You can place it in game and when the time expires it will be sold into the highest bid.

Glad to see you playing!

Update: Dragon Quest





So far the quest has garnered commitments from Syksy, Moneromooo, and RedErin.
Anyone wishing to join in the fun, and danger, please add your name to our list of intrepid hunters.

I don't make sense? You're the one shilling a shitcoin, but have "XMR the next bitcoin?" as the thread's title. Marketing by comparison doesn't work by comparing your competition to the market leader first. But I'm sure you know that putting SDC in the title is a quick road to Nowheresville ;p

Like bad cryptography, acronyms, can be spun into something they're not by chimerical minds--so take the same skill set you applied to SDC's sloppy handling of ring signatures and apply it to the F in STFU.

After looking around the palace for what to put up for auction, I scratch my head when I sees these--

https://cryptokingdom.me/marketplace/item/CAF-15

Ancient, blessed, elaborate? What's inside?

Picking up a manifest from the containers I read:

Old Dept Store unsold stock

Hmmm, unless there's Dragon Eggs inside,
I'll be happy to let someone else open the mysterious crates.

Auction ends Tuesday 4:00am EST

A Monero cryptographer broke SDC, maybe you should return the favor or STFU.

The king has consulted with wise men and read ancient scrolls concerning the capture of Dragons and learned they are weak against magic, but how much magic and what kind is still uncertain...or even how one may acquire more.

Zenon is most wise and ancient in the practice of the dark arts, but has not been seen for some time, so the King sends messengers out to bring him to the Palace so HMC can consult him on the matter.

Syksy has some magical training, but will it suffice in lowering the Dragon's ferocious temperament and BV? Can Syksy raise his magic enough to combat such primal power?

Raffle Winners!


Congratulations to Tombot, Syksy, Cryptonic and DrC. Your share of 1k in CKG has been awarded, enjoy!

First Items Auctioned to Town Hall

"The Town Hall would like to get: 2 paintings from late 1500-1600s
(ART-18 and 47), 1 old wood table (CAF-14), 100*COH cigars


 
20*JAD, 20*RME



 
10*SW3, 1 old silver cup (SIO-4)


 
1 old document (WRD-5) and in total 6 badges or tokens of copper


 
Unique items are unique, but all the others is carefully considered that the Crown will retain the majority
of its holding. Some tokens, 1 out of 2 was taken. In the consumables and JAD, less than that out of 676
royal items, this is touching 15 of which 5 are unique.
 
The Hall is in the understanding that 25 mil would be a reasonable donation for the lot."

The King thanks the Town Hall for their support and hopes the items find a good home and are a blessing to the community.

To clear up any confusion on opening up the King's vaults, going forward I need to pay myself a salary for the King's full-time work, so all items are available for sale, but this will happen as one or two items every other day or so--if you've had your eye on something special and would like to make an offer, then ask and we can negotiate terms.

My reason for being leery of going full-time as King, was to keep from selling any of it, but the demands of the game are for a full-time King and override my desire to own more than anyone probably should--hope this clears up any confusion.

HMC

--Game's Business:

PJ has been promoted to Earl. This is the very first promotion in the game that HMC has granted. It goes without saying that the game relies heavily on his programming skills, and there would be no agora without his efforts.

"PJ, for your efforts, you are Promoted to Earl, with all the Honors befitting your Station and Rank. Your Service and Dedication are recognized by All--may you wear the Blue of a Great Noble in Pride, but with a light heart. We salute You, Sir."

(Cannon Fire)

--King's Finances:

The King's life has only so many hours in a day. For this reason, it's proposde that a Queen should be sought for the House of Crichton. Her duties would be to act in accordance of the King's duties when the King is away from the Throne--whether these duties can be handled by her gentle hand, or by the King's gruffer-style is for her to decide. The King realizes that with so few women in the Kingdom, that this request will take time to fulfill--so in the meantime, the King must limit his other duties and spend more time managing the Kingdom's business, but as streams go, the King's lands are irrigated with the rash sensibility of farmer in drought, so the King's Vaults are opened and most everything there is made available for sale. This will be an open event and all offers made public with special items being posted here starting Monday--in the meantime, if you wish to make a private bid, please contact me via PM here or on ##cryptokingdom IRC @ hmc_

--New Players,

Are quests of interest? Too complicated? Not thoroughly automated? Too little payout, for too much time? Are there enough interested players? Do we have a working structure as to make quests work within the game rather than depending on IRC to fulfill communication driven game play?

If you are waiting to ask questions, or voice concerns, now is your opportunity--I'll be glad to play advocate in any case, but remember that my hours for the moment are limited by prior commitments. Once these commitments have been reduced, I'll be able to keep In-Game hours.

Also, could creatures add crop bonuses? I'm sure dragon s$%^ makes for great fertilizer for MUS and CAN.

Upcoming...Raffle-4 results (all tickets have been dispersed)

ANOUNCEMENT:




The drawing is unfinished as it was the last testament to a brave, but foolish, artist who wandered
North in search of rare and mystical creatures. We offer this reward for the capture of this dragon
and its return to the Old Duchy. Upon delivery you will receive compensation in the form of 10,000
CKG for living dragon and baronetcies for all those who take part in the capture. The GM will be
posting more details as to where and how one may begin the Quest.

It's always funny when someone damns their cause with their argument and tries to act like it didn't happen. No one in the Blackmarket set is buying your argument, so your left competing with cc companies--which I thought is why you guys dropped the dark from your name, but now you're stuck between that market (which you claim will never exist) and inferior privacy (which the market has judged unwanted), so good luck with an exit strategy--if you even have one--because I'm pretty sure blathering on in pseudo-intelligent speech isn't winning you any more time.

If this is true, Dash can close up shop as that was its CC argument. Thankfully Monero can still have the trillion dollar market of untaxed income.

Love the feedback!

Countryside is different than TOWN, so you can live in the safety of TOWN under the protection of law and order, venture out to the countryside looking for adventure and opportunity, or both  

What are the design plans for chat? Will MODS be enacted to control SPAM output? Will MODS (if enacted) be volunteer or paid rank? With all the COINS being offered, it should prove interesting on how to define and process them...

Can a player make a SHIELD that absorbs HP from lesser players who are unprepared for a DERAGON event--

[

Moon, you must slowly open your golden eye
round and down as Dragons swim by
ancient Orders the wind conjures as Strife
the songs of air--ride down--like knives
who steely claws shine--a red-blood rune
a fall of plenty--a path resumes

So yesterday I asked the most obvious question to a co-worker (20, attractive, female: would she play?), "What would you do in the game?" Her reply surprised me: she wanted to play as a Viking, rain havoc from the skies with her dragon, kill peasants for their gold and run a small contingent of warrior-bandits from her lawless castle--

How was countryside defined: Free-roam, all items available for GIVE and THEFT, KILL resulted in property TRANSFER, Nobles could create BOUNTIES (but they would be held to the same Wild-West Rules), also SEAS were open to these same rules, so pirating became an option. I made sure that she knew that HELP was just a CALL away and MAGIC might be used to gain advantage--i'm assuming she was visualizing actual graphics, but to what degree of development was never specified. Back in the day, Zelda graphics provided enough graphics to entertain general audiences, so that might be a good starting point.

The Counties, in my simplest definition, are Franchise-Kingdoms that let us explore different rules and features. When playing that aspect, my goal was to gain PRE at an efficient pace, see how others used new powers as they were granted, measure whether the payoff could exceed time and investment (effort), mainly it required someone with limited resources being able to compete with larger budgets, the real test for the future is: how much hegemony can a County achieve, can this hegemony break free the game without breaking the game, or do we put controls in place to make this near impossible--which would likely stress the game (bit-monero)....

Economics aren't my strong suit, but will read up and see if I can't learn that aspect. As far as strategy goes, whatever allows for quick adaptability, will have the necessary elements to allow for flanking and out maneuvering. Two tactics were particularly effective against superior Roman shock troops--mounted cavalry and mob attacks while Romans were on march--one requires well-trained forces with capable horses, while the other requires knowledge of terrain, capable strike force, and the element of surprise--think of Counties as agar.io and you'll see simple and effective tactics for quick growth, splits, and re-emergence.

humbly submitted,

  ^ Looks good. A few minor items

Is 100,000,000 ck days figure correct or does ck days not mean game days of 365 per 1 real week?

As far as the board #: 3 would need a total majority, 4 would need 3 of 4, 5 would need 5 of 5, 6 would need 5 of 6, 7 would need 6 out of 7,  8 would need 6 and 9 would need 7 to get to the 75% mark--so my question is "do you want a small board or a big board and can that size be changed later if there is stagnation?" Not that stagnation is bad when things are going well...but more so, when times are tough, is self-preservation going to be a potential drag on the in-game economy?

Will rules/laws governing tax be negotiable if there is a non-reciprocating rise in the value of XMR--in a civil manner ? And if not, are any means made available to manage this potential in the present, or near-term future, within the context of the financial tool-kit. I think you covered this to some degree in IRC yesterday, but with so many ideas being discussed, it's tough for me to remember if this was among them.

Senate is interesting in how it will be arranged. CK (the asset) already seems represented in the Board's makeup, so perhaps a mix of CK and land holdings? People usually fight for land in a way they wont fight for their financial instrumentation--we are essentially running a VR world with VR land as its main feature, so it only follows that how people rate their VR lives would be similar to how they rate them in the real world. People should always have a piece of earth to call their own and be able to count that as a blessing for themselves, but also for their heirs--who should inherit the game with a personal stake in its growth and continued development. To add to this, the building features should invite a level of personalization that carries with it a sense of community and status.

To Gamers (starting at PRE, is also for CEO's consideration, as well as being a discussion topic for Gamers):

The rules and laws look very well thought out and should allow for some interesting game-play. It's easily the most complete (and complex) strategy game I've come across and provides different levels of game play that match personal style with the ruthless efficiency of the modern corporation--time management and risk analysis make the game modern, feature rich and slightly addictive. Your level of play and commitment are up to you, the PRE game is where I started, it requires you manage a county's finances, it's armies, and its politics--you decide if you will be kind or merciless, aggressive or passive, fool-hearty or shrewd, and through those choices, and making it work economically, you acquire PRE. PRE determine your freedoms to rule, the more PRE you have the more Liberty you are granted in determining how your county should be ruled. I'd like to rearrange this so it's more automated, depends less on time intensive RPG tasks, has an element of real-time-battle-simulation, and gives the right of ownership to the counties leadership to sell or trade as they see fit--of course a negotiation program could alter each arrangement to better suit the demands of the real world...

We're hammering out the game features and governance at the moment, so the main features are out of play, but the market is functioning. Though without knowing how items specifically function, it would be difficult to price them effectively. Do you want me to send you a PM when the game is fully functional?
