

Now Generals,

The Mystic bounds energy of test--resets, time, and you, if you are wise, will find a Gray Dragon, capable enough, and keep himself wise and fierce, and properly an ancient order, between air-Land -- proceed.



hmc_

...the Generals leave the room (well, except one). The generals are fine, but the troops? One of them ate his shirt the other day. The madness of this place brings it's own reward in victory and defeat. Sure, you've mastered this gift, but why? I did not ask for this -- or did I --in some forgotten dream like a primal Cthulhu raised from the tempest dreams of myth, then hidden by necessity -- to survive. Hamlet said, "to be in a nut shell and count yourself a king of infinite space..." Was he the Joker or Batman? Did either survive the killing fields of Sparta? We were weighed at birth, picked over, the Men would choose on how well we could fight, or lead, or lend the story to music or spearhead senate and state--between war and peace, there must be an economy to feed the troops, a place to settle (a dispute, or home), an Ally who we defend in times of trouble, but lets each borough flourish untouched.

I can hear my Father, "Rebuff your shield, there's no fear in Sparta."

Strange days in the Kingdom

If we are Noble, we are soldiers, we have seen footprints of men's destinies disappear but for in the legend they are told, Dragons are the living standard of Your Houses and should be met as a wise ally and fierce foe. Our magic is gray, but our lords are not, it is the Dragon that keeps guard your stockpiles, and his wings are free to carry him to where he is needed, but in the battle, a dragon seizes the idea and abides the will of his Land. We are forsaken travelers guiding a founding light, to set the world right.

a guy who pretends that he can play doctor and diagnosis his own illness via internet research and pseudo-cure dietician practices (get some lab work done, before you misinterpret your temporary states)

WTF do you think I am headed to an expert research hospital in Singapore in January to do dufus?

And not having sufficient funds to do it before is valid reason. We cope with what we can afford to do. And I did get lab tests and ultrasound early this year and it was diagnosed as NAFLD. And I have read medical journals stating that SIBO is correlated with NAFLD and possible causes of SIBO include "blind loop", which is quite plausible given my abdominal organs bathed in stomach acid for 3 days in ER/ICU in May 2012 due to a perforated ulcer.

rpietila doesn't have that excuse (lack of funding).

The rest of your post was also a giant inkblot so doesn't deserve my response.

Amazing you didn't get the point that I am trying to help Risto. And I amazing that in your overzealous desire to defend Crypto Kingdom (which wasn't even what the post is about), you ignored where I admitted my own failures to be in touch with reality.

You're helping him by posting on a thread that posts him a negative light--sure, sure you are. I'm just getting your BS on the table too.

rpietila wrote a message about his relatives (including his father and wife) thought he was crazy for talking about the Finish system being out to get him and the death threats he had received. And were advising him to go get some mental evaluation. He escaped to his castle in Estonia to reflect. He asked publicly what he should do and I responded as follows.

Risto, I presume it is okay if I offer my thoughts publicly since you've asked publicly.

It appears to me that regardless of the veracity of the clandestine, surreptitious threats you claim, and despite the fact that your relatives may be unwilling to acknowledge such veracity and thus willing to make life worse by committing you to mental institutions which may make everything worse for you, that there is some element of truth to the claim that you are mentally unstable. I am speaking from first hand experience of what being mentally unstable entails.

First of all, a sane person would assess his situation and take responsibility for the predicament he is, rather than blaming it on the system. Employing the Bible and visualizing yourself as a righteous martyr is the beginning of insanity because it then enables one absolve to themselves of responsibility for their demise due to their own actions.

Why are you wasting your life in activism in a morass in the first place? Even Jesus explained that he expended his time with the prostitutes because that is where the low hanging fruit was for saving souls. If the Europeans are happy with their devolution then why are you trying to ram your idealism down their throats.

I noticed my problems got worse from 2006 onwards when I "embraced" the Bible. I realize now it was an excuse to blame my predicament on circumstances rather than looking at decisions I could have made which would have made those circumstances less likely to come about.

It seems to me that you've lost your purpose. You are wandering aimlessly with the only purpose being to fight against everyone and then wallow in your devolution because of that decision.

Grab yourself by your bootstraps and entirely reorder your thought process back towards sanity. This is not easy to do. For me it has involved grueling exercise and getting off the damn computer and get out into the real life. You and I are different in that I originally am a very simple person from the south of the USA who is content with sweating in the hot New Orleans summers. Very much into athletics. I don't smoke cigars, dream of being a royal blood with a King Arthur's court. You seem to have something in your childhood or culture that drives you towards the predicament you are in.

You are a good person. You want good things for humanity. Yet the way you visualize making it happen appears to me to be delusional.

I am just being frank because I am hoping for the best for you, so perhaps the best I can do is be frank. I may be ignorant of some of the issues in your life and thus I may not have the correct understanding of your situation.


I would suggest you stop isolating yourself in a castle in Estonia. I would suggest you stop doing these bizarre activities. That doesn't mean I think you should necessarily conform to what those in Finland want you to do. They may also be in a slow motion devolution and not realize it. I am just hoping you can find your sanity and be social. But if you keep surrounding yourself with people who reinforce your delusions, then you will likely continue to devolve.

You should be able to interface with a wide diversity of people, not just those who want to name themselves some silly goat name for a gaming culture in the genre of King Arthur's court.

Real life man. Get back in touch with it. It is not in some isolated castle in Estonia.

Dude, I don't know why you keep going after the game, but it has as much to do with king author's court as the Denver Airport has to with a Rothschild's conspiracy--not sure where you get off telling anyone to deal with reality--a guy who pretends that he can play doctor and diagnosis his own illness via internet research and pseudo-cure dietician practices (get some lab work done, before you misinterpret your temporary states), but I guarantee you, no one who plays the game thinks that it is real--sure you may tie anything done on a computer with real world outcomes, but that's no different than going to Poloniex or a gambling site--the fact that the market dictates outgoing values in m is the same as any other virtual symbolic value--it's only real if you believe it's real--everyone has this negative capability as Keats called it, and the ability/curse to misread it as Harold Bloom pointed out many times over--I wish you would tend to your own garden (of future work never to be attempted--your record's skipping) or stop throwing rocks at other people's houses and imagining anything virtual will give you the satisfaction of breaking a real window, in a real house--though the Philippines recent drug craze killings makes me want to spend more time at my computer and less time in front of real windows.
1560  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Kingdom - 1991 Retro Virtual World(City) on: November 06, 2016, 09:02:25 AM

Yes my house is very important to me, I was worried. Maybe it burnt down ? xP I'm not so worried about how long thongs take I just wanted to make sure I have a house ^^ So I will get a new build one in borough one. That lot at b4 is it just the land ? A borough one house is better so I will take that. Monero I paid must stay in the game it is better. Oh what suit must I pick ? What do they do ? Also thank you for letting me stay with you and getting me a new house. Smiley

Borough Four seems a contradiction, on one hand you have the church with low price beer and a helpful hand, then you have impassable areas mired in the haze of dark forces and undrinkable water. While it may seem good to live near friars bearing beer, you will,  if you are industrious have to reinvest, and rebuild over time, to increase land values--though I think the Church could do wonders in developing the land as they go, and reinvesting the good will of the faithful, build abbots and churches that can redistribute their industrious grace throughout the kingdom and make marvels to rival any Rome. The great towns of old managed to spread their wealth through aqueducts that spired with the great minds of Medici and Borgias alike. ATM the church isn't active, so those areas are high/risk/reward and should be dealt with as mid-level hand knowing that there is no guarantees in the land game, especially in Borough Four. What I can say, for certain, is that insurance would be a small premium for larger hand in most boroughs.

Given the deal, the house in B1 is the better play long term, and if you can afford to buy there (or find the king in a generous mood), you'll see a better return at a faster rate, but the house in B4 is a good play if you are given the house and can grind out improvements, overtime you should be able to buy a second or third home and become a landlord.

I started in Borough One with an apartment building, and while the pricing was a bit high, I did manage to get a few introductions and more propositions for land deals along with other consumables, this is more of a entrepreneurial gameplay than anything, but you'll need the right suit, eat the right foods, and back-in-the-day, even learn to design your own houses, the RPG game figures in here as you get to see people's true colors in the heat of battle or the stress of markets, so in any phase of the game, swords and strategy come into play.

Here's the suits that I linked earlier--and quick description of their value in the game:

Red Suit: Tend to last longer, but you pay for that and the fact that you are now in the merchant class, which means when there are business topics and economic issues at the table, you are a player.

White Suit: Believe they have a decent shelf life, but not certain. This is more a learned class. Academics and knowledge, perhaps some magic on the side. If your aim is to be a physician or a future wizard, the white suit would be a good choice.

Orange Suit: This one is pricey and I don't understand it. I have yet to play with anyone who has worn it, so if you are trailblazer, or a pirate, or I don't know...this may be your suit.

Green Suit: This is where I started my game, I think.... The DB doesn't go back past that far, (I am 81, and now 250, and healthier by the advent of King Corp) so my memory and the DB forget. As I remember, the price was reasonable and you didn't really have to set yourself down for a particular path and it gave you enough clout to gain introductions, without the burden of being obliged to favor a particular class--went from a red suit from there to a blue suit--you can't get anywhere in the upper levels without a blue suit--though with policy changes, and leadership changes, and the always expanding board, you may get there by other ways that have yet to be tested, and with clans expansion, you should see warfare taking on new dimensions that will influence the game in surprising and shocking ways--this is the unknown territories that the GM has yet to define, but has often hinted at--and each particular detail expands into a battle forged state.

The other two suits listed, brown and gray, are for manual, light-warfare, and servant classes--you should receive one of these at the start, and once you decide you don't want to be an NPC for the rest of your life, you'll work up to buying one of the other suits. Or not, I kind of admire someone who is willing to play out the hand that's dealt them, and I'm sure there are a few who will enjoy the survival game. Technically, we all start here, and "stranger" is level 0 or 1 IIRC.

Purple Suit: this one finds you, and you can only get another after your first. Tongue

...there are other suits, but those are either historical or for special occasions or both.

TLDR: Zarth is given this house and lot in B1 (https://cryptokingdom.me/land/lot/details/169) and may pick any color suit (except Blue or Purple as they are level initiated) from this list of suits owned by the Crown Corp: https://cryptokingdom.me/player/playerItems/1/WOS, his lot in B4 is free for him to develop as he sees fit.

My advice, and this is free, is to make friends now, establish your house and learn more about the gameplay--this isn't your typical D&D knock-off stuck in a 90's style sandbox--you're gonna have to learn to live all over again, rethink your strategy and make due with the resources available. This is a game that demands that you learn CLI and have the where-with-all to survive earthquakes, droughts, and if you go off world, worse, much worse and more--I'm talking black boxes of unknown hoards waiting to steal your army and make you pay a ransom for your return (this happened: the two current kings had to help him pay the ransom--they wanted silver BTW).
