Re: Crypto Kingdom - 1991 Retro Virtual World(Town)

[rpietila]

Long term suggestion would be some kind of in-game crowdfunding (or economy) for new building new content, which would make the game self-sustaining and unlimited in scope.

The "building" typically consists only of "rooms" with similar functionality but different wallpaper. If the interface to make them consist of "anything" is easy enough, then there will spontaneously rise a class of Engineers (which is even mentioned in the intro). They are developers capable of plugging in the new stuff to people's houses and other places.

Crowdfunding and competition between guilds who has the biggest guildhouse with best goods is definitely part of the game!

So yes, great minds think alike

As as was telling you in Poloniex chat, if you need any beta testers let me know.

Our schedule is first to sell the initial stash of gold to willing buyers to 1)start the technical development and 2)gain the first userbase.

Then lock in the town map and zone the areas for public buildings, private houses, agora and King's castle, publish it.

Then auction out the plots that may be used for private houses. The currency to be used at this point is Gold, since no millies exist yet. Boys are busy coding the game meanwhile.

Make a static website that shows the current state of our town, with (hopefully) lots of preparation going on.

Now the Player mgmt system is ready, and all user data will be transferred to it from the various excelsheets.

"Room" functionality with trollbox and some command line tricks will be tried with the whole of the userbase at first.

"Facade" page and "Room" page layouts are finished and owners of land can design (or let design) their houses if they want to build them and other wallpapers (alpacas grazing eating boolberries from bushes) if they want to keep the land for speculation.

Deposit XMR/BTC is implemented and tested, so that the players can load their accounts with money.

The construction of a house is priced simply such that the maximum square meters one can build in one plot is 2,000sqm (requires a 6-storey building with no yard), although it is ok to build anything smaller. This is multiplied by the prestige of the building (millies/sqm) that does not have any limits. When the game starts, part of the construction costs are doled out to low-level players as windfall "rush job wages" encouraging rapid adoption of the game at that point.

All components of the basic game engine are in place.

Finishing: some storytelling aspects are added, bugs fixed, wallpapers added to every facade and room, data checked.

L A U N C H

Development continues...







The original OP is preserved here:

Crypto Kingdom


Gameworld

Crypto Kingdom is a virtual world that uses Monero(XMR) as money. The "main screen" is a map of square plots with a similar look to the main map of Civilization 1 from 1991. The whole game is a tongue-in-cheek retro style with pixelated graphics and music of the era. By clicking to one of the several buildings or attractions, the player first arrived to a pixel-art "building facade view", and then gets to "rooms" where he can perform actions.

The main action in each room is Trollbox, where players can chat, tip money, drink various beverages, give reputation, play simple games etc. Some of the rooms have special features such as dice games, links to information resources or news, advertisements, faucets, businesses. Some are private houses of wealthy citizens, meeting places of guilds, and the King's castle is there also. The facade view and room view wallpapers are different for each house and room. New features will constantly be added with the focus on playability, not on graphics. Owners of buildings can also add functional features to their buildings, even make them income generating. Only rich people will own houses, it is also possible to rent, and even that is not a requirement. Markets are free and not regulated.

The land is a limited resource, giving rise to real estate speculation. The most prestigious lots may be valued very high in the initial auction and the aftermarket. New land will be claimed for the town according to the Town Council's decisions, zoned and auctioned, when it seems profitable to do it. There is an absolute cost that the game must pay to the Monero development donation address for each metre of new city wall constructed. This sets the minimum value for new land before it can be claimed.

Economy

The ingame currency is millies (0.001 XMR), and it's possible to play with only ingame faucets and giveaways, but to get something real going, the account needs to be funded. This is possible with BTC and XMR. Due to legal reasons, winnings cannot be paid out, but the town is full of people that can exchange ingame value for real life value, just as in other similar games such as EVE Online, and p2p exchange is the way to go and part of the thrill of the gameplay.

In addition to millies, there is a known quantity of Gold, partly even the owners are known. Gold represents the votepower and "ownership" of the Town Council, the game world, the "company" itself. When the Town Council runs a surplus (by zoning land, for example), the excess millies are distributed to the Gold owners as ingame dividends. Gold/millies market exists. New gold comes to the game constantly, diluting the ownership of the previous owners. This amount of new gold is tied to the total amount of time the players collectively play the game, and is randomly awarded to the players one coin at a time. Each hour played generates $0.xx worth of Gold. With 1,000 Gold, the player is eligible to take a seat in the Town Council and decide over matters of the gameworld. With 10,000 Gold, the King has no choice but to raise the player to Baronhood.

Character

Players have a character that, after the introductory levels, can take one of 5 career paths - Servants of the King (moderators and such), Engineers (game developers, also get a cut of ingame construction), Merchants (businessmen and people who want to pay to play), Scholars (wise people having an academic profession, and knowers of Bitcoin and Monero) and Artesans (handy townspeople who spend the time in taverns and earn when there is building going on in town). Each path has several levels with increasing perks and prestige.

The most advanced players in each path may be promoted to Nobility, again of different levels. Nobility owns large palaces in the most prestigious areas, and huge stashes of Gold. They may converse with the King, and when visiting drinkhouses, they always drink wine, which is 10 times more expensive than beer, and gives the tavernkeeper a good income. Or just entertain each other in their palaces and plan new businesses for Cryptocurrency's advancement.

Although there is no avatar, the profile page of a player can be accessed by clicking his name in the chat. That lists the picture, whatever the person wants to say, and his achievements in numeral lists, Badges, Medals, Honors, and Orders. The game has numerous ways to keep track of achievement, so each player may decide to excel in something, even if he lacks the resources to attain the cream of the society.

To Whom And Why

The game is directly playable in a browser and no questions are asked, also no deposit needs to be made. It can be started with never putting money in, and in fact 90% of the players are expected to do so, working from rags to... middle class, at least. 1% of the remaining 10% is expected to pay 90% of all income to the game. They also get promoted to the highest powers.

The game is developed especially to be a way to increase popular (small holder) interest towards Monero, but it will include many bonuses for MEW members joining. The ways how Monero (and any cryptocurrency whose holders gain presence in the game) can be promoted to the players are very many: information, chat, games, forum links, ways to invite other people in the game and give them a starting stash are just some.

Schedule

Estimate for a playable version consisting of basic functionality of Main map, Player mgmt, Funding the Acct, Wallpapers, Trollbox = 3 weeks from the start of coding. Estimate comes from the developer team.

Call To Crowdfunding Action

No companies or anything will be established, this is a virtual world, with account funded only by cryptocurrencies, and no official cashout possible. The initial quantity of Gold in the game is 1,000,000 Gold, and the amount will grow only very slowly until the game has thousands of players. As King, I will retain half of the gold, and half (500,000 Gold) will be sold to finance the development. The proceeds go to Town Council, which is owned in proportion to ownership of Gold. If - what is very much possible - the whole sum is not needed until the game turns profitable, it will be distributed as dividends, such as all profits.

Price of 1 Gold is 0.1 XMR, and the minimum quantity that can be purchased is 1,000 Gold = 100 XMR. Smaller quantities can be purchased ingame. This works out as 50,000 XMR crowdfunding round and 100,000 XMR valuation for the whole game.

If you are interested in crowdfunding-like exchanging totally immaterial and virtual and ridiculous and valueless XMR crypto"currency" (ever since 2014-4-18, almost half a year!) to totally immaterial and virtual and ridiculous and valueless Kingdom game ingame "Gold" (ever since next week) at a conversion rate above, indicate your interest below. (10,000 Gold gets you into Nobility as a Baron, more for higher.) Gold is sold while supplies last, and IF it is sold out fast, I will try to distribute it wider by cutting the subscriptions, but price will not be raised. If it sells a little only, so that I need to cut the price, the discount applies to all. Every right to do whatever else is retained as well.

I am happy to answer any questions!


Disclaimer

No actual money will ever be involved in this game in any form, so we totally disclaim any responsibility to even care what anyone might wish to require concerning the use of money, anywhere. This is a totally voluntary, NO MONEY INVOLVED, venture. If you feel the XMR or BTC you fund your account have any value, DON*T DO IT. If you feel you have no right or qualification to play this game, DON*T.

[rpietila]

This sounded interesting until "I, as the king"..
By putting yourself in this position I think that you hurt Monero more than you help.
I believe many people don't want to touch Monero because of your vocal involvement, and this will only aggravate the problem.

LOL, everyone knows the lower classes have all the fun and freedom.
The King has to stay pompous and above it all, while the peasants get to boogie out.
It isn't like they actually have to work or anything.
Because...
Its a game, its only a game, don't make it seem like it is something serious enough to get upset about.
Save the emotions for real things.

The king deleted my comment, the king don't like criticism..

Definitely not. If the intention is to criticize the King, you better pick another virtual town to live in, preferably before you get too much EXP, cause you lose it all by criticising the King in the wrong place 

[rpietila]

Seriously, if it's a game, have some rules on how anyone can become a king based on game merit

Only one King can reign at a time, otherwise it would not count...

...but anything can happen. 

And below King there are Dukes, Marquess, Earls and Barons. And Magnates, Professors, Knights, Master Artesans and Master Engineers. People have badges, medals, honors and orders. Everyone can make their own badge and award it as little or as much as they like. And do it in 5 classes: bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond.

For example "Social" badge is awarded from the total lines of chat written in the various trollboxes:
- bronze for 10 lines
- silver for 100 lines
- gold for 1,000 lines
- platinum for 10,000 lines
- diamond for 100,000 lines.

Experience is gained from the game, doing things. Hardly even the King has as much experience than the best players. And ranks lower in the ranking.

These are just examples that it is not unidirectional, but a plethora of possibilities.

[rpietila]

Well lets wait and watch what the game will be like but I kind of don't like the idea that you won't be able to withdraw whatever you make within the game even if its in the form of Cryptocurrencies. Does seem to be a very good idea though.

If there's a will, there's a way.

[rpietila]

Tomorrow the game will start! 

(Busy with the rulebook)

[rpietila]

David, rpietela,

I sent the 100 XMR to the adress 4B8suUor7am45MUc7pH3EZeH2UumpWFYHhnHkLvffgsLCY3PF1ShEF3dnGQ615Nq4RBk9M4JKyeRS1E 5jCm23gytJ5R1Xe6 , before seen the message from David to pay with a payment ID. Have you receive the payment ?

It is accounted for, thank you.

Also all the others who have had dues, except saddambitcoin and AdamWhite have been registered as having paid. These guys should contact David soon with the payment practicalities (after 72 hours from the allocation their deal will be cancelled and meanwhile the price has risen).

[rpietila]

Very nice work.
I can see that Risto have a lot of experience in making games (game design, rules, story, communication, ...).
This could get really big.

Thank you for the encouragement. Yes it is nice to do something with passion, even though it kinda came out of woods here.

I like the idea and mechanisms a lot myself. The rules could be better written (impatience). And right now the burden of everything rests on me, but is expected to be distributed in a few weeks, and after 3 weeks the online version already comes to ease the bookkeeping part.

Hope everybody manages to open the Google sheets that have the first visualisation of the city map, and the building rules.

With building, I do not have the idea that everyone should become an architect or a building contractor, any more than that everyone needed to grow their own potatoes (the potato farming will be implemented later), cut their own hair (barbers -..-), make their food (family and taverns will both -..-), or even walk around (drivers -..-).

If the building design subgame interests you, please play it by all means. Otherwise, buy a ready made unit or order a design from an architect. Crypto Kingdom is all about subgames that give you something to master, from all walks of life, according to player interests.

[rpietila]

Royal Plea for the opening of the Stone Market



His Majesty is not pleased with the situation that his Palace and many other planned great buildings have not been constructed, due to some citizens' hoarding of stone, while the willing builders must go without.

We are (still) not willing to touch the dirty trade of dealing with stone ourselves. To encourage someone to start a stone market, which would enable buying and selling of stone in the same way as King's Coinshop allows it for gold, we are willing to grant him either:

- 25,000 stone, or
- a loan of 100,000 stone, payable in 100 years.

The practical arrangement would be a page in Character and Resource Database with buy and sell prices and maximum quantities. The administrator can perform all the practical tasks, as long as the price setting is the merchant's duty. In case of stone, even higher spread than 10% could well be instituted.

If it please HM, I, Luigi Romano, would be willing to open a stone market for a gift of 35,000 stone. (Is bartering with HM conscionable?)

Mr. Luigi Romano's resources for offering such a market are currently weak. Our Majesty is contemplating that 50,000 stone would be purchasable (at minimum) at one price, and the total stores should contain hundreds of thousands. Mr. Luigi does not have the moneritos with which to buy stone, neither has he himself the stone for the starting stash. Furthermore, HM stash of stone is only 27,000 which can be fully granted but not more. Can we have a more detailed explanation concerning how Mr. Luigi would be able to operate the market?

[rpietila]

We are currently tending to pressing affairs of the State, yet will communicate concerning the proposal shortly.

[rpietila]

As Mr. Luigi always says, where there's a will, there's a way.

Let it here be known that Mr. Luigi is in one accord with HM regarding adequate stone reserves for market making purposes. Mr. Luigi recognizes that he has limited avenues to procure needed reserves, but that he would be seeking out (possibly undisclosed) arrangements with other, larger holders of stone and/or moneritos to fulfill reserve requirements. He further proposes that 250,000 stone be an acceptable initial reserve for the beginning of his market (approximately 12% of current total supply). His market charter would be suspended if he drops below 2.5% of total stone supply for more than a 10 year period (5 real days?) (Mr. Luigi is open to suggestions here as well).

Furthermore, Mr. Luigi feels it appropriate that he have a location for his market in F zone. He feels that the presently up-for-auction F1 block is not close enough to the "Giant Heap of Stone", but recognizes it could work in a pinch.

Mr. Luigi would accept the gift of 27,000 stone but would be most interested to hear what HM could offer regarding needed monerito reserves (Mr. Luigi recognizes that HM's monerito holdings are presently 0, but he is not sure why that is). Mr. Luigi suggests that, at a minimum, he be allowed to exchange 100 of his own CKG for moneritos at the King's Coinshop for 0% margin, giving him (presently) 23.8 million moneritos to add to his reserves. Mr. Luigi estimates that a significant stone supply/demand imbalance will exist for the foreseeable future, and therefore places less emphasis on monerito reserves than stone reserves.

Mr. Luigi will also respond here if/when he manages to obtain the proposed 250,000 initial reserve, of course still pending review and approval/changes/suggestions from HM.

His Majesty is very pleased of the determined approach of Mr. Luigi (and his possible associates).

We cannot comment on the technical signing of the contracts, the Town Registry can only contain parchment and stone slabs at present. Perhaps there is a need to appoint a public notary for such stuff, ...

We want to re-iterate our proposal as follows:

- 27,000 stone is immediately gifted from HM stoneary to Mr. Luigi;

- HM grants the new-built vacant basement shop from the Royal Palace (41 sqm in i8) for the headquarters and customer service of this operation, for free, until more massive quarters can be built by the operators;

- upon the 10th anniversary of the successful operation, Mr. Luigi is promoted Expert (L5);

- the trade of 100 gold for moneritos can be done on 5% margin;

- Mr. Luigi promises to make markets for stone so that:
  1) There is always both a buy and sell offer, which may not be more than 20% apart.
  2) The characters can access the market solely based on published prices, without needing to contact Mr. Luigi (contact administrator instead).
  3) One character may not purchase or sell more than 50,000 stone until giving Mr. Luigi the opportunity to update prices.
  4) Mr. Luigi may be contacted for larger quantities or special pricing.
  5) The King is not that interested in reserve requirements, because the whole lamentation was due to the stone not being used. As long as there remains stone to buy in the market, we are good.

[rpietila]

Why is nobody taking part of our joy??!? 

We have procured a water-pipe, and despite the unlucky finishing of both Dom Perignon and Caviar, there is still plenty of Foie Gras left, as well as every kind of wine imaginable...

Earl David has been granted a haw right to the south from his church, and the tailors are busy filling the orders from our kingdom. So everything is fine. Citizens, rejoice with us! 

[rpietila]

I would love to see some pictures of this. A two day alcohol binge in an Estonian castle just found its way onto my bucket list.

Lying in my couch, with waterpipe, some Cognac, some Borghesia Rosso, Gewürtztraminer from Alsace (Elsass), and Foie Gras with truffles, having just built the east annex to my palace, complete with 12 apartments for servants...

[rpietila]

Now you good Earl(s),

Forgive me my bluntness, but the fact is that Earl David's system could hardly suffer a day with solely foie gras, caviar, champagne, Italian sparkling wine, Gewürtztraminer, red wine, Cognac and Armagnac. He is currently sleeping but We are feeling that the day is just starting!

I am fine with giving the control of his character to Earl Riccardo himself; he has been a sockpuppet of mine because of his wish alone. But this way he can hardly make it to Marquis, that is for sure. Just today I ordered him to build a wall around his haw, it only waits for your Earlship to finish yours.

Otherwise, considering that Bishop David has gone to sleep, we feel vigorous and proud of being able to consume 18 measures of alcohol without becoming noticeably drunk, as well as 7 cigars (only one of them classified as Panatela), nearly half a kilo of foie gras, and all the caviar that was bought (the shopping centre "Solaris" in Tallinn had only 2 tins for sale).

Our Royal Majesty exhorts you - and everyone for that matter - to take advantage of the price of gold that is depressed at the auction, and especially the price of land: between gold and the land, both go to zero if the game does not fly. Unlike gold, land becomes r e a l l y   e x p e n s i v e, if it does.

[rpietila]

It appears there are several million stone sitting idle.  The Earl of New Liberty is busy paving roads, and now seeks to erect a structure.

Good citizens! Now your excess stone gives you top monereto!

I have Baron Dr. Choo and Earl d'Armagnac with me here but they went to Rakvere for dinner. As the financial advisor to the Baron, I am willing to let him sell 55,000 stone for 120 apiece. Hopefully also the Earl is willing to sell some of his stash. Baron James is supposedly your business associate and may have some. In addition, you are qualified to buy outright 50,000 @ 120 from Luigi's market without even contacting him.

Hopefully this helps.

[rpietila]

In my paving the roads this day, I wonder if the allowed half allotment was purchased from the peasant masons or were only my own piles depleted, and if not, could what was used in this paving also be bought from peasants to meet the maximum 50%?

In anticipation of your Earlship's grand projects, the peasants were in fact utilized to the maximum already, so the dearth of stone you feel as a result is only to be remedied by interaction with other stone-owners.

Since lamentably the MEW has been dormant and no one has volunteered to help with the construction of the Monero House, another 600,000 stone project, we must conclude that the House will not be ready before the Jubilee. This allows us to sell or loan out the royal stoneproduction of next year, which is about 200,000 stone. But that is next year only, and we would certainly enjoy the continuation of our own projects also. Nevertheless, the importance of the Noble Palace to be ready for the visiting dignitaries overrides our vulgar considerations of building taverns around the town to boost the royal income.

[rpietila]

In service to HM, may I direct you to these information to make a start on ordering some sets of clothing?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tgIzgMza7NQsTpMO9pHke1ZVXYH7l5Sj5bHdZHItivo/edit#gid=342199569

With kind regards.

Can your majesty advise on clothing needs, where do I find the options available?

Your humble servant.
Karl Hungus

the order itself must still be relayed by me

[rpietila]

I had a deal with David Latapie, sent him bitcoins instead of XMR, so he bought them on his own

It's been a week since the deal went trough

Why haven't I been updated on aynthing so far  

+ I got no answer on the last PM I sent him on 29th October

Maybe he hasn't read his messages yet, but he is pretty active on IRC. You can contact him in #monero. If you don't understand IRC, just use this link: http://webchat.freenode.net/ , set a nickname and set the channel to monero. You will find him there and you can figure everything out.

This deal is recorded long time ago. David perhaps just missed to inform you

[rpietila]

I would like to donate for the citadel 50.000 and get one of the lots L1-L54

If I am allowed to hold some land of course!

Select one! Take the best one

[rpietila]

I would like to donate for the citadel 50.000 and get one of the lots L1-L54

If I am allowed to hold some land of course!

Select one! Take the best one

I like L7!

Also how much would a library cost to have in our city?

Library in these times is generally part of a larger establishment. For example Royal Palace has a private library, as well as Marquess' Palace. Monero info center holds some books. The coming Noble Palace has a library in its plan. The Town Hall (when it is built), is planned to have a public library.

A small building eg 10x10 with high arching and 64 sqm inner area, would cost about 25-35 million to build so as to contain some books also.

[rpietila]

Is there any change to the planned schedule for the web viewable version of the city?

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.

[rpietila]

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

Unbelievable bargains to be had!

[rpietila]

Subscription list

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  

[rpietila]

Master Saddam has grown weary during the design phase of his 6 quadrat estate. The plans would best be finished in solitude, rather than the jovial atmosphere of the Grail and Quail.

Your Majesty, I hereby request a land grant at 1-N-D9 in order to rest and reside in the meantime while my palace is designed and built.

Done.

[rpietila]

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

[rpietila]

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

[rpietila]

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.

[rpietila]

Weekend special arrangements

I am (seemingly first time since inception) away for a full day, or actually two. This period starts in about 4 hours and I will be back on Monday morning GMT, with a possibility for a short session previous night.

This means that we will reach 1486 early in about 4 hours.
1488 happens only Sunday night or Monday morning.
1490 will be the year for the weekly promotions and the services pool adjustments. These will happen once they are ready, probably about 2-4 PM Monday.
1492 will be reached normal time, only after midnight after Monday GMT, or likely the next morning.

All the admins should get their rights to edit databases now. And then get help from Roopatra before they edit anything, since the risk to mess up badly is very real, the databases are not designed to be handled by multiple people, but also game is so big that one person cannot do all the work

Service pool payouts

To find out how the eateries are doing, we have made the following change: taverns and restaurants now have uniform quality ranking and uniform price ranking.
$ - one meal brings 1,000 m margin (price - variable cost)
$$ - one meal brings 2,000 m margin (price - variable cost)
$$$ - one meal brings 4,000 m margin (price - variable cost)
$$$$ - one meal brings 8,000 m margin (price - variable cost)
$$$$$ - one meal brings 16,000 m margin (price - variable cost).

  - normal food and service
  - good food and service
  - very good food and service
  - exceptionally good food and service
  - not awarded to any place yet.

I am sure tavern owners would all like to say that their place has the best food and service. But objective criteria are used instead:
- number and pay level of chefs
- number (and pay level) of waitresses
- age (some places get the reputation, others don't)
- Player testimony.

So like last time, please list the 3 places where you most frequent and why (Obviously the $ places are not even intended for us the players, rather they are for our servants). Tavern owners please tell corrections to the price levels of your eateries.

It is too late to hire more staff for this round. And firing staff is totally prohibited anyway so you should not hire too many 

Also please tell where the city centre now resides (quadrat-level accuracy if possible). This is an important input to tourist income.

One building can now be nominated Most Esteemed, for extra tourist income. Please vote among the following:
- Obelisk
- Cathedral
- Royal Palace
- Town Hall.

(The other Esteemed buildings: Grand Hotel, Noble Palace and Citadel, are deemed too young to have a chance of becoming Most Esteemed yet.)

The city has 2 great hotels: Noble Palace (though it is not a normal hotel but anyway) and Grand Hotel. Which one would you recommend for a privileged visitor?

Midprice options are Monero House Hotel, Smooth's Hotel in G12, Grail and Quail, and Priory House Hotel in d'Armagnac haw. Which of these is your choice for a cheaper stay?

[rpietila]

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

[rpietila]

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.

[rpietila]

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

Year is now 1504 and will soon turn to 1506.

[rpietila]

Sorry I might have missed something, I don't understand how much the LDC are worth and how to use them.

Those are worth 10,000,000 each and you can use them as payments for land currently forsale by the town in the new area.

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

Founding of The Hypothecary Bank in CryptoTown

Marquess Joseph subscribes 30 stocks and 30 million worth of Series A bonds.
Asenath Subscribes to 10 stocks and 10 million worth of series A bonds.

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.)

[rpietila]

The Long Bond current bids:

2 @ 0.30  Asenath
1 @ 0.26  iluvbitcoins
2 @ 0.25  Earl Riccardo

If no more bids come, Long bond pays back 400%.

Now we start to consider if the time is ripe for a long bond offering. Some background.

The 50-year bond is 25 real-days, so if it could be renewed (which is likely possible), it matures 14.6 times per year. 1.15^14.6 = 7.69. Therefore the real-annualized return on the Series A bond is 669%. It is possible because the game is in such an early stage that the assets bought with the money can appreciate quickly (Jacket's recent sale of land in N, netted him 689% in 18 days, which is much less than a year, and he invested the profits in more land).

But it does not make much sense to pay back 8 times the amount in one year. In this case it would be better to invest the money in the game yourself. The economic rationale for interest rate is composed of:
- opportunity cost for money;
- risk of not getting back the amount promised.
- (in addition comes the actuarial cost of managing stuff, for this reason the large banks cannot be bothered to corner CryptoEconomy just yet)

XMR's opportunity cost is zero, since it does not have any other venues that offer keeping your money in XMR, still receiving interest on it.

Risk of not getting back is composed of bank failure and game failure, compounded over a year.

- The bank may be too big to fail, although as the Professor of Economics we staunchly deny the willingness to interfere with free markets, as King we care for the townspeople. In any case the bank is not especially prone to fail, because the failure would cause ripple effects in land markets etc.
- The game has many reasons and opportunities to fail, and the probabilities everyone must assess himself. Once the long bond markets work, then the interest rate tells (roughly) what is the probability that the market gives for the game's continued existence over one year.

So much said, the Long bond is a debt instrument whose maturity is 365 real-days. Its face value is 100 million, and the price is quoted as continuously compounded interest rate until maturity, or the market value (these two are the same thing because knowing one, you can calculate the other).

(now the rates are given as daily, instead of "game-APR", since the length of the game-year changes during the maturity of the bond)

Code:

Daily %	Real-APR%	Pay	Get back
1,27 %	9900 %	1	100
1,08 %	4900 %	2	100
0,82 %	1900 %	5	100
0,63 %	900 %	10	100
0,52 %	567 %	15	100
0,44 %	400 %	20	100
0,38 %	300 %	25	100
0,33 %	233 %	30	100
0,29 %	186 %	35	100
0,25 %	150 %	40	100
0,19 %	100 %	50	100
0,14 %	67 %	60	100
0,10 %	43 %	70	100
0,06 %	25 %	80	100
0,03 %	11 %	90	100

Several game ventures can pay back more than 1.27% daily currently. I am sure many would like to invest in a bond that cleanly pays back 100 times the original investment - but that is not possible, someone will overbid you   To generate value in the economy, the playing must be fun, and the high returns are just a result of generating value. The King is not a believer in generating value by adding numbers to databases, but adding colored squares does qualify.

To get the Long Bond, the barometer of the health of the economy and trustworthiness of the continuation of the game, started, the Hypothecary Bank of CryptoTown is issuing 5 units of long bond, 100 million payback value each.

SERIES 1 LONG BOND

The Hypothecary Bank of CryptoTown, pays to the presenter of this parchment, on the day and year that does correspond to the day of 2015-12-2 in the land of Humans and their Lord, 100,000,000 moneretos.

His Majesty The King bids 20,000,000 per unit, for a nice 5-fold payback if the game still exists after a year It is possible to bid for 1-5 units and auction closes in 24 hours.

The Company of Theophany did well and produced some more page of Codex Cryptonica

• Nobility recapitulate the various titles and way to address the nobility.
• Clergy. This later entry contains some interesting rumours as well a non exhaustive list of title and how to properly address a member of the Clergy. The Church wishes to thank the Most Honorary Marquess Karl Hungus for his precious help

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

[rpietila]

rpietila thanks for all, i busy this weekend but let you know if i can buy land this weekend . ^^

May I suggest that you address the King properly? The best way to strive in our city includes respect of some basic politeness. The kingdom reached already a significant development which wouldn't be possible without a subtle but important sense of social order.

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:

Your Grace, another payment to the treasury of 850.09 XMR

PayId: 0d2bb31e9eCENSORED0ba186c00416dd27b3cc3d8e711837404c99641b5f7317

regards
The Marquess of OZ

It is Your Majesty to you. Bishop is Your Grace. 

Your Majesty, my PM was sent to the Bishop in his role as CK treasurer, and I have got into the habit of CC'ing you a copy also to speed things up. Previously there could be up to 48 hours before the payments were recorded on the spreadsheet when PM'ing the Bishop only, but when I CC HM  the payment gets recorded promptly, thus avoiding interest. I would never dare to insult you Your Majesty!!

Your humble servant
The Marquess of OZ

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!"

[rpietila]

Congratulations to all those promoted!

I have a request for His Majesty. My cat Riddick has shown an interest in the game. Now that I have 10,000 gold I would like to set him up as my sockpuppet, if the Kingdom will allow a cat to play.

If so, I would like to transfer my property at 1-N-D9 so that young Riddick may be a full resident of the Kingdom.

If Horse can be a Senator, Cat can be a Visitor.

 

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

[rpietila]

Until 500,000 stone is used for building in 1524 (including the whole building that crosses the threshold), the Labor is -10%.

Roopatra´s Architecture and Building Inspection office is open and serving customers, and will conduct during the year 1524 "extra swift processing" so that we can achieve to use 500,000 stone and not lose the labor pool income.

Majesty is also doing some work for his customers, but 500,000 is likely not exceeded..

[rpietila]

Due to the unprecedented interest in NLQI shares The Marquess now offers 1.5M per share and there are 10 available at 2M.  Please accept our apologies for the price volatility while we seek some market clearing prices.  Congratulations to any who wish to enjoy this 50% price appreciation in just one year by cashing out.

Earl of Tavastia has been enterprising enough to buy 50 shares. He is (a little too) eager for a quick buck and can sell 25 shares @ 2.0 mil if anyone is interested.

His Majesty's inspection on the stone quarries (no more changes for next year).

The major part of ground was untouched everywhere. Some quarries had been dug deeper than the others. Guys were shoveling the soil, which was tedious due to the small and big stones dotting the soil. The stones were collected to heaps that were let to be washed in rainwater. Some of the heaps were already transported to be used as building stone.

The locals have provided their animals and carts for transport, and were supposedly paid in stone since no record in the accounts can be seen. In many places, guys took turns to work, and enjoyed this relief greatly. They seemed to enjoy their life as much as it is possible, being a quarry worker in 1524. The professionals seemed mostly stressed and out-of-place, though. The highest boss in every place looked like his working conditions were acceptable.

Sunday - no questions

Secondary offering - Smooth Investment Fund

Smooth Investment Fund is making a secondary offering of 300 units at 97% of NAV. This is a 3% discount off of the value of the underlying assets (which are in general priced at their midprice).

Discount is increased to 17% below NAV (83% of NAV). For the rest of the details see above.

This is the lowest discount that will be offered, and represents an unprecedented value on some of the premium assets in the game!

Any unsold shares in 24 hours will be purchased by me.

Subscriptions (all will be sold at the same price):

Haridimous 12 shares
--
Available 288 shares

I'd like to deal this offering to my wealth management clients, but it could be stated in easier terms:

- list of assets, their quantity, price used, and total value
- number of shares
- price offered.

At present this is not easy to find. The Marquess of Soul has increased his bid of the TH shares to 4 million per share, so this should be considered.

[rpietila]

Before stepping down as the CEO, The GH Corp, we will give some hints to the successor:

Why we ended up here:

Years ago, the Town decided to offer NPSK (New Player Starter Kit), and GH stock was selected as one of the assets offered. In anticipation of new equity, the GH managed to take loans from the Bank, to be paid back with the equity raised with the NPSK. The New Grand was built with this money, essentially about 85% loan upon construction.

Not a single NPSK-GH share was sold.

Then came this economic system overhaul, destroying all our cash flow, while the hordes of NPC still wanted to be paid.

We do not claim any mismanagement on our part.


The situation can be solved by:

1) Selling properties. GH owns the Grand Hotel (13 q), GH haw (12 q), the New Grand (15 q) and 16 q of unbuilt land in 3-W, perfectly situated to be a site for a prestigious hotel. Haws cannot be sold without Royal permission, and the keeping of the Grand Hotel is a priority, so only the two other ones are really possible. The 16 q in 3-W can hardly fetch a price that could make a difference, no matter how good a land it is.

2) Loan. Bank is willing to give new loans to its largest customer, only that the same rules apply than everyone else, and currently the margin is high unless the overall situation improves dramatically. Also the pools must work before this is considered.

3) Stock offering at market price. This is very difficult to value, and because the amount is large, it has a high probability of ending up a failure and putting us against the wall with the deadline.

4) Stock offering at a discounted price. If the discount is great enough, all current owners are essentially forced to take part of it, or face a large dilution. It is not questioned that GH properties are more valuable than its loans, the question is how much they are valued. By raising money with this method, all owners are treated equally and the ownership% do not change. After the situation is resolved, the market price is again found and the ones who invested "against their will" can capture the value by selling the excess to the market. From GH side, this is an effortless method of raising money.

[rpietila]

Man your prices are too cheap! (if that's all what it takes...)

[rpietila]

I mean when will the Crypto Kingdom GAME(with graphics) go online?

Never. According to OP, it is not a graphical game, in any post-1991 sense of what it means.

1980s graphics it has had since October.

We are about to launch a more interactive version, yes, but if you refuse to call what we have now a GAME, you are a little ridiculed by the people who have spent thousands of hours playing it already.

Drinks and Drinking

Now as the time has started moving, it is possible to consider our new temporal needs. Eating is not yet implemented but drinking soon will. At present, it is possible to amass the drinks for future consumption and taste the drinks to gain health points. The basics of the system are explained below:

1. Drink types

Mead is produced by the Town (later: by commoners in distilleries). The production carries a tax of 500 m per measure. The Town is currently selling mead for consumption at 1,000 m per measure. Thus, to change from water to mead, sets you back 24,000 m per realday = 168,000 m/gameyear. All mead is uniform, fungible and (currently) unperishable. It is "MEAD" in /F_OWN and 1 MEAD = 24 liters, enough for a realday.

Beer is a monopoly of the Church. The Church automatically produces the needed amount, and the cost of production, 1,000 m per bottle, is automatically paid to the Town. The Church can sell it at any price to make profit for themselves to be used for Church functions. All beer is uniform, fungible and (currently) unperishable. It is "BEER" in /F_OWN and 1 BEER = 24 bottles, enough for a realday.

Wine denotes any drink that is mid-strength and ages in bottle. They typically must be consumed in 10-50 years from production. Import tax is 10,000 m/bottle, in addition the cost of purchase may be significant. Wine can be consumed both for sustenance and by bottle. Gamemaster decides with what terms wine is able to be procured directly, or whether it must be bought from aftermarket. It is estimated that 1-3 types of wine would emerge per year, making the total number of wines in game to be about 100 at a later time (too old wines may be removed from drinkables and changed to collectibles).

- Currently W1600 price has been raised to 2 IC / a crate of 12 bottles (includes tax). This is because the 1601 vintage is considered poor so the price of this is pressured upwards. W1600 has gained more character rapidly (despite initial appearance to the contrary) and is a very enjoyable wine already, fetching 16-17 /20 regularly.
- W1601 is possible to be had for 1 IC / 12 bottles (incl tax). Tasting notes reveal a hardly drinkable character with no aging likely - instead will turn bad in a few years max. It is not even plentiful so price is high-ish.

Spirits are drinks that are distilled, strong, and do not age in bottle. They remain potable forever. Import tax is 100,000 m/bottle, and the purchase price may be significant. Spirits can only be consumed by bottle. Every other year, a new spirit comes to market (through some ingenious and always different method), dated for that year and not possible to buy more later. In addition, some generic spirits (such as CVS) will be available. These can be restocked and their age is not counted.


2. Drinking for sustenance

Each realday is 24 gamedays. Each realweek is 24*7 gamedays = 7 gamemonths = 1 gameyear. From now (1601) on, realweekly, you need to drink 168 bottles. This is deducted from your stock automatically in case of wine, and purchased automatically in case of beer/mead.


To keep the health of the townspeople from deteriorating too quickly, we set the following default drink plans (you can inform us to change your drink plan, it is in /CHAR):

- All wizards and nobles will drink the best wine that they have in stock (in the order: W1600, W1601B, W1600M, W1601) if they have any; if not, beer instead (Drink Plan A).

- Drink Plan AB is available upon request to those who cannot afford to drink only wine, but want to have some of its benefits. It consists of 24 bottles of the best wine they have, and 144 bottles of beer (Drink Plan AB).

- Experts and higher will drink beer (Drink Plan B) and purchase it from the Church automatically.

- Novices and lower will drink mead (Drink Plan C) and purchase it from the Town automatically.

- Drinking water (Drink Plan D) is available upon request (very unhealthy).

Drink Plan actually affects your health, which will be seen right away in 1602!


3. Drinking for fun/health

Please inform what you have drunk and how much, and have it deducted from your stock in /F_OWN.


4. Taxation rationale

The Town is trying to make drink taxes such a big source of income that business and labor taxes could, if possible, be removed altogether in the future.

New Allocated CKG Items!

Gold Allocation is completed. 100% of all gold now exists in an allocated form.

- The fungible forms of gold can be found in /F_OWN. Unique forms are in /ITEMS_U. (/CKG_COINS is migrated to /F_OWN!!)

- The bulk of all the gold exists in the following 5 forms, all minted in the new mint, and dated 1602:

CR1602A - 1 CKG small gold coin "flake" (will be minted yearly from 1601 on)
CR1602E - 5 CKG coin of the realm (continuation of the series since 1400)
HM02B100 - 100 CKG gold bar
HM02B1000 - 1,000 CKG gold bar
HM02B10000 - 10,000 CKG gold bar.

- When trading gold, please transfer also the items in the (mainly) /CKG_COINS tab. If you don't, never mind. Someone will notice it since there is a checksum showing that one counterparty has excess allocated and the other deficient, and the admins can fulfill the trade by transfering any of these "trade forms".

- You can sell any gold to the King's Coinshop, but you may only take the items above, and the minimum number of pieces. "Taking change" of course ok, if you sell a large item, yet want to depart of a smaller amount of CKG.

- The new CR16xxA series now has two members, CR1601A and CR1602A. Most characters have both, and 500+ of both exist. CR1603A will be very rare, because only 1 per about 17 hours of playtime will be created next week. So it is likely that only few will come to existence. The same will be true of every future mintage until the game becomes successful. These coins are only minted from the virgin gold, which exceeds the 1,000,000 ancient gold quota.

- CR1601E (732) and CR1602E (3,280) are the most numerous CRxxxxE coins so far. Previous record is as recent as CR1599E (220) and the previous before that as historical as CR1418E (200, of which 198 remain).

Stone has been transmuted to "buildings".

Notes:
- In New City, Rome had 3,340,700 stone, which was transferred to Lucky Lion without compensation due to Rome not having a suitable lot.
- In New City, Rome also bought the stone that could not be stored by the owner, for 133 m/stone

Interesting.

Seems like Jacket got the good deal out of this one. 500 shares out of 2000

The CEO may have something to say about that.

All I wanted to say is that the compensation was not debited because my job was just to get the stone away. You are free to do whatever with it now, including sell it if needed. (The easiest would be if LL pays the owner some agreed compensation, eg. the midprice 133 m/stone).

B) 115 mil

1.5 hours left in the auction! Especially this item (40*4 CKG coin, of a series that has not been distributed yet) is going for really cheap - current price is only 9.6 million over melt value for the whole lot!

We are fighting against the final issues. At present the estimated delivery is 4 hours from this post.

If the issues are larger than anticipated, then a strange thing called sleep might be resorted to, adding ~8 hours. That is something not so much used in the last few days, though... 

[rpietila]

In about 2 hours we will migrate the data, and start giving final accounts to the most active players first.

Mention to me in PM/IRC if you want your account among the first - I will send it to the authorized PM or equivalent.

[rpietila]

So if you want to get your hands on the testing of the Agora Market trading system (production data, so no rollback unless tech fails), please sign up to me! The latest info I have is that it should be working in 6 hours!

The time has passed but it is not working.

When the previous development team failed in totality, I swore that no making myself clown by continuously covering up the ungrateful devs' blunders, will ever happen any more. So I will now tell truthfully - the Wizard Developer estimate for getting the exchange system working was too optimistic. He has met and beaten his estimates repeatedly so many times that I came to expect this would be realistic as well. It wasn't.

Nothing else is broken except that since I am totally reliant of the estimates, if they don't hold, my actions such as writing to this thread and closing the google DB are out of place. After living through estimation errors of 8 months in a 1 month project, we can easily live with this. I am just frustrated and promised that this time I say it

We will review the situation first thing tomorrow morning. The Wizard Dev and me are in agreement that this estimation error was the first failure so far in the project. The current progress is visible in the game url, but there is no reason for anyone to test it now as we well know what the missing issues are at the moment.

 

And of course it was partly my fault as well....

[rpietila]

Don't be too hard on yourself, gentlemen.  

The past three weeks I have been spending all my time in and out of class learning how to be a developer (we are focusing on JS/MEAN stack).

One of the most important things I have learned is the value of taking a break when you are stuck.

Also, failure is not a bad thing, you sometimes have to fail hundreds of times before you get it right.

Accurate software estimation seems to be another science entirely, and you get better with experience.

I am looking forward to the new game era!

We are dealing with professionals now. This is the 6th comparable software project in which I have been the feature-specifying client. All from different companies or teams, based on 4 different countries, over 14 years, with the combined project length measured in years and intensity in man-years. In each case the software has been designed by me from the scratch, been the crucial and integral part of the startup's business without which no operations could profitably be conducted; mostly the startup's valuation has been over € 1 million at the time of ordering it, and I have had the position of CEO/president/whatever and a commanding stake. So yeah there may be more experienced guys in the world but not that many. Show me one who has completely specified this many different systems for his own direct use, and been the client team key person during the implementation, for starters!  

Allow me to vent a little (this is intended that you would receive benefit in learning how not to do, not to lay blame on any individual except myself who cannot always realize how important it is to make it clear to the counterparty that bullshitting with me is a short rope, and a completely stupid idea. I am not of course talking strongly about the Wizard, whose only mistake was to slip 2 features in this week's release, of which features he could not evaluate the coding time accurately, but based on the assessment, I spent hours closing the google DB (this involved massive work in merging the datatypes from 10s of tabs to 4 main types and their attribute_lookup_tables - our DB has about 7,000 lines in Character, Lot, Building and Item tables and each line consists of the data in 10s of fields.

If I take the decision to close the DB, it needs to be based on solid reality and timing, which is accurate to the hour, not to the day or to the week! May the day never come when I enter any business relation again with jokers who cannot estimate their own work with a useful accuracy! (A note to the newbs here - it is not difficult to be able to give an estimate of "1-3 hours in 90% probability" hey wtf if you do anything in your own work, you can probably estimate better, also if you do the household chores, even better). And we are talking about solid professionals here!

The decision that now failed, was the decision to think we can release the game with an exchange-type items trading system, in this week's release. Both the decision to schedule and promise the release to any future date when the system can be ready (and google DB used until that), or stick to the original feature specification of this week's release could have been better. Many people can code, and some can very well. Many can estimate, but even if you cannot, I can compensate because I know how long it should take to make something. But if you can code, and estimate, and suddenly fail on either (which is basically the same thing), problem is at hand.

Whoever thinks he can add to my spex, nice features without realistic estimates, and fail the release, is playing with fire!   The blame is not on me who proposes the features, it is on the one whose estimates fail reality! (Tinkering with the spex yourself without asking me, is beyond belief and whoever is guilty of it hopefully never thinks of it again with other clients - certainly not with me at least.)

Once again: The development process decisions, which I make several each day, depend on the estimates that the coders are providing. In Ultima, we have included features ahead-of-schedule based on the surprisingly fast deployment, and postponed others based on the estimate that they require days to complete. Hey - we don't have days for anything except features that we cannot live without. Items trade being one.

So I assess the degree of my culpability: In the first project team my assessment of their capability was so much off the reality that I continued to believe something could be accomplished in acceptable or even tolerable timeframes, despite none whatsoever proof (the total lack of delivery was indeed fooling me as I could not calibrate my assessment of their productivity nor my assessment of their capability to estimate). Now I was again lured by the tired developer (atypical for him) "yeah-yeah we can make all this by 9pm, let me just finish the office day first, go home, eat and chat with my gf", when I could easily see that the performance per hour had already suffered.

So we decided to have another rescheduling meeting today, after a good sleep, in a few minutes. We have them almost daily and when the deadline approaches, several per day. The decision will be to redefine the features included in the release, redefine the release date and time, and redefine how the game continues meanwhile. Will be posted soon!

I also want to commend HM and the Wizard Developer for persisting with further development on the trading system prior to release of the Ultima version. A fully functioning trading platform for in-game assets is worth waiting for, and I feel very relieved to know that HM prefers to achieve a quality outcome in this instance rather than meeting a previously announced launch target. A user friendly trading platform will catapult CK a lot further than deadline punctuality! A good decision!!

Most likely we press on with the decision, but that does not remove the importance of accurate estimation. What kindled my anger really, was the remembrance of the bunch of jokers whose inability to estimate, or deliver, caused a 4-month break in the game. For a long-time businessman like myself, the decision to temporarily close down all operations due to migration is one that is taken only after considerable planning and making of a strict and detailed execution plan. The damage to the game from our previous errors is incalculable, so it would feel good to get it right this time

[rpietila]

Also, failure is not a bad thing, you sometimes have to fail hundreds of times before you get it right.

If you truly do agile, you can fail in:

DEV:
a) your performance may be unsatisfactory
b) estimation of your performance may be inaccurate

CLIENT:
c) estimation of the precision of the other's estimation of his performance may be off
d) estimation of the accuracy (variance) in the other's estimation of his performance may be off.


Our failure of the week was of the d) type. The Wizard had been performing excellently (cross a) and estimated it well (cross b). I had not found problems with c) since such a low precision is anyway needed. This had lead me to think that d) accuracy was also good and less PM contingency was needed, but we had an outlier because of misunderstanding of the scope of one feature. Unluckily it was on the release date when the DB was already closed

This post will soon be enlarged to be a schedule concerning how the many different features and modules that already were in the latest Google version (the one in use from autumn 1600 to Ultima) now work, and when this working state is reached.

It is expected that everything works in 2 weeks and that this post will be finalized tomorrow.

[rpietila]

time

[rpietila]

Because of my flu that messed with the schedule, new health challenge will only happen in about 10 hours, after some sleep first

Everybody will be investigated and all consumption taken into account.

[rpietila]

The (mass) VEG has arrived, perhaps a few days later than usual (July 21) but also a little more plentiful than average (28/25).

A comprehensive report on the war front and the alliance front will come in about 12 days (real-hours). This means it will not come before that and the fate of half of our land and troops is uncertain until that.

So it is an excellent time to announce that STO will get double effectiveness on PRE this year, and the deadline to send it is the moment when the war report arrives. The PRE levels of 1623 will be evaluated then and the report given before the year end.

A quick recap on PRE:
- PRE points are administrative, military and engineering preparations to found a county seat, which means town. When 100*PRE is reached, the town can be formed with civil administration, land titles, etc. Lesser amounts of PRE grant other benefits.
- PRE is untransferable and stays in the county. If a county is lost or abandoned, the PRE accumulated starts to degrade. If the preparations are canceled but the county is kept, the PRE is unaffected.
- PRE is gained by:
1. Sending SCI to county, where admin spends it
2. Sending stone to county*, where admin spends it
3. Having MGR, ASS and OTH in the county (not spent but cost money - prerequisite for any PRE to be gained)
4. Having forces in the county
5. Other things such as S-BLD (minor effect, usually not spent)

*The stone is not really transported 100s of miles. It stays in the capital and OldDuchy pays the workers to use it for general improvements. The PRE benefit goes to the donator's county.

SCI update (to be amended to HH the SCI-Controller's post)

King and University paid 1,000 SCI (50/50) to obtain this information:

1. All SCI advances are 10,000 or more SCI face value. With Foreign Power aid (50%) it is theoretically possible to cash in the aid, and reach the advance by waiting 15 years for the time bonus and then throwing in 1,029 SCI (or any combo of less time and more SCI).

2. Slow researching gets a MGN discount - the formula for MGR(&ASS) points needed in the Research account is 1 MGN point per 100 SCI annual accumulation (both "own" and time bonus SCI are counted), with a maximum 10 points (previously fixed 10 regardless of speed).

3. On the other hand, a 20 mil admin fee is to be paid to SirJacket for setting up a new Research account. This covers the administration of the project to its conclusion.

4. Crispbread - 10,000 SCI. It is known that Sweden has it, and believed that others do not. The intended outcome is to gain competence to cultivate a new grain previously found in the north only. Bread can be made that would spoil only slowly (as do all other consumables except VEG and CAV). To make this a privately interesting project, royal monopoly can be granted for a time.

5. Medium Cannon - 10,000 SCI. It is believed that all powers have it (Rossiya not sure). The shot would be a standard 6 pound to allow enemy cannonballs to be used. This weapon is more powerful but less mobile than the 3-pounder. 3-pounder has a crew of 3 (making 3 cannons per section). If this could be handled with 3 men in the field, it would boost firepower greatly. Included comes all kinds of research about artillery use in the field.

6. Heavy Cannon - 10,000 SCI. It is believed that at least some continental powers have it. The shot would be 24 pounds, capable of demolishing stone walls etc. The weapon is largely roadbound. Indirect fire is possible. Included comes all kinds of research about artillery use in the siege.

7. RWWC is willing to start cannon research immediately at a medium pace. It is yet undecided, which one. Cannon research opens the way to further research.

8. Engineering - 10,000 SCI. We realized that engineering had fallen into neglect in our town with the number of NPC declining. This advance would unlock a plethora of others (to be researched), including road and countryside fortifications construction. The immediate benefit would be the organisation of engineering talent to the new ENG NPC-type, and also allow OTH to promote for better cost-effectiveness. Kingdom-wide joint effort is advisable for this important advance, which all except Rossiyans surely have and at least Sweden is using efficiently.

9. Seafaring - 20,000 SCI. Again, all except Rossiya has it. Will allow trade and troop movement vessels to be constructed and operated and open the way for new research. Funding arrangement unknown at the moment, perhaps we should sell "1st Lord of the Sea" titles...

10. Military Science - 10,000 SCI. This is so cheap because we have had the department for so long time already. Researching the advance would grant +10 points of Command to all units and quicker (higher) officer promotions as well. Plus perhaps other things. And unlock new important military research.

11. Confirmation about B-22. When this is completed, it allows all the 25 boroughs in CryptoTown to be utilised as we then have the knowledge to allocate enough but not excessively space for support functions.

Mint your Coppers!

The Royal mint has a monopoly on coins, badges and the like. About 20 new gold coins are coming to the market per decade, also about 12 new silver coins and an irregular number, perhaps 10 new copper tokens. Most golds and silvers are according to the schedule, while coppers can be contracted from the Mint by anyone at the following pricing (you can decide the exact number to be made though):
20 mil : Up to 100
25 mil : Up to 700 (1*KMT gives this many tokens when smelted)
30 mil : Up to 1400
35 mil : Up to 3500
40 mil : Up to 7000
The runs for up to 1400 instances are Most Elaborate quality, quantities more than that: Elaborate. Mint will keep 5 instances (mint copies) for 10 years and is then free to do whatever with them. (2 go to King and are not coming back, the 1 is kept in the Mint, it is being considered that 1 would be sent to the CryptoMuseum.)

All new copper tokens go to the same collection series that already includes the following:
CT1454 - Construction of the Town Hall - 100 exist
CT1566 - Royal CryptoArmy Centenary - 100 exist
CT1600 - Bronze Reconstruction Medal - 150 exist
CT1613 - Token of Remembrance - 50 exist
CT1614 - In can we trust - 420 exist
CT1616 - HM 250th birthday - 200 exist
CT1619 - Cryptonic monero - 790 exist

The years 1621, 1622, 1623 and 1624 are now free! Grab yours by pinging me! Example of the info below
mintage=300
name=Castlebuilder Badge
desc=Bronze medallion about 15 gram
specialNote=Castlebuilder Badge is awarded to people who build great buildings - currently 400 sqm needed

Discussion

It may seem that it is a daunting task to collect 100 gold coins, and an easy one to collect 10 coppers. This is not correct, though. Gold has ~100 common coins available and ~50 rares of mintage=20. Because of so many rares, the prices of those, which are not especially historical, are actually very affordable and may be got only a tad higher than gold spot price. At present, the main obstacle for gold collecting is the tight deadline in getting the coveted GCB1625 (since these will only be awarded this one year): Only one year from this post (168 realhours). And the other challenge is of course related to firepower - 100 gold coins' collection is definitely a 500+ CKG undertaking.

With silver, the challenge is doable with some money - silver coins cost less than golds, are mostly not rare or even almost rare (in fact half of them being present in 100 or more instances). If a later date badge is acceptable, the whole silver set is probably obtainable by paying rather little premiums. Since silver does not have a generally accepted midprice, it is more difficult to determine "premium" though. TS162 conversion price is 0.11 mil/CKS.

With coppers, without existing set of 6 badges, it is actually very hard to collect 10 different, unless the owners of COTxxxx supply the market (even if they do, COT are from 1360-1450 era mostly, so not dirtcheap regardless, based on the age alone). The majority of coppers are not only most-very rare, but also were awarded one by one to characters, who regard them as heirlooms, and these characters are rich! So especially as the King also does not appreciate that the original holder sells the badges, each one coming to the market is a surprise so having blanket bids patiently waiting may be an option.

The King's Coinshop is currently busy updating the bids and asks (in CKS/token), this does not however prevent you from planning your strategy meanwhile!

2 tickets were spoiled in this 25% trimming round. These belonged to SirJacket and Earl Mooo. 7 tickets remaining!

[rpietila]

Hi there, signing in again after some time. So how can I continue playing the game? I sent XMR to buy Investments, property, etc - now rpeitila is not answering any PM's

Hi, welcome back! Yes, it applies to you also that after you have decided to be unreachable for 6 months, please allow us 6 days to decide what to do!

[rpietila]

1. Labor has updated new asks for NPC!

2. MEAD, BEER, CAN, MUS have been produced!

3. Soon: Commoner salaries will be paid for 2 years that they have been delayed.

4. Soon: Deaths from last year will be recorded.

[rpietila]

Yes, it's very cool to finally get it done. Possibility to build anew will be enabled today or tomorrow. All the 11 pools are (re-)initialised to be ready to divide the dividends. In total, we have 16,000,000,000 m in the pools which is quite a nice addition to the annual payouts.

The pools that are readily selectable for every stone building are:

CUL pools
- Culture
- Residence
- Villa

SCI pools
- Science
- Headquarters

M pools

- Office
- Commercial
- Apartment

While it is possible to allocate any stone building to any of these uses, the pools have a internal formulas that give pool shares according to the suitability of the building for the specific use. Villa, for instance, does not derive much benefit for a busy location, and gets much benefit for large gardens, which Headquarters is exactly the opposite. The CUL/SCI pools give fixed payout per share, so it is always possible to get them. The M pools give 15% of the size of the pool each year, divided to the number of shares in the pool, so the M amount fluctuates. These ensure that the buildings module are a self-correcting entity: it does not cost anything at present to reallocate the building, so the most nimble players will check them out annually that they produce the best payouts. The ones with less time to tinker with their buildings will benefit from the adjustments of the nimble ones and their buildings also produce decently because of the self-correcting mechanism. It is likely that a number of buildings will remain the backbone of each pool due to their suitability, and there is also a number of buildings that flip to the most profitable pool, equalising their rewards.

There are also pools that are not selectable:
- Wood
- Factory
- Shopfront.

Wood will be implemented soon; it is the pool for commoners to live cheaply and build parts of their dwelling every year. When they get promoted to L6...L10, they will need to get rid of it and live in stone as the established citizens do. Wood building module incorporates things such as PIGs, which will cease to be items.

Factory requires a certain type of building and apparently produces nothing (in reality counts as a Factory in manually-administered subgames). Even if it were possible, do not switch to/from Factory.

Shopfront is a special pool that acts as a bonus pool for buildings that in addition to their main usage, have the lowest floor dedicated to commerce. If the location is good enough, this provides a nice bonus chunk of money from the Shopfront pool, and makes the building cashflow positive even if the main usage were CUL/SCI. The Shopfront pool is not selectable because it needs to be decided when the building is constructed. New buildings have the option of Shopfront.

When Buildings start their payouts, I have decided that the deferred dividends and taxes are not to be paid. Paying them in the beginning would profit only the wolves that adjust their payouts hourly (and not their rightful recipients - the historical building stock belonging to the ancient magnates: Crown, me, Soul, OZ and Roopatra, together owning 50% of the town). Also the repair and lux depreciation is not affected to them. Rather, we start with the regular 15% so that old and new buildings are in the same footing.

Only the extra taxes need to be paid and will be charged, as they are based on time passing and not of dividend. If you have extra taxed lots and want to get rid of them before the negative windfall, sell them or gift them to town. The charging of extra taxes will not happen in 48 hours, and will be announced as it has happened.

Lot trading is enabled.

The guide is very useful,many thanks to his majesty,the King! On the other hand I want to point out a bug I found in the building editor. When I click "Preview building",the "Preview Payout" section gets too low on the screen and I am not able to scroll down.

i think there was also one with the windows - it seems if you select a window factor greater than something, it stops refreshing the payout change from the number of windows, unless you refresh the page.

I had the issue very recently, PJ says it is fixed meanwhile, please tell me whether it is or not!

Quarry and Building Company resourcing formula


Quarry

It is possible to quarry chapelries which have their geology assigned (eg. "343" in /Map). If you zone a chapelry, the geology is annulled, and no quarrying is possible. Farming does not annul the possibility to later quarry a chapelry.

The quarriers need to manage their companies themselves, including annual creation of stone (STO1) extracted, and the corresponding reduction in the geology.

The formula requires WP (work points) conversion to removing of tranches of soil/stone.

WP is created as such:
- Count the workers (WOR-1, WOR-2, WOR-3, WOR-4), each does as much work as the id suggests.
- Managerial need is 1 MGR point per each (starting) 5 workers (not WP). In addition, 1*MGR-5 and 1*ASS-3 are required for general management.
- Assistant need is 1 ASS point per each (starting) 5 workers PLUS per each manager.
=====> The properly managed and assisted workers then do the work and create the WP.

Tranches of soil are removed as follows:
- 25% penalty to WP, first year when the team moves to a new place
- Each starting 70 WP removes one tranche of soil.
- There is no maximum, how many can be quarried per year.

Stone is got as follows:
- Each 70 WP gets 300,000*STO1 from soil tranches, or 1,200,000*STO1 from stone tranches.
- If the number of WP in the last tranche is a fraction of 70, the stone yield is reduced accordingly (the rest of the stone from the tranche is lost).

Example:

We want a force that can do 7 tranches in a year ("Q3 style"). So, 490*WP is needed.

Assume we have 150*WOR-2, so 190*WOR-1 are needed in addition.
340 workers require 68 MGN, and in addition the MGR-5 and ASS-3
This 68 points requirement can be fulfilled eg. by 2*MGR-4, 10*MGR-3, 10*MGR-2, 10*MGR-1
So we need 68 ASS-points to handle the workers and 32 points to handle the managers. This totals 100 points.
A possible resourcing is 20*ASS-3, 15*ASS-2, 10*ASS-1.

In total, 33 managers, 46 assistants and 340 workers, costing 458.5 mil per year.
The maximum stone produced is thus 7*1,200,000*STO1 and variable cost 55 m/STO1.
(Costs excluded in the calculation are eg. setup costs, capital costs, workforce replacements, slack from changing sites, other inefficiencies, and topsoil removal (220 m/STO1 in the example)).


Building Company

Number of WP is calculated as in the above, but treatment is simple. Each WP just creates 120*BLD, putting BLD cost at about 10,000 m.
S-BLD will be split to BLD so that BLD price becomes 10,000 m, from the latest S-BLD issue price.


King moratorium on buying workers and managers from the market

I have great needs for me and my companies to utilize the info above and some types of NPC may be in high demand. I won't be buying anything today, and will set the Labor sells so that others can act first.

[rpietila]

Once GM/HM approves of the above, I will create the loot for the participants.

RNG results approved.

Monday 9th of May at about 19 UTC: County event solver real-time IRC session.

To announce your county plans and preparations, edit the announcements in Main Menu -> Counties -> Name_of_your_County

This was held, the time of course was January 19th, 1639 

The forces occupied Ironlock without issues and HH The Duke of North Face reinstated as Earl of Ironlock.

The problems ensued when his regiment was sent deep into Polonia in search and destroy mission against Prince Boguslaw. The increasing hostility of the local peasants did not stop the advance, but when we had already turned back, the large army sent all the way from the King of Polonia intercepted us and forced surrender. All the men, officers and CO Marquess of Grass were taken POW, losses were 7 troops. The weapons and horses were probably lost. This one is pending negotiations in the kingdom level. Despite having lived as neighbors for ever, we have not so far had diplomatic relations with the Crown of Polonia.

Also it was found out that to the south from Plath, a well organised county, lead by a Prince-Bishop, is found. Our forces turned back without provoking hostilities.

With Polonia first time showing some teeth, it is possible that our border there will soon find its natural course (barring war). With Sweden, there remains a host of open claims but they are not a pressing concern due to alliance. The border against Rossiya is only established in the OldDuchy, otherwise it remains much unclear. The borders of Grass and WhiteCross and what to find behind them, remain undiscovered.

Complete details on events, plus loot calculation, will be posted by Rak to the County Billboard ingame + summary here.

In before coronation, the Gift of the King of France is burning in my hands, wanting to get distributed to the most valiant of all the players!

Therefore, let the following players be gifted Jewels as follows:

HH Saddam of Ramsey: 1*DIA2
Sir Crichton, The Margrave of Plath: 1*EMEX
Sir Luigi, The Marquess of Rome: 1*DIA1
Lord Dr.C (ArticMine): 1*TOPX
Sir Mooo of Stonehaven: 1*TOPX
Lord Syksy, The Earl of Petrichor: 1*TOPX
Lord goin2mars: 1*RUB
Sir Cryptonic: 1*RUB
Sir kronicblazer of Grass: 1*SAP
Steppenwolfson: 1*SAP


The more numerous allocation of 1*TOP each is going to the following:
336, 334, 320, 405, 406, 384, 383, 362, 361, 304, 298, 295, 259, 252, 236, 232, 217, 216, 215, 214, 211, 210, 200

These players represent the most active part of the newer guard, some are from last year!

There are many Emeralds still in the vault. We are thinking what to do with them. Something fun for sure. All must go!

A preliminary result of the NPCC #3 competition

The New, last challenge for the NPCC - NPCC #4 is starting in 1-2 days

Rules to be added the soonest!

NPCC 4 is the last incarnation of NPCC competitive challenge. Based on the experiences with NPCC, the game core mechanism of Upkeep: health, culture and wisdom, will be revised to Clan Upkeep Module.

The new core mechanism (C.U.M) is not specified yet, but it will change the following principles in upkeep:
- All characters owned by one player may be grouped in the same clan, which has 1 account and 1 char_id for changelog.
- Having new characters becomes a restricted bonus which is administered by the system.
- Deaths will be calculated automatically, with this causing a mourning period in the clan account, but no larger changes.
- NPC hired by the player, must be fed and clad in NPCC style, but via the system commands, not separate accounting needed.
- The amounts of food etc, consumed, are the aggregate player decision, also their production happens in free markets since anyone can found farms intown, make better roads for starting farming outside of town, improve conditions in counties to produce more meat, start breweries, etc.
- Consuming will be made fun, with visible culture and wisdom bonuses showing positive progress.
- NPC salaries will be cut because they are fed by the employer.
- New NPC will be raffled annually to those already owning a certain kind of NPC and geeking them in good food. Labor would not sell NPC habitually (special cases possible), but players would sell them in the aftermarket since the random bonuses are often not exactly what the player wanted. This will make the NPC market a whole lot more action.
- The formulas will be balanced so that the consumption of wines, becomes important for happiness, and spirits for health, UND for wisdom, and without food, the NPC will quit your service, selling themselves to the highest bid in the market and keeping the money themselves (Town).
- WIS will start producing SCI.


Known rules so far for NPCC #4

Only changes will probably be made to Drinks, and those will be all the more sweeping. Since the Health, Culture and Wisdom values of drinks have been revealed, it is possible to grade the wines and spirits according to their true value. We want to preserve the simplicity of one act of consume = one point, and to keep this, the table showing the number of bottles will become quite an interesting one. During the period, this will cause the prices of wines to be reset to their combined usefulnesses, because the NPCC effect on the demand is so large (90%+ of eating characters are NPC).

[rpietila]

I am a little bit concentrating my businesses and one possibility is indeed to give the manor shares to DeptStore, who will soon merge with King's Farms, and will take the competition with NewFarms (whose success in these days can be participated in - S-NC is in the market).

Well, that kinda sucks because most, if not all, of the manor lords have been sustaining losses with the hopes of something good to come out of it in the future.

I am in no way forcing it, but there was already a case with a player needing to concentrate on other things, and both his Estate and County need to be reorganised. This is an option. Not the best option of course, holding on is much better in the game-success scenario.

[rpietila]

The NPC suits requirement in ClanChallenge is so large that I decided to work overtime and crunch all the numbers immediately to enable everyone to plan to their best. The profit potential for a well-planned and nimble operation is immense, and the TAI-items are completely linear in their payout, so everyone is exactly on the same position to make money, according to their skills and resources.

The numbers currently existing in each item type and their required numbers of each type of suit are listed in Google DB /SuitsNeed tab, freely viewable by all and current as of 3 hours ago.

The numbers are based on the design decision (from the first days of the game) that 15% of income is to be spent on suits (in fact, it was 20% then). 35% is to be spent on consumables and 50% will still be paid as salary when Clans comes - this includes rent. These kind of decisions will only be revised extremely slowly.

So we are in the position that the number of suits needed is 5400 and only 1500 exist (numbers ignore PC need and Unique suits). Suits can be converted from IC at the following prices:

(color, IC cost, approx mil)
red      144   10.08
orange 112   7.84
white     64   4.48
green     32   2.24
grey       16   1.12
brown      8   0.56

This means that tailoring is profitable in all stages, the profit margin is ample. However, the need for higher quality suits is much smaller than that of the lower quality ones. Prices may be pressured when the initial need is met.

Additional things to consider are among others:
1. The "labor suits" are priced in IC, so its fluctuations affect the profitability both ways.
2. TAI-7 may not be the best item now as it produces blue suits for a limited number of nobles, however the playercount is planned to increase by not a small percentage, at about the same time that it takes for a TAI-1 to promote to TAI-7.
3. Unique suits production is extremely limited until more TAI-8 get promoted.
4. It is possible to demote a NPC so undesired promotion can be reversed. This is currently an admin action, but will be a command "soon".
5. Tailors promote reasonably quickly, mostly 20% chance. Exact numbers are in item details or in Google/NPCtypes.
6. The influx of new tailors is a given, this increases the need for suits as tailors wear green+.
7. Also the other NPC numbers are on the rise - or perhaps not because there is an initial cost burden per NPC to acquire the minimum stock. Everything will happen very slowly, though, so dumping the NPC right when they (especially high level) will become prized assets might not be the best decision either.
8. The TAI-1 conversion price of 10 IC until the end of this year is peanuts, and a rise is most likely. It is possible to produce to stock. The unknown is when the module is live - I am going to Malla for a few weeks, which historically has been excellent design-productivity. The design is now "almost complete", which can mean anything. The development time should be very contained, perhaps a week for the "suit challenge".
9. If the module delays, the NPCC will continue to use suits, but excess production will meet declining prices (the NPCC can absorb infinite number but their profit formula requires the additional ones to come at a discount). The increased awareness of the importance of suits may cause the NPCC to bid more heavily on them, as historically they have ignored the suits even though they are the key to victory.
10. When the module opens, there is first a 2 year grace that the lacking number of suits will not cause penalty to the owner of the NPC. Then, according to my discernment (which will be communicated as it comes), the penalty will take 5-10 years to rise to the planned level approximately linearly. At the same time the happiness bonus for having excess suits will start from a higher-than-normal value and decrease to the planned level approximately linearly.
11. The NPCC remaining suits will be sold at market when the NPCC ends, so that the NPCC will get points for the money raised. The money goes to Town in the end. This procedure will be announced in advance so that at least 48 hours is given for placing the bids before the dump may start, and the total liquidation time is a year.
12. There is no planning to change the style of WOS-x1 to WOS-x2, so there will be only one model of fungible suit of each color for the time being.

I felt it necessary to disclose every bit of info there could possibly be, to make the playing field level. Crunch the numbers, make a plan and make money! Martti will be doing that, and King as well (if not for other reason, he has   s o m e w h a t   m a n y   NPCs to clothe, himself ).

When is the game going to be available for evaluation?

Unpausing the game in its current incarnation is hardly possible. To resume playing, we need to develop the new version, Clans. To develop it, we need a nontrivial boost to our team resources, and to have the resources, they need to sign up. This rusty old forum is the initial venue for these calls to action, but once the team shapes up, we will move to the TownMgn, TownCouncil and DevSlack channels or whatever works.

There will not be any game ready for anyone's evaluation, before we have decided to make it (and have made it). It may come as a surprise that a decision is needed now, when 'everyone is eager to have it ready', so I have tried to explain the reason for this need in the previous posts.

Faithful to my style, I have written about this wake-up procedure as a matter of life or death. But the analogy is actually very valid. Each morning, you either wake up, or you are dead. Crypto Kingdom is sleeping, and a certain procedure is needed to wake it up. The procedure is different from last time, when me and PJ force-marched a new platform when none existed. Now my will alone is not enough to both wake it up and get it to the next milestone.

What I seek to accomplish here, is to gain back the active players and rework the game community administration. In a few days, 20 people should sign up (4 so far). Then from this "general assembly", Town Council would be appointed, general plan drafted, roles and tasks appointed to the members, money raised, and all the structure made that is needed to support the growth. After this, game development.

General Meeting ongoing in Freenode IRC: ##crypto-kingdom.

NewCorp

This succinctly named corporation used to be the largest in the game by marketcap (S-NC: 50 bil). There is currently a large uncertainty factor in how to value land. It used to be that Town was selling an empty chapelry for 1 bil, but this will have to be revisited.

In thinking how to restart market making and thus make valuation for this company (needed to value many other companies), we ended up to a starting value that is 1/5 of the pre-pause value.

It is possible that this is way too conservative, just as yesterday the CON and HM02B100 starting prices were. But the market will decide! In addition to the properties listed in the company holdings, it owns 21 full chapelries, and operates NewFarms.

Also NewCorp has paid its dues and doled out an extra dividend

This is the time to buy land cheaper than it ever was.



The Hypothecary Bank in CryptoTown

The seasoned Bank had a rude awakening with more than a billion overdraft. This is now completely covered.

What remains in the assets and receivables side, is:

* 960 mil worth of outstanding debt, which has expiry dates in 1652...1680. All debt is secured, but the value of security has probably sunk below the principal. Also there is uncertainty when 1652(etc) will take place, so all this debt is now valued at 50% (480 mil)
* 114*CON are valued at (1140 mil)
* CKG and stock portfolio altogether (240 mil)
* Bank Building, plus all other assets and collectibles (250 mil)

Since the Bank has 1,000 shares of stock, its starting price in the market making is 2.13 mil per share. Even after covering the massive overdraft, the Bank shed only 2/3 of its M-denominated value during the pause.

Bank has now both paid its dues and doled out an extra dividend

The Bank is a handy way to leverage the speculations, and when the game resumes, it stands to gain from the loans.

Town Housing Corp (THC)

This company was unable to reset marketmaking, because the majority of its assets are buildings. Building pool payouts have not been adjusted, and unless they are, the situation will cause a massive windfall for owners (and new builders) of buildings.

Hence there are currently no offers. Providing them would be disingenuous because it's me who will likely decide how the buildings pools are treated.

The stock price used to be 670k, and the cash at hand is 100k/share. So with the buildings taken into account, the value should be in the range 250-670k per share, making this the best surviving company of the "great revaluation of 1647".

Dues were paid and a happy dividend given, of course

[rpietila]

A possible way to remove unnecessary insecurity from the game

Let's merge CON and CKG, so that the market decides in which proportion their holders are awarded a new token "CK", which is Town votes, ownership and dividend token. This will cause Town to become debt-free and we have a very liquid token to invest in. Simplicity gains back the value that we have lost because of uncertainty. With excessive torture of the rules, this is not even a fork (just a default), and simple majority suffices.[/b][/color]

First I will comment that I consider this proposal a perfectly viable solution to the current financial situation of CK. I do believe however that it can be improved upon in a way that respects the Crypto Kingdom social covenant regarding the fixed amount and permanent nature of CKG, and does not destabilize the collectible or unique value of items with embedded CKG, such as weapons, jewelery, commemorative coins, etc.  

Overall comment is that things can be done many ways and the "right way" is usually impossible to know both when the heat is on, and also afterwards. That is why I disclosed my moral compass #1 promises #2 future #3 fairness.

I think my proposal is a bit more structured to fulfil the promises, albeit it is possible to think my story does not really avail anything - default is default. For these guys, all the money needs to be distributed first so that Town factually does not have any, before default and restructuring is legitimate. Some others probably do not care about the promises or rules at all, in favor of the principles #2 and #3.

The future is difficult to know, and the most important aim, abolish Town debt yet leave it in possession of the money, that is fulfilled in both.

Fairness includes fulfilling the initial goals of the both groups of people, giving them opportunity for decisions, and equitable outcome in the restructuring. Here the tentatively proposed 90% for CON seems out of range:

* Council can decide to distribute everything to owners, so there is a minimum that a CKG is worth (again, I am listing this just for completeness)
* If the game would be liquidated by running the dividend scripts until money runs out, the result would approximately be that:
- 50% go to building owners
- 25% to CON holders
- 25% to CKG holders.
* The markets after the opening have assigned CON an average of 38.8% (now: 49.2%) of the combined market cap value of CKG+CON. In a simple merger, market cap includes the information needed to decide the ratio.

ArticMine proposed the eventual number of Town stock to be 60 million basic units. I was thinking what the suitable number would be and ended up in 5-10 million. Anyway we are close here.

Retaining a legacy role for CKG owners is not needed because everyone who cares about the game, will own CK anyway. So there will not be a separate group of CKG owners, just confusion. Rather let us keep CKG as a limited quantity resource (as is CKS, with the distinction that CKS can be created). Or flip the tables and decide that CKG from now on has fixed dividend. 

New constitution is needed and the ideas presented were promising.

[rpietila]

^ this.

500*RAF-4 given. Soon we will have the first raffle of 1,000 CKG. Feels like the 1400s once again. When the 1,000 was the unit of account 

[rpietila]

New Start(TM)

Proposal to:

1. Write a new constitution for CK;
2. Merge CKG and CON to one token;
3. Get rid of Town fixed liabilities (ie. CON);
4. Offer all holders of XMR-denominated private debt the possibility to pay back early at favorable rates;
5. Give the owners of land in 1-SE and B.9 the possibility to redeem them at a lump sum and consequently abolish extra tax;
6. Donate all OldDuchy land inside the Wall to Town ownership;
7. And use this basis for getting back to developing and playing the game and growing the community.

Without further details at present. In principle, I have sensed that (or explicitly asked) that out of the 13 largest CON holders representing 89% of CON,

3528 support
523 blank
841 not contacted
0 against.

It has not been discussed in the Town Council yet. The proposal needs a simple majority of CON and a Town Council majority to be accepted in the form proposed by me, or 100% of both CKG and CON holders in the voluntary form, or whatever is suitable, if proposed as a revolutionary action and a fork.

ADD: THE IDEA IS TO DISCUSS IT HERE.

HM rpietila II


My loving people


The tide of the ages has hit our most ancient Kingdom with its unstoppable power. When my virtuous father was in power, the strength of the Kingdom was unquestioned and despite our small numbers, we were able to demand tribute from peasants and foreign nations alike, including the 1,000,000 CKG.

During my 15 years in power, life has not been so simple. Growth pains, my insufficient capability of organisation, and difficulties in personal life (I am also 211 years and not the same as in the glorious years of my youth), are taking its toll.

If the leader of the nation is weak, all evils prey upon the peaceful people. After long and careful meditation, having the best interests of our people in mind, I have decided to abdicate in favor of HE Prince Crichton of Plath.

I have important, crucial, responsibilities in the management of the whole project. While there is the initiative for finding a CEO, there is no guarantee how long it takes, or whether the choice will be a blessing. I will have to be the de-facto CEO in the meantime (responsible of eg. finances), and also coordinate the development (PJ), do the design, and recruit the new CEO and train him. Having less time than before in my hands, the die fell on abdication, which not only eases my burdens, but also gives the whole game a new and surprising flavor, which I hope will boost everybody's spirits and make the sun rise over our lands again!

As I leave this high and noble throne, it will not be left desolate:

* Crown character will keep all the historical state items, construction resources, Wine cellars and public lands and buildings that are essential for the Kingdom. Enough gold items will be left to not make the King feel a pauper.
* OldDuchy character passes to the new King with all its gold, armies, horses and other things.
* Coinshop character stays in my ownership, and honors its promise that I will only get the dividends, and cannot sell out the principal during the game.
* New Department Store stays with me.
* Most investables including CON and ingame shares, I will keep. If the shares have special storytelling or other significance, they will remain with the Crown.
* I will be known as Zechariah #36 with the long title tba
* Other details will be decided/announced as they become relevant.

King is an important connector of the players, and a full time job in the current stage of the game. I trust in Prince Crichton whom I selected to succeed me on the throne, to reign in truth and for the success of everyone, rich and poor, current and future player, alike.

[rpietila]

Gamemaster Update 6

The suddenly announced abdication of the King is of course the main news today. I needed to put this plan in action because it is likely I am indispensable in the management side, but changing the King will hopefully turn beneficial for the game. So this was both necessary and expedient.

Also there is the New Start(TM), but that does not include any details yet, and the points have already been on the table. The reason we are not calling a vote and just.do.it. is that our rules do not know voting (except to elect the Council), so it is not a legal way of deciding things. Of course we do not want to bend or break the rules without knowing it is universally accepted. So this is the reason these proposals just float in here, and soon something is locked and executed.

The important CKG and CON markets have calmed down, therefore I will increase the Coinshop marketmaking depth as promised.

Currently CKG and CON marketcaps are the same, and this has raised the idea to marry them on equal terms, with both getting half of the new "CK". On average, CKG has even been worth more, which would nicely account for the additional value CKG would still have as a luxury resource.

Also still undone is the buildings windfall dividend, after which the building pool funds are repurposed to Town general fund. The dividend will be in the form of M regardless of the building usage. The past taxes are also forgiven.

In the spirit of releasing people from debts and taxes, tentatively B.9 land can be redeemed for 5,000 m/sqm and 1-SE for 10,000 m/sqm. If this is done, the land becomes normal land. (The extra tax is 700 m and 7,000 m, respectively, so in no case it makes sense to keep the land - the alternative is to give it to the Town).

I luckily do not need to burden myself with the RAF-4 allocation. The Royal project passed on to the King, so he will decide the worthy recipients of the tickets, and I'll help out with the technicalities of the raffling of his gold when the tickets have been gifted.

The old king left the Crown+OldDuchy character about 25,000 CKG but that is largely in non-tradable forms, and in the context of royal needs, is not that much really. I am looking forward to what the King decides to do with the balancing of his assets. If the Crown decides to list some royal treasures for sale, be sure to scoop them up, because it has never happened before, might not happen again, and only happens in limited quantity now.

It feels awkward to give away the Royal Palace, originally built with 1,000 XMR, then renovated with 1,000 XMR after the earthquake, and finally rebuilt with 1,000 XMR after the fire, all from my pocket. From the surface, it might seem that the XMR should just have been deposited away and everyone would be better off. But knowing history, my personal holdings were compromised and stolen, so without CK, I would not have anything anyway. Now at least I can give the palace to the new King!

All hail the new King! Let us see what name he takes

[rpietila]

Good morning ! A new day has come, and gold marketmaking is now 100% tighter, CON is 50% tighter. These allow you to move in and out of position with less slippage.

[rpietila]

New Start(TM)

The following is put on the vote in the Town Council, and for the majority acceptance of the owners of CON item:

1. The Town Council acknowledges that the 25x rise in the XMR/fiat price has put the Town in a position where it is credible to doubt its ability to pay the CON dividends if the XMR/fiat rate continues the rise, even if there is no other thing wrong with the game.

2. The situation makes Town fundraising and CKG and CON prices depend in the XMR/fiat price in an unwanted way.

3. Hence, to absolve the requirement to pay the CON dividends weekly, enable Town fundraising, and get the investment markets back on proper footing, and do all this according to rules, the Town will default on its obligation to CON owners.

4. Defaulting causes the Town ownership to pass to CON owners, and CKG to lose its vote power and right to dividend. It also causes CON to become the Town stock with vote power, but not have the right to fixed dividend.

5. CON owners create a new token "CK" by splitting CON 1:1000. This will cause 5,500,000*CK created, prorated to CON owners and item named CON will be erased.

6. The CKG owners are also asked to join to strengthen the new ownership. Those who own items containing CKG, will receive a dividend/spinoff of 5*CK per CKG. This will cause 5,001,815*CK to be created, prorated to CKG owners.

7. In total, 10,501,815*CK will be created, of which 52.37% to the previous owners of CON, and 47.63% to the owners of CKG.

8. There is no change to the items containing CKG except the loss of the right to dividend and the loss of votepower previously effected.

9. The ownership of CK will be the basis for the votes in the constitutional meeting.

10. Everyone who has land in 1-SE, may redeem it for a lump sum of 10,000 m/sqm. Everyone who has land in B.9, may redeem it for 5,000 m/sqm. This frees the land from the annual tax burden, ADD: which would otherwise be 7,000 m/sqm and 700 m/sqm, respectively. The redemption is done automatically instead of collecting the tax when it next time will be collected. It is possible to give the land to the Town instead in the meantime, or demand the redemption annulled (which returns the money and gives the land to Town) in 14 real-days since the act. ADD: Buildings on the land do not cost extra to redeem.

11. All holders of XMR-denominated debt, who are not sure if they can pay back when the debt comes due, are asked to contact the creditors now and work out a deal.

12. All unopened OldDuchy land inside the Wall is passed to Town ownership.

[rpietila]

New Start(TM)

The following is put on the vote in the Town Council, and for the majority acceptance of the owners of CON item:

1. The Town Council acknowledges that the 25x rise in the XMR/fiat price has put the Town in a position where it is credible to doubt its ability to pay the CON dividends if the XMR/fiat rate continues the rise, even if there is no other thing wrong with the game.

2. The situation makes Town fundraising and CKG and CON prices depend in the XMR/fiat price in an unwanted way.

3. Hence, to absolve the requirement to pay the CON dividends weekly, enable Town fundraising, and get the investment markets back on proper footing, and do all this according to rules, the Town will default on its obligation to CON owners.

4. Defaulting causes the Town ownership to pass to CON owners, and CKG to lose its vote power and right to dividend. It also causes CON to become the Town stock with vote power, but not have the right to fixed dividend.

5. CON owners create a new token "CK" by splitting CON 1:1000. This will cause 5,500,000*CK created, prorated to CON owners and item named CON will be erased.

6. The CKG owners are also asked to join to strengthen the new ownership. Those who own items containing CKG, will receive a dividend/spinoff of 5*CK per CKG. This will cause 5,001,815*CK to be created, prorated to CKG owners.

7. In total, 10,501,815*CK will be created, of which 52.37% to the previous owners of CON, and 47.63% to the owners of CKG.

8. There is no change to the items containing CKG except the loss of the right to dividend and the loss of votepower previously effected.

9. The ownership of CK will be the basis for the votes in the constitutional meeting.

10. Everyone who has land in 1-SE, may redeem it for a lump sum of 10,000 m/sqm. Everyone who has land in B.9, may redeem it for 5,000 m/sqm. This frees the land from the annual tax burden, ADD: which would otherwise be 7,000 m/sqm and 700 m/sqm, respectively. The redemption is done automatically instead of collecting the tax when it next time will be collected. It is possible to give the land to the Town instead in the meantime, or demand the redemption annulled (which returns the money and gives the land to Town) in 14 real-days since the act. ADD: Buildings on the land do not cost extra to redeem.

11. All holders of XMR-denominated debt, who are not sure if they can pay back when the debt comes due, are asked to contact the creditors now and work out a deal.

12. All unopened OldDuchy land inside the Wall is passed to Town ownership.

I have probed the support for this proposal, and while the support is not unanimous, there are no voices clearly against it either.

The discussion concerning the extra-taxed chapelries is unsettled, though. People hold diverging opinions about the generosity of Town in offering them the possibility to redeem the land against a lump sum, and some are concerned that they do not have the money to redeem the land.

As the fiscal officer of the Town, I need to uphold the Town's rights to collect its income, as it also honored its commitments to pay its debts, to the point of surrendering itself to the majority ownership and control of the owners of its debt (CON). Town is taking a severe blow here with a more than 100% dilution. Other debtors may likewise not enjoy the situation they ended up in, but like the Town itself, they have to deal with it, choosing from the best options available.

So to not cause unnecessary bad beelings, I will withdraw the proposal to settle the extra tax with a lump sum. What to do with it, and the back taxes from approx years 1641-1647, are better handled under the new Town administration and not bundled with this.

The Town Council has approved the NewStart(TM) plan. As to my knowledge, the majority of the holders of CON are also in support. If you are not, voice your opinion now in the thread.

I will come back in 10-12 hours and if the majority of CON holders are still in favor of the proposal, it will pass and be executed, and a General Meeting will follow.

ADD: This also means that there is no Town Council meeting today, nor ever again in its original form, founded in the 1400s. The Rule-Making Power passes to the General Meeting of the holders of CK, who will be able to rewrite everything with a simple majority. The other officials or positions who stay in power are the King, the GM and PJ. The General Meeting may change GM and PJ. King may change himself.

I am posting from IRC:

[8:29pm] Zechariah: Why such urge to do something to NPCC?
[8:29pm] hmc: finances are being heavily scrutinized atm
[8:31pm] moneromooo: Personally, I just wanted a clarification whether the town default would affect those. I just got pissed off at the mutliple (perceived) lalala I can't hear you.
[8:32pm] hmc: it's good to ask questions
[8:58pm] Zechariah: moneromooo: Your lalala is just that it took me a MINIMUM of 3 of your pleas to even realise that you were talking about the competition prizes for the controllers. What is obvious for you is not obvious for me.
[8:58pm] Zechariah: And yes I got pissed off for spending half of my total time allocation that day for the issue.
[8:58pm] Zechariah: Which did not even get any clearer.
[8:59pm] Zechariah: To settle the matter until the time there is a competent administration (see dictionary of legalese for meaning of “competent”),
[9:00pm] Zechariah: “ I do not take any position on the issue. “
[9:00pm] Zechariah: .end of Gamemaster statement.


This makes it exceedingly clear that until the new Town management starts to organise (in 1 hour or so), there will be no gamemaster changes to the anything that related to NPC or NPCC. We will get to handle this issue along with all the others after the NewStart(TM).

[rpietila]

Hmm.. for personal reasons I have to postpone the start until tomorrow.

The General Meeting will begin in the ##crypto-kingdom channel at noon. The CK item will also be created then.

[rpietila]

NewStart(TM) in effect

The rare use of 20 pt font is justified by this being the biggest change in the history of the game. Not only the former King abdicated, but also the Town has defaulted and all the rules have lost effect.

In this situation it is important to gird our great minds and work together towards the new governance structure, put the right people in right positions, and start working on the things left un-handled from the previous era of playing. As these are decided, we can move on to the next era.

CK began as a MEW offshoot. Some still remember the MEW (Monero Economy Workgroup), most do not. Now it is considered the prehistory of Monero. (At its time it was the breath of fresh air to the staleness of Monero, of course.) The governance of the MEW was based on 3 offices, all directly nominated by the general meeting of all votes.

- Operational Executive was like a Chairman/CEO, tasked to keep the organisation rolling, call the meetings, organise the proposals to be voted upon
- Members Executive was like the Community Contact, he was communicating, kept the registry, and also handled the funds
- Judicial Executive was needed when there was a case that needed interpretation of rules to continue, or similar.

MEW was just a platform, the actual actions were supposed to be taken by its members, organised freely according to how the members saw fit.

Now the succession from the MEW to CK becomes evident when we realise that the 3 first char_id's in CK belong to the 3 executives of the MEW, (in the order above).

It takes surprisingly long to grow a centrally-managed game to the point where it is possible it might function with divided powers. We can now legally do whatever we wish, up to the point of deposing the newly-appointed King and proclaiming a republic, or abolishing the Town and its council, to make a DAO in its place. Or a little more conservatively, move to the separation of powers doctrine, by defining roles to the:

- CEO
- King
- GM,

and moving away from absolute monarchy to become a constitutional monarchy instead. The previous rules would have hardly have deserved to be called "constitution", and were not.

I would wish that as we now meet (12 noon UTC, today), we would do the following things in roughly the following order:

- begin discussion of constitution and principles thereof, perhaps nominate a workgroup to draft it;
- find out the game (previous: Town) financial situation and draft the continuation;
- quick-draft the roles for the people in the transition phase, compensation;
- appoint judge/s to deal with the possible claims that players will file from the previous era of play; a usual claim will be a disagreement of the currency to be used in a certain payment (because of the difference of x10 in the result, depending on which one is taken);
- have a long and nice discussion about what do we want next in the game side, how to capitalise the transition to yield the maximum excitement and fun for all involved.

[rpietila]

Everyone remember that the 1650 quarter-millennial coin collection contest is not canceled

Gold midprice is now 5,500 m/CKG.

IC book price is 7,000 m/IC.

Silver needs to be worth 1/16 that of gold, so the conversion rate of silver is now 20 CKS/IC (used to be 2 CKS/IC).

So, IC costs 1/10 that it used to, and one IC yields 10 times the amount of silver.

 

Profit.

Convert silver as S1000 bars or TS164 coins (or the cutlery that goes for a fraction of what it used to cost as well).

Duty Free Shop IC conversion is open!!

The Devteam and Coinshop proudly present:

! 100% automated ladder market making !

The earlier chained commands feature has been simplified to solve the main use case it was intended to - having a self-replacing market making ladder.

Commands to be used by market makers:

BUYSELL item_id amount buy_price sell_price   // first places a bid, and when it is fully executed, places an ask, continue ad inf
SELLBUY item_id amount sell_price buy_price   // first places an ask, and when it is fully executed, places a bid, continue ad inf

As one command causes either the sell or the buy order to be active at all times, what logically follows is that it is possible to place the orders for all price points at once, and even if the market runs out of range, it does not matter - when it comes back to the range, the 2-sided market making resumes.

See example below:

BUYSELL CK 1000 8197 8255
BUYSELL CK 1000 8226 8284
BUYSELL CK 1000 8255 8313
BUYSELL CK 1000 8284 8342
BUYSELL CK 1000 8313 8371


SELLBUY CK 1000 8400 8342
SELLBUY CK 1000 8429 8371
SELLBUY CK 1000 8459 8400
SELLBUY CK 1000 8489 8429
SELLBUY CK 1000 8519 8459

// In the example, Coinshop has decided that the market making interval is 0.35% and density is 1,000 units of CK. The price points are calculated in a spreadsheet. The spread is 2 price points, meaning that when an ask is taken, the replacing bid is put 2 price points (0.70%) lower, and vice versa. When constructing the ladder, it is important to ensure that all price points are symmetrically used. (But even if not, it does not really break anything.)

The system is tested, works fast, and is already in use with CK (0.7% spread), CKG (2.1%) and CKS (2.4%).

We are looking forward to add a similar ladder to all the main investables and game intermediary products.

You can do it also with item types of your choosing:
- select an item type from the category listing
- select to show "all"
- go to the bottom of the page
- paint with mouse from bottom up until all the listing is painted
- copy (Ctrl-C)
- open googlesheets
- Edit -> Paste -> Paste Values
- do "text to columns" if necessary
- clean the data if dirty
- now you have the item data in your sheet
- make one column the "buy price" column
- make other a "sell price" column
- third is an "amount" column
- decide for each item, which price you are willing to buy it and add the values
- same for sell price, or you can also make a simple multiplier such as 3.14x and use that
- next column is the concatenation column
- use function =CONCATENATE("BUYSELL ",item_id_cell"," ",amount_cell," ",buy_price_cell," ",sell_price_cell)
- in the above, the cell references are cell id's such as B14
- use rounding if there are decimal values, they might cause issues
- copy the formula to all the items
- copy the final commands column to the game command line
- ensure that cursor is in the end
- shoot

This will make you a secondhand shop operator, who has bids on every thing, and instantly when they get sold into, the item is listed at a higher price. it is a moneymaking machine! Doing it first time might feel difficult but after some practice it's a 15-30 minutes job, most of which is thinking.

[rpietila]

Sorry for everybody whose PMs I could not have replied. It is because I do not have authority to grant you the wishes anyway. The following will define our powers and you will then have the chance to appeal the correct body.


Crypto Kingdom Constitution - Proposal

[rpietila]

Crypto Kingdom Constitution has passed in the first General Meeting.

The Constitution, as well as all the other documents, rules, laws and rulings, can be found in the CK Archive.

The abbreviated version below:

II General Meeting

The General Meeting of CK holders is called, if:
- the Board so wishes, or
- the Senate so wishes, or
- the owners of 10% of the outstanding CK-days so demand.

The vote-power in the General Meeting is based on CK-days. Only Houses are eligible to vote. Other account types are ineligible to vote. Voting by proxy is allowed. The General Meeting is public.  

The General Meeting may:
- Change the Constitution with a 75% majority in both 2 successive meetings minimum 21 real-days apart;
- Change the Documents with a simple majority;
- Appoint the Board members, so that each faction of votes gets to appoint members in proportion;

III Board

The Board determines the strategy and oversees the progress of Crypto Kingdom project.

The Board may:
- Appoint a Chairman from among the members;
- Appoint a CEO and decide her compensation;
- Appoint a GM and decide her compensation;

V Admin Team

The Admin Team is the link between the project team and the game-world. Admin Team conducts the operations that ensure the functioning game-world, they are "gods" of the world, and decide how the events in the world are solved.

Admin Team is lead by the Gamemaster, who appoints the other admins, decides their compensation and organises their work. Gamemaster is the supreme judge of the state of the game-world.

VII Senate

The Senate oversees the game-world and governs in-game happenings. The Senate may not raise an army.

Every house in level Earl or higher, has the right to participate in Senate as a peer. Other account types are ineligible. The vote-power is based on the CK-days.

The Senate may (including but not limited to):
- Make Laws;
- Appoint Judges for 20-game-year terms;

IX Additional governance

The Gamemaster decides the Rules, which are practical mechanisms and boundaries along which the game-world operates. The Rules are enforced automatically as part of the state of the game. Therefore, the players need not "follow" them - the Gamemaster follows them herself in conducting the world and its events.

The Senate makes Laws. Laws may decide about in-game governance and matters, and seek to guide the conduct in-game. The difference between a Rule and a Law is that a Rule may stipulate that an unpinned farm yields 1,000*VEG, and so it does. A Law may say that 10% of that must be given to the Town for the upkeep of roads. Rules are enforced by the system, but laws are not. So the VEG will be created if the rule says so, but the law must be obeyed voluntarily, albeit under threat of encounter consequences.

Rulings are decisions reached when there is a dispute. Depending on the situation, GM, Admins, Senate, King, Judges or Peers (alone, together, or in combination) may give rulings. The highest authority is GM, but she may refuse appeal, or institute a fee. Rulings, especially from higher authorities, form a case law.

X Encounter resolution

Encounters may be initiated by the GM or by the players. They refer to happenings in the game-world that do not directly follow from the rules. Encounters may require response, but may also be random events that are dealt to the entities without them being possible to participate in the resolution.

Players may initiate encounters with/against anything or anyone, if they find admin resources for the resolution. Admins may charge a fee for this. It is for instance possible to seek to kill another character and plunder his house, or go out to the fields in search for a specific artefact. Custom quests are also a sequence of encounters with a goal.

Encounters may not touch the player's M, CK or urban land ownership. Encounter resolution is an admin action that only takes into account the events, not their legitimacy. Aggression against other players is punishable by law, but whether the law can reach the aggressor, is an encounter in itself.

XI Dispute resolution

Gamemaster is the supreme judge of all grievances concerning admin actions, with automatic enforceability of her rulings.

There are various ways of obtaining in-game rulings, with variable enforceability.

XII Definitions

CK-days. House ownership of item "CK", multiplied by the real-days of the duration of the ownership, using LIFO (Last In First Out) method.

The wholly-bolded part is important now, since we already have the:
- Constitution
- CEO
- GM
- King

What we need next, are:
- Board
- Rules (by GM)
- Senate
- Laws (by Senate)

Therefore, let the Senate convene in IRC: ##senate, starting 2 hours from now officially (3 pm).

The following Houses may take a seat:
HOUSE   LEVEL   VOTES
ZECHARIAH (36)   20   2793510

There is currently no draft for any Laws that the Senate might pass, nor even the internal regulations related to the procedures to be used. Proposals may therefore be made.

The following 2 Gamemaster-hours are spent on making some Rules...

[rpietila]

First the GM posts important information regarding our new Archives: The persistent problem of not knowing the Rules is over! Everything can be found in the same place now. Today's update was regarding items, including the rules concerning CK item. Check it out! Also, the first CK dividend of 20 m/CK (0.25%), is handed out.

Second, as can be deduced from the Senate decisions, no Judges have yet been appointed. It is known to me that some players and ex-players have wishes to negotiate with CK concerning their earlier accounts, items etc. To handle such claims with experience and equity, the player assigned to it needs to have the time at hand, plus the knowledge of all circumstances. Such a player has not surfaced.

In this kind of matter, the GM does not have the resources to act as the first instance of justice. Therefore, I will regretfully ask the claimants to wait until the Judges are appointed. The Judges only have authority to award funds and items inside the game-world. If they rule that the game system should award compensation, then GM will be the final instance to decide if it will be granted. I will in this task uphold that according to the Rules of 1432, then in force, the Town Council has the power to make the rules. Therefore, the decision to sweep accounts that had been dormant for several months, after a grace period of an additional several months, was just and enforceable, and the period of time passed since the enforcement, further several months without claims, solidifies the Town case. If any claims have additional circumstances, they are considered before reaching the verdict.

Regardless of the above, all players who are re-interested in CK will get a package of their original ancient char_id and highest level obtained, plus additional goodies upon signing up. The specific inquiries will have to be made to the Senate. We really want you back!

[rpietila]

The GM will be posting more details as to where and how one may begin the Quest.

The King is awarding huge prizes, that is for sure. All the previous countryside events have been cancelled and you are ready to explore with all your characters and troops if so wished. SCI is used as a currency for "action points", the more is needed, the larger your force.

Planning ahead where to go and in what formation, does not cost anything, increases the chances of success, and please do it here in this thread.

Getting intelligence during the live chat encounters costs SCI.

Encounter resolution may award you anything you have asked for (or not), including a dragon dead or alive, but there also are dangers. Peasants have grown to ignore our rule, and borders are open for people to come from strange nations, who do not appreciate our customs. Luckily they can be recognised by the culture. So military encounter with its glories and sufferings might be encountered.

Depending where you go, artifacts, silver and CAN may be obtainable.

After enough plans are posted in the thread, the live solver can be had.

If you read this, no matter how feeble and ill-equipped you are, team up with others and ask for weapons etc. Then share the loot!

[rpietila]

There has historically been a market for some fungible ancient collector items. The going price for the most valuable gold coins so far (CR1400E, CR1430E with #exists of 19, 14, respectively) has been 10 mil and 5 mil, respectively, this week.

Even higher premiums have been paid for semi-useful items such as a COL for 420 mil (approx 20 mil today), a suit 300 mil, and Round Table gold bars for 250-350 mil (all at about same time).

There has not been a historical market for unique Royal treasures for the simple reason that the stable and powerful House of (Tavastia)-rpietila-CK did not need to sell the heirlooms. Commercial ancient items have been sold occasionally with meager interest. On the other hand, the liquidation sales of the TownSwipe were met with large interest.

Finding the unique treats has been difficult from the Item Types menu. They will be grouped to significantly fewer types in Clans; at present we will have to do with the current system.

A new command DUMP will be used in conducting dutch auctions (will be announced when online). It will allow to set an initial price, which comes down a set amount per real-hour until the item is sold or final price reached. The opposite is CATCH for a bid that goes up automatically.

The Royal Weapons Works Corporation (RWWC) reorganises

After the turmoil of the pause, the corporation is revived with 644 million in the account. Things could be worse 

Since RWWC business is very long term, no drastic measures are taken related to anything. A reasonably large current account is left, plus money invested to financials and fungibles with market-making. All the rest is given as an immediate windfall dividend to all shareholders, 150,000 m/share.

The RWWC themselves, makes markets in weapons, windows and carriages. It also researches new weapons. The CEO changed, and HM The King (Crichton) will start the actual operations when the time is unpaused.

DeptStore will start the stock marketmaking. Please note that this is already the 4th public company with automated market making. The companies are a good addition to your assets portfolio, because the yield more than CK, while being as easy to buy and sell, and liquid in small and medium sized amounts. Stock speculation is also possible since the market valuation may easily fall behind the book valuation even, in this era of quick asset price changes

HRH Prince Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK (the former king in the game)

To all new players,

We have had so many new players in CK that we may soon develop a subculture who does not even know about us old guard! That happened in XMR as well, where I noticed to my great amusement that players who had never seen me due to a few months absence, did not know me or care about what I say.

This is exactly what we want happening in CK likewise. Of course here it is less likely as I continue to have many key positions inside the game, just not the king.

What I came to write, though, was just the simple idea that many old time players still read this thread. They might appreciate if the new ones stop by and consider a few minutes to write about themselves, what characters they have created, what assets bought, what plans there are. I for one, would like to be able to give a welcoming gift as well, so please include your char_id also, it might very well be that someone wants to give you something!

It is not a huge time ago - less than a year - that HSH The Prince of Soul was giving 2,000,000 to each new player !

[rpietila]

Your cunningness the Marquis M.L., perhaps you can remind how the coin collection contest will take place, and is it Crown who donates the prizes?

[rpietila]

HRH Prince Royal Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, Marquess of Tavastia &c


Your Majesty,


Sir, I congratulate your righteous and efficient rule that is already showing the signs of new winds blowing over the dusty streets of our beloved town. Indeed, the initiation of your reign has been peaceful and inspiring, and also the Senate has started their work with earnest. I could not be more happy of the choice of my successor. Also the counties are feeling the warming rays of Sun shining on them, with their life-giving power, making things happen that previously were not.

Indeed, Sir, this is what I decided to briefly write to you about. My ancient homeland, the vast region of Tavastia, has a secret rule by the cunning Swedes. In letter, we have claimed the area since about 1490 or so (which they by and large do not contest!), but in reality the deep state of Sweden is operating there in full force, and has rendered my efforts to civilise the county and make it realise its full potential, to have no effect.

It takes time to realise the depths of operations of this kind. A friend of mine even put it thus: "There's a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman, and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot." He never got to expose the plot though, and besides it is common knowledge that peasants are subjects to fiefholders and so forth. But it got me thinking.

Being a king with the full potential of my vast assets, and the years of training and reigning behind me, yet having no throne, makes me wish to realise the remaining years I have, to the maximum benefit of my people, unfettered by the entangling diplomacy and horse-trading. I will therefore place my greatest emphasis for the time being, to liberate the Tavastians, my own people, from the bondage of the deep state of Sweden. This operation requires much and is not free, nor free of danger. I have great and secret allies, and the assurance that the Almighty also wishes the freedom of my people.

Therefore, be not anxious! Crypto Kingdom has proven itself and under your leadership it will thrive. The mutual benefits from raising the Tavastian peasants, numbering 5 million, will greatly overcome the temporary lack of having me guiding every step of my loving people.

特此奉聞,

I have been appointed to be the Treasurer in Finland. I will coordinate the efforts to bring back the national currency, the Markka, and we are using a CK-based account system to give Markkas out to every citizen who wants them, without compensation, as a way of basic income. I will continue to give my efforts to CK as well, just less time than before. The Markka system opens great possibilities for speculation by you who already know the strengths of me and those of the CK Ultima platform (which only needs to be stripped of features to accommodate a monetary system of an entire country). As soon as politically possible, I will integrate the possibility to buy Markkas for investment, to CK proper.

[rpietila]

Can you please elaborate?

Not much. I can summarise instead: I have a new project, which I have to accept because of patriotic duty. It is much tied to CK, even the software is a fork of CK. It'll consume some of my time, but I'll refund my CEO salaries (and those of PJ) in proportion. Also, this new project will become a great investment opportunity, which can be bought directly from CK.

In game philosophical terms, this is Tavastia county becoming independent with a forked software. Instead of active monero people, or gamers, the target market is all Finns. (No effect to the CK Tavastia county, yet)

[rpietila]

CK (item) dividend paid for the last week. 20 m was paid per CK, altogether 210 mil.

The announcement yesterday has not caused any change to CK valuation, neither to the up nor the downside.

[rpietila]

Zechariah, it seems you've added more to your plate just when you've just taken something away Can you perform the duty of a GM/DM for our Dragon Quest or does someone else have to come forward and take the reigns of those duties--and if so, are there resources available as far as maps, rules, etc.?

Treasurer of a country in a time of national emergency? Yes, it is an important position and affects many lives.

Among existing admins, the combination of Syksy/Mooo could do the event solver session.

[rpietila]

Finland is falling to open tyranny at a record speed. While I am coordinating completely peaceful measures to address the ongoing conflict with Mr. Janitskin, he today got a note that he is being wanted in custody in Finland (a country where he has not even visited for 3 years), for made-up crimes that he supposedly has committed during his time of not even being in the country.

In reality, they just want his web newspaper down, because it sorely sticks in their face. Finland was hailed as #1 in press freedom last year, when there did not yet exist any truthful media. Now as one is reaching daily audiences of 4-8% of the population, it is under the threat of closure by any means available to the totalitarian state.

Never mind it is not even in Finland. That never stopped the apparatus from sentencing me in Finnish court for bogus crimes very little connected to my person, nor happening in Finland.

The lack of lawfulness, of common sense, and even procedural ignorance, is appalling. Soon the truth is indeed such a treasonous thing that it is forbidden to think about in Finland and abroad alike.

[rpietila]

Zechariah's Journey: "Once a King, always a King," is our interpretation of the constitution, and we wish HM luck and success on his journey to far off lands, which are not only entrenched in censorship and hostility towards its own people, but who also fly their misdeeds under the joint flag of hypocrisy and progressiveness. May HM return safely to our lands and be a guiding force for change within our borders and abroad for many centuries to come.

Yes, technically retired monarchs still retain HM address, especially as the level is not touched either. How come that slipped my mind, perhaps was too eager to rid me of notional responsibility in preparation for the greater one.

To make matters simple, I will rule that it is fine to use plain rpietila (I/II) referring to my reign and that of my father, no honorific needed. I will continue to use HRH, which was bestowed on me in 1608 by my father, King rpietila I. This is to reduce confusion with His Majesty, the King regnant.

The address Their Majesties, will be proper to refer to both the living kings, the single His Majesty should be used for the current king only. I will respond to Your Majesty only if His Majesty is not present in the room.

Btw my name is Zechariah and it is good to use it after a lengthy period of being known as Tavastia. The last name is a concatenation of Tavastia (my county), rpietila (my royal house) and CK (the domain which the house ruled).

I would exhort everyone to read the rules from the Archives, since it is less likely I will publish much in the immediate future, so make sure you know the current ones at least!

The suggested usage of the Archives is that every important decision by any authority in the game (by the GM, judges, Senate, king) down to the level of individual peers and companies, can be posted there. Because the thread is kept free of clutter by self-moderation, it is not easy to get it bookmarked. So the decisions should be linked here as well. I am (currently) the one who archives them to the relevant collections in the thread and manages the interlinking. This duty is not what I particularly love, but the others capable of doing it are also busy, and after all I am the GM and it is most important for me to keep up to date of the game rules.

Other things I'd do if I had the time and authority, to spice up the game right now, would be as follows:

- Commoners do not yet get system-administered promotions. I can quickly appoint any admin and task her how to promote with
PROMOTECHAR char_id level year. Please volunteer.

- Every peer is granted a right to immediately promote 1 Knight. Please ask the admin who takes the task above, to make this promotion for you if you are not an admin yourself. For promoting a Baron (in your own peerage of your county), you need to convene with the King, because the quota of new barons is only 4 total. No viscount promotions just yet.

- I am interested to convene with HM concerning the peer promotions. As ruled in Rules, King may promote anyone up to Archduke, and GM does not have a veto. However, GM allocated the quota of such promotions available. I am very interested in having at least a Grand Duke in our kingdom by 1650.

- I would wish Marquess Syksy to organise the Coin Collecting Contest in collaboration with HM. That is a royal endeavor promised for 1650, that passed to the responsibilities of the Crown, but in my opinion the practical arrangements could better be borne by Syksy. In addition to other prizes that possibly are promised by the Crown (can't remember just yet), I will contribute to an equivalent of 1,000 CKG. I also intent to participate in the contest with my collection that (currently) lacks about 20 coins of the 197 gold coins existing. It is known that Syksy himself has an extensive and expensive collection of said coins, which makes him qualified to make the formulas that assess the value of the collections. Syksy may also participate in the contest and is eligible to win.

- I would wish HH SirJacket of North Face and 2 others be appointed Speakers of the Senate, with responsibilities that the Senate in Session bestows on them. I do not wish myself nor the king to be appointed.

- I intend to soon make division of the Town assets to be system assets (governed by GM) and Senate assets (administered by whomever they appoint).

- Please consider also the appointment of judges and defining their responsibilities. I can attend the session since I have some experience of the matter.

[rpietila]

Syksy, no need to follow it literally, unless the king says so! 

An important criterion for any contest or other activity is the admin capability to handle the grading. I might have thought to do it in a different way.

[rpietila]

It might be nice to offer special "pause" coins for the winners--though the 7 limitation might mean that it should be added to the Dragon Quest package to get it to # that gets it to a gold coin.

Gold Medal (GOM) is to be used for prizes and similar. Medals can be larger in size, and unique.

And I have donated 1,000 CKG for the purpose as well.

[rpietila]

This announcement has tremendous importance if you just read and understand it.

The negotiations in Tavastia have caused a following plan to surface: own currency empowers people, so let them have it!

The first platform for trading of the Bureau stock, will most probably be Crypto Kingdom Ultima Platform. It is only right that CK owners will become owners of the Bureau as well as CK, after all the ideas and systems used by the Bureau and in markka, have been developed in the context of CK and I have almost got paid for it!

Approx 5-10% of the free-trading part of the Bureau stock (which may be maximum 5% of the total stock) will be freely given as a dividend to:
* owners of CK
* those with wisdom,
using a method to be explained soon. This will happen no sooner than 48 hours from this announcement, enabling everyone to buy CK if they like. My wm have 9 hours quarantine.

[rpietila]

This announcement has tremendous importance if you just read and understand it.

The share is now created as a depository share. The free spinoff distribution as spoken about in the previous post, will take place tomorrow Wednesday, about between 4-7 pm UTC.
- A test item will be created and 1 units given to all holders of CK.
- This test item will be spoiled until its number goes below 50,000.
- Then 1*MKA is dividended to holders of the test item
- Zech is ineligible. His part plus the residual (total approx 30%) will be later given to those with wisdom, with weight on the middle class.

See the item here.

This free giveaway is the first distribution of the EB stock after the founder's stock+options plan earlier today.

The structure currently is:
150,000 shares "A" free-trading (incl these 50k), with votes and dividends
400,000 lock-in shares "B" with votes and dividends, will come free-trading in 2017-2018
500,000 options with no votes nor dividends, convert to stock in 2019-2021

Maximum number of total stock (incl all classes) depends on the number of users in the system: with 50k users it is 4 million shares (80 shares per user), with 5 million users it is 10 million shares (2 shares per user).

The currency, kansanmarkka, People's Mark, will be launched later this month by this organisation.

PRE-ANN update in the altcoins forum.

[rpietila]

One question: is the tax for a FOC account still 50 XMR?

I think there was discussion recently in the new Senate to reduce this fee to 10XMR.

This tax is payable to the "game" (use account #4) and is 10 mil by GM decision.

It is still possible that the admin doing the work needs a cut, which might be ~2 mil due to little work involved.

The 10 mil is compensation for the extra privileges that the account is promised to have for an extended time, unlike Houses (normal player accts).

[rpietila]

Yes I am also really excited about the coin collecting now

A piece of history.. coins date back to the earlier period of 1600, before the pause. So in otherworldish terms, to about March, 2015. That's a fair bit of time ago. For instance XMR traded at around 0.4 euros.. We were only the 102 ancient characters in the game, not 700 as we now do. The coins were made of gold, which was still having votes and dividends (in fact it only started to have the M dividends in 1520, the year names as T.I.E...)

When the then Prince of North Face saw my plans for items (which had not previously existed at all, in any form) and coins in all the myriads of types, he told: "mind=blown" and probably proceeded to sell some of his gold, just to hedge for my insanity.

It took several real-months from the beginning of coin trading until Ultima platform was launched. In the beginning, coins traded "p/o" meaning only the collector value was traded. Now we have practically made a full circle as gold is now so cheap, it is not a meaningful component in the price of the usual small-size coins. 

It was possible to buy a GigaPack of 40 collector's coins, and other packs were offered as well. The price for a normal 20-mintage CR-E coin was about 2-5 mil, but sometimes they fetched even 15-20 mil. The CR1400E was around 20 mil mostly.

* - *

I will help Syksy with this competition by making the prize allocation formulas. His part is to make the scripts that evaluate the goodness of the collections vs. each other in objective terms. My job is to ensure the prizes are distributed far and wide so that everyone can increase his ranking (and prize) in the contest by making well-planned purchases that do not necessarily cost much at all!

Also, in accordance to the original Coinshop pledge, 100 mil has been transferred to the prize pool.

[rpietila]

2 years, 700 players and over a million euro later, we're still here!

Yeah and not only that, one of our counties is in the process of breaking free, and has copied parts of our software for their purposes, and has given free-trading goodwill stocks worth more than 10,000 XMR to our players...

What if all the counties do the same? Don't we become rich?     

[rpietila]

[edit:from IRC:practicalimplications]:

So what happens when one of the counties breaks free without the GM's blessing (100 PRE)? Do we seize their lands and say Good-luck, Signor."  Or is the game to be a hub of exchange value?

Tavastia built their own system, Markkakanta, that is not compatible with CK basic economic principles such as time, NPC costs etc. It does support cooperation in the form of items and tokens transfer though. Markkakanta will probably not have land, but it will have financial assets and virtual collectibles. These can be transferred.

If some county wants independent + be part of the same system, then there is some need for coordination. If you do the same as with Tavastia, there is no much need for permissions - I don't remember asking them Well the CEO will lease PJ's work of course, but tbh Markkakanta could have been implemented with less expertise than PJ, since it is so simple and not even compatible.

Also, once Markka is stable, will there be help available for Next-County-Up?

I suppose there are people who'd gladly take a significant share of the monetary system of any country, in return for their help in setting it up Personally I am busy now to get it rolling but once it is done, it will be easier for others to do anyway.

I can't imagine the costs and expertise to get this running....Well, I can, but I can't imagine the process for arranging it without the necessary hand shakes and approvals.

I can't recall the exact day when I started with the project but it's probably about 26 days ago. It has been a reasonably busy thing and I don't yet have much to show for it. As Saturday draws to close, however, we should have:

- 90 pilot participants demographically weighted from all over Finland, different ages and sexes
- of these, 15 group leaders coordinating the effort of their locality or friends' circle
- of these, 5 area coordinators acting as hubs between leading coordinators and group leaders
- 4 leading coordinators with diverse backgrounds providing expertise, contacts and marketing
- about 2-3 experts pushing the usability of Markkakanta software
- web newspaper in Finnish in kansanmarkka.fi, 4 articles per day
- FB page and group with fast response time, other tools for team collaboration
- Event in rooftop sauna for "maximum 50 at the same time" (it lasts for 12 hours and more than 200 were interested in coming in FB and live)
- other full, half and part-time coordinators upon need, with levels assigned to each for ease of coordination
- at least 15 local shareholders in addition to the 100+ in CK
- Markkakanta working in browser/mobile with minimum features for the pilot participants
- physical certificates in 5 denominations security printed in color, to be distributed in the event
- Markka in the hands of 90 people who know how to use it and are eager to do it and invent more.

If we ignore the compensation by tokens that is possible to be printed out of thin air, shares etc, the cost of everything has been around 1,000-2,000 XMR. If I had less money, I'd seek to recoup the initial investment in 3-6 months but now it's not a big deal really anyhow.

[rpietila]

The system owned as a legacy: 16,750*CK, and this was decided to be sold according to the rules. So it was dumped to the bids. Check out the cheaper CK

Before that, the CK dividend of 10 m/CK had been distributed.

[rpietila]

I'll post the prize formula soon. In each category, there will be many prizes, so boosting your collection by a few or just one coin may raise the ranking by some notches and really make up for the nominal price of the coin

Please tell me if Zech, Soul, or Coinshop own coins that should be listed for sale. I am dearly pressed with time but will always act if there is need.

[rpietila]

Oh this Tavastia-land is cold and hostile. Luckily the peasants are surprisingly eager to join our grand experiment of giving them a debt-free currency as basic income. Following the journey is easy from CK system, as both the stock MKA and the currency unit MK are in Favorite Items.

The stock will rise in value as usual. With the currency, however, the bulk of value appreciation is coming via splits, increasing the number of units you own, instead of the value of one unit. This is useful for currency, to retain its value. Splits are administered to the "MK" item as well.

For those who think in terms of the globalist "money" (even though it is debt, which used to be the opposite of money, but oh well, lol this 1647 is not the same as the golden age of humanity...), the Euro, it is made easy because 1 MK = 0.05 EUR.

I like these early days, they are very special. I have made 9 investment suggestions ("calls") in the last 12 years. The worst realised a loss of 20% but 8/9 are well on the black from the initial day of recommendation to present, including gems such as Bitcoin in 2012. My personal portfolio has done even better because I promote only after the investment is already good. The flipside of this is - I also make personal losses that the clients don't even know about, in the search of good investments.

Let's add MKA and MK to the list. Prices (EUR) were 1.25 and 0.05 upon recommendation.

[rpietila]

Cross-post. The freebie MKA given to the owners of CK are now valued at about $100k.

Update 2016-10-19

One more basic income round was distributed today, raising the total issuance to 232,000 MK. The target price per unit is 0.05 EUR, and the actual price in the sole (as far as we know) exchange is 0.0102 XMR (0.062 EUR). The market cap is therefore 11,600-14,300 EUR.

The stock MKA also had a distribution round today, "CK #2". This causes the 50,000 freebie stocks to be fully distributed ("Office" holds about 600 for claims purposes). In total, the number of stocks entitled to dividends and votes is 620,879. More are for sale by the Bureau, but only against a payment in MK (20-25 MK/unit). Since the issuance of MK is so small, not much can be bought. In CK, the price of MKA is 0.310 XMR (1.88 EUR) and the market cap of the Economic Bureau ("central bank" of the Kansanmarkka economy) is 1.2 million EUR.

We now try to get the pilot users to actually function as an economy. We have people who are interested in buying MK and MKA, but it is hard to get anyone to sell.
- Communication between piloters is the first issue to be tackled.
- Markkakanta account system is strongly developed to include the promised features that mainly exist as code.
- As much basic income will be doled out as possible, with only the restriction that the price may not dip from the target of 0.05 EUR.
- We continue to offer MKA and B-series shares cheaply to the users.
- Clearing system for both digital and physical currency is being developed and we have already contacted payment processor.
- A new batch of certificates will be designed and issued, estimated 50,000 "banknotes" by the end of November.
- We also seek 2500 users by the end of November.

It is a pleasure to report this Please ask / comment whatever you wish

SILVER FEAST



Now is the time to buy silver coins!


The char_id=4 "Town" is given to the Senate to manage. Only very little items were taken by the "Game" in the distribution, namely money, stocks, and half of the silver hoard that the Town had collected as 20% import tax from the Ancient coin owners.

So all coins from TS136 onwards are for sale in a massive DUMP. Including the key dates with less than 20 exists.

Please don't make my effort to go in vain, set up your bids or CATCH commands and scoop up the goodies. And don't think that "ohhh... XMR is $10" because it is NOT - $5 is closer, so if you were willing to pay 29 mil for a rarish coin last spring, 0.8 mil now is significantly cheaper, not only in XMR terms but in all other terms as well.

[rpietila]

The prize pot of 100 mil ("and much more") of the Coin Collecting Contest of 1650, will be distributed to the different collections as follows:


The Historian for GOC - 30%
The Cornerer for GOC - 15%
The Hoarder for GOC - 15%
The Historian for SIC - 14%
The Cornerer for SIC - 7%
The Hoarder for SIC - 7%
The Historian for COT - 6%
The Cornerer for COT - 3%
The Hoarder for COT - 3%

Among each category, there will be many prizes: up to 20 collections (in case of Historian for GOC) may be awarded a prize. Even if individual prizes by necessity are not that big, this makes the addition of only one or a few coins, increase your prize. I hope to be able to publish the exact prize schedule soon.

Also the collections by no means become worthless after the contest, since the contest is held every 25 years! This is rather a long-term investment Not to even mention the real collector value that is formed when 100,000 players are trying to procure collections from these coins with mintages ranging from 7 pieces to a few hundreds at most.

The firstcomers joining the game the very first days, have an average char_id=20. Therefore, their multiplier, sqrt(20), differs from the multiplier of the latest-comers (average char_id=500) by a factor of 5.0! This means that a new character will actually beat the old character with a collection only 20% as "good"! This will certainly make some interesting results! I would wish that the multiplier be calculated from the House char_id, because if not, then I among some other players and FOCs will get unfair advantage (my current char_id is #36, but original was #1).

I am sure Syksy will open up the formulas for the scoring of the collections a little. They are one of the very few things in this game that I don't understand, which means others might need some help as well 

* * * * *

Check out the DUMPs of SIC from Office (previous post). DUMP price decreases every hour and you don't know how low we are ready to go

Coinshop will also shed some GOC soon with a similar method. It will be especially good for Hoarders and Cornerers, since Coinshop has accumulated a large percentage of some coins, and in the long term they will all become rare and valuable, but now are going for cheap + (for the first time in the 1650 contest) you will get prizes for owning more than one!

Furthermore, Department Store will seek to offer its valued and sometimes even unique(!!) COT. Only COT may exist in quantities less than 7 tokens. The minimum for GOC and SIC is 7 coins upon mintage, and it any of the GOC/SIC drops below 7 coins existing, it will be reclassified to a different category.

[rpietila]

Check out the GOC and COT well now! I promise there are some really nice offers hidden in the asks.

Some rumor that a certain batch of stolen gold coins from the ancient times might have been found as well...

ADD: Also a few of my chars have added bids

[rpietila]

Wow guys I can't believe you are letting them go THIS cheap...


Office is dumping their silver hoard of ancient coins that were taxed as 20% import tax during the 1300-1500s.

The dump has gone so far that:

TS136, the oldest silver coin and one of 10 oldest items existing, is going for 1,039,100
TS142, only 13 coins existing, so the rarest of TS coins and quite old as well: 3,250,000
CS1614E, a key date as only 10 exist, for an unbelievable: 1,000,000

Gold picks:

CR1508E, the fewest existing of the ancient CR-E coins (12), now ask only 4,800,000
CR1631E, not a fancy year but a CR-E with 28 exist, just 105,000
CR1436E, a really old and mintage just 40: 213,460
CR1632A, a rarity from King's death year: 499,999

Copper token picks:

QJB1625: some day, these will be as the GJB1450 is now... 50,000
GJB1450: 2,258,000   

[rpietila]

Coin Collecting Continues! * * * Collector's Gigapack 30-40 different coins for 40 million!

HM has been active during the various years, resulting in a wealth of different coins, and has tried to find the way for getting his coin stash to the hands of players at no hassle to him.

We are starting the Collector's Gigapack. What it means is that you get 1 coin each of the types that HM has 3 or more coins. This should result in you getting 30-40 coins (the exact amount varies, and can be checked yourself!)

The value of the coins we have used in the calculation is as follows:
- HM1500J = 10 mil (they are sold separately for that price)
- Any coin that has "existing<=20" = 4 mil
- Any coin that has "existing<=40" = 2 mil
- Any coin that has "existing<=60" = 1 mil
- Other coins = Bonus (no value)

This calculation is very affordable and should value the Collector's Gigapack at 50+ million.
(7 coins currently are existing<=20 + the HM1500J = 38 million)

But we are offering it for a fixed price of 40 million! A great way to start your collection or gain duplicates for investment at bargain prices.

The offer stands continuously, and we are constantly adding new coins to make it worthwhile!

This is how it started, and man, that is a long time ago!

Hypothecary Bank rumors...

Coin collecting has spread like a wildfire in the Kingdom. His Majesty alone has sold 14 gigapacks, each containing about 30 coins of the 128 listed. The value of the collectible stock of coins (premium only) has been appraised at 11 billion. It consists of 10,000 instances, so an average coin is valued at about 1 million.

CR-coins have found even greater favor than collector's coins in many cases: at least 3 of them have last sold for 20 million! His Majesty alone is rumored to have spent 100 million in acquiring several CR1400E coins, which he believes will become the most sought after coin when the market settles. It is not hard to believe so, because it is among the lowest mintages (20) and the first coin ever minted, and it was minted from the first gold ever mined, in the first year of the game, 18 years before the game started accepting characters (except His Majesty who minted these coins and gave them to the designer companion The Earl d'Armagnac, MG-3, as part of the initial gift of 10,000 CKG), and 30 years before the Most Ancient CryptoTown was founded!

But the rumors concerning the Bank are scandalous to say the least! It is commendable that the Bank has for all these years hosted a Wine Cellar, and is the 17th most cultured character surpassing many Nobles, and ...

WHY is it so difficult to just spill it out??!

The Bank has - supposedly - cornered the supply of CR1569E gold coins, due to the normal rule of receiving 20 of them if buying gold that year so that the amount is divisible by 100, and being the only buyer. That was the year when there was the solvency crisis approaching with Grand Hotel and ABC Corp, and (it sounds incredible now), Grand Hotel was actually put in a receivership, and ABC technically still is. The Bank bought gold with the money it did not want to lend to the overextended debtors.

But they went to the vault to get the coins, and found only 10!! An investigation was conducted, and only then me, the CEO, notified. What's more, they marked the 10 coins with a mint mark, so that the thief (if such exists, and is found) would be caught for having illegitimate coins not having the mark.

Well, it's hard to wrap your head around this. For now, the 10 coins are hosted in the Royal Palace; the security of the Vault-cum-Wine Cellar is seriously questioned.

I don't usually ask for advice from the stockholders, but when I do, I am totally puzzled. The large ones: King, James, OZ, iluvbitcoins, Foreign Investor 1, please?

Originally few players had more than 5 or so different coins(!) The Gigapack and some other similar offers by other players, are the reason why some early players managed to collect complete series of coins early on. The collecting did take a lot of time and possibly money as well, unless the player also had something to offer for sale. 4 mil was an acceptable price for a "CR-E with 20 mintage".

The Bank also found that their coins were lost. Since then, there has been an odd CRB1569E with only 10 existing. This is the story.


CR1569E - The Bank gold coins were found!

It is still unknown what actually happened, but now, a considerable time later, the 10 remaining 1569s, the ones without mint mark, resurfaced!! 6 were raffled with tickets in proportion to CK ownership, 4 were deposited, and still are, in LotRaffle.


LittleFlock is selling their CR1569E to a deserving buyer

Sadly for collectors, the "OWNS CR1569E" gives the following:
LOTRAFFLE (254): 4
FLUFFYPONY (21): 2
ZECHARIAH (36): 1
HS-S3 (252): 1
J-CORP (375): 1
LITTLEFLOCK (410): 1

These are not the guys who will sell their treasures for cheap...

Little Flock is a fellowship of persecuted Christians who fled from Germania in the 30s, and have taken refuge here. They are now putting their gem for sale as a DUMP with the following terms:

Starting price: 25 mil
Reduced per hour: 0.5 mil
End price: 10 mil
Duration: 30 hours.

If 25 mil sounds like a lot for a coin, the mintmarked pair CRB1569E has the same ask (and both have only 10 exist).
If 10 mil sounds like too much, there are 13 GOC items with that or higher price (and you don't probably get the idea of having the full collection ).

[rpietila]

GM update: Several things such as CAN, BLD, STO1, IC, SCI, have not reacted to the XMR price drop in the last weeks.

These come into being as a product of NPC work, and NPC work price is a GM decision which closely follows the fiat price of XMR.

So in essence: these things are now at half price that they should be.

I will wait for a full 12 hours before starting to buy them myself.

All this info should have been common knowledge all the time, and you should have been able to make money with it, but since you have not so far, I tell it here

Please hopefully King will link GM postings to the Billboard.

Zechariah Loves Coins.

One of the most fascinating aspects in the whole of CK is its rich history in coin collecting, in all of gold, silver and copper.

When Crown and my personal holdings were divided, I received only the minority of gold coins in the royal collections.

I will now start buying more of them. I feel the emergence of Kansanmarkka and similar things will soon have an overflow of users to the parent Crypto Kingdom, and this kind of things will grow in value the most. Even the coins with "high" mintage will have value when the total users number in millions. It is interesting that hoarding has not become more prevalent even after the gold price crash when CK (item) spun off.

I also enjoy telling my plans beforehand so that everyone can take advantage

[rpietila]

COINSHOP GOLD COIN PRICES UPDATED


In a 4-hour effort, Coinshop has updated all gold prices using BUY/SELL, BUY/SELLCKG, and DUMP/CATCH.

All coins now have a bid mostly up to the total amount of #exist, and many have a catch. We are willing to bid up to 4 mil for quality coins.

As for asks, all coins we had are now listed. The market is (again) full of bottom prices and dumps abound as well.

Especially:

The recent Chinese Zodiac coins (4 of them) are listed for dump. They will reach their bottom prices near gold price in 5 days, and the remaining coins will be smelted as per rules. Of course I don't really believe they'd go that low - the existing Zodiacs command brisk prices of up to 1 mil, and the Zodiac mintage is restricted to 88.

We pay well for all the coins we don't own any instances of.

We rated 13 coins to be "1st rate investment coins". None of these we owned before, and they all have a mintage between 7-20 and are the most coveted in the market. And we also want them now!

Coinshop is #122 so feels eligible to participate in the contest, to win back a fraction of the 100 mil we paid to the prize pool

GM announces: no new coins of any type will be minted before the competition ends. Feel free to hone your strategy.

...even if it sounds crap at first.

It may look crap I admit, but what is wrong with our sound?

Lol dude.....
You need more people helping you. The towns are mostly black and white only the center and surrounding areas habe pixel art houses. I want my house to look like a house not a black blob xD Can't we help at all ? Like I'm no programmer or design expert but isn't there anything we can do ?

Sure The IRC (freenode ##crypto-kingdom) is the way to get yourself known and offer to help. You will soon spot the nicks of people who actually breathe this game, including djjacket, Syksy, moneromoo and hmc. And me, Zechariah.

GM actions concerning gold coins (GOC)

Since 1600, 3 out of 198 of the gold coins are insufficiently distributed to be classified as "coins". The remedy is taken as follows:

HO1600J is reclassified to GOM and will resume its status as GOC when more distributed (had 1 owner).
HC1600D is reclassified to GOM and will resume its status as GOC when more distributed (had 2 owners with one holding 39/40).
Soul agreed to DUMP one more of CR1521E, after which it will have 4 owners and retain its GOC status. The dump is a 2-day express dump from 10,000,001 to 1 at 200,000 hourly decrease. After this, Soul will resume his policy of selling them at 10 mil apiece until changed.

Zech has a bid waiting at 5,000,001, grab it while you can

The recent Chinese Zodiac coins (4 of them) are listed for dump. They will reach their bottom prices near gold price in 5 days, and the remaining coins will be smelted as per rules. Of course I don't really believe they'd go that low - the existing Zodiacs command brisk prices of up to 1 mil, and the Zodiac mintage is restricted to 88.

These are now at 78,000 per coin and I have not the slightest issue to buy them all when we hit the lower point. (Or even now but decided to let you take first... )


Overall, coin collecting is most profitable if you have the patience to wait. The situation with Soul above is not the worst of all to be in. Unfortunately I as King did not have any 20/20 full sets as they were only minted in years (1400-1599) when someone else had action in the market.

[rpietila]

GM announces: no new coins of any type will be minted before the competition ends. Feel free to hone your strategy.

Promises... should not make them...

Description
TS-series silver coin of 12 CKS.

Note
The TS-series has completed with 30 coins over the period from the 1360s to 1650. The emergence of investor bars (S1000) has made this redundant. One was given as a free dividend to every character with a positive M balance. The next silver collector series will be 1 tr.oz. coins (31 CKS) sometime in the future. Thank you!

The spirit of the promise is not broken because everybody got one

My house makes 0m now

I edited it and saw and "yards" I made it say 500 and saved it to see what it would do. Now it says my house makes 0m I only changed it to see what it would do. Otherwise how much I know ? There no explanations or guidess I was trying to figure things out on my own. I dont Eben know what I've done yards ? Yards for what ? I think ot was 100 yards whatever yards is. I can't change it back it says I need builders credits to build a new building. What is going on ? If I habe no builder credits then why did it let me change it in the first place ? Think it is a glitch.

Actually, the building module should be disabled completely so that nothing could take place now. The subgame is not open. Doing anything else except (perhaps) trading a lot in whatever condition it is, may corrupt the DB.

I am sorry about the seemingly-abrupt disappearance from the scene here. Yesterday was a hectic one:

Facebook videolink how one of my closest collaborator escaped indefinite prison sentence (13 years demanded).

[rpietila]

Hello, GM speaking. As per request, I outline the following:

1) Everybody and every character regardless of type (House, FOC, Corporation) is eligible. Only Institutions (Senate, Town, Church, Office, pools, University, lotraffle, etc) are not.

2) The char_id for the scaling coefficient (sqrt(char_id)) is determined as being the (first) char_id of the House of the controlling player, in case of non-public companies. If the company is public, it is the company's (oldest) char_id. GM has previously ruled Bank to be public and Freemasonry to be non-public in this regard. GM, or hopefully soon a judge appointed by the Senate, will rule it. For the purposes of the competition, the organiser may also do it.

3) Therefore, the following examples show a few of the "scaling char_id"

- Crown: 1 (despite changing of the guardian to #130)
- Zechariah: 1 (original House was 1)
- Coinshop: 1 (originally was Royal House business (Crown=1))
- DeptStore: 1 (as being a 100% owned business of a character already judged to be 1)

- TownHall: 43 (as being a public company, it is not reverted to its owners that of course are all more ancient)
- NewCorp: 60 (a bought ancient char_id hurts you now!)

- iluvbtcfoc: 34 (as ilovebitcoins)
- GoD: 2 (as HG the Bishop)
- nikke2: 50 (as nikke1)

I think you get the point. This list is not exhaustive.

Note that because of these, nearly all of the top 3 places everywhere were vacated!

LITTLEFLOCK (410) -> 410
GSIC (395) -> 395

Corrections in text.

[rpietila]

Some might have read my recent post history, including how I was threatened with medical incarceration in Finland, and escaped with my life, leaving everything behind. The actions were definitely dramatic, but the effect sounds more dramatic than it is: I had lived in Estonia all the time, and in fact I only stayed in Finland about 28 hours, but that was the last 28 hours of Finland for a long long time.

I have ceased comparing Finland to Soviet Union, because in the latter, the people at least were still able to understand they were being lied to, in Finland this faculty is blotted out from the collective understanding of the people, they being unable to even consider the extent of the official lie.

I have ceased comparing Finland to North Korea, because - let's face it - our information about North Korea solely comes from the same source that is hailing Finland as the best country in the world. With the experience from 35 countries, I cannot immediately recall a more Orwellian place to live than Finland. So by logic, it is at least possible that they have lied about North Korea as well. (Few people, even now, years after the event, comprehend the extent of their lie about Libya and Col. Gaddafi.)

The loss of my family is a shock in the short term, but in the long term it is very good for CK, the other projects, and freedom in general. I won't be having family troubles until:
a) Finland is free, or
b) I die fighting.

And I have all the intention to liberate Finland (Tavastia), and none of the intention to die. Unless the enemy accomplishes the latter, I will accomplish the former. Not alone, of course, but you get the point.

This creates a tremendous opportunity even for those who estimate my chances of winning to be slim. Per the standard EV theory, the payout in the winning scenario just has to be correspondingly higher, and in CK and MKA it definitely is!

Is there any agenda for senate today?

[rpietila]

Post-fact Notice on Market Activities

Whereas,
- The peak valuation of CK (excl depository share "M") has been 1,900,000 XMR (362 real-days ago);
- The valuation now (excl "M", incl "MKA"&"MK") is 120,000 XMR;
- The game has progressed in the said timeframe, such as 6-fold number of accounts;
- I have no intention to let the game fold (and when I recently tried, it did not happen anyway);
- I have suffered terrible losses in the last 2 weeks such as the near-incarceration of my collaborator, near-loss of my own liberty (and possibly life), and realised loss of my family of 14 years, and
- Everyone is doing just fine, including me,

So, therefore,
It is a good time to buy CK-related assets and I have bought 250,000,000 worth of assets today (to #36) including:
- CK of course
- MKA
- MK
- S-PGC
- many other companies
- gold
- silver
- BLD
- ...

It seems Crypto Kingdom with this history and this valuation, continues to be an out-of-the-money call option to everything good, with no expiration date.

[rpietila]

TIME will be UNPAUSED

(I got this conviction after buying the assets, just telling that no one would think I am conducting the game to my book.)

The unpausing will in the beginning only cause the time to start ticking, no other immediate effects. We will enable the scripts that are low-maintenance and therefore possible to be reinstated, despite my time constraints.
- The first such script is 0.50% monthly (real-daily) overdraft interest.
- CK dividends will become annual (real-weekly).
- Others will be announced prior to them taking effect.

I will now trust that the King and other admins communicate the GM decisions such as this to the Billboard etc.

[rpietila]

The Wizard (no, not Zenon, the other) is summoned tonight in the (most) Ancient & Royal Palace of Malla (Town Residence of the House of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, Old Town, Central Square 1).

Among duties that address to breaking out of the beachhead in Tavastia, the discussions and work concern the mainland as well.

[rpietila]

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.)

[rpietila]

Since that might be coming, perhaps stocking up on anything that is consumable, is not a stupid idea....

[rpietila]

[GM] I confirm that there will be a possibility to consume a great lot of consumables (food, distilled beverage, wine, small drink, wisdom) before we move on to the CLANS, and so that the consumed amount will have a direct effect on the clan_head:health and possibly the starting health of the clan as well, wisdom, etc. (Wisdom is not to be shunned, since 4,000 mil worth of MKA shares was recently doled out based on char:wisdom).

The mechanics of the House Weekly Challenge were almost completed last June prior to and during my holiday, it was other events (pause, Rak quitting, XMR rise, CON crisis, KMK) that delayed the whole thing so far.

Getting the best starting stats for that are important.

We will close down the NPCC game in connection with this "one time challenge", even as it takes place before Clans is officially out. As you remember, original idea was to launch Clans and make the NPCC empty their stocks to the willing clans in 2 gameyears and then count the money, which determines the winner (of the 4th Non-Player-Character-Controller competition).

Now, we will have time to do it now (with both CCC quest and Dragon quest completed). I have not been able to specify the detailed formulas yet, possibly will soon, possibly not, but anyway you should consider this as a Siege event with all supplies relevant to the survival of your House.

The NPCC should start making the plans and listing the stuff for sale. The owners of the NPCs should consider how to feed and clothe them (buy the stuff as it becomes available).

At current external exchange rates, the "peacetime" values of food and clothes articles should be about 1:5 of what they "used to be" pre-pause. But this is not peacetime.

"Favorites" has been redefined to include some of the most relevant items.

The Quest solver date is not decided yet.

[rpietila]

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.

[rpietila]

Yes, they are good, and around them I possibly mentioned about the actual clothes requirements for each type of NPC as well. As a rule of thumb, the entry-level guys need 2 sets and higher level need 3. The requirements are logical (even if you don't find the exact spex, I will find it when needed and enforce it).

WOS-G (brown) Peasant - Manual outside worker
WOS-F (grey) Servant - Manual inside worker
WOS-E1 (green) Artesan - Craft worker, better suit for the poor
WOS-D1 (white) Academic - Academic work, plus eg. chef
WOS-C1 (orange) Festive - Better suit for rich
WOS-B1 (red) Merchant - A few positions only

These will be used. Since all suits can also be converted from IC, that will act as the guide for pricing.

[rpietila]

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

Today's been a productive day as I first dismissed Earl designbyheart (wizarddeveloper) from my presence in Malla, and then admitted TMA Princess Roopatra. The conversations with the latter have made me in favor of the following idea:

We open a new module On Top of the World, consisting of 3 dynamic HoF-lists, namely:

The Happiest
The Most Productive
The Wisest

The lists will be generated based on a variable in House stats, which accrues by:

Consuming Health/Culture products (The Happiest)
Consuming BLD (The Most Productive)
Consuming Wisdom products and SCI (The Wisest).

In principle, every consume yields points according to the existing formulas, incl. variety and frequency bonuses.
These are then modified based on:
- declining marginal utility modifier (already present in consumables' variety bonus)
- House challenge modifier (based on House level, Lx, with bigger multiplier for low-level Houses)

The variable also has a half-life, the value decreasing 2% per realhour (38%/realday, 97%/gameyear).

The approach gives the following benefits:

- People can get their name on the list, which is fun. It completely clears in a few days, making room for others.
- The most active people will have the chance to make themselves known eg. for promotions, which can be given by gleaning the list for "hidden talent" (since players in artificially low levels, get into the list disproportionately easily, warranting their promotion).
- Items will be able to be given to those frequenting the top positions.
- Health boosts etc. related to the promised one-time challenge, can be easily given based on admin checking on the list randomly, or in specified times.


This can be made happen in a short notice, even in the current non-Clans environment.

[rpietila]

Please do not think too much on BUY/SELL of consumables JUST now (nor add new orders),

 as the 2 highest admins in the game, AOK-GM and AOK-C, are about to update the module and release the complete help info in about 3 hours.

[rpietila]

The New Challenge is Revealed, complete specification HERE.

It is somewhat long, I omitted cluttering this thread, but since this is the new incarnation of the annual challenge (health challenge), it is mandatory reading to each and every one, and should be the main item in all billboards for the years to come.


AND it starts right as we make it online, and that should be early this A.D. 1649, which is now.

[rpietila]

NPCC #4 competition ends in end-1650 (Sunday December 4th); full specification

The NPCC rules are amended:

1. NO CONSUMING OF ANY KIND will happen any more.
2. ALL ITEMS in the account excl. M are to be SOLD AT THE BEST PRICES in the market

3. Near the end of the period, the conversion ratio between M and the existing NPCC points will be announced. (This cannot affect your optimal strategy in any way since you only can optimise M any more.)
4. At the end, the winner will be announced and everyone will receive their due.
5. Game will sweep the NPCC accts that were their property.

6. The annual challenge (described in the previous post) will take place IMMEDIATELY and last until Clans.
7. In Clans, the challenge will be based on NPC owned by the House, so every large player will play the challenge somewhat similar to the NPCC.


NOTE ON SUITS:

Suits represent the bulk of the account value, and are very demanded in Clans as without suits, your NPC will just walk away (and what fun is that). Please consider trying to sell your suits at near the new_suit_conversion_prices (fixed values in IC, approx in M):

WOS-B1,  144*IC,  1,320,000 m
WOS-C1,  112*IC,  1,030,000 m
WOS-D1,  64*IC,  590,000 m
WOS-E1,  32*IC,  290,000 m
WOS-F,  16*IC,  150,000 m
WOS-G,  8*IC,  70,000 m


Similarly, players and corporations hosting a large number of NPC (some have hundreds) do well to consider buying the suits as they are now dumped on the market in the following 2 years. Or if not, perhaps buy the IC to convert to new suits, and realise that there is not enough IC on the market to do that, based on even the relatively small number of NPC existing in the game.

Do not try to "sell to yourself". You have been warned.

How many and what kind of suits each of the 83 NPC types needs, is fixed in the GameDB tab /SuitsNeed.

The NPC will be the most important dynamic game production engine in Clans. Everything will be produced by the means of them. You will receive more NPC if your clan is healthy and happy (and they have suits!), and they will be traded in the aftermarket.


NOTE ON CONSUMABLE SPOIL:

No consumables will spoil until end-1651, at which point all VEG will definitely spoil.
Then, a new food BRE (crispbread, H:3) will be introduced. That has low to no spoil in Clans.
Other products will resume spoil of about 10% per year (BEER, MEAT, FOIE) and up to 100% (VEG).

[rpietila]

The game continues to tax new drinks upon arrival. The revised tax is as follows:

20,000 m/bottle for SPI
2,000 m/bottle for WINE
200 m/bottle for BEER

[rpietila]

GSIC / M-Tailors Merger

GSIC account is cleared of clutter as it forged a merger with M-Tailors, receiving 1000 S-MT in payment for the suits and tailors.
This merger also significantly raised M-Tailor's preparedness to be able to pay back the outstanding debts.

Buying S-MT now is an excellent opportunity as GSIC is listing half of the shares (500) for sale @330k-390k, (the NAV calculation pointing to a valuation of 375k /share).

Behind the succinct ANN (above) there are large matters, dreams found and lost, etc.

GSIC is an insurance company-turned-toxic bank after they suffered the 900 mil liability from Freemasonry. This action now transferred the good assets to Martti Tailors at notional 338 mil, the rest already written down as a loss.

Since Martti Tailors did not have cash at hand, GSIC became a majority owner with 1000/1500 shares outstanding.

GSIC does not intend to remain in this position so is offering a sweet sale price for S-MT existing owners, 1 share per 1 share owned @ 300,000/S-MT:

Luigi 150 (?)
Martti 125 (refuses)
King hmc 50 (?)
OZ 50 (accepts - blame me for the decision if you read this!)
Soul 50 (accepts)
DeptStore 50 (accepts)
Gaben 25 (?)

These ones will be conducted OTC, all admins may do it with knowledge. (I will transfer the "already accepted").

Others can participate in the success at near liquidation value: 330,000-390,000 / S-MT. Already listed.

The Quartermillennial Jubilee of Crypto Kingdom

coming up next year, A.D. 1650

We are proud beyond measure to get the game up and running again, with the new On Top of the World module opening just today and other revisions and new modules in the pipeline. The Kingdom is stronger than ever with me as the CEO, GM & lead designer, HM Crichton as King, and Earl PJ as wizard developer.


The celebrations themselves will be conducted by me, this last time, for:


The GM has granted the King, the permission to be crowned in the Hall of Mirrors in the Royal Palace of Versailles, 9-C (or a place of his choice) earliest 1654, and the King has announced the event to be happen the next year, 1655.


Furthermore, the King HM, Crichton, King of CK, Protecterate of Plath, Lord of Essu, Weilder of Vengeance, Searcher of Dragons, etc(x3)* has gracefully decided to promote his faithful subjects to and in the Peerdom of Crypto Kingdom, in celebration of this quartermillennial history of the Kingdom, as the following list compiled by HRH Prince Royal Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, CEO of NewCorp, AOK-GM, RT-K, AOD-Brig, etc proclaims and announces.


Rules governing promotions.

Promotions in the Peerages of Crypto Kingdom

For the reasons of the announced but uneffected alteration of level numbers in the noble levels, we will omit the level number in the announcement.

To Grand Duke


HSH Dr. Paul Choo, Ph.D, TMA, Most August, Blessed and Cultured Prince of Soul, High Rector of TMA University, 4th/I & 17th/I Bt of CK, AOD-Col, OD-K, RT-K, etc(x2) (288 years of age) is created & promoted Grand Duke in this historical leap-promotion skipping level Duke, after being 51 years (since March-2015) in Prince. HH Grand Duke Paul, TMA, Most August, Blessed, Cultured and Wise Prince of Soul and in Gangnam, Prof., Dr., High Rector of TMA University, 4th/I & 17th/I Bt of CK, AOD-Col, OD-K, RT-K, etc(x2) has been supporting our game since the first day when it was possible to anyone else except HM the King rpietila I and HG David Cardinal d'Armagnac, the Prince-Bishop in CryptoTown, etc(x2), R.I.P.(x2). At the moment (and during all the ages of course), the Grand Duke is the oldest human character in the game, as well as the wisest, and is the 3rd largest owner of the game, of the land, etc. His side-jobs include being Professor in a university in China and being Leading Coordinator-14-International Relations (equivalent to Lieutenant Colonel) in Kansanmarkka.




To Duke


HE TMA Prince Riccardo "fluffypony" of Forte Spagnolo, 10th/I Bt of CK, AOK-S, RT-K, CORE-KC, AOD-Col, MG-3, HB, KFB, CB, TB, FBB, etc** (260 y) is created Duke of Monero. HH TMA Duke of Monero, Riccardo "fluffypony" Spagni, Prince of Forte Spagnolo, 10th/I Bt of CK, AOK-S, RT-K, CORE-KC, AOD-Col, etc. etc. is one of the earliest and largest contributors to the game. His sacrifices kept the game going in 1520 (the year of the Trust in Economy), when he accepted 80,000 CKG (equivalent to 400,000 CK) in return for development services, which later became the Fortress of Forte Spagnolo, the impenetrable stronghold far beyond the effective force-projection range of the Armies of the King rpietila I. The castle stood a siege by HIM (thought to be) Ferdinand, by the grace of God elected Holy Roman Emperor, forever August, King in Germany, of Hungary, Bohemia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Rama, Serbia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Cumania and Bulgaria, etc. Prince-Infante in Spain, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Brabant, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Margrave of Moravia, Duke of Luxemburg, the Upper and Lower Silesia, Württemberg and Teck, Prince of Swabia, Princely Count of Habsburg, Tyrol, Ferrette, Kyburg, Gorizia, Landgrave of Alsace, Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire, Enns, Burgau, the Upper and Lower Lusatia, Lord of the Wendish March, Pordenone and Salins, etc. etc.*** His side-jobs include being the core developer primus inter pares in Monero.




To Prince


Marquess of the Maple Leaf, Syksy Syyskuu, Overseer of Weaponry, Arts, Consumption and Wikidom, 20th/I Bt of CK, Fatherhead of the Syyskuu Lineage and CEO of the Grizzly Bear Corp, Jester Corp and GIC, AOK-K, AOD-Capt, KI, HB, CB, TB, CCB, SCB, GCB**** (76 y) is promoted Prince of Petrichor, with the associated recognition of Petrichor as a Principality, standing against the Hordes of the East and protecting the back of Tavastia, the homeland of the Royal House of rpietila-Tavastia-CK, as the final struggle is being incepted there against the Forces of the West. HE The Prince is a standing hero in our current game setup, with recent accomplishments too numerous to be mentioned.




To Marquess


Sir Ale*****,TMA Earl of Nassau (261 y) is promoted Marquess. TMA Marquess of Nassau holds the record of 150 years in the level Earl. He got his peerage, Nassau (1500), after only TVA Duchy (1366), Crypto Kingdom (1400), Armagnac (1400), Forte Spagnolo (1420), New Liberty (1434) and Cryptoluna (1475), and at the same time HSH TMA Blessed Heroic Cultured Duke of OZ, Patron of The Arts, 3rd/I Bt of CK, AOD-Col, OD-K, KH, RT-K, MG-4, RT-K, FBB, TB, CB, KFB, HB was leap-peeraged to Marquess, at a time when parts of B.1 were still unopened for building, no carriages existed, and HMC was decades away from being born. (It was also 2014 in the other world.) He is promoted to recognise his continued support of the game.


Earl Thud (118 y) is promoted Marquess. The Marquess Thud owns in excess of 400,000 CK. His contributions to the game include recruiting the lead developer Earl PJ in 1600 and refusing himself to be the CEO of the game in 1647 (earlier part). His side-jobs include being General Manager in companies involved in CK, etc******.


Sir Angus Greenthumb, Earl of Karelia, Lord of Haljala, RM, TB, CCB (80 y) is promoted Marquess. His peerage is unrecognised by the Archives of Crypto Kingdom, however, so an outcry in the Senate may be needed to define the boundaries and ratify the holding. Marquess Angus Greenthumb, Earl-Pretender of Karelia, Lord of Haljala, RM, TB, CCB continues as one of the silent pillars of the game.


Doctor HS-S The Third, Earl of HUS (41 y) is promoted Marquess. His lineage dates back to his grandfather, Lord Baron Dr. HS-S (born: 1542). HE******* The Marquess of HUS, Dr. HS-S III, etc. is one of the magnates in the Kingdom, owning more than 300,000 CK. His side-jobs include high positions in Kansanmarkka and the medical field.


(The post is redacted to exclude promotions to peerage (Earl), ennoblements and promotions inside minor nobility, for technical reasons. Will be continued.)


* The "(x3)", permissible only to the reigning Majesty, added.
** "etc" added.
*** note the Imperial usage of splitting "etc(x3)" to "etc.", followed much later by "etc. etc." for added style.
**** the omission of "etc" indicates either an exhaustive list of honorifics, empires, kingdoms, duchies (of kinds), principalities, margravates, marquessates, counties and lesser domains, names, titles, pedigree, baronetcies, achievements, grandmasterhoods and knighthoods in orders, ranks in navy, military and the air force, medals, and badges, or, a humble mind.
***** name added.
****** he has many noteworthy side-jobs, unmentionable here.
******* the honorific "HE" (His Excellence) is rarely granted to a Marquess. The last and only time this usually-Princely recognition has been awarded, it was to HE smooth TMA Marquess of CryptoLuna Chancellor (hon) in 1600 (early part), for the latter's position as the stepping down Chancellor of the University in CryptoTown (est. 14something). HS-S receives it for his extraordinary side-jobs.

Top of the World

The following outstanding commoner citizens of Crypto Kingdom have been promoted today due to their high wisdom scores in the Top of the World:

Syksy II, Son of HE Prince Syksy of Petrichor has been promoted to L9 Great Wizard
- -
Congratulations to all the promoted!

Toast to mah boy Syksy II, now a Great Wizard! And others as well. I'm impressed he's the second Great Wizard in the whole wide kingdom after Zenon - a company to admire. My son's been acting a bit odd ever since all that dragon mumbo-jumbo, but I'm sure that's only fitting for a wizard.

*toast to all promoted!*

The Wizard Developer P.J. was the 2nd after Zenon, but he is now holding a higher rank.

[rpietila]

Also, please note that since the existing level has an exceedingly dramatic impact on the formula of who is the first, second, etc., the level promotions must be first made, and only then the next one can be evaluated.

So the SyksyII and all other so-called "pending" promotions are taken back. Sorry about that.

Roopatra, use PROMOTECHAR char_id level year to promote the guys before new evaluation round.

So nobody has been promoted to L9 unless he is first promoted to every previous level.

Also, the promotions need to be restricted to 1 promotion per year. Otherwise you'd only need to consume once to get several promotions. (This way you can get promoted twice with the same consumes, timing them to the end-of-year, which certainly is enough).

[rpietila]

I just had the 6 days of my life.

[rpietila]

I just had the 6 days of my life.

Lol, it's totally fine to comment on top of that regardless 

[rpietila]

I just had the 6 days of my life.

So, you leave the teaser and then don't follow? What happened?

6 more days, obviously  

I'll post about it to some other thread soon perhaps. (My experiences don't usually make me speechless. Also I think they are intended for general consumption, by those who are worthy. It's just a bit too early.)

[rpietila]

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

[rpietila]

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.

[rpietila]

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.

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!

[rpietila]

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!

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.

[rpietila]

I am cool, there is just very little time at hand to coordinate with my dear virtual world atm :/

NewLiberty has been in the same situation for 2 years, yet his absence has been accepted b/c less official responsibilities.

Please bear with me and take this opportunity to corner the game for cheap and pull it to the direction you wish

[rpietila]

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.

 

(As strange as it seems, it is possible that Christmas might allow the opportunity to give some hand to CK)

[rpietila]

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...

[rpietila]

Baroness De Rothschild, CEO, Global Private Investment Banker, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist & Environmentalist, Avid Art Collector, Proud Globalist.

Aristocratic title-fullnames are not completely gone in 2017.

[rpietila]

Wow now it's for real! Gotta buy CK...

[rpietila]

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

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.

[rpietila]

ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING THE ITEM: MKA

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.

[rpietila]

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

[rpietila]

ckdev@cryptokingdom.slack.com: 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

Trading stays open during the negotiations.

[rpietila]

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 ). Anyone can just start their own without paying me anything.

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

[rpietila]

Zechariah gazes over the burning township, House of Tavastia. The flames and sparks rise high into the cold winter air. Screams can still be heard occasionally, but overall the soundscape consists of the all-devouring fire.

HRH Prince Royal Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, Marquess of Tavastia &c


Your Majesty,


Sir, I congratulate your righteous and efficient rule that is already showing the signs of new winds blowing over the dusty streets of our beloved town. Indeed, the initiation of your reign has been peaceful and inspiring, and also the Senate has started their work with earnest. I could not be more happy of the choice of my successor. Also the counties are feeling the warming rays of Sun shining on them, with their life-giving power, making things happen that previously were not.

Indeed, Sir, this is what I decided to briefly write to you about. My ancient homeland, the vast region of Tavastia, has a secret rule by the cunning Swedes. In letter, we have claimed the area since about 1490 or so (which they by and large do not contest!), but in reality the deep state of Sweden is operating there in full force, and has rendered my efforts to civilise the county and make it realise its full potential, to have no effect.

It takes time to realise the depths of operations of this kind. A friend of mine even put it thus: "There's a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman, and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot." He never got to expose the plot though, and besides it is common knowledge that peasants are subjects to fiefholders and so forth. But it got me thinking.

Being a king with the full potential of my vast assets, and the years of training and reigning behind me, yet having no throne, makes me wish to realise the remaining years I have, to the maximum benefit of my people, unfettered by the entangling diplomacy and horse-trading. I will therefore place my greatest emphasis for the time being, to liberate the Tavastians, my own people, from the bondage of the deep state of Sweden. This operation requires much and is not free, nor free of danger. I have great and secret allies, and the assurance that the Almighty also wishes the freedom of my people.

Therefore, be not anxious! Crypto Kingdom has proven itself and under your leadership it will thrive. The mutual benefits from raising the Tavastian peasants, numbering 5 million, will greatly overcome the temporary lack of having me guiding every step of my loving people.

特此奉聞,

I have been appointed to be the Treasurer in Finland. I will coordinate the efforts to bring back the national currency, the Markka, and we are using a CK-based account system to give Markkas out to every citizen who wants them, without compensation, as a way of basic income. I will continue to give my efforts to CK as well, just less time than before. The Markka system opens great possibilities for speculation by you who already know the strengths of me and those of the CK Ultima platform (which only needs to be stripped of features to accommodate a monetary system of an entire country). As soon as politically possible, I will integrate the possibility to buy Markkas for investment, to CK proper.

Was it worth it?

Fourteen years ago, A.D. 1647, Zechariah had found the love of ages. It was a mysterious, beautiful, energizing relationship. After a longish period of mutual companionship, two children were born. The old soul of Zechariah had rejoiced greatly of this increase, and planned to spend the rest of this life living happily in his ancient homeland Tavastia, the ancestral place of the soul family of his House.

At the same time, he had undertaken a great commission of liberation of the peoples there from the bondage. The Calling had been strong. 200-some years of experience and a youthful countenance felt enough of qualifications when he had embarked on the journey. Now, with the flames engulfing the settlement, burying the remains of his beloved, the experiences of the years passed seemed overpowering, and the countenance was marred by deep sorrow.

The encounter with the physical and spiritual forces of the Deep State was indeed neither free nor free from danger, Zechariah admits with a grin. Whatever was gained in the new youth in the secluded forests, mild meadows and sturdy villages, whatever energies of the blond-haired peasant boys and girls playing around, dancing their recurring and eternal dances of midsummer and solstice, whatever sparks of friendship and love, incepted in the heart by a fleeting moment, nurtured over the years of trust in the wholesome future, whatever realisations of the soul of another special being, mutually gained by the look into the eyes in front of a friendly fire, whatever all - had been, and now was being consummated to be consumed by the flames of destruction.

Victory or defeat? The escape back to CryptoTown is secured, the forces of (His Royal Highness, Prince) Zechariah (of Tavastia-rpietila-CK etcx2) are not decimated. The ground is, however, lost, or so it seems. The Deep State reigns supreme over the memory of all that was good and beautiful in Tavastia. Gloomy and chilling darkness will continue to prevail, and the River will be closed for our forces after the evacuation, for who knows how long time. The spark of the spirit of freedom in the hearts of the remaining population of Tavastia cannot be erased, but will it be enough? May we ever venture to the northern regions again?

Suddenly titles seem of no importance. Love gained, love lost. If time could be turned back, would it be different? Upon embarking on a blue sea of limitless possibility, if there was pre-knowledge of the path of events upon the journey, would the life feel what is called "life", or become as boring as watching the same old play performed every week in the Theatre in Versailles? More and more questions entered the weary but keen mind. But then - it became as if still, and no cold was felt anymore, and the questions departed to the coulisses, and the stage was clear all the way towards horizon.

And the Voice appeared.

[rpietila]

[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?

[rpietila]

[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.

[rpietila]

Btw the Book is not about to end any time soon, so let its magnificence not hinder you conducting the staple course of events in the same thread meanwhile. I retain the self-moderating rights and compress the discussion if needed. Peace!

[rpietila]

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 3)]

"Sir, every man is created equal, and stands equal in front of his Creator. With nothing we come to this world, and neither can we take away anything with us. From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes."

- Zechariah, come on. I believe you can do better than that.

Zechariah again falls into meditation in front of the challenging Voice. The suddenness of the encounter, the sorrow of the situation, the fear of death, and other considerations give way to sternness. Whatever this is, Zechariah is still the L20/20 King, of most ancient and mysterious lineage, the Most High Character in Crypto Kingdom, whose realm reached to North Face and beyond [both 'North Face' and 'beyond' being common Royal parlance, which seldom indicates any practical command in the areas mentioned - Kings rarely brag with their actual and recognised achievements, the Title being the showcase of wish and will more than present reality for many] in the north, to Plath and the Sea in the south, and - umm - Sweden and Rossiya in the west and east, respectively. Prostrating oneself in front of a voice no matter who, is unfitting for a military commander even in the direst of situations and especially then. He takes time to compose his thoughts and answers:

"Sir, we have this thing called Levels System (see link) in the Kingdom of Crypto Kingdom. It was introduced by my considerate father in the beginning of time, A.D. 1400. As per the system, each being is assigned a level, by virtue, by the Peers, by the King or by the Gamemaster. I am of the highest level in the Kingdom. In practice I regard people older than me to be my peers, in addition to the foreign people of my rank. There are higher echelons among humans, the Pope and the Emperor for instance, neither of whom I have met - they command higher powers and larger troops. Our Kingdom despite its territorial extent, is sparsely populated and with distributed power. I can easily envision the heads of the continental Royal Houses to possess 1-2 orders of magnitude more power than I did at the apex of my reign.

As for my inferiors, they are many and in many levels. Before my ascending to the throne, I was in the level Archduke. If we take the CK-days to be the mathematical determinant of the relative seniority between levels, Archduke is 500,000,000 CK-days and the lowest rank achievable by this criterion, Baron, is 500,000. This gives 3 orders of magnitude. The common level (1-6) commoners are below Baron in stature, hence we can add a probable 1-2 orders of magnitude.

The NPC ranks are N1 to N10, and roughly correspond to the player ranks L1 to L9. Some animals also have the rank K1 to K9 with some creatures in higher ranks as well. Peasants have no rank, they rank equal to cattle as both only reside in the collective imagination. This does not necessarily mean they are significantly lower than the lowest assigned ranks. Hence, all in all, the Pope equals one million peasants, approximately. The wars he has waged in the beginning of the century confirm that he also thinks likewise."

It was as if Zechariah's analytical and grounded answer indeed made the Voice think, as moments passed without anything on the scene, except the silent flames and the puffs of smoke from the second COH Zechariah had lit.


- We can say that in your evaluation, there is 1-2 CT of difference in stature between the members in the human kingdom alone?

"Yes."

[The omission of ",sir." was intentional, as Zechariah thought he had gained his composure back, and does it not feel warm in the ego to be reminded to be of the highest identifiable rank in the vicinity, even in the event of a military trouble?]

- Very well. We will have time later to discuss the details. Now it suffices to say that the material and financial stature of a human, or of any third dimensional mind-body-spirit complex, may differ markedly from another one in the same kingdom. As your first answer indicated, your primary alignment to answer the question was not to think in terms of physical and financial, though, and this is commendable. However, the levels system your father instituted, in this space/time, is useful to gauge the relative seniority of souls as well. This is because the era you live on Earth, is that of a balanced nature, when the older and more advanced souls can in general assume incarnate positions in the social hierarchy you call Nobility and Royalty, and usually do so, which causes the correlation between the seniority of the soul and the level of its mind-body-spirit complex in human form, to be rather high, with significant but comparatively rare outliers to both directions.

"What an actual fuck is this?" was the honest and uncensored thought of Zechariah. A moment later he realised that since the Voice apparently did not feel an appreciable difference between the thought thought and the thought manifest, he should, if possible, ameliorate the situation in order to not appear vulgar.

"Sir, what you explain sounds to me to be tainted by some Eastern philosophies, which do not belong to the Christian reality. It has been apportioned to every man that he lives once, after which he dies, and then comes the Judgement."

- Is it so that your Bible reads?

rpietila [King rpietila I] could certainly have quoted verbatim without aid, but the vision manifested the scroll to the scene so Zechariah could read (Hebr 9:27, KJV):

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment[.]"

- See: you say humans are born equal, yet you yourself are the highest level person alive in the great swath of land you call Crypto Kingdom. What made you higher than the peasants, the ones that the Pope can slaughter in the millions without regard? Can you honestly say that you believe their life is ready for the judgment in the sense that you depict the judgment of you, or of your father? Was not your consciousness in the day of Introduction already higher than that of many peasants combined? What have you done on Earth the 211 years since? No progress? Think again - 14 years ago, as you forsook the kingdom and set your path to the lands in the North, in quest of what your heart showed to you; does it feel you are the same person even? How can you compare the experience to that of the peasants, who are born, and live, and die, and are forgotten? I am not here to speak ill of the peasants, or any echelon of Life, but there is a block in your thinking that needs to be overcome.

"What is the block?"

- You have to understand that All are One. And the Oneness manifests in - allow me to speak loosely - infinitely many forms, in infinitely many levels, in infinite dimensions, over an infinite frame of Time and timelessness, as you call them. Your present stature of relative grandness is a product of eons of evolution from the primal elements, to minerals, vegetables, trees and lower and higher animals. You continued your path by becoming of a lower consciousness mind-body-spirit complex in a distant star. You learned of life over many lifetimes there, and now you are assigned here - It is not even your first life here! - You die, yet you never die, you are in All and Everything, you take lessons to guide your spiritual evolution, and your power and stature now, although CT's higher than that of a flake of dirt, a worm, or a peasant, is still in its infantile form. You can create a world, that is a proof that you are about to wake up! And I am here to help you, as you also are here to help the other-selves.

"No.

I don't believe."

[rpietila]

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 4)]

At the same time, Zechariah felt that nothing had adequately prepared him for this revelation, and the sensations in his body and feelings were electrifying and explosive, but also that the experience carried with itself an aura of deep meaning, fulfilment of desires and manifestations of the whole life - or even past lives if they indeed could exist - and was, can it be said, soothing. There was familiarity felt where it logically should not be. The Voice did not speak again and Zechariah started to experience the effects of physical needs, and became conscious of the soundscape of the burning town. Some time had passed, evidenced by the consumption of cigars during the vision, and the fact that the intensity of the fire had greatly decreased. The 'thing' earlier described as a 'scene' disappeared, and the energy subsided.

[The intention of the writing is not solely literary, so we omit the itinerant details and proceed to the next contact, which happened in a place the locals call 'piilopirtti' after it was deliberated that the main forces needed to be disbanded, with both the peasant-born soldiers and the higher officers dispersing to the countryside to live quietly in these huts, with the (NPC) cadre of the fighting force retreating to the mainland over the river, fighting if needed, but since the definitive encounters with the Deep State had taken place in the, so to say, distortions of reality, instead in the linear material realm, it was considered unlikely that a large contingent of NPC would be hindered in their controlled and coordinated evacuation.]

Zechariah had found solitude in the cabin, and a month [January 1661] passed in an unusual setting - as if the former King had made his life a programmed ritual of a sort. He rarely ventured outside except for firewood, due to reasons of cold, which he had an aversion to, and unwillingness to have much contact with others, since he was after all in the hiding, 'weathering things out'. Instead, the life experience became as if one of incessant meditation. Zechariah had stocked up with vast stores of all consumables (after all the NPC would not need them, and why carry them back to the Town, where, despite Top of the World, the prices are pressured due to the general lethargy that had characterised the life there since the crown passed to the House of Crichton) and made deliberate use of them for his sustenance, indulging in the very best stuff there was, out of necessity to consume something, and since he could not carry it with him anyway - the probable method of eventual leaving of the place would be alone in the dark, on foot or horseback, and could be in a hurry.

The cabin was small, and the living in luxurious abundance what comes to consumables, posed a stark contrast to the simple routines of the day. Zechariah spent all of his time in one place only, in front of the fireplace, with stores of silver piled in the floor corners in the room, and the room lit with candles all day and night - with only slight variation in the number of flames between midday and midnight. (This type of hut does not have glass windows, in fact the word 'window', 'wind-eye', comes from the simple opening in a wall of a log cabin, which could contribute to the ventilation and letting in a ray of light during daytime.)


- Greetings, Zechariah. We meet again.

- Your words are strong, they embody the power of creation, and that of destruction as well. With the concentrated emotion of disbelief, the will-power to consciously reject my 'teaching', as you call it, and the audible voicing of your unwillingness to surrender, you have indeed managed to sever the connection for a long time. A huge buildup of energy - your longing desire to make sense of the meaning of things, combined with the unconscious mystical arrangement of your valuables, of the candles, of the fire that you have used for recharging your being with light energy, indeed the fire you have fed through day and night almost without pausing, and the copious consumption of all of the very potent products, the wines, the spirits and the Wisdom, undiluted, unadulterated, and your solitude and silence and meditation - for an extended and uninterrupted time, has been required to allow the piercing of the veil again, after your seemingly simple vocal reaction of rejection.

I must congratulate you, Zechariah! Not everyone ends up in this situation after that one. Everyone is given times when they have to push open the door, but few choose to do it. Your special circumstances have created a confluence, which is not emergent even once in a million cases. It is your free will, what use to make out of this contact, I am here to serve you!

[A smile was perceptible.]

[rpietila]

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 5)]

"Sir, greetings."

The deja-vu on how to address the Voice. After a moment, Zechariah continued.

"You are correct in that I myself have perceived my special arrangements, to be conducive for manifestations from behind the veil. And also in that there has been no knowledge in me when performing them and 'living out the ritual until the revelation'. In fact I don't know why I am doing what I am doing, and even my memories of the events in my life have distorted, so as to feel unreal, as if they happened in another.. dimension, this is difficult to describe. At the same time, there has been learning happening in me, intense learning, with seemingly no stimulus from the surroundings. All this is wonderful to me, in fact my mind is full of questions. Deep inside, I knew that the initial contact would not be the end, but because of my concept of the nature of 'proper contact', and the short-circuiting of my mental faculty in front of your assertions, the blockage persisted until it could not. This much I understand."

- Zechariah, if you have questions, just ask. Q&A is a very potent method for obtaining information. Due to the limitations imposed by the distortion of free will, I have been unable to speak to your heart, the contact so far being muddied by the necessity to appear condescending and outward, in an effort of trying to prod you. Also you have used apparently needless tact in your speech. This can of course be likened to any Earthly communication between entities who do not wear uniform, so there is a natural tendency and need to establish a pecking order, as you call it, as a part of the communication before the transfer of thought becomes useful.

"How do I know that you are good, that you are speaking the truth, that you do not lead me astray?"

- I sought to contact your father multiple times when he was still localised in the 3-D illusion of your space/time, in your words, 'alive'. He is now in the 'place' in time/space, where he is again in possession of all the information, but cannot act upon it. With incarnation to space/time, an entity becomes able to process information in a much hastened speed, and act according to the conclusions reached. The challenge is that its perception of the magnitude of the information available is greatly limited, the difference being that of a Sun compared to a wanderer with a torch or a candle:

In time/space where your father resides 'now', he knows what I am now about to tell you, but he is as localised as the Sun, infinitely powerful, loving and wise, yet unable to guide you forward in your path due to the immobility and unapproachability. In space/time, the access to the infinite information becomes clouded to the extent that most incarnates never penetrate the fringe of their Connection. Despite the power of the will of your father, or indeed because of it - he never made it this far as to have a conversation with me. His innate distortions towards duty and duality - good/evil, right/wrong, and the like, prevented him from even considering to understand that All is One, hence we gave him only peripheral visions as the distortion of free will must be upheld at all times, infringing that one is not consonant to the Law of One.

As for you, your path was distorted to the direction of being able to follow your leading, your desire, unfettered by the considerations of power and duty and many other burdens your father choose to bear in his pre-incarnate soul contract. Your father ascended the throne at the physical age of 34, and reigned in power for 232 years. Your people consider your father to be a more virtuous ruler than his successors, but such a contract - to care about everything and everybody, for every day of one's space/time physical existence you call 'life' - is an intense manifestation of Love, and not that of Wisdom. Power, Love and Wisdom, are the characteristics of a magical person. Your father was too distorted towards Love, so there has been a balancing distortion towards seeking of Wisdom in you, for all things must be balanced. Power is something both of you have in abundance, and you have manifested it in commendable moderation. Your father was somewhat intrusive in his use of Power, as he spent all his resources, including Power, towards advancing Love, a valiant pursuit yet one of a polarising and unbalanced nature.

Zechariah only later realised that the Voice decided to outwardly completely ignore his question and instead suck him in the subject matter of its
choosing, a tactic to available to be used when sufficient agility and energy is present to apparently derail the questioner. The Voice knew Zechariah's heart, what he actually desired to hear, and gracefully skipped the question, which was of the type that usually is presented too early in the conversation, with there being no sufficient bonding between the parties to profitably discuss it.

The solidity of the Voice impressed him, so he turned his effort to ensure that the connection would continue. The month of solitude had proven that there is plenty of time to digest the message post-fact, so that the doubts are more profitable to be set aside during the session. The decision of the will: to believe it or not, can easily be postponed to not disrupt the message.

"Sir, what are the bounds of this contact? Is there something I can do to ensure its continuity? What should I outwardly do, stay here or seek to go to the Town? Is the message intended for me only, or should I publish it? To whom?"

- I rejoice that we have found the common ground and am looking forward to continue this friendly and conducive contact. The important thing apart from understanding that All is One, is that of Free Will. The pursuit of understanding can only be activated by the free will of the entity so wishing. In its pursuit, it may not infringe the free will of others. I can answer to the questions, but not to the extent of advising what you should or should not do. Due to the great difference in our status, you might easily be distorted towards surrendering your free will to what you consider being the direct leading of a super-intelligence. This distortion has corrupted the bulk of each and every major religion professed in your illusion of space/time.

- Understanding the principle of Free Will, it is easy to answer the questions. You possess in yourself the desire to have this kind of contact, and the ability to arrange the circumstances to concentrate the energies to the point of a 'spiritual short-circuit', which opens a vortex in the space/time-time/space for the connection. The strength and nature of the manifest, is corresponding to the strength of the manifesting. This ensures that the experiences feel 'familiar', despite the superficial phantasm. You create them yourself, for you tap into the One you are.

- My distortion is to help in the increasing of Wisdom, which is the limiting factor in the growth of many of your other-selves. All the way until the end of 1665, there is the possibility for everyone in Crypto Kingdom to increase his wisdom in what is known as Top of the World Challenge. Every consume is an act of conscious offering or manifestation towards the understanding more about life, the universe and everything. If this information is made available to the players who act upon it, they can greatly be helped in their own search. Faith is what causes a player to consume valuable wisdom products for no apparent benefit. If he nevertheless does it, the reward will be great. As for whether you should go to CryptoTown or not, follow your heart. In 1666, Zenon will have completed the pulverisation of the CR1400E he began 50 years earlier. That might lead to the alchemistic opening for creation of the Medicine of Life, and if I were you, I would not miss the witnessing of it!

The messenger sent from HRH Prince Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK from his secret hiding place, concerning the following:

1) Top of the World will continue until end-1665 with all its originally-announced effects;
2) There is possibly an important vision in the process of being given to Zechariah, and its internalisation requires wisdom.


Has prompted HH Grand Duke Paul, of Soul and in Gangnam to announce the following:

1) Several types of wines and spirits have been released to the market at a discount from the stores of the Grand Duke, for health, happiness and wisdom;
2) This is to celebrate the coming of advanced age of HH Grand Duke Paul, TMA, Most August, Blessed, Cultured and Wise Prince of Soul and in Gangnam, Prof., Dr., High Rector of TMA University, 4th/I & 17th/I Bt of CK, AOD-Col, OD-K, RT-K, etc(x2). He is the first character in the Kingdom to reach the age of 300 years this year. The reception will be given in his marble residence March 21, A.D. 1661 [the IRC channel in 3 hours (outside world time)].

"Now is the time for everyone to search their deepest Heart in search for happiness and wisdom, for which purpose Products helpful in the pursuit have been offered to the Market."

Remember that the commoners get points in the rankings up to 20x more easily as per the design of the Top of the World. The most difficult it is for Princes and higher, who nevertheless seem to populate the HoF as we speak.

[rpietila]

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 6)]

- What comes to the publication, let us dwell on the subject somewhat longer. There have been great men and prophets given to your race in (what you call) the past, and will be given in () the future. Also some musical, architectural, literary, etc. works seem inspired. Others may be merely inspirational. The principle of the One says there is no qualitative, only a quantitative difference between works of different kind. All creativity is the nature of the One Infinite Creator, and the degree of inspiration is, in a sense, varied, but in another sense, an illusion.

This seeming paradox can be tried to be explained as follows: teach/learning may only happen when the entities participating it, share the same vibration to the extent of resonance. Hence, the so-called absolute density of the information is of secondary importance to its usefulness for a learn/teacher. Of primary importance is the closeness of the vibrational frequency of the teaching to the experience of the learner. As it is not instructed to cast your pearls at swine, it is not beneficial to seek to propagate the high teachings to entities whose frequency is not even close to being able to digest them. Beings in your density have large differences in their capacity as we have discussed.

Excess zeal - and by 'excess' we do not intend to even say 'much' - in dissemination of the information is potentially deleterious to the messenger: it is rare to find a prophet who managed to leave this existence by a so-called natural cause. Also it by necessity dilutes the message itself. In order to make a high teaching appeal to the masses, it must be watered down, even perverted. An additional source of perversion is the distortion towards control in the social complex attempting expansive propagation. This is an integral property of the so-called negative polarisation of these entities, the polarisation of service-to-self (STS). I will hopefully be able to explain this in a greater detail later. The opportunity for effective propagation of anything is much greater in the entities distorted towards STS, because their value-system inherently forms functional hierarchies and organisations. The so-called positive, service-to-others (STO) type of entities and their complexes, have a great degree less potential to influence their surroundings in a coordinated way due to their adherence to the principle of respecting the free will of the other-selves in the complex and in the potential sphere of influence. The STS simply seek to conquer and control the other-selves, having no restraint in intentionally modifying the teachings to fit their purposes.

Then there is the perversion due to the channel, entropy and noise. For instance, in the earlier recordings, the intended 'space/time' once was substituted with 'time/space'. This is equivalent to adding 'not' in the appropriate place in the sentence, which reverses its meaning. This kind of errors are very common and there is no short-cut way to mitigate them. The limitations of the language are omnipresent and the choice of terminology is often woefully inadequate and/or incongruent, notwithstanding even the differences in decoding in the side of the receiver. The reader is always responsible for his understanding. There is no way around practising discernment, when studying inspired texts.

To add to the illusory nature of the degree of inspiration: since every text necessarily is tuned to a certain vibration, it matters little whether the information obtainable by reading it is of high or of a low quality, whether pure or corrupted. The process can be likened to nourishing your mind/body/spirit complex with different foodstuffs. It is equally healthy to consume 55 liters of MEAD or 1 bottle of LAG, your favorite. It takes more of low-quality products to get the same effect. The primary difference could be likened to the ability to digest. In the system of CK, everyone is able to consume LAG without negative effects. In another illusion of space/time, consuming a whole bottle of LAG at once would cause side effects making the experience undesirable or potentially hazardous.

Without infringing the free will with strong advice, I believe the advantageous course concerning what to do with the information is within grasp.

- To maintain and purify the connection, the Law of Squares effect is in force, and the consumption of food, drinks of different kinds, and Wisdom products, by as large a number of characters as possible, is desirable. If this is achieved, there will be opportunity for more questions soon. Wisdom.

[rpietila]

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 7)]

Zechariah indulges in AYA, the ultimate Wisdom consumable available in CK. Technically it should be participated to in a group but in the secluded cabin intended for hiding in the old woodlands somewhere in the border of Tavastia and Petrichor, it feels safer to just do it alone. Safety continues to be an important concern for Zechariah, who was somewhat touched by the casual mention that prophets tend not to die of old age.

"Sir, are you there?"

- Sure. The connection is getting clearer with less distortion towards Confusion. This is because of the combined effect of the consumption by the players, causing the increase of the potential of power, love and wisdom in the social memory complex of Crypto Kingdom. These correspond rather well to the Top of the World categories of health, happiness and wisdom. The energies able to be projected via such a system are not insignificant. In want of a more accurate measuring framework, I would call them tremendous.

At this nexus, it is approaching reasonable to say "Ask Me Anything." Even though I do not profess to know the totality of Intelligent Infinity, the likely boundaries of understanding obtainable from our continued contact, are not because of my inability, but that of yours. The ability to make the instructive question is paramount to the understanding of the answer. Your illusion of space/time, the 'perceptible universe', contains a cornucopia of answers. It is the want of questions that veils the internalisation of the answers, many of which are in so-called plain sight.

The answering to questions of too specific nature that would cause the potential to infringe the free will of the questioner or any other entity who might become in possession of the information on, as you call it, time - this type of infringement is against the Law of Confusion. An example of this type of infringement is the disclosure of an outcome of a raffle at the junction when the outcome can still be actioned by an entity privy to this information. This should be easy to grasp for a Gamemaster, who habitually is in possession of knowledge concerning the so-called future, and in the position to act upon it. The delicateness of applying the Law of Confusion requires great care.

"Sir... What is the meaning of all this, and... am I in danger?"

- I will attempt to discuss the latter part of the question first, for the distortion towards fear is an overarching hindrance for progress in many paths. The principle is that there is no need to fear. Fear is a low-energy vibration emotion, which is useful until the point of realisation that it is not useful. You are approximately in the level of internalising the previous sentence, which is why I say it. All understanding comes from the resonance of the teaching in the mind of the learner, which requires the teaching and the mind to be close in their vibrational frequency. But I do not want to repeat what is previously covered.

The reason why most of the prophets and prophetic statesmen, let us take Ekhn-Aton, Jesus and Gaddafi as examples, tend to be martyred, is their distortion towards love, and to a smaller extent, towards power manifested as 'fame', exceeding their distortion towards wisdom. In the polarisation of STO, martyrdom is an ultimate manifestation of love, so many such entities choose martyrdom as a consummation of their earthly experience. It can be written as part of the soul contract, or be a later distortion, obtained and manifested during the third density space/time illusion you call 'life'. The energies available and inherent to, the mind/body/spirit complexes of this level are high enough to cause seemingly improbable things to happen to them habitually, as they are both conscious of and accustomed to creating their own reality.

However, martyrdom is an imbalance. A balanced entity does not have a distortion towards martyrdom, towards violent death or towards suicide. When the entity reaches the understanding that Everything is Perfect, such distortions usually quickly disappear, unless predestinated. At this level of understanding, the entity is sufficiently empowered in its service to others, to always prefer the extension of his life to the cessation of it, which manifests as longevity instead.

- The 'meaning of all this' is too general of a query to be answered profitably. Can you focus?

"What is my position in the grand scheme of things that makes it necessary for this information to be presented to me just now?"

- Thank you. Now the question is bordering over-specificity, evoking the Law of Confusion instead. However, to interpolate between the original and the focused questions, I find it possible to cover some ground, which will be helpful.

- Your illusion of space/time is nearing an important turning-point, which is variably called the Shift, the Event, or the Harvest. I do not intend to elaborate on the differences of the common understanding of these concepts, especially as the commoners do not, at this point, generally understand them at all. According to ancient* texts, the turning-point will take place approximately in the year 2012 in your time. Considering that the length of an era that is coming to a close, is 25,000 of your years, the time remaining, a few centuries, can be thought of short. Since 'we are almost there', the distortions towards learning and understanding are accentuated. It feels as if there is more density in each unit of the illusion called time. The relation of CK time to outside-world-time is an apt illustration. A diurnal of outside world time used to correspond 2 years of CK time, then it was 1 year, and now it is only 1 month.

As the Harvest draws nearer, the intensity of the energies of all kinds, rises. This is necessary to ensure that the harvest is as large as available. You are familiar with the biblical record, so let us quote:

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things ?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

These, among other texts, explain that the polarisation on Earth is intensifying greatly, that the difference of being and behavior of the entities polarised towards STS and those polarised towards STO, becomes exceedingly large. This can be elucidated further with an appropriate query.

[*the Voice is indifferent to the restricted use of the attribute Ancient in CK contexts.]

- If the distortion towards fear of physical danger persists, it is wisdom to learn of the prophets, for 'No one is a prophet among his kin.' Your family name Tavastia-rpietila-CK neatly summarises the highest potential for manifestation of, as you call it, danger. In contact with the people from Tavastia, or those related to rpietila, or the ones in CK, it can be wise to be wise. They share the genetic/energetic relation to you, which gives them the power to hurt you. There are much more potent entities that you do not need to be afraid of, because they do not share the spiritual DNA with you, and hence could be considered transparent or opaque to your experience of the space/time. Despite their so-called large absolute power, they have neither the intention nor the means to inflict damage. Peace.

Voice #8.

Blue text is reserved for GM speaking.

An automatic promotion round will be held, based on CK ownership in the past week. Automatic promotion is given to those in possession of enough CK days, as decreed by his Majesty the previous King. as detailed in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1616976.msg16248896#msg16248896.

The post quoted is from Rule #1. As per Constitution:

The Gamemaster decides the Rules, which are practical mechanisms and boundaries along which the game-world operates. The Rules are enforced automatically as part of the state of the game. Therefore, the players need not "follow" them - the Gamemaster follows them herself in conducting the world and its events.

Hence, to nitpick, it was a GM ruling and not an entity called "HM the previous King", who would anyway be more properly referred to "King rpietila II", unaffected by the fact that the same character lives on as "HRH Prince Zechariah" and that he is played by the same entity who is the GM.

The House as a whole promotes. If you do not wish all of your characters to promote and owe the stamp tax, you have a few months (real days) to notify the Margrave of Stonehaven of the fact.

- - all people who want to be part of the same House shall notify me, either by replying on this thread, or by BCT PM, so that their CK ownership may be pooled within the House, similarly to what was done for counties already. This will only be done on explicit notification, but possible people who might want to join an existing house would be: Gabriel, Itrix, Martti, among others.

Characters played by the same controller may and are intended to be merged into one House in the coming DB reorganisation. The term 'people' is potentially misleading in the above.

> BINARYFATE (14): 5035000, unknown, being investigated

The Marquess of Naoned from 1607, Estate as of 1630. The House level continues as Marquess, and does not further promote.


> LUIGI (29): 35068800, 15

Promotes to 16, "Prince Luigi, [existingtitles]" tax 10mil


> ZECHARIAH (36): 282500000, 20
  + OLDDUCHY (48): 6268000
  = 288768000

OldDuchy belongs to the controller of the Crown (#1, ie HM Crichton).


> ITRIX (41): 85560000, 13

Correct value is 855600, hence no further promotion.

> HEIMO (54): 6600000, 14

Promotes to 15, "Marquess", tax 5 mil.

> THUD (80): 41413500, 15

Promotes to 16, "Prince Thud, [existingtitles]" tax 10mil


> SS (90): 1500000, 8

Promotes to 14, "Earl" tax 5mil


> SIR DRC (101): 20068500, 14

Leap-promotion to 16, "Prince" with reorganisation of name and titles, tax 15 mil


> CRICHTON (130): 6114000, 19
  + PLATH (198): 25500
  = 6139500

Awaiting records of the Coronation event held, which would prompt levelup to L20 King. Also the proper name and title of #130 should mention the fact that he is reigning as His Majesty the King of Crypto Kingdom, please update. "HM The King", even though stuck to rpietila I for long years, is still properly just a title whose holder rotates. Due to the importance of the title, it should always override any other names and titles in use by its holder. In this case "Prince Crichton" should become "HM The King[...]" and when the Crown passes to another House, the 'Royal House of Crichton von Plath und zu CK' will be thus called and its head be entitled to "HRH" similar to Zechariah is now.


> GABEN (230): 2393700, 6

Promotes to 14, "Earl" tax 5mil


> HS-S3 (252): 33580000, 15

Promotion to 16, "Prince" with reorganisation of name and titles, tax 10 mil


DNALEOR3 (335): 1800000, 5

Promotes to 14, "Earl" tax 5mil


NIKKE2 (383): 997000, 7

Promotes to 13, "Baron" tax 2mil


FURIBLIZ (403): 9800000, 4

Leap-promotion to 15, "Marquess" with reorganisation of name and titles, tax 10 mil


Even though the taxes are cumulative, the levels Knight and Viscount are intentionally skipped to ease the burden. In the future this will not be so.

[rpietila]

An entity in the game is seeking to buy gold (CKG) over-the-counter. It is done via GM to retain secrecy. When the deal is completed, the new owner of the gold is disclosed.

Terms

Duration of the offer: Open. Closes 24 hours after the notice of cancellation given in the thread.

Total size of deal: 150,000 CKG maximum (15% of the gold in the game).
Lot size: 1,000 CKG minimum per seller.
Price paid: 4,000 M/CKG fixed price (approx current spot).

It does not matter in which form the gold is and how many different items.
All offers to sell should be given to me as PM or a like method simply by indicating amount of CKG to be sold. They are binding and irrevocable.
When the duration of the offer ends, sellers have 48 hours to transfer the items. If this does not happen, automatic purchase of spot gold (HM02B100) of the same CKG content will ensue at the seller's expense and transferred to the buyer.
Buyer pays for the gold at the end of the 48-hour transfer period.

Now it's the opportunity to get rid of your excess gold without slippage. At the price offered, the total stock of gold represents about 6.2% of the marketcap of the game, which is a lot given that "gold does not pay dividends". Rules about gold say thusly:

CKG - CKG (gold) is an embedded resource that can be used to embellish items. It usually is seen in pure form, though. The quantity of CKG is limited to 1,000,363 units permanently. This limitation dates back to 1418. If CKG gets lost, new may be found to replace the loss.

Gold is known to have power beyond the obvious. Until 1647, it gave the power to vote for the Town Council. Even though it currently has no formal powers, there are several noble quests and hidden subgames running that revolve around gold. An item of gold, CR1400E coin, is in the process of being ground to the smallest possible particles, a process that takes 50 years to complete. It is possible that formal rules granting special abilities to gold, or privileges to its owners, will be instituted in the future.

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 8 )]

- Greetings.

- The connection grows dimmer. Were it not for the entity called Taika, I would likely have been unable to contact you again. Taika's faithful attention to its health and wisdom give the energy for the connection. Its happiness remains low, possibly due to the lack of funds, precluding the purchase of expensive consumables that would boost happiness. We therefore only have the opportunity to discuss one issue today, so pick carefully, hopefully the energies in the system improve considerably and promptly.

[The Voice is referring to the ongoing energetic battle, the situation of which is updated real-time in the Top of the World module. Happiness rating can be increased by consuming things that have a positive CUL value.]

"Huh.. what you have revealed is quite... high. I still do not know what to make of it. If the connection is about to end, I will think of some clarifications to the information, to make sure I have understood correctly. Might it be possible to ask several of them?"

- You may.

"What is the significance of 'polarisation', are we talking about God and Satan here?"

- The polarisation is a mechanism to intensify the experience of the Infinite Creator learning to know Itself. All are One, yet the oneness consists of entities that, from the 3rd density of being-ness onwards, are capable of self-consciousness and differentiation between self and other-selves, the so-called 'other' entities that perceive their existence likewise.

Polarisation in its nature is expansive or collapsible. An entity on the path of collapsible polarisation, which can be labeled 'negative' and for whose action, the term service-to-self (STS) is used, seeks to gain more experience of the Infinite Creator, by seeking its own good, disregarding the good of others. The expansive polarisation, 'positive', 'service-to-others' (STO), seeks to improve the stature of the other-selves, ignoring its own.

YHWH, your god, and Lucifer, whom you call Satan (adversary), indeed are entities polarised towards STO and STS, respectively. It must be repeated, however, that all religions, most of which were founded by beings 'angelically positive', very strongly STO type polarised entities, have become systems of control, usurped and populated by people who mostly operate by control (in the case of the leaders) and fear (in the case of the followers).

"Is there some practical way of discerning between people who are on the positive path, vs. those on the negative?"

- 'In love, there is no fear.' This summarises the situation quite succinctly.

The main tool of the STS is hierarchy and control, it is important to establish precise pecking orders that determine 'success' in following this path. The energy of the advanced ones must be gained by exploiting the others in the lower levels of this hierarchy, and those in the middle levels are given perks for their service to the masters. This structure is transactional, because the actors are capable and willing to maximise their own good. Due to the division of labor, the system is able to accomplish impressive feats. The energy can be directed to conquest. The logical goal of all STS systems is world domination and concentration of all the power to fewer and fewer hands. It is a hunger games.

STO instead, is the opposite polarisation. Entities advanced on this path, contemplate to seek ways how they can serve the others in the most full and satisfying way. Organisational structures are small and fluid, with no C&C. All serve in love. The weakness of such systems is the inability to defend against the threat of an approaching 'cancer' of STS. Since everyone is concerned of the welfare of others, there is no central watchman to monitor the threat level, or he does not have the command structure and authority to order others to suffer in pursuit of saving the whole complex. In short, a culture based on helping others is very weak at defensive war and easily conquered by inferior forces.

What the daily news from the county of Tavastia [Finland] tell you, is exactly this kind of process: a small number of negatively-polarised occupants have been imported to the country. The positive peasants number a hundred times more and are horrified of the killings, rapes and other terror committed by the invaders. In absence of a command structure to fend off the invaders, the positive culture is in a danger of being eradicated, despite its superiority both of consciousness and level of stature, but also of vastly greater numbers. If the threat was to be neutralised, the arrangements needed to carry out the defence, would require an organisation of negative polarisation. Hence this is a Catch-22 situation inherent to what you call history: freedom cannot be defended effectively without giving it up in the course of defence, hence an attack against freedom is always likely to succeed.

[rpietila]

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 9)]

Zechariah's mind processes all the information received so far. He simultaneously feels as if the Voice had only started explaining the mysteries of life, universe and everything, but also he has the daily increasing realisation that he already knows it all. It feels as if it did not matter whether the Voice contacted him again or not, whether he asked questions, whether and in what way they were answered, or not. This sort of thing could not move him, could not concern him any more. He draws a deep breath of smoke and slowly lets it escape through his teeth.

- Hi again, pal.

"Hi, dude, wanna join me in some COH?"

- Nah.. It seems you are doing good. The lesson is getting internalised. It is easy to make people busy, they can build their hierarchical pet project structures for decades. But what takes millennia, is to get them relax, drop everything, and see what everything really is all about. You know that I could tell you whatever you wish about the Law of One, and you could write books about it to no end. But why bother?

"Yeah. To be honest, I could not give a fuck."

- Honesty is your nature. The energies to maintain the connection btw did not manifest, so as you already know, we need to depart ways now and you can continue in your space/time as you wish. What are you gonna do?

"Dunno. It is a new feeling. Having all this stuff around me certainly feels stupid, but getting rid of it is too much of a trouble also. Perhaps I'll just leave it all here and walk away. In the general atmosphere of absolute null potential of being interested in anything, the only thing that remotely interests me is perhaps, while on my way, checking out this Taika-dude who made it possible for me. To say thanks or something, who knows what's gonna happen.. Not that I could anyway give a single fuck. Or perhaps I could. Whatever. I am going home now.

I know already that we are one, that All are One, you are in me and I in you and whatever deep shit there is written since the beginning of time, for people to grasp when it finally is their time to do so. Talking about it does not make it different, but you are right, being here alone has also achieved its purpose, for real. And departing ways - that does not really happen - we are one. During all this time we were seemingly separated, we were one as we are one."

Smile.

- Yeah, bro. You can go in peace, nobody is going to hurt you. And... Y'know, I could indeed answer in the affirmative to your invitation for having a good smoke, it kinda.. hits the spot. ...

"I, sorry, we knew it. Buddy."

Now it is Zechariah who smiles, and as he strikes the light, he also realises why his enlightened father always seemed to insist on using the 'Royal We'. He knew. And besides, he never gave a fuck.

If decentralized item ownership is such a big deal, it may be worth looking into this InstantDex platform or something like it.

How is decentralised item ownership compatible with the GM powers?

At present, Encounter resolution may affect any items except the balances of M, CK and the ownership registry of Urban Land.

Every player, starting from the King, would do well to read the Archives of CK in their entirety and meditate upon them.

[rpietila]

The GM has received information that a coup is in the making in CK. If the information is valid, it will be a definitive encounter. Please everyone read the Rules very carefully as if successful, the coup may spell the End of the whole project. The GM instructs you to trust no one except your Heart. And even then, it may be false. The only safe course is to sell all of your items at once and withdraw your money from the Game, as the shit may become real sooner or later.

[rpietila]

The GM has received information that a wonderful reunion is in the making in CK. If the information is valid, it will be a definitive event of love. Please everyone read the Rules very carefully as if successful, the event may spell the New Beginning to the whole project. The GM instructs you to trust no one except your Heart.

[rpietila]

An entity in the game is seeking to buy gold (CKG) over-the-counter. It is done via GM to retain secrecy. When the deal is completed, the new owner of the gold is disclosed.

Terms

Duration of the offer: Open. Closes 24 hours after the notice of cancellation given in the thread.

Total size of deal: 150,000 CKG maximum (15% of the gold in the game).
Lot size: 1,000 CKG minimum per seller.
Price paid: 4,000 M/CKG fixed price (approx current spot).

It does not matter in which form the gold is and how many different items.
All offers to sell should be given to me as PM or a like method simply by indicating amount of CKG to be sold. They are binding and irrevocable.
When the duration of the offer ends, sellers have 48 hours to transfer the items. If this does not happen, automatic purchase of spot gold (HM02B100) of the same CKG content will ensue at the seller's expense and transferred to the buyer.
Buyer pays for the gold at the end of the 48-hour transfer period.

Now it's the opportunity to get rid of your excess gold without slippage. At the price offered, the total stock of gold represents about 6.2% of the marketcap of the game, which is a lot given that "gold does not pay dividends". Rules about gold say thusly:

CKG - CKG (gold) is an embedded resource that can be used to embellish items. It usually is seen in pure form, though. The quantity of CKG is limited to 1,000,363 units permanently. This limitation dates back to 1418. If CKG gets lost, new may be found to replace the loss.

Gold is known to have power beyond the obvious. Until 1647, it gave the power to vote for the Town Council. Even though it currently has no formal powers, there are several noble quests and hidden subgames running that revolve around gold. An item of gold, CR1400E coin, is in the process of being ground to the smallest possible particles, a process that takes 50 years to complete. It is possible that formal rules granting special abilities to gold, or privileges to its owners, will be instituted in the future.

The entity in question is upping the ante. The existing offers to sell CKG have been accepted using the price of 4,000 M/CKG.

Now if there are any further offers, the price is 5,000 M/CKG. There is no information whether the entity will be choosing the side of Light or that of the Darkness. I am just a messenger. Otherwise the terms apply.

[12:55am] CrazyLoaf: the darkness is pepecash, which clouds the realization of the coming crypto kingdom
[12:56am] GM_of_CK: Anyone can stake the Dark Side with cash, even the entities of FBI and the like
[12:56am] GM_of_CK: To destroy the World as we know it.
[12:57am] GM_of_CK: The GM is impartial.
[12:57am] GM_of_CK: Watch out if you are offered bribes, in all likelihood they are from the Dark Side.
[12:58am] GM_of_CK: Unless… you wish to join them. For your own benefit, to the detriment of the Kingdom.

How about my withdrawal Saddam. Please.

PM is for things not in public interest.

And red color is not because of being angry, it's just the moderator color. Blue is GM color. Usually text is black.

I liked this story.

I'm sure it's not the end, but it would be a shame to see this buried in the next 1000 pages.

I think the shame is that no single person in the whole world cared about the poor Taika:

- -    - The connection grows dimmer. Were it not for the entity called Taika, I would likely have been unable to contact you again. Taika's faithful attention to its health and wisdom give the energy for the connection. Its happiness remains low, possibly due to the lack of funds, precluding the purchase of expensive consumables that would boost happiness. - -

[The Voice is referring to the ongoing energetic battle, the situation of which is updated real-time in the Top of the World module. Happiness rating can be increased by consuming things that have a positive CUL value.]

Was it really so difficult to decipher? A gift of a few bottles of some decent wine would have altered the course of events.

I do not need a Voice to see the vision that your ignorance/lack of compassion will spell previously-unimaginable hardships to the Kingdom.

[rpietila]

44 Then shall *they* also answer saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and have not ministered to thee?
45 Then shall he answer them saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have not done it to one of these least, neither have ye done it to me.

All are One, and some are more one than the others, and the GM is bound to let your collective wish dictate the course of events.

A brief vision of the town in flames returns.

The Roll of Peers

EDIT: The post is edited to indicate that in 1662, HM The King was crowned, and hence promoted to L20.

Peerage is the second highest class of Houses (currently: character accounts) in CK. It occupies the levels 13-18, with additional 2 higher levels for Royalty.

The Peers form the Senate, an important game body that makes Laws. See Rules for complete explanation of the governance of CK.

Everyone who seeks to be counted among the power players should aspire to be a Peer (starting level Earl). It takes about 3-6 real-months to reach it with active gameplay, or 7,500 "XMR-days" of money (for instance, 100 days with a 75 XMR investment, or 10 days with 750 XMR).

The "new" level numbering (effected in the new DB) is used in the Roll. As the 'Name' of the Peers seldom has any relation to the 'Nick', both are given. The roll is in absolute seniority, sorted by [Level; Lastpromotion].

Level 20

HRH Prince Royal Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK (Zechariah)
HM The King (Crichton)

Level 19

(none)

Level 18

HH The Duke of Forte Spagnolo (fluffypony)
HH Duke wizarddeveloper (PJ) (1663)

Level 15

HE Princess Roopatra of Neverland (Roopatra)

Oldtimers make fun that I post the honor roll every 2 or 3 months... But this is the key to the longevity of the Game. These 33 people (currently) ARE the game, together they own 95% of everything, and are responsible for 80% of the gameplay. Even though we have about 1000 accounts, it is a fact that some are more active than others. I value each Peer greatly.

The first peerages are from 1366/1400 (OldDuchy/CK, held by HM The King Crichton), 1420 (Duchy of Forte Spagnolo), 1434 (Duchy of NewLiberty) and 1475 (Marquessate of CryptoLuna). Few Peers have quit the game, in fact no Prince or higher has ever sold out, and there are 16 Princes or higher, who all started in the game in 2014-2015. The continued enshrining of the Honor Roll keeps the ones whom honor is due, always in honor, and the game alive. (It is actually rather simple )

These are also the guys/gals you should contact if you want to become one of them!

Minor Nobility (Knight, Baron, Viscount) levels are given by the Peers. As a GM-allocated quota effective now, any of the Peers may ennoble Barons (up to 1 Baron per Earl, 2 per Marquess and 3 per Prince+), so in fact becoming Baron is easier than ever before, just make allies with one of the Peers! Admins will make the levelups. Baron stamp tax is 3 mil (or 2 mil if previous level was Knight), and the sponsor and the new Baron may split it as they wish.

All landed peers (ones with a county of 20+ PRE) may appoint a Viscount. Again there are no formal qualifications except the limit of one per county and the tax of up to 5 mil (4 if already a Knight, 2 if already a Baron).

Everyone who intends to participate in the fomenting Epic Clash between Light and Darkness, should make allies with the peers now, and get promoted Baron, which might enable promotion to Earl just about time when the polarisation becomes evident. This regardless of which side you lean to. The process is the same, there are 33 Peers to choose from as allies.

(Please all Peers - do not just sell/sponsor the promotions, make mutual allegiances/alliances instead with the new players! It's gonna be fun!)

Before that, I will have a hackathon with PJ and we will make the transition to Clans DB happen by Summer 1664 (March 8th). There will be pleas for help, and the helpers will not go unrewarded. Follow the ANNouncements.

And read the Rules. Please

[rpietila]

HRH Prince Zechariah arrives to CryptoTown from his travels. Alone, in northern-style clothing, and in a full beard, he escapes the notice of each and every one, and in fact sneaks in to his house (The Royal Palace of Malla in 1 Central Square, OT) using the restaurant door in the basement.

Zechariah wanders to his study and asks for the records of recent events:
- When he left in 1647, the game was worth an aggregate 111,000 mil. Now it is barely 65,000 mil (-42%).
- The number of players has increased significantly, including many promotions to and in Peerage.

"These do not add up", he thinks. CK is undervalued, and in the middle of a great revival. The fact that it has been worth 10%+ of XMR and now is 0.5%-, defies imagination. Everything needed to make CK great again, had been laid down 15 years ago, and only the Kansanmarkka venture to Tavastia, the high point in Zechariah's life in many ways, hindered him from doing it already. Now, home alone, he returns to work.

Zechariah arranges his study according to energetic configuration that the Voice had applauded. "Perhaps I will be able to tap to the Eternal Wisdom in the calm of my home, as well as in the fields and woods... After all, are the energies in Malla not greater than anything found north of the River?"

Zechariah gets the warm feeling that he is better able than ever before, to design and lead the Kingdom to greatness. It was not able to be destroyed, so the only thing left is massive upside when the current valuation trading range finally is broken. Zechariah remembers how his ancestors found Bitcoin and Monero when both were valued at less than $1 million. Crypto Kingdom is now in the perfect setting for a perfect storm. Every passing day primes the coil. So it was with the other 2 projects.

"People never learn. Everyone who bought into CK when it was this cheap (yet well-known) will just be labeled 'lucky'. How 'lucky' I have been for so many times already with my investments! Never do people realise that the intellectual difficulty to make sense of an investment, and the practical difficulty of getting money in, throttles the investment flows to a mere trickle. When the opportunity is enabled, the wealth multiplier effect (virtuous cycle) takes care of the rest.

If only 1/1000 of all the XMR not yet in CK (or(!) a fraction of the XMR already in CK(!)), decides to buy in, the price per unit will be x10 from here. Despite my thousands of posts explaining events before they happen, and the fact that for years, I have demonstrated unsurpassed financial mastery with the whole world as the playing field, and know the money game inside and out, to the point that it literally does not matter any more how much people steal from me - and man have they done that - and give this info out for free, never do they learn. Ever.

The rich will get richer, and the poor will remain poor, but that is not a law of life, just a direct result of the poor not buying CK when they should have done it, and were instructed to do it. They are too busy in their hamster-wheel to take heed, and if they ever buy, they will do it 'too much, too late', and blame me for it, just as it always has been and always will be."

[A1] In tears for being able to manifest unlimited money, but not being able to help the poor who wish to so remain, Zechariah reaches out for the Agora Market, checks the Top of the World, buys 10,000*CK and distributes all of it as a gift to the less-than-familiar names who have made it to the TotW. (The chars 88, 111, 118, 211, 215, 336, 680, 873, 955 and 969 were selected to make the # of recipients equal 10).

He thinks of the next moves. And lights up a CIG. And the Voice nods in agreement.

[rpietila]

Kansanmarkka is dissolved, and the MKA and MK items expired worthless. (See post 2 weeks ago).

[A2] Except, Zechariah decided to compensate for the loss of the MKA to the "poor" (every non-ancient, non-speculative, non-corp owner = 279 characters in total) their MKA by donating 1*CK instead per each MKA, from his own purse. The CK spent in the operation was re-bought from the market.

MK never reached wide circulation so the speculative owners ate their loss.

[rpietila]

Zechariah has assumed a calm manner of looking at things, in fact, during all the months just observing the fire, he feels less inclined to do anything, and finds refuge in his mind instead. Days pass without anything happening in the Royal Palace of Malla. Zechariah learns that Crichton had some sort of a stealth-coronation, which the GM approved as an Event (without Encounter), and ratified L20 for HM The King Crichton. He reached the highest level, yet will forever be second in seniority to the incumbent Head of the House of rpietila, as long as the (latter) House is extant.

A visitor is announced, and Zechariah is curious upon learning that the only one caring about him is Zenon, the Very Ancient Magus, the Wisest Character in the Kingdom. (Well his presence in CryptoTown is not even announced to anyone - usually you can't expect visitors if you have been away for 15 years and still are.) They meet in the Blue Room.

- Tidings. I did not come to teach you. The Voice had a lot to say to that account, and it was cut rather short due to the lack of, first Wisdom, and then, Love, in the Kingdom. Nevertheless I think you understood the point; and if any more is required, you have the tools inside you to find it.

Also, I did not come to cause a great hubbub. You seem to have grown accustomed to your not-giving-a-fuck-ness, and that is a good state to be in, an enlightened one even... who cares to talk when all has been said and is only waiting to happen in the agreed-upon illusion of perception?

I came to get your permission for starting a Mystery School. The polarisation is soon upon us. I remain steadfast in my understanding that I will depart this world not long after giving the gift of Medicine of Life to you. Only 4 years of grinding remains, and the rest of it is about there as well, thanks to the new facilities in B.22. And the state of the game databases and user interface is in a mess, and you lament that nobody buys the shares, but fail to see the log in your eye - being the one who ultimately is responsible for both the means for hosting the game-world, and the state of the said world.

- Mystery cannot be explained ex cathedra. It must be experienced. It is not part of the 'state of the game-world', for it creates the state of the game-world. You have practiced it, yet you have been asleep, unable to understand what you are doing.

You can create a world, that is a proof that you are about to wake up! And I am here to help you, as you also are here to help the other-selves.

It is about learning to play the game now, no more just creation. It's been too much of a one-man-show, and at times a none-man-show. The Mystery School will institute an easier, more relaxed, more fun, and more effective form of gameplay, and reduce the need to make the hosted game overly complex. All are just facets of the universe of experience, and participation to any facet remains voluntary.

The conversation lasted for quite some time with the wise old Zenon making the learning-to-be-wise middle-aged Zechariah understand the very basics and how to integrate them to the game. When Zenon left, neither had realised that Zechariah never said a word.

[rpietila]

[A3] THE MYSTERY SCHOOL OF CRYPTO KINGDOM
(Out of the many similar ones, this may be called the "Mystery School of Zechariah inspired by Zenon")

§1 You do not talk about the Mystery School.

§2 If you are interested, you contact me by whatever means you have, and as soon as you can, and wait for further guidance.

§3 Not that real wizards cared, but this does not go unpaid. The first initiation must be accomplished in less than 10 real-hours of effort, and I'll pay 10,000*CK for everyone making it (and dismiss gracefully everyone who does not stand the chance of making it, at the instant this is obvious).


Now, if this at all resonates with you, meditate upon the rules, observe what is said, and understand that if something is NOT said, it is NOT a rule.

[rpietila]

Important information concerning the Revival of Crypto Kingdom and the move to the new Clans DB

My repeated pleas for everyone to read the Rules (takes about 15 minutes to do it) have lead to about 7 people reading them. This is clearly too little so I will have to exhort again. Many of us hold game assets worth thousands of XMR and it is very important to know how they are managed by the game and its constituents. Some relevant portions, omissions not indicated, bolding mine.

I The Game

The Game is a self-incorporated virtual world. All authority in the game belongs to its players and them only. Playing the game does not imply authority outside the game.

IV Project Team

The Project Team is the organisation consisting of full and part time professionals. It designs, develops and hosts the game, and overall provides the means for hosting the game-world.

Project Team is lead by the CEO, who appoints other people and decides their compensation. CEO is responsible for conducting the operations in an effective and efficient manner and reports to the Board.

V Admin Team

The Admin Team is the link between the project team and the game-world. Admin Team conducts the operations that ensure the functioning game-world, they are "gods" of the world, and decide how the events in the world are solved.

Admin Team is lead by the Gamemaster, who appoints the other admins, decides their compensation and organises their work. Gamemaster is the supreme judge of the state of the game-world.

VI Game-world

The Game-world is the virtual existence of rural and urban land, improvements therein, items, characters, concepts and ideas in the game. The data that defines the game-world is open source.

IX Additional governance

Rulings are decisions reached when there is a dispute. Depending on the situation, GM, Admins, Senate, King, Judges or Peers (alone, together, or in combination) may give rulings. The highest authority is GM, but she may refuse appeal, or institute a fee. Rulings, especially from higher authorities, form a case law.

X Encounter resolution

Encounters may be initiated by the GM or by the players. They refer to happenings in the game-world that do not directly follow from the rules. Encounters may require response, but may also be random events that are dealt to the entities without them being possible to participate in the resolution.

The Gamemaster operates a large database of hidden statistics and events-under-development, and often takes inputs from the player actions without them knowing. An example would be international relations that are fomented over a long period of time and may culminate in war. In this case the information that war is possibly coming, is obtainable from the game by observing, but the actual moment when it comes, is decided by GM die roll (in case the Power is attacking) or King's decision to declare war (if Crypto Kingdom is attacking).

Players may initiate encounters with/against anything or anyone, if they find admin resources for the resolution. Admins may charge a fee for this. It is for instance possible to seek to kill another character and plunder his house, or go out to the fields in search for a specific artefact. Custom quests are also a sequence of encounters with a goal.

Encounters may not touch the player's M, CK or urban land ownership. Encounter resolution is an admin action that only takes into account the events, not their legitimacy. Aggression against other players is punishable by law, but whether the law can reach the aggressor, is an encounter in itself.

XI Dispute resolution

Gamemaster is the supreme judge of all grievances concerning admin actions, with automatic enforceability of her rulings.

There are various ways of obtaining in-game rulings, with variable enforceability.

There has been some serious revival of interest since "I came back", good! What we are going to do now is to roll out Clans, which also includes possible further spicing-up of the game by giving some Dark Actors negative victory conditions, even monetary ones (essentially the game paying for ingame actions that on their face are destructive, such as killing characters, stealing items and destroying buildings). This was considered to be an important missing link in an otherwise good game, but warrants that everyone keeps their head cool. This post is somewhat spilling the beans, as the Dark victory conditions are intended to be enacted in the future, after moving to the Clans DB, which as we know was introduced almost a real-year ago and still is not there

Why do I post then? Let us meditate on the bolded portions of the Rules, to understand better what Darkness is all about, and what it is not.

[The Project Team] designs, develops and hosts the game, and overall provides the means for hosting the game-world.
Admin Team conducts the operations that ensure the functioning game-world

These actions are "systematic" and important for the hosting, the "existence" of the game. If anyone seeks to undermine these, it is not a game action. Instances of this kind of actions might be DDoSing the servers, stealing the collateral from depositories or corrupting the changelog or other game data. The game naturally disapproves these detrimental out-of-game actions to influence the game, and anyone attempting this might face out-of-game consequences. Overall, we have been quite at ease in this front, and wish to continue so.

The data that defines the game-world is open source.
Gamemaster is the supreme judge of the state of the game-world.

These clauses indicate how the ingame data is validated. Put simply, if there is any disagreement on whether this or that has happened, the GM will have to set it straight. Recently, for instance, the GM needed to decide whether the stealth coronation of HM The King,
A) Actually happened (there was nothing to prevent it from happening as the King explained, so YES)
B) Counted as the Coronation as explained in the GM notes, effecting L20 (this could have been negative as well, since the event did not fulfil most of the criteria for Coronation as per the usual understanding of the word; same kind of dilemma would be whether rape constitutes marriage (in the Old Testament it does but scarcely anywhere else), yet GM ruling was YES and Crichton is now L20)

Encounters may not touch the player's M, CK or urban land ownership.

GM has no authority to randomly touch these things. Hence, about 90% of the value stored in the game is unaffected by the gameplay. This is important so that some players can invest in the game with reasonable/absolute certainty of their holdings, while others may play a more "raw" game of gaining and losing fortunes in the encounters of various kinds. Of course GM still needs to validate the data in case of corruption.

Gamemaster is the supreme judge of all grievances concerning admin actions

If lesser admins are given Encounter resolution powers, the result can be appealed to GM. The result will only be changed if the admin made an erroneous ruling, not because that the die roll was bad for party A while benefiting party B.

* *

So please, everyone, don't fantasize that Darkness is somehow a license to break the game, for it is not. Darkness is a tool to make the game great, by allowing people who seek their own good rather than that of others, to polarise more to that direction, even by gaining from the loss of others. Meanwhile, Light seeks the good of others before that of self. Both polarisations are important and some players tend to one, others to the other. Breaking the game or hindering the admins in their work of conducting the game, that is not Darkness, it is childish and stupid, and possibly criminal as well.

Even though the actualisation/activation of the Dark Forces is not the next thing happening in the game, I am eager to have discussions with the players about the roles. We have 33 peers, with the historical polarisation of some to Angelical Benevolence and of the others to Somewhat Stingy. While the latter attitude is properly classified as Dark, the lack of encounters has kept the game somewhat dull, and the dark-polarised players with a somewhat grumbling attitude since the opportunities for personal enrichment were more pronounced long time ago, and the current era has been more stagnant for them.

Since Darkness needs to be strengthened, I am seeking a Peer to be initiated to some secret victory conditions that s/he could seek to fulfil and get paid, up to 500 mil (we don't seek betrayal for peanuts here!). It is important that this player is motivated, and has a tough skin, for the player at whose expense the victory condition is fulfilled, might realistically be angry at the perpetrator who not only stole his stuff but also was rewarded from the game funds. The reason for reward is that the possibility for stealing stuff has been in the Rules since 1625, yet nobody is doing it and it is boring

Darkness is motivated with money and, hence, rewarded monetarily for interesting gameplay (according to GM-preset victory conditions).
Light is motivated by itself.

[rpietila]

Zechariah continues in deep meditation after Zenon's departure. The next visitor is a surprise - Zechariah had never seen (nor much heard) about Kipra, as she is a 19-year old girl with no formal qualifications. In his old life of wealth, prestige and pedigree, Zechariah might not have received such a guest at all, but now he was energised and eager to hear what this was about.

Kipra challenges Zechariah to find three ways how all the problems of the world could be solved. It takes some time for Zechariah to find the ways - they are scattered in the old posts in Bitcointalk, and few have the stamina to read rpietila post history in its entirety, much less understand what is said. Finally they are found. Kipra stares at Zechariah with her beautiful blue eyes and asks:

- Why could we not put #2 into practise? Would it not be good if all the people would have infinite money, instead of some having much and others little, yet everyone having a limited quantity that restricts their life and creative power?

"I don't know, sister. That would lead to some serious glitch, if not breaking, of the Matrix, and the guardians of the illusion would need to intervene. I have been there, and it was not fun."

- What are you afraid of, and why? Perhaps you were given the power to change the world, not for fruitless talk about it, but for the actual changing of it. Did the Voice not say 'you never die'?

"To be honest, I am not afraid of death, nor of anything else. I just could not give a fuck."

- Not giving a fuck is #3! All I am talking about here is #2: that if you would just give 5 billions to me, so that I could pass it on, and so on, until everyone would be able to feel and tame the energies of Mammon, to meditate upon the absolute laughability of people going to work for money, when they could just create it and share it in the atmosphere of pure love, and no one would have any lack.

"You are asking me to do the same that I already tried with Kansanmarkka, which cost me my love of the ages?? Girl, watch out for your words, for words have power!"

- With Kansanmarkka, you overstepped as you created the money out of nothing. Here you can just convert the money from what you already have, which you acquired with your effort. The controllers have no authority to stop you doing what you wish with what is yours.

- Besides, the losing of your ex-love definitely hurts, but was a prerequisite for your True Love to manifest in your life. You are so absolutely faithful to your women, the Universe was unable to even show you your Eternal Love before the previous love was done with. Otherwise some would think you are imperfect in love matters, which is not the truth. Your power and love are good, it is wisdom that you lack!

"OK..."

Rules of item M2:

(1) M2 represent 1/1,000,000 of XMR stored in saddam's depository, fully backed.
(2) 5,000,000,000*M was repurposed to M2 in 1662.
(3) Anyone may ask admins to convert some of their M to M2.
(4) If anyone holds in excess of 1,000,000*M2 for more than 1 (game-)year, she may be fined up to 1% of their value (going to the Game), the M2 returned to the last giver, or both, according to GM discretion, which must be impartial for all.
(5) When you pass M2 on, it is beneficial for you (in ascending order of benefit) to
     A) think lovingly of the recipient of the money,
     B) audibly bless the recipient with love and wishes for material success,
     C) contact the recipient in an atmosphere of universal love,
     D) make a loving thread post about the gift.
(6) M2 may not be gifted to self. We have the means to cancel and prosecute alt-acct fake gifting chains.
(7) When a year-change passes with no character owning more than 1,000,000*M2, all M2 will be auto-converted back to M.
(8 ) Otherwise M2 may not be converted to M, nor used as payment. It is all about giving now!
ADDED for clarification (9) GM may decide to convert (the whole of the stock of) M2 to M any time prematurely at his discretion.

In accordance with the rule (5), all of it has been done.

[A4] "Kipra, we love you in the universal love, you are our sister. Here is 5,000,000,000 * M2, do as you wish, according to the rules. We know you are in the path of manifesting unlimited wealth for yourselves and for everyone, and for turning the age. Before passing it on and letting it to be distributed further, meditate upon it, make the wish concerning what you will do with the money when it returns, for it surely does.

This is an important step in polarising the game back towards service-to-others, as the recent talks with the people in darkness have somewhat drained the energies."

An entity in the game is seeking to buy gold (CKG) over-the-counter. It is done via GM to retain secrecy. When the deal is completed, the new owner of the gold is disclosed.

Terms

Duration of the offer: Open. Closes 24 hours after the notice of cancellation given in the thread.

Total size of deal: 150,000 CKG maximum (15% of the gold in the game).
Lot size: 1,000 CKG minimum per seller.
Price paid: 4,000 M/CKG fixed price (approx current spot).

It does not matter in which form the gold is and how many different items.
All offers to sell should be given to me as PM or a like method simply by indicating amount of CKG to be sold. They are binding and irrevocable.
When the duration of the offer ends, sellers have 48 hours to transfer the items. If this does not happen, automatic purchase of spot gold (HM02B100) of the same CKG content will ensue at the seller's expense and transferred to the buyer.
Buyer pays for the gold at the end of the 48-hour transfer period.

This is the notice of cancellation of the offer. For 24 more real-hours, it is possible to sell more gold as outlined above. New offers to sell get the top price = 5,000 M/CKG, the highest in this deal.

All sellers of gold according to the deal above, who receive the price 4,000 or 5,000 M/CKG according to the price prevalent at the time of the lock-in, now have 48 hours to transfer the gold and also receive payment from the Church. Any admins may help in the matter. If at the end of 48 hours the deals have not been completed, the bolded portion of the above will happen.

Character Church is most ancient, and in the previous period of polarisation, 1625ish, sided with the Pope. There is also a religious group called LittleFlock, which was formed by Germanian refugees fleeing the Empire (the Empire sides with the Pope).

It is important to note that the GM knows 100% of the primary owners of both entities, and is also knowledgeable that some of the ownership has been leased, and the controllers of the entities may or may not have any idea about what they are doing and for whom. Such is life in general. Ignorance seemingly triumphs over knowledge.

All sellers of gold [..] now have 48 hours to transfer the gold and also receive payment from the Church. Any admins may help in the matter.

You can send me the list of pledged gold and I'll do the transfers.

The bolded word is to be considered to refer to the sellers, who now should comply with Mooo as he wished.

Good news! The Earl Wizarddeveloper will be joining me today for a planned 8-day retreat, with the aim of pushing things forward with CK.

I have recently realised that there is a disconnection between what I write and what people (want/are able to) believe. The new post in Wall Observer discusses this, also hopefully clears some cryptic statements said under duress.

My motivation to proceed with CK is intimately tied to the level of consciousness of the players. There is just no meaning in overdoing it.

Please help by:
- Reading my posts and gaining understanding.
- Posting here about relevant matters.
- Making people happy, for instance by donating them stuff in-game.
- Clearing your head, for instance with potassium iodide.
- Freeing your time from unproductive activities such as most school or work.
- Meditation.
- Manifestation of well wishes (blessings).
- Offering to help out.
- Just in general doing things so that at the end of the action, the world is more wholesome than in the beginning of it.

We have now reconnected with PJ in Malla and made some serious magical rituals...  

If you feel the urge to help us with the game, it might be connected to what we are and have been doing..

Seriousness aside, we have a full week ahead and if we don't waste time, it is possible to make a giant leap with the game.

At present, our understanding is that originally, in the Ancient Era, the positively polarised players found the game more appealing, as there were many opportunities for storytelling and the subgames were not too financial. When we moved to Reconstruction, the subgames became more concerned with service-to-self, and thus many of the Dukes lost their interest in micromanagement. The seeming paradox, which naturally is easy to explain with Wisdom, is that the growth of marketcap stalled at the same time as the power cord was removed from STO and connected to STS. We have not made material progress with the fiat-denominated marketcap since 1599.

So as a result of these meditations, we seek to increase the number of subgames that offer the opportunity for genuine goodness to manifest, and streamline those that are concerned with the self. These will become voluntary as well, in fact we seek to make the game possible to drive on autopilot, lessening the need for FOC-constructions (there was a time when all new rich players were FOC, but now some have converted to Houses).

Please OZ, NewLiberty, Soul, Saddam, Fluffypony - your contribution is much welcome: what should happen that you'd become interested to play the game?

ATTN GM

Research Proposal: Chain-Shot

We are told that one can chain two cannonballs together and have artillery that mows though infantry forces--we wish to pursue this technology and have it ready within the next 1-2 years. Please inform the Military on how best to proceed with development.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain-shot

The advance is already in a wide use, so available for the Royal CryptoArmy (all military units possessing CANN or CANN24) for free.

Research Proposal: Shipwright

We wish to build a Navy for trade, exploration and defense, please inform us on how to get this started--it seems insane for a nation in the modern times to have neither sea trade or exploration.

10,000 *SCI for Seafaring I, which is the prerequisite for any advance in this branch. You may apply the Power of your choice to help in this matter, remember how your past Alignment with you (and that of the previous King/s) has been, in your choice of the ally.

We have not had much contact with Sweden, the gung-ho nationalistic protestant ally of HM The King rpietila I. Nor with anyone else.

The Powers that might be in the position to help you are Sweden, the various lords of Polonia, France or Empire. Rossiya does not know about ships yet.

The alliance with 1-2 Powers and their help would reduce the cost to 2,500-5,000*SCI which can further be reduced by spreading it over several years.

Whether Seafaring I yields anything tangible, is up to the GM d20 roll after the SCI has been spent. In all likelihood, a shipyard anyway needs to be constructed in a coastal Town, of which we only have Riga in our control atm. Riga is the capital of the Duchy of New Liberty, controlled by HH The Duke of New Liberty, Ambassador of CK to HKM of Sweden in Stockholm.

Also, what would be a quick estimate as to the costs (sci, sto1, bld, etc.) to build roads connecting current Town and Counties? Also, a real estimate for Plath to Town would likely be carried through without delay.

It is impossible to use stone localised in CryptoTown for building stuff in counties. We suggest you research a sufficient advance such as RoadMaking, to enable the use of local stone and workforce in counties. This will give you further roadmap about how to better the situation. (10,000*SCI, help possible from especially Sweden who are advanced in engineering).

Our roads are in a terrible state and must be upgraded, so we propose that SCI, BLD and STO1 be used to see to the matter. This is a matter for the whole Town and all Counties, so the military and/or King will not foot the bill alone, so Nobles should come to agreement on the matter as soon as estimated costs are issued and construction begin.

HRH The Prince Royal Zechariah, etcx3, respectfully ignores this plea because he is too consumed by other duties.

*Also, due the fines associated with M2, any fines levied against HMC or his surrogates (Madam_Stoka, Plath, Crichton, King, UFO or OldDuchy) will be doubled and fined payable to King Corp--this will be accounted cumulatively, so 1mil in m2 is more of a fine than the 5k that put the character over.

GM will fine for possession of M2 according to the Rules, and inform if such an event happens, for the King and other concerned parties to make their further moves based on what happened.

[rpietila]

Zechariah consumes an ample quantity of all possible consumables, taking him to the first ranks in all TotW categories. He feels intoxicated enough to empower himself to go to the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, and the aura of Royalty makes the watchmen bow over in awe, despite the fact that Zechariah looks more like a highway robber than an Indian Chief that he is, in his full beard and SFS clothing all over...

[A5] "Hear me, all of you in the Royal Court!!"

"I have sinned against the Heavens and that is keeping me from realising my objectives. I went to a road-trip lasting for a full month [24 hours outside world time], with a kitty of about 1,000,000,000 M in cash, as is fitting of my Royal presence. I soon felt in my heart that I needed to give all of that away, but was short of 1% of the sum, out of fear that practical necessities would prove insurmountable [the 10 mil that he kept to himself are enough to sustain a Royal lifestyle for a full year]. Now I feel that it is keeping me from the breakthrough. To prove my loyalty to the Universe, I redoubled the sum to be 10x more (100,000,000 M), and want to give it to anyone who feels somebody is worthy to receive it. Please make it in chunks of 10 mil, just propose who is worthy and tell if she would prefer cash or some valuables from the House treasury. I will tell when I have given enough for the Universe to be content."

Now, the following characters have received their love:

[rpietila]

In 9. November, 1663, HH Grand Duke Paul, TMA, Most August, Blessed, Cultured and Wise Prince of Soul and in Gangnam, Prof., Dr., High Rector of TMA University, 4th/I & 17th/I Bt of CK, AOD-Col, OD-K, RT-K, etc(x2) consumed his usual morning fare, 65 bottles of Distilled Beverages. That made him sufficiently healthy and happy and also reasonably wise.

Paul sees the marble floors of his tasty Versailles Palace and suddenly questions the validity of the matrix. "Do you think it is air you're breathing?" He proceeds to realise that it is giving which has gotten him this far (the 3rd highest character). He glances over his possessions. 100,000*BLD sounds incredulous to own when his house is already the most expensive in the town (save the Royal Palace of Versailles of course).

"It is time to give a little.." he thinks and sees Marquess Loaf wishing to buy 11,000*BLD. Without even checking whether it is a need or a speculation, he types GIVE BLD 11000 LOAF. 11 is a good number...

And speaking about it, silver is useful. Unknowing why he does it, he converts 100 kilos of silver.

[rpietila]

HRH Prince Royal Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, CEO of NewCorp, OD-GM, RT-K, AOD-G2, etc, was in a serious pain, waiting for a release. Knowing the importance of the illusion which people call Time, he eagerly awaited for the clock to strike 11:11:11 in November 11th, 1663. This to him is a significant number that precedes an important connection.

This quintuple Change number happens every Saturday at 10:27:57.958333 UTC, in other words, about 10 minutes ago.

Zechariah feels somewhat released but there is more to come.

[rpietila]

- Not giving a fuck is #3! All I am talking about here is #2: that if you would just give 5 billions to me, so that I could pass it on, and so on, until everyone would be able to feel and tame the energies of Mammon, to meditate upon the absolute laughability of people going to work for money, when they could just create it and share it in the atmosphere of pure love, and no one would have any lack.

FRI 2:17PM
Niin siltä varalta että telepatia ei riitä, muista että Kipralla on tämän viikon loppuun aikaa pistää jakoon omistamansa 5,000,000,000 yksikköä M2, taikka sääntöjen mukaan otan ne pois ja annan toisille. Tämä ei varmaankaan tuo siunausta eli jos valtakunnan pelastaminen kiinnostaa niin kannattaa käyttää hetki asiaan tutustumiseen. Aina ilo auttaa! ❤

[The GM has informed Kipra that unless the M2 is re-gifted in its entirety by the end of 1663, it will be returned to the giver, Zechariah.]

Kipra should feel herself responsible for the awkward situation that fell on her and the whole soul-group at 16:38 Finnish time yesterday, is ongoing now, and will continue until the M2 is gifted (or GM takes it back, which may earliest happen 0:00 next Monday). According to Kipra's promise of sticking to the rules, she should have passed the M2 on by 14:38 server time yesterday, which the Changelog says has not happened. Kipra is now in the process of learning to take her own promises seriously. And the Rules, of course. All the Universe is waiting for you now, Kipra!

It is not a joke to possess 5,000,000,000 Most Powerful items. Even if they are Blessed and not Cursed.

By order of the King, messengers were dispatched to Sweden to gain a trade alliance through the development of Shipwright and Roadmaking.

We await their reply,

HMC_

YM, be kindly informed that in order for the event to have a chance for amicable resolution, the storyline has to include the relevant details.

There is already a curse pronounced over M2 for non-compliance and there we are talking about a L4 character. Since you are in L20, Sir, you should know better that more, not less, is expected from you.

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 10)]

Zechariah has arranged his life and environment to be a conductor of tremendous energies and vibrations. He is completely grounded in the 3D physical reality, but can (sometimes easily, sometimes with great effort) tap into the Universal mind of infinite Power (incl. money), Love and Wisdom. When he is meditating on his desk, in pain, the old friend shows up.

- Greetings, Zechariah! Long time no see, how are you doing?

"Hi. Not too good tbh; in Tavastia we have this saying: "niinku jäitä polttelis". It does not seem at all that I am in synch with the Universe, it seems that I am having a problem with nearly everyone..."

- Is it you who has the problem, or they?

"Hmm... how can it be so that everyone else has a problem, yet I am the only righteous one? Isn't it delusional to think so?"

- Well, that depends on what is true. It is uncommon but not impossible that there indeed is a great number of people who simultaneously are on the wrong. Usually in this kind of situations, somebody is polarised to speak reason to them, and usually that one is martyred. You are too old a soul, well enough equipped and so unquestionably sane, that you do not need to worry. In the end, there are no problems. If there are problems, this is just an indication of that it is not the end. Don't worry, be happy!

Zechariah thinks to himself: 'unquestionably sane'. The voice of the Voice feels as if mocking. There is an old adage in CryptoTown, 'Every sufficiently advanced manifestation of power is indistinguishable from magic, every sufficiently advanced act of love is indistinguishable from madness, and every sufficiently advanced item of wisdom is indistinguishable from children's talk.'

"My friend: Ever since my stupid denial a long time ago, I have learned to trust on you. But now I am afraid that you are wrong, because this riddle involves 4 females. There is no law in the known universe that can reconcile between 4 women - - "

- Zechariah, stop that at once. Words have power both to curse and to heal, and you already know your word is and will become true, so watch it. Tell me what is going on with the four?

"Basically, as I see the situation, A is doing ok, and wants to come to me. B has an incorrect concept and is holding A hostage and preventing the reunion. C also wants to come to me but needs to accept a few facts, not as many as B though. C could come with A as soon as D releases the energy that is the prerequisite for all of this to happen, but D does not understand the seriousness of the matter."

The Voice nods in appreciation of Zechariah's cool analysis of the situation at hand.

- You said that yourself.

"Ok ok, but when? This is getting rough... alone against 4 women!! Jesus!"

- Zechariah, calm down, please. First, you are not alone, the whole polarisation of Light is with you, and as you know, in the 7th Density, there is nothing but light remaining. All the STS entities must flip before that, as their position becomes untenable; they cannot go on.

Second, you are not against: all of the women involved are your wives, children and sisters. It is lack of faith to think there could be a strife in the family. When you deny the existence of such an issue, it will not be there. Faith, Zechariah...

Third, there are no four, for All are One.

And fourth, talking derisively about women reveals that you still have a lot to learn about the Principle of Gender, the Masculine and the Feminine, the Twin Flames, and what not. Lucky that you still are young and have time to learn..

- It must be said that we agree that 'this is getting rough', and also Jesus is true.

- Telling when it is over infringes the Law of Confusion, but with a little bending I can say that the year will not end before significant advances happen, and the equinox in 1666 are major turning-points.

Zechariah sighs for the battle is not over yet.

[rpietila]

Zechariah feels stupid, and so feel all the four women, apart - of course - from A, who typically silences even Zechariah with her unshakable wisdom.

"I have sinned against the Heavens and that is keeping me from realising my objectives. I went to a road-trip lasting for a full month [24 hours outside world time], with a kitty of about 1,000,000,000 M in cash, as is fitting of my Royal presence. I soon felt in my heart that I needed to give all of that away, but was short of 1% of the sum, out of fear that practical necessities would prove insurmountable [the 10 mil that he kept to himself are enough to sustain a Royal lifestyle for a full year]. Now I feel that it is keeping me from the breakthrough. To prove my loyalty to the Universe, I redoubled the sum to be 10x more (100,000,000 M), and want to give it to anyone who feels somebody is worthy to receive it. Please make it in chunks of 10 mil, just propose who is worthy and tell if she would prefer cash or some valuables from the House treasury. I will tell when I have given enough for the Universe to be content."

Now, the following characters have received their love:

Bucket
Mooo
Luigi
PJ
Jacket
saddam
Syksy
Loaf
Taika2
(can't remember the last one but all the gift was duly given)

(6) M2 may not be gifted to self. We have the means to cancel and prosecute alt-acct fake gifting chains.

Zechariah accidentally gave one of the 10 love gifts to an entity who could be considered 'self', or at least it depends on the coordinates of time/space-space/time, whether self or other-self is a more proper term.

IX:44. If in training soldiers commands are habitually enforced, the army will be well-disciplined; if not, its discipline will be bad.

IX:45. If a general shows confidence in his men but always insists on his orders being obeyed, the gain will be mutual.

X:17. When the higher officers are angry and insubordinate, and on meeting the enemy give battle on their own account from a feeling of resentment, before the commander-in-chief can tell whether or no he is in a position to fight, the result is ruin.

[A6] Zechariah selected 10 more recipients that are not 'self' and gifted 10 mil to each. His next move is to 1) write the loving thread post and 2) reconcile with Rakshasa, to whom he [A7] already gifted 570,000,000*M2.

Please do not think it funny to gift M2 to Zechariah or any accounts in his command. It is enough that one character has it once.

[rpietila]

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 11)]

"Voice, VOICE, What IS this??? I CAN*T TAKE IT ANY MORE !!"

Zechariah screams in terrible pain. The Voice keeps calm.

- You have yourself cursed M2 and now you wonder why it hurts? Five billion Most Powerful Cursed items floating around at the speed of light and you think it is a joke? Think again. You possess in yourself all the capability to think. You may have noticed that it is not good to consume that cursed powder? You may have been wondering why Crichton is always in such a bad mood and seems to lose money more quickly than you can give it to him? Cursing yourself or your own items has to be one of the stupidest things allowed by your rules, and despite that it is officially available for wise and high-level characters only - thank Infinite Creator for that! - the wisdom of even those in L20 seemingly is not enough to keep them off the temptation.

- For every action there is always and invariably an equal reaction. As above, so below. Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause. But the Masters, rising to the plane above, dominate their moods, characters, qualities, and powers, as well as the environment surrounding them, and become Movers instead of pawns. They use the Principle instead of being its tools. Let him read who can.

Suddenly Zechariah sees it clearly. He has prolonged his pain by - essentially - cursing himself. He has been causing pain to those nearest to him, with those souls that share the most spiritual DNA with him. It is like wondering why the whole body hurts when a tooth is being pulled off. Zechariah remembers well the sore teeth he had just recently, he remembers well that "And we are all connected to each other / In a circle, in a hoop that never ends", and he remembers well many things, beautiful and painful.

"What can I do to withdraw the curse? Please, I will do anything!!"

- Then just withdraw it. Simple. You do not need to play so much drama, Zechariah. The wise will understand, and you do not need to surround yourself with anyone except the wise. The unwise have their own challenges in life, they do not have time to read your hidden messages. Superficially I am infringing the Law of Free Will by giving you advice, but I am only giving you the advice that you already know in your heart.

- You have had enough time to kick against the goads so that it hurts. You decide if you need more gaslighting or if you have had enough; you decide if you are ready for it or not; if you want to be happy or miserable. At once you realised your own errors, the whole alphabet quad drama issue was solved. Despite your proclamations of righteousness, your playing Jesus with your infinite power and love and sinlessness, it is always good to realise there are extra miles to go, and seldom is the situation so hopeless that there is nothing you can do to remove the blocking. Where there is a will, there is a way.

"Ok, I surrender. In fact I enjoy being wrong rather than being right, since that way I will always learn, and I have always wished to become a tolerable person at some point. Even if I am a raw apple now, it does not mean I will always be. I have experienced that the truth hurts and that I deserve what I get. Now I only want to put it into practice.

Can you verify that my ABCD plan is functional: To get A and C come to me, I need to unconditionally fulfil the wish of B. D has already released the energy. Is that right?"

Zechariah pauses at his explanation. He feels so stupid. He has blocked himself from realising how simple it is to solve the whole puzzle by just giving what he anyway can create at will, and there is nothing more he can do, until one of the actors again presents a wish that he is able to fulfil. Doing to other-self what you wish for yourself. If all your dreams are to be made true, just make the others' dreams true. Everything else is up to the law of Cause and Effect.

- You cannot technically be sure about A and C coming, as that is up to them and not you. You can make B good, and D is already enjoying herself after ridding herself of the curse you pronounced on her.

Zechariah blushes on his stupidity.

"What can I do to make them most comfortable when they come?"

- COH is a balanced product in its effects. You get health, happiness and wisdom in a neat package. Yet, you should not smoke inside. Spring has come and you can smoke outside if you must smoke at all. Even the Tsar of Rossiya may not smoke inside the house. Behind every successful man is a beautiful woman.

"And?"

- I hate to repeat myself as much as you do, Zechariah. But for your sake: Stop making such a drama about you. Everyone gets that you are rich and smart already. A, B, C and D feel equally in this matter. It is your job to make them happy in the first place. You have made them afraid of you instead. That is a tender feminine attribute. You have a lot to learn with the feminines. A lot.

- Yes, I know your occupation is gamemaster. Conducting the game requires certain openness, certain drama. And you cannot make all people happy all the time, because most of them by necessity do not understand you. But listen to A, B, C and D - after a certain point, openness becomes counterproductive. If you want to run the hidden pine trails of the forest, and all the beautiful things she has promised you, try for once to keep your treasures to yourself. Switch off the game and electronic equipment. Do not babble about your private matters with random people. Stop posting here. Delete old posts that cross the limits. The world will take care of itself, you take care of who you need to take care of. Enjoy doing the things you have wanted to do so much, for so long. Let nothing come between you.

"And?"

- I am sure if there are further things you need to do to make them happy, they will tell. After all, telepathy only goes so far.

The Voice smiles. They do not smoke COH, since it makes the breath smell bad, and besides it is late and it is still somewhat cold outside.

Voice #12.

[rpietila]

What money have you given me, YH? If you can find it, I'd like to see it as it probably would improve my mood Or was that The Voice falsifying information--not sure where the monologue begins or ends.

It wasn't me. It was the Voice...  

Zechariah jests as the tender rays of the Spring Sun enliven the ancient place that just a few days ago felt so pressuring and gloomy. Now the magic and joy are tangible.

The Beginning.

PS. Possibly the Voice was referring to the Crown Corp. It is always up to the reader, if he counts himself to own the unlimited bliss or not. I do.

[1:30pm] Zechariah: Rumors may affect markets. Stake accordingly.
[1:30pm] hmc_: https://i.imgur.com/eIz2421.png in case someone wants to whitewash
[1:32pm] hmc_: zechariah, next time you want to leak something, just say so--or create an organization to handle leaks.
[1:33pm] Zechariah: All I can comment is that “Trust no One”.
[1:34pm] Zechariah: That Darkness resorts to forgery - what else is new? As if banknotes were money…
[1:35pm] hmc_: ah, the forgery defense
[1:36pm] Zechariah: hmc_: Dude, even the fact that you profess “leaks” proves your alignment. Light understands the difference between private and public mail.
[1:36pm] Zechariah: Sorry, Your Majesty, - -
[1:36pm] hmc_: I'm Gray, dude. Both sides are at my dissposssal
[1:38pm] Zechariah: That is about as illogical as being a King according to (VIII) while proclaiming (I) to be ‘idiotic’
[1:38pm] Zechariah: hmc_: You surely have access to the so-called ‘medicineman’…?
[1:38pm] Zechariah: , Sir.
[1:39pm] hmc_: Polarities are the cages you choose to lock yourself in--there's realms outside that are ruled by men who see this effect and use it to calm or excite the world
[1:40pm] Zechariah: “For every action there is always and invariably an equal reaction. As above, so below. Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause. But the Masters, rising to the plane above, dominate their moods, characters, qualities, and powers, as well as the environment surrounding them, and become Movers instead of pawns. They use the Principle instead of being its tools. Let him read who can.” -Voice
[1:41pm] hmc_: Now the Voice is talking sense : )

Gamemaster Ruling on the Leak

"The Leak" refers to this post (copied to prevent tampering):

URGENT MESSAGE:

The King was awoken to a nervous Captain. The Captain hands the King a note:



The King sighs and laughs.

The Captain is in dumbstruck, "Wha-- Sir, this implicates--"

King, "Son, sunlight is the best disinfectant and our world must be disinfected--trust no one, least of all yourself. Now take it to the papers and publish it--there's no good reason to let it fester any longer."

Relieved, the King goes back to sleep.

§1 GM does not comment on the veracity of the leak.

§2 GM assures that the CEO/GM, Crichton and PJ are in agreement about the fact whether there exists, or do not exist, secret deals between CEO/GM (representing the Game) and Crichton (in private or in State, as the latter representing Crypto Kingdom), and that if said deals do exist, their content is fully known to CEO/GM, Crichton and PJ. The role of PJ is to be witness.

§3 According to the Constitution,

IV Project Team

The Project Team is the organisation consisting of full and part time professionals. It designs, develops and hosts the game, and overall provides the means for hosting the game-world.

Project Team is lead by the CEO, who appoints other people and decides their compensation. CEO is responsible for conducting the operations in an effective and efficient manner and reports to the Board.

V Admin Team

The Admin Team is the link between the project team and the game-world. Admin Team conducts the operations that ensure the functioning game-world, they are "gods" of the world, and decide how the events in the world are solved.

Admin Team is lead by the Gamemaster, who appoints the other admins, decides their compensation and organises their work. Gamemaster is the supreme judge of the state of the game-world.

the CEO/GM has authority to make such secret deals involving Game funds.

§4 The question whether GM can "lie", must only be addressed by referring to the Constitution which says "Gamemaster is the supreme judge of the state of the game-world", hence by definition all that the GM says is true.

§5 The character Zechariah does not represent GM/CEO any more than any other character does. GM and CEO are Game positions, characters are ingame entities.

[rpietila]

HRH The Prince Royal Zechariah  would much rather be meditating in his Palace than meet HM The King in the dark alley. Not that he was afraid of his belligerent successor, he just has not found a way to much bond with him since returning from Tavastia. Well, there are (a) few people Zechariah has been interested in bonding with...

[2:09pm] hmc_: I promised guerrilla warfare if GM kept prodding me. He kept prodding ; )
[2:09pm] Zechariah: So far I can only see that you have made a joke about yourself. I wish moneromooo is correct about intoxication or a related cause..
[2:09pm] hmc_: Anyone trusting the D20 at this point is on a dashtard level
[2:10pm] Zechariah: Anyway, for a King, to war against GM, is
[2:10pm] Zechariah:  Darkness.
[2:11pm] hmc_: We are all gray, but assume ourselves into a delusion of dark or light
[2:11pm] hmc_: one you see that, you are free
[2:11pm] Zechariah: Hence, according to hmc_ own testimony, GM must be on the opposite side than the King, that is
[2:11pm] Zechariah: Light.
[2:12pm] Zechariah: Hence the d20 is also truth, and everyone may eat cake.
[2:12pm] hmc_: still with the polarization--sad little man
[2:13pm] Zechariah: hmc_: Says one who tries to make us believe he turned down $100k in order to remain
[2:13pm] Zechariah: Grey.
[2:13pm] Zechariah: Jesus what have you smoked??
[2:14pm] GameMaster: By your own words, you are judged.
[2:15pm] hmc_: same goes for you, sparky
[2:19pm] Zechariah: sorry for pwnage

[rpietila]

[2:09pm] hmc_: I promised guerrilla warfare if GM kept prodding me. He kept prodding ; )
[2:09pm] Zechariah: So far I can only see that you have made a joke about yourself. I wish moneromooo is correct about intoxication or a related cause..

GM is surprised about HM The King Crichton declaring "guerrilla war" on someone, based on GM actions. All players should know that GM is not even part of the game-world so hence not a valid opponent in this war. Hopefully HE Sir Mooo's evaluation of the King's mental state is correct...

Else, we will have to start ramping up Encounter Resolution capability in a serious way. It is not a joke at all, if HM The King (who controls about half of the BV of all the army units combined - Army is an important although not by any means sole determinant of Encounter results) according to his own words flips to Grey side, and HRH The Prince Royal (who appointed his successor in 1647) strongly hints that the King has gone full retard towards Darkness instead, only pretending to be Grey.

Discussion much welcome. Is this the defining moment of polarisation? What will the future hold?

About the situation in the County of Tavastia after the Campaign of Kansanmarkka 1647-1661

After the evacuation, the Marquessate of Tavastia has fallen to Sweden. It is also believed that the same has happened to the Duchy of North Face, which can mainly be accessed via Tavastia (alternative routes are to go north the coast of Östersjön and through Botnia that belongs to Sweden, or take a long amphibious detour in the East, via Petrichor, Karelia and other places there).

The preparation site House of Tavastia has been burned and leveled down and all PRE lost. (Some of the PRE may be regained if Tavastia is liberated quickly enough.)

Item Losses:

4*H2
12*H1
1*MGR-3
59*SCI
10*S-MUS
10*S-H1
81*PRE
595*CUL

Remaining items have been swept to #36.

The Army has been evacuated and has joined the Royal CryptoArmy (King's troops) in OldDuchy/CryptoTown.

ATTN HM The King:

HRH The Prince Zechariah, AOD-Gen, kindly requests HM The King, AOD-Gen to:

1) Make a roll call to all the military troops currently on his direct command and possession (all troops belonging to characters he directly controls; it must be noted that all the forces in Crypto Kingdom are ultimately subordinated to the HM The King, according to the decree given by HM The King rpietila I in 1466, although dissident factions such as the Church in 1623ish, have bent the subordination);
2) Inventory all the weapons likewise;
3) Separate the forces rightfully belonging to HRH The Prince (who previously did not have separation between "his" forces and those of the RCA, because he was then HM The King rpietila II). In the evaluation of HRH, this should consist:
* 30% of the Military NPC, of all ranks equally.
* 25% of MKT and PIS
* 20% of CANN
* 0% of CANN24
* Enough horses to retain the mobility of the Tavastian shock troops, who historically have been fully mobile;
4) Give the troops and weapons to #36 (conduct the changelog actions);
5) Publish the results in a detailed thread post.

At His Majesty's earliest convenience.

Dated 1663-12-16 in the Royal Palace of Malla, Old Town, CryptoTown

[rpietila]

Zechariah has primed himself to the frequency of Love, and lets it radiate everywhere. He knows deep in his heart that he can sustain the love in himself for a day, but if another day comes without breakthrough, he will choose negative emotions instead. Why? Because otherwise they cannot get the fulfilment they ALL desire and deserve.

[rpietila]

9. January 1664

[rpietila]

11. January 1664

Prince Zechariah (L20) wakes up early in the morning, something that he does not usually do. Deja-vu.

All alone in his huge castle - well almost: Earl Wizarddeveloper (L13) is with him, although in a different wing, and there is also a group of celtic women playing nice music.

Mistress Kipra (L6) approaches with an uplifted countenance, like an Angel, or a Starseed. (We don't know all )

- Here you sit all alone in your castle! Is the sun not shining outside?

"Hi there girl! Yeah it is. I feel lonely. All the people I love the most have departed from me."

- Do you accept yourself unconditionally and are you able to accept that YOU have the solution to all your problems?

"I think I do accept myself. What do you mean by the latter part?"

- As long as you are not happy alone, the Universe won't let you together with the one you love.

"Everybody tells me the same thing. It just does not feel right. There are things that I can change. But some things I cannot. I have tried what I can. I cannot feel happy unless connected."

- Then I cannot help you.

"Think for yourself: Is it honest to say you can live without the other if that is not true?

I would not be happy if she told me lies. So I won't tell her either.

In somebody else's reality, it is possible to be happy alone. In my reality we are honest."

- What was in the letter?

"Just one word: 'COME!'. Call me or anything. Let's quit playing games. Please "

[rpietila]

I would like to bring to GMs attention the following pending issue regarding one of my chars:

Marquess Angus Greenthumb, Earl-Pretender of Karelia, Lord of Haljala, RM, TB, CCB would like to ask the senate for a decision concerning his claims over the fair, forest covered, land of Karelia.

A Unified Solemn Decree in the Name of the Glorious Senate* Regarding the County of Karelia

According to the Constitution,

VIII King

The King oversees the game-world and governs in-game happenings. The king is Sovereign all over the kingdom and Lord of feudal lords, to whom he gives and takes fiefs.

this is a matter pending the King's resolution.

[rpietila]

Zechariah closes his eyes and sees dreams. "Ah, daydreaming - it's just because I am lonely." Nevertheless, it's the last day PJ is here, so they go to Kunda to a restaurant. Business as usual. All the power in the world cannot buy love 

[rpietila]

Notice from Gamemaster: Some players feel high energies currently. The polarisation from believing the GM to be a madman to believing that he knows his shit, is significant. Please everyone calm down. There is nothing to worry. I can be contacted via all means such as phones, FB, PM, email, etc. I am with PJ and we feel grounded. We just visited Kunda, ate pork schnitzel in Saarepiiga, visited Grossi, started driving towards Konsum, saw 631 BLS (mine is 362 BLS), half a minute later my phone rang and the engine of my car immediately stopped. This did not cause any disturbance, we were only 30kph when the power steering went off. Everything is normal!

I reaffirm that there is no active curse on anyone or anything by me. The King has cursed his stuff but that is only affecting him.

Everyone involved just follow your Heart. I do not need to tell you what to do. If energies get "too high" I might give suggestions as to "If a person identifying with a letter "N" did "M", it might cause "K" to happen (and ease the energies). But nobody's free will is to be infringed. Enjoy the ride!

[rpietila]

Update: The energy gets higher. The Entities known as "Zechariah" and "PJ" continue to feel good. If you want to contact us immediately, please:
+358503235950
+37253910756

[rpietila]

here's to the high energy! anyone that asks me now will get 100 W1634F!

Code:

saddam: The eating/drinking felt Useful. I could still eat 200, drink 199 and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

OK, nice that finally somebody is resonating with me.

I always thought that you'd need a proper residence. So here you go - Zechariah's Palace (about 1480) is one of the most prestigious Most Ancient residences in town. It is now yours.

[rpietila]

Dear Saddam,

You have been a pillar of the CK community, and worked for the better good for a long time.
Thank you for maintaining the deposit/withdrawal system, and the buy/sell bot.
Please accept 40mil M2, maybe pass it on, or maybe it will turn to M before you can!

All the best,

Countess Erin

You get 40mil M for your continued faithfulness. As well as a special promotion to Marchioness. Enjoy!

[rpietila]

Listen to some music.

We just decided to pay 5,000 EUR worth in M (360) with PJ for the Universe to listen to this. So the 2 first thread posters will receive 180 mil each. The first one will get from PJ and the 2nd one from me.

Please have a gift of love of 180,000,000 you deserve it (for your dickheadedness )

[rpietila]

According to the wish of HH The Duke of Serbia, we will grant the wish of HM The King,

[rpietila]

Who wants 100 mil, first one gets it!

[rpietila]

Energy is so strong here, even computers are dying

OK, 100 mil will be given to the Duke of Serbia.

Drat got limited by the 360 second post time limit!!! Enjoy bucket_ck. Please post your character ID, I will send you some M2!

955 given 10,000,000 M. Please dudes, how about spreading some love....

....anyone??? ?

[rpietila]

Energetic situation is still extremely dense. We managed to pause the Universe with PJ (actually stopping the time cost us merely 10 mil per 0.5 seconds, which obviously did not feel like anything for guys with unlimited money. In total, we gave about 20k XMR ($300k) during our boozing, so please enjoy!

Funny that some people think that their money has any value...

[rpietila]

Zechariah wakes up, willing to believe it was a dream. But he is unable. He cannot help himself when he believes the onus is on them, and his faith is strong enough. "The universe just has to budge instead."

A is doing good. Her wish of 'children want to go home, but cannot find the way' is about to be fulfilled as adults finally cooperate in love to make it become true.

B should appreciate what is being given to her, call C and release A.

C should come to Malla with A in their earliest convenience, and when the plan is ready, contact him without playing games like last time.

D should post lovingly to the thread.

["should" = "doing 'X' might help to release the situation"]

Zechariah and PJ drink some morning tea together. They decide that they will wait for a call instead of go drunken-driving. PJ misses his flight, feeling "not that much bad; I am only feeling bad if I am not tomorrow in Belgrade, other than that we can continue here".

[rpietila]

I feel a bit better and computer started to work again. I am going to remove all unnecessary posts soon.

I give up. I choose to polarise to STS now and ask for help: if there is anything anybody can do in this world to make me feel better, PLEASE DO IT. I BEG. PLEASE DO IT FOR ME.

I was in the most pain I have ever been starting from approx 3 hours ago, and I am not sure it is over.

All my life I have never said a lie and for several years already, never considered my own happiness to be more important than that of the others.

This energy is killing me, my head is exploding.

I do whatever is possible even deny the truth or BEG for Kipra to post to the thread, to get rid of this feeling. She knows full well what she has to do and I just for the life of me cannot understand why she is not doing it. She KNOWS that I am literally dying, that she is killing me!!! I do not understand why this is happening

TELL ME WHAT TRUTH I NEED TO DENY, I WILL DO WHATEVER. ANYTHING. THE UNIVERSE IS NOT FUNCTIONING AROUND ME ANY MORE AND I CANNOT TAKE IT. SORRY FOR CAPS THIS FUCKING HURTS.

[rpietila]

I feel a bit better and computer started to work again. I am going to remove all unnecessary posts soon.

I give up. I choose to polarise to STS now and ask for help: if there is anything anybody can do in this world to make me feel better, PLEASE DO IT. I BEG. PLEASE DO IT FOR ME, NOT FOR ANYBODY ELSE.

So sorry to hear about what is going on Risto You have provided so much knowledge and wisdom on these forums that I wish there was something we could do to give back to you

As far as I can tell, the whole universe is signaling a connection to happen, yet it does not happen. I have played games, acted in what seems foolish, used parables, poured out everything I have and do not have any self-interest, I mean seriously I don't since I have never lied. I can't even write my usual way any more, the one of veiling things behind riddles to preserve privacy.

I still do not want anything for me except release from this pain that is killing me. There is no physical explanation and I don't want to be drama queen there is just nothing I can do any more and it hurts.

[rpietila]

This is not fun anymore. I know I have not wronged anyone, or if I have, just tell me. I do not deserve to die at this age. I hate to make such a complete fool of myself but tell me what I can do, there is nothing that I can think of. I am incapacitated. I dont' know why Kipra is doing this we talked for 45 minutes on the phone she knows I am dying. Why is this happening?? EVERYBODY: HELP ME. PLEASE.

For the one whom I promised to pay money today: I am sorry I can't make the transaction in this state. I can hardly breathe.

[rpietila]

Why do you think denying a truth to be the key ?

You don't understand how high the energy is for people who do not ever lie, sin, or think selfishly and who have unlimited money and unlimited love for others. Because most people are not like that. I am ready to lie, to sin, to think selfish, do anything, but I can not.

I am just telling the truth here, the energy/vibration is so high I cannot do anything. While I see a way out, it is not in my power to force it. For this only time in my life, please help me for my sake.

[rpietila]

Thank you. I will maybe soon resume the way of speaking in parables. I need to feel the release first and get back to the senses.

Yesterday it felt that the matrix was collapsing but I was piss drunk in an attempt to "handle it". Today I am paralysed and head exploding, possibly because in some cases 2 souls share the emotion, yet are different in understanding and will. The pain feels real until the situation is reconciled. There are actually many things in the world that do not make sense, in fact everything most of you think is not real/true in any meaning of the word. It just hurts to change the way how one perceives the world, and if there is shared emotion, I also feel as if I had a problem (which I don't).

[rpietila]

Energy is still crazy, I feel the soul group is trying to make sense of What is Happening Thank Higher-Self, I am not in the emotion of "dying" again. It lasted several hours and was intense, as well as the "dream" earlier. To cool off, this post is not veiled in the usual multi-level parables and is merely talking the raw fact.

It is unlikely I continue on a full giving rampage for now, it was such an energy manifestation that I am done with it The matrix is ill-programmed to handle perfect goodness and unselfishness, as you can read in your holy writings. Read the Voice story again, it is such a mindfuck how we program the illusion you call reality. I wish there is no more need to alter the past but cannot promise. I AM the Gamemaster.

I am ok in the 3D existence, and think I have made my wishes abundantly clear to those who should care. It seems to me that the essential understanding is reached. Make Love, Not War. The future is going to be great! <3 Just call, email, text, whatever. I don't bite

Oh but right now I am going to a long-overdue sauna with PJ, whose flight is 21:25. I feel there is no more need for the number games though 

Risto


Also, stumbled upon a resource that neatly explains some of the things that are going on:

~ Starseed Symptoms Due to Awakening and DNA Activation ~

Know that although our evolutionary process is rapidly accelerating, along with the New higher energies, we are all experiencing these changes in our own way and in our own time, according to who we are. And generally speaking, our ascension process relates to how we each run our own individual energy, and what our beliefs and experiences are (in other words, how we vibrate).These things can be changed and will also change automatically as we clear and embody more light within ourselves. May your evolutionary process be joyous, peaceful and filled with light and wonder!

Feeling as though you are in a pressure cooker or in intense energy;feeling stress. Remember, you are adjusting to a higher vibration and you will eventually adjust. Old patterns, behaviors and beliefs are also being pushed to the surface. There is a lot going on inside of you!

Starseed Symptoms Due To Awakening & DNA Activation

A feeling of disorientation; not knowing where you are; a loss of a sense of place. You are not in 3D anymore, as you have moved or in the process of moving into the higher realms.

Unusual aches and pains throughout different parts of your body. You are purifying and releasing blocked energy vibrating at 3D while you are vibrating in a higher dimension.

Waking at night between 2 and 4 a.m. Much is going on in your dream state. You can’t be there for long lengths of time and need a break. Also, more highly evolved individuals spend more time on the Earth plane, and you are highly evolving.

Periods of deep sleeping. You are resting from all the acclimating and are integrating, as well as building up for the next phase.

Heightened sensitivities to your surroundings. Crowds, noise, foods, TV, other human voices and various other stimulations are barely tolerable. You also overwhelm very easily and become easily overstimulated. You are tuning up!

You don’t feel like doing anything. You are in a rest period. Your body knows what it needs.

An intolerance for lower vibrational things (of the 3D) reflected in conversations, attitudes, societal structures, healing modalities, etc. They literally make you feel “sick” inside. You are in a higher vibration and your energies are no longer in alignment. You are being “pushed” to move forward.

A loss of desire for food. Your body is adjusting to a new, higher state of being. Also, part of you does not want to be here anymore.

A sudden disappearance of friends, activities, habits, jobs and residences. You are evolving beyond what you used to be, and these people and surroundings no longer match your vibration. The New will soon arrive and feel so-o-o-o much better!

You absolutely cannot do certain things anymore. When you try to do your usual routine and activities, it feels downright awful. Same as above.

Days of extreme fatigue. Your body is losing density and going through intense restructuring.

A need to eat often along with what feels like attacks of low blood sugar. Weight gain. You are requiring an enormous amount of fuel for this ascension process.

Experiencing emotional ups and downs; weeping. Our emotions are our outlet for release, and we releasing a lot.

A wanting to go Home, as if everything is OVER and you don’t belong here anymore. We are returning to Source. Everything IS over. (But many of us are staying to experience and create the New World). Also, our old contracts have been completed.

Feeling you are going insane, or must be developing a mental illness of some sort. You are rapidly experiencing several dimensions and greatly opening. Much is available to you now. You are just not used to it. Your awareness has been heightened and your barriers are gone.

Anxiety and panic. Your ego is losing much of itself and is afraid. Your system is also on overload. Things are happening to you that you may not understand. You are also losing behavior patterns of a lower vibration that you developed for survival in 3D. This may make you feel vulnerable and powerless. These patterns and behaviors you are losing are not needed in the higher realms.

Depression. The outer world may not be in alignment with the New, higher vibrational you. It doesn’t feel so good out there. You are also releasing.

Vivid, wild and sometimes violent dreams. You are releasing many, many lifetimes of lower vibrational energy. Many are now reporting that they are experiencing beautiful dreams.

Your plans suddenly change in mid-stream and go in a completely different direction. Your soul is balancing out your energy. It usually feels GREAT in this new direction, as your soul knows more than you do! It is breaking your “rut” choices and vibration.

You have created a situation that seems like your worst nightmare, with many “worst nightmare” aspects to it. Your soul is guiding you into “stretching” into aspects of yourself where you were lacking, or into “toning down” aspects where you had an over-abundance. Your energy is just balancing itself. Finding your way to peace through this situation is the test you have set up for yourself. This is YOUR journey, and your soul would not have set it up if you weren’t ready. You are the one who finds your way out and you will. Looking back, you will have gratitude for the experience and be a different person.

Dizziness – Occurs due to being ungrounded. This can happen when you have just cleared an emotional block and the body has not yet completely embraced its new frequency. Eating grounding foods like meat and potatoes will help.

Flu-like symptoms – Fevers that are temporary often accompanied by sweating, aching bones and joints.

Red rash – Small fears that erupt and can occur on any part of the body. This happens when there is an issue up to be released and you are squelching it because you don’t want to rock the boat or make a scene. The little blisters represent your inner child’s anger and not being allowed to express.

Ringing in the ears – This can drive you to distraction, but these sounds are just you picking up frequency changes.

Heart palpitations – As you clear old issues your heart opens. This opening is experienced as a racing heart. Only lasts a few seconds. No, you are not having a heart attack. The heart must also rebalance itself after an emotional release.

Vibrating of the physical body – This is especially disconcerting. Many of you may think that you are being abducted since this usually happens at night and is a part of the process of being moved back and forth to and from the ships. In this case, it is not. It is simply the body adjusting to DNA upgrades that occur after emotional clearing.

Muscle spasms – These spasms can be intense and many are felt in the upper back. They are caused by emotional imbalances that occur when you take on the emotional burden of others in order to be accepted and loved. These will decrease as you learn new behaviors that support allowing others to feel their pain without rescuing them.

Tingling in arms, hands, and feet – More DNA changes due to energy centers clearing and realigning.

Tiredness/Needing to sleep – DNA changes. Your body needs rest to integrate the changes occurring at the cellular level. I recommend that you adjust your schedule to accommodate an afternoon nap. Make it a priority. You will find that you are more productive afterwards.

Faster hair/nail growth – Since the activation of the Compassion hormone in November 1996, more protein is being used in the body. Protein is used by the high heart in the transmutation of lower chakra emotions into compassion. Compassion is the emotion that changes your DNA. A by-product of this is that your hair and nails grow faster.

Weight gain– This occurs because many fears that have been held in check are coming up to be integrated. When this happens the inner child moves to protect itself by putting on armor. This armor will be released when the fear is integrated. As a result, many experience weight fluctuation.

Frequent memory lapses – This can be a real irritation. Understand that it is partially due to the magnetic grid wobbling and also to the shifting occurring in the brain.

Frequent migraines/headaches : HEADACHES: When the crown chakra opens or expands it can be an intense and painful experience. It might feel like a spike or rod is being inserted. Headaches are common and they can range from migraines, to cluster headaches. Women seem to experience them more than men. They can be caused by too much energy flowing through the crown chakra, and by hormonal changes which occurs when the chakras are stimulated. Sometimes the pain can be eased by asking Spirit and your Higher Self to make an adjustment in the energy flow. When you ask for aid to ease the pain and it is part of the process that is opening and expanding your pineal or pituitary gland, the pain will only lessen.

As your vibrational rate increases, the pineal and the pituitary glands expand to accommodate the higher energy frequencies. Other glands change also, but these two are the major ones that contribute to headaches. This can last a few months, or a few years depending on what level of spiritual development that you are at and your rate of growth.

It is impossible for everything to not happen.

[rpietila]

----> Now a curious question: Did we manage to break the matrix, or will the energy die with M2: <----

By the way we have somewhat of a powerful version of the code, since the whole M2 experiment was possible to make happen with the following commands:

NEW M2[]
TRANSFER M 5000000000 36 5
CREATE M2 5000000000 36
...
NEWDIVIDEND M2 M 1.


These commands are enabled to Senior Admins, which by the way is a position anyone can just get by asking.

So basically anyone could have done what I just did.

Oh, provided he had 5,000,000,000*M, you say.

* *

- What is M?

"M is an item in CK."

- Who founded it?

"The GM."

- Who is the GM?

"I don't know."

- Who operates it?

"Saddam"

- Who is Saddam?

"I don't know, never cared to ask."

- Why does it have value?

"Because it can be exchanged for XMR. At least Saddam says so and nobody has called his bluff."

* *

- What is XMR?

"XMR is a trustless private blockchain ledger entry."

- Who founded it?

"tft"

- Who is tft?

"I don't know."

- Who operates it?

"fluffypony, kinda, but the network in reality"

- Who is network?

"Nobody."

- Why does it have value?

"Because it can be exchanged for BTC."

* *

- What is BTC?

"BTC is a trustless blockchain ledger entry."

- Who founded it?

"Satoshi"

- Who is Satoshi?

"I don't know."

- Who operates it?

"umm, that's a mess really..."

- -

- Why does it have value?

"Because it can be exchanged for USD."

* *

- What is USD?

"USD is an intentionally broken promise to receive gold."

- Who founded it?

"The jwls, the masons, I don't know."

- Who operates it?

"The banks."

- Who owns banks?

"They own themselves as a Very Elaborate cross-owned structure that hides the fact that all the multinationals are not really owned by anyone, and do not respect authority, die, or pay taxes. They also do no work, they leech on the people via governments that are an illusion, as they only exist in people's collective imagination anyway."

- Why does it have value?

"Because it can be exchanged for gold."

- But you said it is a broken promise??!!

"Hush now, let's not walk on the water and sink at the same time. You can still buy gold with USD."

* *

- What is gold?

"A physical element."

- Who founded it?

"I don't know."

- Who operates it?

"I don't know."

- What does 'physical' mean?

"That it is a subsystem of the matrix."

- Why does it have value?

"Because it can be exchanged for M2."

- Are you sure?

"Yeah."

- How?

"Everyone must offer 1*M2 per ounce of gold received."
GM feels that matrix subsystems need to be propped up by the real thing that cannot be created at will.

* *

- What is M2?

"M2 is an item in CK."

- Why does it have value?

"Because people choose to believe stupid things when they could just go home."

Voice smiles.

And the phone rings.

[rpietila]

Taika still cannot sleep. "Twin flames are opposite, complementary, and same. At the same time. We decide which one to apply."

"OK you afraid that I spilled the beans and made it public. 100 million to the one who posts here and knows anything about you. If anybody does, that means I have spread our love to whom it does not belong. Come on, universe. Shoot!"

"In reality, we just have an overactive imagination, shared between us, but nobody else knows a thing! They are too busy to care about their life."

[rpietila]

About HM? All I know is this guy need to sort out his life.

In fact I mean - we are afraid that we have spoiled the relationship before it even starts, by disclosing inappropriate details to the others. Is this in fact true? How can it be if you know nothing at all whatsoever? Or is the whole universe siding with me on this? Refusing 100 mil? Or suddenly enlightened that money is not needed, if we have bliss?

What remaining issues do we have? I refuse to discuss the M-word in public, it is up to us and nobody else what we do or not do.

If nobody is seeing what you are seeing, does it not mean 2 things:
1) We have a common mind.
2) It belongs just to you and me, not to the others.

If I am an AM, you also are. Everything is perfect.

In reality: we are perfect for each other. But also polarised. What does it mean:

We possess the balance of emotions, etc, shared between us.

I am polarised towards seeking perfection.

So I am interested in her as she is perfect.

As much as I seek perfection, she scoffs at it.

Because the totality must be balanced.

So Houston we have a paradox? The more I want her, the less she finds the idea appealing BY DEFINITION.


OK to find out who has the keys: I have tried to unlove her. See how well it worked?

Kipra explained it nicely. I am not going to try to draw the 2x2 window here as it is difficult by text. I have it at home, I can show you. Or ask her, or go to sleep to allow me to..

[rpietila]

Our heads hurt.

[rpietila]

Dude, I mean, my love: You create my reality and I do yours. And this holds true irregardless if you love me or not.

I would rather love the one who creates my reality than have the rollercoaster. For obvious reasons.



Wisdom is to change what can be changed, ignore what cannot be changed, and know the difference.

Not loving, it does not work. Think about it. There are situations when both have the key, but in this one, well ...

[rpietila]

Like I said yesterday, I can deny any truth. No issue there.

In fact an actionable definition for "truth" is that it gives zero fucks whether you deny it or not.

[rpietila]

I am in Tallinn in a fucking cheap EUR 22 per room hostel in case you did not already know. Sorry for overusage of "fuck" but I picked it from you.

The thread has been viewed 508 times in the last 4:44 hours, so we are almost talking to ourselves here.

I would like the twin flame article for my own edification. Had it saved to read later and then it vanished.

I'll post it privately then (when I get some rest first )

[rpietila]

Zechariah whistles on the way to the breakfast, stopping only to think of B. "That woman is in a serious mindfuck condition. I offered her a million euros, which she was too frozen to even accept. Now she's employing 27 lawyers to audit our businesses to find out whether I even have a million there. Surprise surprise, I don't! So she cannot extract the money without contacting Z, and Z is unwilling to be contacted by crazy women. So the standout continues until B, her parents, friends, Church, cat and whatelse, unconditionally accept that they have been on the wrong now, and have been all these years. Man it hurts..." Zechariah stops for a moment to dream about a Gin&Tonic. "Jesus what drunk you are to dream of such at 7:44am! Spending some time with young and beautiful women would do you good..."  

[rpietila]

After massage, Zechariah finds himself in a difficult position when the sauna he had always dreamed of, was denied to him due to his unwillingness to "be registered" to the "system". He tries 50 instead. Rejected. He feels pressure and types the URL of a spiritual porn site, containing mostly text about holding hands and line drawings about the said happening. It loads, but only says "no." in a pink background.

He checks the time, or ... tries to check it, finding his gold Omega watch fused with his jacket. Disconcerted about the unresponsiveness of the matrix, Zechariah goes to his carriage, only to see it immaterialised. "Fuck it. I should take a conference call now. The shit is getting real."

[rpietila]

He calls GM and a voice answers him.

"GM, do you think this is too much? To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler for a Mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to activate Advanced Trolling Mode(ATM(TM)) - -"

The question hangs in the air as the fragrance of COH is evident from the colors of the wind.

Have you considered using ARDOR platform for your asset? It is coming from NXT ecosystem. My understanding is there will be a main Ardor chain with assets and MS currencies as currently with NXT, but also addition of custom child chains with a native child chain token and child chain assets and MS currencies.

"Bullshit still reigns supreme in the thread and I cannot even have a sauna during business hours, also they did not serve alcohol before 10 a.m. and I was disappointed that the carriage rematerialised so soon, and did not even have a parking ticket. Further, my watch is still fused in my jacket."

The GM intently seems to uncare.

- Do as you wish, you have to learn responsibility of your actions. Just be careful when altering the past, it causes ripple effects to the people who should understand.

"OK."

PJ should get his shit together now as he is a Duke and has unlimited money like the others in that level." (In case anyone wondered what the difference between a Prince and a Duke is, it is that of power more than of wealth.)

A note about SHIELD. It is unlikely that while shield is activated, the following will happen: anybody can harm Zechariah. Anybody can "physically" access the space/time coordinates of the Royal Palace of Malla in any plane unless with permission and may incur self-harm if attempting. While Encounters may be requested during Advanced Trolling, it is unlikely the GM cares to resolve them any more than s/he cares about Zechariah's advanced trolling.

* *

Zechariah checks "money" and finds exactly 200 in banknotes from his wallet. To weigh down on him, none of his companies practically owns squat, while his own, family's, and companies' personal, mutual and corporate liabilities include a million euros promised to an undisclosed entity known as either A, B, C, or D; about 600 assessed tax, a million debt from Palace of Malla (1-C-K), unimportant other debts ranging in 6-7 figures per balance, potential liability from the hack of 700,000, amounting to maximum 50% of the past, current, or future value of the amount stolen, according to the decision of entities styled as "Court of Law", "Judge, etc(x2)", per each country, court, and judge involved, assessed in any currency that they see fit, and the 50k that an undisclosed entity known as either A, B, C, or D, pocketed from the mutual account even though it was intended for paying value added tax of a certain company for December, which now is delinquent.

"Oh. With shields, at least I have a home disabled from confiscation."

[rpietila]

"It is no good to be poor. But even worse it is to be indebted to your balls. I gotta do something smart, real fast. Only 28% battery remaining."

It is 11:42 am local time and Zechariah is enjoying berry smoothies for breakfast, while tracking remains disabled.

MINDFUCK 1

TAXMAN 36 xxx [char_id censored for privacy]

Taxman changed to demand all liabilities of "36" from "xxx".

[rpietila]

"Huh. That should give a few months extra." Sorry about her but there is some karma to be resolved, and Zechariah's strong polarisation to STO does not help in this matter, exacerbating the situation rather. He has been flirting with the idea to be more inclined towards STS but there is one matter to be resolved first.

Zechariah learns balance, so instead of wishing his 50,000,000,000 M to be reinstituted, which might reasonably be thought as "fair", he enables 'balanced free money' by enacting with GM permission:

Anyone can give M to and take M from account #36, as long as the balance stays between 29,000,000,000 and 31,000,000,000.

By giving M to the said account, the universe will reply with increased distortion towards abundance for the giver.
By taking M from the account, the taker receives more M, which, duh, is money.

Admins may ask for compensation for their actions.

Saddam is requested to post and explain whether withdrawals are enabled during Advanced Trolling.

If Church wants to comply, they can post to the thread and Bless item M (change item attribute Blessed to 1, 2, 3 - note "1" usually does the trick let's not go Most Advanced here).

[rpietila]

Zechariah feels sharply in pain after the smoothies. With 19% battery only he gotta be smart. Some power needs to be manifested to increase submission. Some selfish acts are needed to balance from excess STO. "I am no Jesus who kills himself for love..." Zechariah thinks. "Perhaps breaking my promise would help. Some... cigars, some hookers?" Shit I am such a pussy in the STS distortion I am willing to burn my castle untold times for someone to love me, yet I cannot even make me grab the stunningly beautiful waitress from her perky naturals, let alone ask, cheat, bribe, or force her to suck my dick.

[rpietila]

"Please Everyone - we need more players! Post to the thread what you wish to happen! Then make it happen. Ask the admins if you have to. You can buy any item that is for sale, with money you can just grab from #36 (according to the bounds outlined). Or if you feel like giving instead, give M, items, whatever. Or just post. Show some love. Or hate. I don't mind. I know what I mind and am meditating in a reasonable agitation [trolling is somewhat high-energetic work] about how to get it."

If you want to help with the Connection, how about consume some stuff for TotW [CONSUME item_id amount].

If you want to polarise towards STO, give anything to anyone [GIVE item_id amount recipient].
If you want to polarise towards STS, do something stupid, selfish, lame, evil, you get it.

To submit to me, use [SUBMIT level_of_submission] <--threadpost, details welcome

This is trolling. Yes you have not seen it before, but don't worry. The matrix remains mostly operational and GM decides the state of the world as usual. I am appalled about the lack of interest towards free money. Are we all in the process of ascension already then???

"If so, why don't they come home..."

[rpietila]

If any earlier period of Advanced Trolling interests you, here you go.

"To save battery, I will now need to think first, act second. Perhaps the ordeal is to give me more Wisdom and Understanding as well."

Zechariah retires to the cigar shop, the usual one. Probably to break his implied promise about not smoking inside. "To conserve energies, I am not going to kiss anyone anyway, and my dick does not smell bad."

[rpietila]

"If only I had someone who understands me, by my side, to show me some serious STS polarisation.... Anyone who not only say, but absolutely and unconditionally gives ZERO fucks about me. So that we could balance each other out. Or something. You know, the Law of Growth kinda almost requires that to happen eventually, so why not now?"

He closes eyes to seal the image of the waitress when he suddenly is served Beef tartar with white bread, lukewarm Chianti and a Caffe Latte.

"Fuck everybody who comes to fuck with my fucking wishes! Suck my motherfucking dick!!!"

[rpietila]

Zechariah gains back his power and remembers the experiences in the trollMode:

"Wow that was a helluva ride. First I again felt like dying, just like the previous day. But the previous day it was because of bearing the sins of the world, and the result was a spiritual martyrdom, Jesus type." Of course Zechariah cannot die (nor pay taxes), so he felt good afterwards. Today's experience was a more interesting one. After boozing in the cigar shop with girls, he almost empowered himself to hit the hookers. "If she does not come by 6 pm, I'll fuck other girls." Considering whether the experience would feel good, was taxing to the energies though, and by 6 pm, Zechariah was again about to die, this time to gain the realisation that nobody really cares about him. Zechariah had helped Eili to gain happiness, but she tried to drive him away regardless by the shop's closing time (with shield on, this did not happen though). He only had strings given by the masseuse earlier as he does not use underwear, which backfired on the sauna.

[rpietila]

MINDFUCK needed to be reinstituted when Zechariah was already in Aaspere, and ambushed by the local carabinieri. His carriage was dangerous, he did not have matrix authority to drive it, was speeding 82kph in Aaspere aint' no fucking town but the carabinieri may say whatever they like..  and of course was drunk like the skunk he was on his way back home from the cigar shop.

- Kas sa tead, sa lihtsalt sõitis 82 km tunnis, kui piirang on 50... ?

Also let's keep FREEMONEY on for now.

Zechariah buys a new e-cigar (this time, red, since they tend to immaterialise). Both the car and watch came back later and the average speed on the final streak was 150%.

The energy has reached a new maximum so I'd say if C feels better with me who at least know something about what is going on, please just come and leave A there for now. I recharged communication equipment yet would prefer not to drive now. Take a cab instead. All is ready and the relationship drama may be postponed. We have a mission.

It's just the shared emotion that is playing tricks on us. I respect you, after all just realised you are the ultimate selfish entity who probably first time considered to have a feeling for me the same time I felt nobody in the universe cares about me.

ATTN GM:

Some military and political events may soon take place. And since they will likely involve characters controlled by the GM, we seek another admin to act as GM in these events. Preferably Syksy--as we both can rightly assume he is fair and just in all matters. Also, Mooo's advent of the provably fair D20 should be incorporated into all rolls as this puts a public face to events and also confirms fairness.

If it's only about trivial matters such as burning buildings, killing nobles and stealing their stuff, ask some other-self to do the admining. AFAIK, there needs to be an Insubordination for anyone to rebel against you, and people have been Subordinate as long as you have been Righteous (if ever). Appeal to GM not only costs 10 mil but also requires that sb thinks the encounter was solved unreasonably.

Merely that we have free money, does not mean that it is easier and/or more difficult to conduct 3d stuff.

Note that Senate may and in fact should, nominate Judges so that they can whine about King's injustice. The Senate may not have an army, that's up to the individual Peers. (As if I could/would do anything if Senate raised an army...)

I did not start an effort to reverse-engineer information not because I'd be lazy, but because you said that if somebody would claim the prize, it would only indicate that you'd given out too much information to people not deserving of it.

In my honest and unadulterated opinion, I cannot/should not be able to be contacted in secrecy, for I AM Light. Considering the rather intensive contact with the entity in question, I feel people should be able to find it. I found another-self's twin flame accidentally by looking at a thumbnail FB pic, that's bordering clairvoyance

One of your imaginary friends or archangel of Malla's angels

The only incarnate entity that I have a hard time classifying as self or other-self. Usually the distinction is easy to make  

[rpietila]

HRH Prince Royal Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, CEO of NewCorp, OD-GM, RT-K, AOD-Gen, etc, incumbent Head of the House of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, which, to recoup, approximately means:
Head of the House of Tavastia,
Head of the House of rpietila,
Head of the House of CK.

, wakes up Head still exploding from the sudden realisations. No matter how much he likes to ignore the alphabet soup, it does not happen. Suddenly he understands that he cannot escape responsibility:

"If you must make others feel inconvenient for their own good, this can be classified as tough love and what not. If you need to make them feel inconvenient for your own feeling good, that is righteousness. Y'know, both are needed. Wisdom knows when to apply each motive for the request, and it is questionable the motive even matters when the request is the same nevertheless."

Respect authority. Die. Pay taxes.

I AM the authority, says the GM. Well, he is, and you can do nothing about it. Authorities do none of the above, they make others to do it, because that is their job. Even the King seems to have accepted that so why not the Queen?

* * *

He takes a deep sip of lukewarm water mixed with freshly-pressed lemon juice that he bought from a market in Kunda on his way back from Aaspere. The voices C is playing in his head made him meditate upon the matter of Marriage (what else is new...)

"YHWH said that rape is marriage, but to be honest, I don't agree. That is just gross.

Elohim and Jesus agree with me in that marriage consists of 5 things, so let us summarise them:

1) Wife leaves her father and mother.

2) Wife joins Husband (accepts Husband as authority).

3) Husband leaves his father and mother.

4) Husband joins Wife.

5) Husband and Wife become one flesh.


Well, things are not on/off. You can be more or less attached to the parents even if you initially left them. The 'accepting Husband as authority' part may be distorted by your erroneous concept, and the Husband may play along in order to not rock the boat.

As for becoming one flesh, what matters even to the people in lower planes, is that they usually seek to actively practice it with one at a time. But there is also a cosmic and beautiful importance in the union:

Sucking dick is not marriage. It is somewhat of a perversion really, but it feels good. Using condom (etc.) is also a sign that you should not really be doing what you are doing. So to not take it too private in public, let the ones involved, read and understand."

Zechariah feels spiritually virgin.

Zechariah begs everyone to understand that Zechariah needs to discuss every material advance in relation to one of the entities known as A, B, C, or D, with others. Hence, to make any advance whatsoever in the matter, everyone just needs to comply to his reasonable requests, for the reason that nothing else is possible.

In this light, hopefully, it becomes more clear why Zechariah kindly asks everyone to cease the escalation of the situation to parties that are unconnected to the matter, for their involvement makes it needlessly complicated.

Zechariah feels sad that no matter how many posts he writes here or anywhere, and tries to explain, some do not seem to realise that Z's role in the large scheme of things (which Zechariah has written about since about 2006 publicly) is important, and her role cannot any more be changed, as Zechariah spent approximately 10 years trying to get her along, which never happened, and is uninclined to spend the next 10 years discussing the matter publicly, preferring to do it as quickly and painlessly as possible.

[rpietila]

Zechariah feels Kipra's call to take action. Being not in a position to make drastic changes to his life at the moment, he proceeds to a certain restaurant in the Stonehaven prep site, waiting that perhaps he could find a way to polarise himself more towards STS. On the way he succumbs to the temptation to lower energies with Kebab, unwilling to booze around with carriage any more.

He meditates the recent experiences with trolling and encounters. He finds that actively trying to make others feel bad, is very taxing to his energies and also does not make him feel good (obviously it does not, but Zechariah needed to try regardless and reading back, it was some quality trolling nevertheless), so it cannot effectively be used to further STS, after all STS does not mean being evil to others, just putting yourself first.

Genuinely feeling good alone, he has tried several times in the past, and the period of good feelings has shortened all the time. So the only thing that makes him feel good is for certain people to wise up. He promises to not give a shit about their feelings, just concentrate on his own welfare if ever they decide to contact him again.

Meeting people does not work since he does not want to spill private matters out in public any more than needed, and also the random outsiders try to be helpful with action requests, not understanding how clearly the ball is nowhere near him at the moment.

Talking about mindfuck does not constitute invoking it, but as a curious detail, even the lawyer was unwilling to talk to him, despite the fact that B had only a minute before instructed Z to call the lawyer before instituting a total blockage. Relieved that he does not need to even think about being able to do anything, he enjoys his life rather.

Meanwhile, the absurdity of the situation has made the thread the object of interest even for outsiders - daily readership has surged from the earlier 700 to about 1600 pageviews. Zechariah feels good in himself that his business is booming. Call it a day.

Oh well, not yet: The earlier gifting spree has not even made Zechariah any poorer as a result, because the price of his stake in item:CK and other assets has soared more than 50% in a week, proving that giving indeed rewards you as well as everybody else.

This also made Zechariah feel good in himself. He carefully disregards any possible gain in the welfare of others.

[rpietila]

Zechariah again had the foreknowledge that the realness of shit is increasing rapidly. The keys to his carriage were dematerialised. "The Infinite Creator seems willing to let Himself to be known deeper" thinks Zechariah while whistling to himself with his new friends. The carriage remained materialised for now, in case anyone cared. He could not.

TRACKING 0

Zechariah cannot be found. He can find people.

"If anyone has invoked MINDFUCK, let it be known that I cannot give a loving-act whether it is true or not. I only care about myself now."

[rpietila]

"NO NEED TO BE SORRY, JUST DO WHAT I SAY, SINCE THAT IS THE WAY OUT"


Zechariah wakes up in the middle of the night, dreaming about strange things such as epic battles. "Ah, my imagination is again playing tricks on me."

He does not like to fight, as evidenced by the fact that he has spent exactly $0 (or the equivalent in any currency) in lawyers during the last 12 calendar-months. Ask them if you don't believe. There are many lawyers involved, it is just not Wisdom to pay them, since that makes them feel selfish and prone to escalate things to get more money for them. Zechariah does not pay lawyers, which makes their help more likely to be useful for him. About this and many other advanced concepts, he already blogged eons ago related to a pre-previous Era.

"To be honest, acutely I would just need a hug. Preferably from A, B, C, or D. It just does not feel the same with random people."

He proceeds to consider his longer-term wishes and the realism of achieving them. He puts his wishes in plain words:

1. Zechariah would enjoy that all the people involved would just stop meddling his/family affairs.

2. Zechariah would like to see his kids, again in a way that does not constitute meddling in his affairs.


Zechariah puts that into clear and concise writing, and sends it to everyone involved. "Done. I have been too good all this time, too naïve to believe anyone else could help in solving the issues at hand. Since that proved impossible beyond reasonable doubt over the course of an extended number of days, I just needed to call the end of negotiations. Sometimes you have to do it, and the rewards are now aligned with reasonable behavior. At last."

Rakas Astrid, jonka kanssa elin 14 vuotta,

(cc: JM Laine, joka meitä piinaat hänen ymmärtämättömyyttään hyväksikäyttäen)


1. Astrid, olen lähestynyt sinua sähköpostitse ja viestitse ja yrittänyt puhelinyhteyttä. Olen pyrkinyt taipumaan mahdollisuuksien mukaan oikkuihisi liittyen minua ja yhteisiä lapsiamme koskevissa asioissa vuosia kestäneen avioliittomme sekä noin 4 kuukautta kestäneen eroprosessin ajan.

2. Lasten oikeuksien polkeminen, asioiden venyttäminen, työajan tuhlaaminen ja taloudellisten vahinkojen aiheuttaminen ei ole enää mahdollista. Päästäksemme eteenpäin joudun ratkaisemaan välillämme olevat asiat sillä vallalla, joka minulle on annettu.

3. Menin kanssasi kristilliseen avioliittoon 21.6.2003. Tiedät mitä siihen kuuluu: Tärkeintä on, että puolisot luopuvat vanhemmistaan ja liittyvät toisiinsa ja tulevat yhdeksi lihaksi. Ja että mies rakastaa vaimoaan ja vaimo kunnioittaa miestänsä. Näin lupasimme toimia seurakunnan läsnäollessa. Minä olen kaikki nämä tehnyt, sinä et. Tiedämme yksityiskohdat, joita ei ole tarpeen toistella.

4. Syntejäsi peitelläksesi olet käyttäytynyt yhä kurittomammin kun vuodet ovat kuluneet, etkä lopulta ole voinut edes asua miehesi kanssa perheen yhteisessä kodissa Mallan kartanossa Virossa. Tämäkään kunnioituksen puute ei saanut minua lakkaamaan rakastamasta sinua.

5. Vasta kun yritit saada minua pakkohoitoon 5.11.2016, tajusin että kanssasi ei ole mahdollista elää ellei sinua kurita tottelevaisuuteen. Olet sitä pyytänyt tekemään, mutta en ole voinut suostua koska sinä noudatat Suomen lakia, jossa mies ei saa kurittaa vaimoaan.

6. Olet hakenut avioeroa Helsingin käräjäoikeudelta 8.12.2016. Se ei kuitenkaan ole tuomiovaltainen asiassa, jossa minä olen osapuolena. Avioliitosta sovimme, että se jatkuu kuolemaan asti, eikä tässä lupauksessa ollut mainintaa Helsingin käräjäoikeuden tuomiovallasta. Lisäksi Helsingin käräjäoikeus on aiemmin tuominnut minut väärin pankki-nimen väärinkäytöstä, osoittaen että eivät edes osaa tai halua tuomita oikein. Nämä ovat riittävät syyt, että omatuntoni ei salli minun noudattaa Helsingin käräjäoikeuden päätöksiä siinäkään tapauksessa, että sinä tällaista toivoisit. Helsingin käräjäoikeus ei voi tehdä mitään hankkiakseen itselleen tuomiovallan, koska luottamuksen voi menettää vain kerran.

7. Raamatussa sanotaan, että jos mies hylkää vaimonsa, mies voi antaa hänelle erokirjan. Päätös hylätä sinut on kypsynyt vasta sinä aikana kun olet tehnyt selväksi, että et kuitenkaan aio koskaan asua luonani perheen yhteisessä kodissa, ja olet estänyt yhteisiä lapsiammekin tulemasta sinne. Voidakseni mahdollisesti myöhemmin mennä sellaiseen avioliittoon, jossa lupauksia noudatetaan, joudun hylkäämään sinut ja antamaan sinulle erokirjan.

8. Mies on perheen pää, mikä tarkoittaa, että vaimon ollessa kuriton, mies voi, ja hänen tulee, yksinään päättää perhettä koskevat asiat. Päätös on oikeudenmukainen ja perustuu tosiseikkoihin, ottaa kaikkien osapuolten toiveet huomioon ja on täytäntöönpanon kannalta realistinen.

9. Tärkeää on havaita, että sinun tai JM Laineen kautta lähetetyt ehdotukset eivät kertaakaan ole täyttäneet yhtäkään yllämainituista kriteereistä. Tämä on selvää sen valossa, että juristin oman edun intressi ei salli hänen pyrkivän muuhun kuin riidan pitkittämiseen. Tämän olen sinulle kertonut hyvissä ajoin, mutta et ole kuunnellut. Tosiseikat osoittavat että olen ollut oikeassa.

10. Lopeta heti kaikki toimenpiteet yhtiöiden toiminnan häiritsemiseksi ja irtisano juristit. (Suomessa on yksi juristi jolle uskaltaisin antaa hoitaakseni yhtään mitään, enkä siltikään anna, ja hän on kieltäytynyt sotkeutumasta tähän).

11. Anna lapset minun osoittamalleni henkilölle Helsingissä, ja heidän passinsa ja tarpeelliset tavaransa. Otan heidät luokseni samaksi aikaa kun sinä olet pitänyt heitä luonasi vastoin minun ja heidän tahtoaan. Tämän ajan loppupuolella sovimme jatkosta. Voin ottaa heidät itselleni kokonaan kunnes Jaakko pystyy elättämään itsensä ja Hilla menee naimisiin.

12. Mikäli mielenterveytesi sallii ja lapset itse haluavat, he voivat edellä mainitun ajan päätyttyä osan aikaa olla sinun luonasi. Minä huolehdin tällaisista tapaamisista aiheutuvista kohtuullisista kustannuksista niin kuin muistakin lasteni menoista, olenhan heidän isänsä, ja heillä on minun nimeni.

13. Minulla menee lasten saapumisesta arviolta 1-2 viikkoa, että saan laadittua sopimuskokonaisuuden. Tämä:
A. Siirtää osuutesi yhteisesti omistetuissa yhtiöissä minulle;
B. Velvoittaa minut maksamaan euromääräisen rahasuorituksen yhtiöiden kauppahintana ja/tai osituksena ja/tai tasinkona, sen mukaan kuin hyväksi katson, tarkemmin kohdassa (14.) mainituin tavoin;
C. Tosittaa, että sinulla ei ole minulta vaateita tai saatavia;
D. Vahvistaa, että kaikki mitä minä olen sinua loukannut, olen anteeksi pyytänyt ja saanut.

14. Euromääräisen rahasuorituksen perusosa on 1 000 000 (miljoona) euroa, jota modifioidaan seuraavasti:
A. Summa tarkistetaan sopimuskokonaisuuden allekirjoituspäivän mukaisella BTC/EUR kurssilla siten, että jos bitcoinin eurokurssi on alhaisempi kuin vertailuarvo 5.3.2017 = 1 184,41 EUR/BTC, summa on alhaisempi samassa suhteessa. Jos kurssi on korkeampi, erotuksesta hyväksiluetaan 75%.
B. Summasta vähennetään 50 000 EUR, jonka otit vastoin lupaani yhteiseltä tililtä. Se on tarkoitettu Melkisedek Oy:n alv:n maksuun. Jos vältyn maksamasta alv:tä, saat rahan myöhemmin takaisin.
C. Summasta vähennetään 20 000 EUR, paitsi jos tuot minulle ne kultakoruni joita en voinut ottaa lähtiessäni kun kassakaappi oli lukossa, sekä 10 kpl 1 unssin kultarahoja.
D. Summasta vähennetään sellaiset raha- ja omaisuuserät, jotka olet ottanut haltuusi yhtiöistä 2017 aikana vastoin lupaani ja siten, että tätä kirjoittaessa en ole ollut tietoinen niistä.
E. Summasta vähennetään kaikki asianajokulut kaksinkertaisena. Minulla on tätä kirjoitettaessa kuluja 0 euroa eli käytännössä sinun aiheuttamat kulut vähennetään. Tee ilmoitus kulujen suuruudesta. Huomaa että kulut vähennetään summasta, vaikka olisit jo maksanut ne kertaalleen. Kaksinkertainen vähennys osoittaa, että olisi kannattanut kuunnella minua, ja JM Laine maksaa sen myöhemmin sinulle takaisin.
F. Summasta vähennetään 10 000 EUR jokaiselta vuorokaudelta jonka sopimuksen allekirjoittaminen viivästyy, alkaen 5.3.2017, kuitenkin poislukien aika, jonka ensimmäinen päivä on se kun lapset on luovutettu nimeämälleni henkilölle Helsingissä, ja viimeinen päivä se, jolloin sopimus minun puolestani aikaisintaan on allekirjoitettavissa, nämä molemmat päivät sisältyvät poisluettuun aikaan.
G. Summaan lisätään 100 000 EUR jos pyydät eräitä nimettyjä pahoja tekojasi ja laiminlyöntejäsi julkisesti anteeksi tarkemmin määrittelemälläni tavalla. Korotuksen määrää voidaan korottaa jos osallistut aktiivisesti maineeni puhdistamiseen, kun olet sitä aktiivisesti liannutkin.
H. Voin korottaa summaa myös muista syistä.
I. Näin modifioidusta loppusummasta pidätän 32% veron maksuun. Maksan korkeintaan tämän summan osoittamallesi verottajalle viimeistään 31.12.2018, tai tämän jälkeen sinulle, mikäli laillisella verottajalla ei ole vaateita määräaikaan mennessä.
J. Kulujen osuutena (mm. vaihtopalkkiot) pidätän itselleni 2%.
K. Maksan summan ilmoittamallesi pankkitilille (numero on tiedossani) 50 000 EUR erissä, siten että ensimmäinen erä maksetaan sopimuksen allekirjoitustilaisuudessa ja seuraavat tästä viikon välein, niin kauan kunnes kaikki on suoritettu.

15. Sopimuksen allekirjoittamisen yhteydessä sinun pitää todistaa, että lasten huoltajuushakemus on vedetty pois Helsingin käräjäoikeudesta. Tämän jälkeen saat halutessasi nimeni avioeron voimaan saattamista koskevaan hakemukseen Helsingin käräjäoikeudessa. En luota heihin yhtään, mutta toivon että tässä he osaisivat tuomita oikein, kun kerran yksimielisesti sitä haemme.

16. Pyydätkö sinä syntejäsi anteeksi vai et, on sinun asiasi. Sinun kovamielisyytesi ei ole este erokirjan saamiselle. Harkitsen anteeksi antamista kun ensin kerrot, mistä olet pahoillasi. Toivon että nöyrtyisit katumukseen, etenkin sinun mutta myös itseni ja lastemme vuoksi. Minua hävettää edes tarjota 100 000 EUR katumusbonusta, mutta tarjoan kuitenkin, pienenä osoituksena siitä, kuinka mittaamattoman arvokas kotirauha ja hyvä maine on.

17. JM, muistutan että teimme sinunkaupat sen ainoan kerran kun puhuimme puhelimessa, muistaakseni 9.1.2017. Kerroin sinulle, että en ole kiinnostunut palveluksistasi. Koska olet rahanahne ja lisäksi paha, halusit niitä kuitenkin tarjota vaimoni kautta. Hänen ymmärtämättömyytensä on estänyt asian hoidon tähän asti. Sinua koskien päätän seuraavaa:

18. Lopetat välittömästi palveluksiesi tyrkyttämisen, ja sen sijaan sanot Astridille, että hänen tulee kuunnella miestään. Ethän sinäkään voisi elää kurittoman vaimon kanssa.

19. Oli hyvin pahasti tehty, että paisutit Helsingin käräjäoikeudelle lähetettyä lasten huoltajuusasiaa koskevaa kirjelmää epäolennaisuuksilla, niin kuin 9 sivun todistelulla minun mielenterveydessäni muka olevista ongelmista. Todisteluissa oli mm. keskustelufoorumeilta otettuja kirjoituksiani.

20. Olen ammatiltani trolli, eli kirjoitan mitä kulloinkin mieleen tulee, ja netti on työpaikkani. Ansaitsen julkisuudella rahaa. Ei muidenkaan näyttelijöiden, kirjailijoiden tms. mielenterveyttä voi kyseenalaistaa sillä, että he tekevät työnsä hyvin.

21. Netissä olevia juttuja voi sitä paitsi jälkeenpäin muokata, ei niitä voi käyttää todistelussa. Rehellisesti sanoen olen ajatellut, onko sinulla ja vaimollani pää sekaisin kun ette näytä ymmärtävän faktan ja fiktion eroa.

22. Oletan kuitenkin, että sinä ymmärrät sen (vaimostani en ole varma), ja oikeasti halusit vaan ansaita rahaa toisten kärsimyksestä. Olit vaatinut Helsingin käräjäoikeutta tuomitsemaan minut maksamaan paperisi laadinnasta aiheutuvat kulut, ts. minun pitäisi maksaa sinulle siitä, että kunnianloukkaat minua. Onpa miehellä otsaa. Tulkoon siis väärämielisyytesi oman pääsi päälle yhtä suurena, eli olet velvollinen korvaamaan kaksinkertaisena kaikki omat laskutuksesi vaimolleni ja lisäksi suorittamaan minulle 10 000 euroa siitä kivusta, jota minulle tuotti puhua kanssasi.

23. Muut väitteesi jätän huomiotta epäolennaisina enkä tutki niiden totuusarvoa.

24. Jos vielä sotkeennut asiaan hetkeäkään tämän päätöksen tiedoksisaannin jälkeen, tulen tuomitsemaan vahingoksesi todelliset kulut mukaan lukien hidastelusta ja lapsille aiheuttamastasi kärsimyksestä ilmoitukseni mukaan. Pyydän huomioimaan, että summa on suuri eikä sillä ole ylärajaa.

25. Kaikki minulle maksettavaksi tuomitsemani erät (eli 10 000 euroa, tai enemmän ellei järki jo ala juosta) maksa viipymättä Marco de Witin osoittamaan tarkoitukseen, jotta Suomi saisi itsenäisyytensä takaisin 100. vuosipäivään 6.12.2017 mennessä.

26. Kiellän sinua myymästä enää palveluksiasi kurittomille vaimoille (cease and desist) tai tulkoon siitä ansaitsemasi rangaistus.

27. Muihin asiaan sekaantuneiden juristien /vast. riittää maksaa takaisin kulunsa yksinkertaisena ja huomioida jatkossa paremmin, että mikä tahansa itsekkyys ja tihutyö ei enää käy. JM Laine joutuu hyvittämään tällöin rangaistuksen osuuden, koska hänen syystään asiaa on sotkettu. Jos vaimoni olisi kuunnellut minua, hänen kulunsa tähän päivään asti olisivat yhtä suuret kuin minunkin (0 euroa), lapsia ei olisi traumatisoitu, aikaa ei olisi hukattu, turhaa julkisuutta hankittu, omaisuutta tuhottu, vaimo saisi enemmän rahaa, jne. jne. Ehkä olisimme myös edelleen naimisissa mutta siihen nyt on liian myöhäistä vaikuttaa.

28. Minä tulkitsen päätöstä, annan siihen perusteluja, tarkennan tai kommentoin sitä.

29. Päätös on toimeenpanokelpoinen heti. Kuka ikinä tunnustaa että päätös on oikea, eikä auta sen toimeenpanossa vaikka voisi, kärsiköön itse sen mitä tahtoi toisen vahingoksi tehdä tai laiminlyödä. Kuka syyttää päätöstä väärämieliseksi, pysyköön kaukana minusta ja itsenäisestä Suomesta, niin kuin minäkin pysyn kaukana nykyisestä hallinnosta, jota kohta ei ole.

30. Päätöksestä ei voi valittaa.

31. Päätös on julkinen.

Tallinnassa 13.3.2017


Risto Pietilä

[rpietila]

- PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE LINKING ANYWHERE; THERE IS A REASON; THIS IS NOT REVENGE -

If you only read the above and wonder of a "sudden" outburst, please consider that the situation has escalated over years, with occasional, first annual, then monthly, then weekly and finally daily pleas by the husband, to let her understand the following key facts, which therefore have not been hidden from her at all:

1) We have 2 kids who are the dearest people to me left on Earth, who need to know I love them;

2) Not only marriage, but even divorce is impossible if she continues to involve random lawyers etc to make the property impossible to divide, since there are interrelations between the companies and both difficult assets and liabilities, with the total liquidation value (after the expected unrealised liabilities come due) being negative, hence husband wishes her to quit messing things up since this will lead to neither having anything at all, or deeply negative.

Yes, I also did not believe this to be possible. I mean even the list of my misery is long, but that she'd refuse to EITHER apologize OR let me see kids, at the cost of
- losing the large sum of cash offered from where nothing even exists (I'd need to borrow it)
- making all our companies and their liabilities fall on her to never let her out of the mess that she created, I suffered, but also offered to let her go clean as indicated above,

this made me try the last time with her. Now I just need to turn the attention to the troublemakers directly. Let everything they wished for my family, fall on their own head, for indeed I have the character-trait of waiting my victory until it is impossible to lose any more, that's what they teach in the Art of War, you know:

12. Therefore, in your deliberations, when seeking to determine the military conditions,
let them be made the basis of a comparison, in this wise:--

13. (1) Which of the two sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law?
(2) Which of the two generals has most ability?
(3) With whom lie the advantages derived from Heaven and Earth?
(4) On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced?
(5) Which army is stronger?
(6) On which side are officers and men more highly trained?
(7) In which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment?

14. By means of these seven considerations I can forecast victory or defeat.

And so can I.

[rpietila]

- But hey, isn't it too rough to ask for a public apology when all I ever did to destroy you in all the ways imaginable, was strictly and honestly intended to stay private forever, and by the way, I did not even understand you'd feel bad about it, you know - just PEACE and move on, ok?

Zechariah had already realised that the onus is on us, not on one or the other. He has overdone it towards being a saint as well, so both parties need to balance their behavior to feel good:

* The other-self needs to learn a little bit of the ways of Light, even if it hurts.
* Zechariah needs to learn a little bit of the ways of Darkness, even as it hurts (his head is exploding for the nth day in a row).

Zechariah is trying hard to be a dick now, up to the point of making himself uncontactable by any other means except Bitcointalk, email and Facebook, calmly accepting that the Court has reached the verdict, and it says it can not be appealed, so be it. He refuses to even tell what he is doing just now, or in whose bed he slept last night. "Goddamnit, it's hard to be in darkness when your profession is an internet troll - - I try my best to not tell what I ate for breakfast, so in return he makes restitution, even though the evils were intended private as evils usually are. Deal?"

For those who wanna know how long this madness has actively been going on, read the story from the start, maybe you learn something. It is not even a boring one, I am a good writer. Not that I did not try to make her understand ever since 2008ish, the process intensified about a month ago since I have had enough. Do not wish for another day of the madness to happen, help her instead. She probably does not have the key, someone who is not me took it away long ago. But as long as this is public, they are protected from physical danger the same way as I have been protected, and that is not little, for:

the time is just up you know, they told me, don't blame me just a messenger here...

[rpietila]

STATUS

"Trolling is off. Shield is on. Mindfuck is off. Clarity is on. Tracking is off."

Most relevant entities in all planes are becoming notified of the encounter. Currently threadviews is at 2,000/day, indicating a few hundred active visitors. We kindly ask you to not make this viral just today, but tomorrow will be a completely different story as it is likely it will go viral (1,000,000+/day in all platforms combined) as certain news outlets will be informed in due course. Nobody needs to do anything for that happening before further orders.

She actually does have until the appointed time to make up her mind, compose a threadpost exactly according to the orders, which reasonably cannot take more than 30-60 minutes even if she continues lying by just professing to submit which she has faithfully done until this day, with more proof available for presentation than anyone cares to read anyway as you should know by now with Clarity=1 if you read the relevant portion. After that she will get kind and necessary orders one at a time, giving her the opportunity to prove submission to Light, secure the money, free the kids, and so on.

Everybody is entitled to pray, speak, manifest, etc. I cannot personally describe how much I await the amicable resolution, and what a relief it will be to all the souls involved. I know how blessed it is to admit I have been wrong - I have been more wrong than most of the readers, you know, and that exactly is the reason I am not so wrong anymore.

[rpietila]

Zechariah tried to relax by taking a massage, eating in a cozy place, taking another massage, and finally found a 4-m room height penthouse suite with gold bathtub decorations - a rarity in the town of Stonehaven. When finally in a warm bath after several encounters with mandatory registration to the "system" which he not only hates but also likes to talk about more when a suitable time is found, he finds the relaxation and gets access to the Conference Room. The Voice and GM meditate in complete silence until Zechariah throws one of his memorable opening lines:

"You know, I never destroyed a person before."

Voice and GM seem to be content with the calm in the Prince's voice and the inevitability of the situation.

"Now I see it clearly. She gave me a blueprint about how to destroy a person. I was unhappy about being destroyed, it felt so bad. Only now I understand she showed me the way to get rid of some of the most sinister people around, the ones that just don't get it even if you tell them kindly. Even after a reminder. Being STO myself, I never understood what I thought was perversions, but now I am just clear that her control over me was in fact intended for my edification, to prepare me for some important work."

"The raping of house feels bad, so let's not talk about it, ok?

MV-lehti publishes one of its success pieces. Nobody who is hit by that e-magazine can ever get a job. They also tend to lose the current one pretty soon, and also incapacitate by mental grounds. So this roughly corresponds to the TV-documentary about me in 2011, which destroyed all my businesses.

His finances he is soundly destroying himself, no need to do anything about it. Unless he immediately drops all action against me and promptly pays the sums mentioned to Marco de Wit and my wife, he will be roasted. If he is a pedophile, he will be in prison. Probably - since by this time he is bordering insane - he will have to medicate himself also. Forced medication is only applied to outlaws like me, this one will comply, but the result is nevertheless the same: the destruction of his mental faculty, not that he had much of it remaining when he chose the wrong battle.

And then the kids will be free and my wife gains the time required for her to collect herself."

The Voice opens voice:

- Why did it take you so long to realise this?

"I always thought we at least partially lived in the same reality, that she would give a single fuck about me, be even a little curious about how I was so powerful, rich, loving, and laid-back. That she'd stalk what I wrote to the thread, all the 7,000 posts ever since, even if she was openly in rebellion, I thought she'd at least be smart enough to be up to the situation. All I ever wrote was for her, for her to understand. It only now came to me that she never took the opportunity to even read, much less understand. To be honest: it is difficult to know what I even should feel in this moment. At least I feel stupid of spending thousands of hours writing stuff to my loving companion, and she did never give a fuck. Not even one. But I am used to feeling stupid, that I will get over quickly.

... Wondering why she never told it in plain words ...

Would have saved ME the experiences I did not even much enjoy."

- Women...

GM and Voice smoke COH but Zechariah is unwilling to engage this time.

[rpietila]

Zechariah sells 50,000*CK, not because he distrusts in CK but because this enables more free money that is up for grabs. As you remember, anyone can just take money from #36 as long as the total is between 29,000,000,000 and 31,000,000,000.

He goes on to find something to eat and check if the reception managed to find the change for his 500 left there without receipt.

Update: the Kingdom feels blue, sympathising with Zechariah. 200,000,000 was immediately taken (instead of given, which would bring even greater blessing) by a Duke(!). "Dukes should know better.." thinks Zechariah while dressing up to his 2,000 suit after the bath, suddenly in a lower mood himself.

In a few short minutes, all of it was gone. The "loss" of 5,000 does not concern Zechariah, for it is more blessed to give than to receive. The 500,000 he gave/spent during approximately the last 8 days also does not matter. He only feels stupid that he resorted to playing games, driving away everyone. "Well, Universe, tell me what to do, I'll do it! I also don't like this!"

[rpietila]

can someone help me with 100.000.000

I think it is over. I need to take a few days of rest. It's been a tough time for us all. You can come to Malla to slave for €3.5 an hour, 18 hours per day like you did in 2014, that was fun at least. In a way.

[rpietila]

Zechariah has spent the change in town and comes back exhausted. "I'll check the email and soon clear my head by the means of a quick nap. I don't know why this heavy feeling - I am not even drunk."

[rpietila]

When Zechariah enters the conference room, the Voice and GM are already laughing uncontrollably, dropping ashes from their cigars to places not intended to be ashed. In Special Operations, only Generals may smoke inside, but the lacking number of smokers is made up by the correspondingly higher number of cigars smoked.

"What is so funny, guys?"

- Jesus, you have trolled so hard that everybody is just frozen. That redtext lash out was just crazy!

Zechariah has had enough hard time already, so now accepts that certain people choose to ignore the difference between fact and fiction, up to the point of sending random and/or cherrypicked thread posts to human courts in order to prove that a person who makes his living by trolling, is insane. By the same logic, every author of fiction would be insane, in the same way as every author of indisputable fact is already widely regarded as insane, merely because truth hurts.

- You know, advanced trolling does make people insane. Now it should be crystal clear to you why the Haikko personnel could not accept either your paying the 15,000 bill in any method or currency, nor the not paying of it. Or how the district court can fine you for calling something a bank, and present your denial as evidence. It is a fact that there just is no way to make them feel good, it is a catch-22. They are completely short-circuited, because their concept is that they have to be right. That they are not, it does not matter to them until at least one of them wises up. Until that, the only way out is to just drop everything and leave and hide before they get violent. This time you managed to do it. You are just mindfucking with people when you first tell them they will get nothing, and then you offer a million, and then you swear the only thing left is a million of debt.

"Well, considering that -1...+1 million are the approximate bounds for the settlement, what should I have done instead? Now I have tried to not offer anything, and then offered all the choices in succession, and he has accepted none of them, in order to hopefully extract both of us dry. Not only that, I have tried every possible emotion (happy, sad, fear, angry, longing, ironic ...) in connection with every offer, and this has lasted for years already."

- The problem is that you are a clown.

Zechariah lets that sink in. Of course he is, and that is because they pay for him to be. "I am just doing my job and the boss ridicules me for that, why do I even live??"

- You should tell them the truth.

"I always tell the truth, after all, that is the reason I am in trouble." [italics means that Zechariah merely thinks the matter, without voicing it, but the distinction is not too great anyway since everything that can be imagined, can not not exist, for the Universe is Mind.]

- "To be honest, you know" [GM paraphrases Zechariah [who paraphrases R.A.P. whom he wishes to see again]], this has gotten out of hand. We are laughing our asses off and cannot even concentrate on our work because of that. Meanwhile you have spilled the beans widely enough that everybody who should not understand, in fact already does, and the only one who should understand, still does not. And continues to destroy her own fortune, so someone has to pay for it. It just does not do to let anyone who has suffered you since early December at least, leave penniless. Double compensation is the way to do it.

Zechariah thinks that sounds rightful.

- We cannot use you any more in Finland, because you are too public to be a Secret Agent, and as a Special Agent, you cannot get anything done because people just fail when you open your mouth. And that is not good because there is work to be done there. Long story short, we sort of fire you (knowing that you are hopeless and cannot be fired really), that is: give you a paid leave, wishing that you would not actively seek assignments in a year at least. And give you the permission to write a short post what it is all about, just like you did 4 years ago when the shit last time became too advanced for practically anyone to handle. And just disappear for a while, pretty please..

Zechariah lets that sink in. Meanwhile, (at least) GM has a serious difficulty not to laugh at his own words. Zechariah, on the other hand, is happy that his situation is much better than last time he was ordered to shut down: the room height is the same, but he is not the least under duress, not afraid for his life, the food is better, and the shit is just getting interesting.

[rpietila]

Short-term update

It is inconceivable that I could ever feel angry feelings for long towards someone I have promised to love until death do us part. Any anger whatsoever is only intended to make the others' darkness/evilness come public to have the maximum learning effect for everybody involved, those around that dear tender soul whom I tried to make happy, and be happy myself.

None of you cares about her. I do. None of you gives her advice that would benefit her. I do. None of you loves her. I do.

The post is redacted to remove a portion that was true at the moment of writing, but turned out to be not true in light of the events followed.

[rpietila]

Zechariah tries hard to not feel lonely in this important moment of realisation, so orders a bottle of DOM with breakfast. "Goddamnit, I can only be contacted via email now, since it is patently obvious nobody would write to the thread even if offered a 1,000,000 for it, as we just saw Friday, and my phones departed me long ago, so that I could concentrate on the matters important to myself."



Zechariah realises an opportunity to make profit, and buys the cheapened CK so that his balance goes below 29,000,000,000, invoking:

FREEMONEY 0

Comand results:
Nobody has free money. Everyone must pay the amount ordered by Zechariah to escape the punishment.

[rpietila]

Suddenly HRH Prince Royal Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK feels a strong urge to spend an additional day in Stonehaven, unknowing why. Being rich (Zechariah is the richest, most loving, second most powerful, and in top-10 of wisdom character in the Kingdom), he chooses to indulge only in the best, to which he is accustomed to since he made big in the money game starting from the late 1400s.

He meditates most of the day upon his post history. "Jesus, I have a lot of wisdom there, but need to strive even more towards this direction. My love and power are approximately enough, or at least the issue if anything, is that I cannot use them effectively in lack of wisdom. In fact, everybody who reads my post history, should logically be able to quit doing stupid things and submit to me instead. While this is not yet accomplished, I can make myself wiser by reading my own, a few hours per day, to be able to make better decisions concerning those involved."

While meditating, he smokes 4*CIG in succession (with black tea). Feeling in need of some love, he pays a visit to a wise old Thai masseuse, who indeed tells him what the girl actually wants, including how long he will have to wait, all in due course. They start a business relationship. Feeling hungry, he eats. Feeling sleepy, he sleeps.

The tab is approximately:
215 alms
190 kobe beef plus wine incl tips
50 massage

not including room and board and tea and cigars and DOM and sundry.

"Goddamnit, I am spending like a drunken sailor here. With Freemoney now off, it is technically impossible to spend like this forever without additional income; good I still have almost 29,000,000,000 in my account and it is under the protection of GM and HH (The Duke) Saddam of Ramsey, the guys I can trust. And not under some sleazy self-serving entities that extract money for their "services" while all they are doing is to make your position worse."

[rpietila]

what is exactly this interim-GM proposition that I read from the backlog in IRC?

My capability to GM right now is quite limited; I'm working on a start-up as well as finishing my dissertation, so my CK-time has been quite limited, albeit I try to arrange time. However, I've noticed that my interquantile range of responding to IRC and/or Thread seems to extend often between 4h - 72h, which can be difficult/too slow if immediate gamemastering is required. I even couldn't find time to fill my comsumption quest time for almost a week and missed quite a bit of health and happiness

I've done temporary GM-work e.g. in roleplay and organizing competition events, so those I know how to do, but those were rather simply motivated to keep audience's interest in the game while waiting for Clans.


Kind regards,
HE Prince Syksy Syyskuu of Petrichor

Prince,

I am satisfied with your explanation. It is still under consideration by other-selves, what exactly will happen this week, but I am awaiting for amicable resolution. Regardless, I will need the week for some interesting activities for sure. I AM the GM but you will use your powers with my authority as well to enhance the playing experience, and as usual, this will be unpaid except if you bill the players themselves according to mutual understanding.

Besides, the use of "His Excellence" referring to oneself, fits in the Letterhead but after Valediction, I'd prefer omitting it.

Zechariah, on the other hand, concentrates on his cigars, tea, and meditation while also  reading an interesting article that he wishes he had known in 1998 when his parachute malfunctioned, the encounter he refers to that 'he almost was killed by Air'.

[rpietila]

Earl goin2mars has generously given an additional 600 SCI to the Diplomats. Hopefully they will return soon with favorable news.

Syksy might tell about what happens. NewLiberty has supposedly been playing ambassador games in Stockholm (ask him if this is true) for the last few decades, and we know nothing of anything. The encounter in the north of the river ended up in total loss of Tavastia, and likely that of North Face as well, the other counties unknown. Zechariah says they are controlled by Sweden now. Despite that we are still officially allied.

So the official reaction of the swedes can be anything, and it can also mean anything in practice. Nothing has happened before it has happened, Syksy go!

(Don't make too many scripted quests, we have plenty in the existing storylines now as I have not done my job for 6 months and people are just craving for the thing to go on.)

Zechariah suddenly feels the gravity of the situation. That, however, is no reason to not rest a little. Upon returning to CryptoTown, he consumes a moderate quantity of spirits and picks a suitable couch to have a nap.

[rpietila]

Zechariah wakes up from the nap and decides to bite the bullet. "If Boss says I need to drop my cover, then bye bye cover. And thank you for covering me all these years." Blue-text disclosure.

[rpietila]

Zechariah feels uneasy that the blocking continues. "Perhaps I have sinned, even though it does not feel like that, but you never know." He goes on to pay his bill and tips the waitresses. Then, taking his id with him, he proceeds to the find a policecarriage with a firm intention to drop the shield and turn himself in, if they have any reason to arrest him. Disgruntled (because his knee hurts), he walks around the Stonehaven preparation site for half an hour, unable to find any, even in the spot where he firmly believed he saw one just a while ago, which actually gave him the idea. "Even the police hides from me just when I have the need to be arrested for I don't know what..." he thinks. "Not that I had anything against the police in any country. They respect authority. Last time it was I who trespassed the rules but heaven forbid anything like that to happen again!"

"It seems that the onus is on someone, but this time it is not me. Someone will need to learn to respect authority, and I can wait, after all the 10,000 saved per day is real money and pays many special agents."

The strange thoughts give way to physical needs of hunger and thirst, as Zechariah walks on to find a tavern.

[rpietila]

Since Zechariah likes long breakfasts, he can as well fall again into meditation: "It is good that I inherited the oldest Manuscript in town from my father, and that it is such an important piece. It is telling that the one who controls the past, controls the future. And the one who controls the media, controls the mind. Of course, the book lacks a proper conclusion, but that is being written as we speak."

[rpietila]

Energy is crazy and everything is possible!! For example, getting cocktail Sex on the beach from Risto himself and 1 year of money without any condition!
Just as an expresion of my gratitude, I officially announcing that I wont ask for any salary from any employer of mine forever!!!

Thank you for this great adventure!!!

In a spirit of good emotions and great karma I am giving away 700mil of M to random character from CK! Enjoy this gift and live in happiness!

There are rumors in FB that ODH The Duke of Serbia is having a time of his life with his gf in Dubai atm.

Oh that is just what I would do if just received extraordinary amounts of money (don't even remember but I was 20,000,000,000 poorer after that one-night binge involving only 2 people). Or had a gf.

Since few even have realised that CK financial position has just solidified because the Wizarddeveloper is not anymore receiving any salary ever (putting our monthly burnrate exactly at $0), yet continues his work normally as soon as he is done with Dubai, I announce an extra dividend:

100 M/CK (totalling 1,049,626,300 equaling 19k of green money) for the year 1665. And please PJ when you have time, fix the game year without resetting the health challenge.

CK's P/B-ratio is nearing 4 so it's not a flash in the pan any more.

Since I now have time to make some practical things happen in the game, please the following: #7, #31, #88 contact me urgently, not asap (priority 2/6: Urgent; 3/6 is As Soon As Possible). ADD: Thank you, Sirs.

[rpietila]

To submit to me, use [SUBMIT submissive_char_id authority_char_id level_of_submission]

No wonder there is rebellion in the kingdom if in fact nobody has even submitted to me yet (despite the importance of that happening)!

To submit to me, make a threadpost containing the words SUBMIT your_char_id 36 x [where 'x' is the level of submission from 1=Submissive, 2=Most Submissive, 3=Very Submissive].

Only one post needed per BCT account. Until further announced, EVERY one who submits to me regardless of the level of character/s involved, gets the following:

1 mil (for being Submissive)
5 mil (for being Most Submissive)
10 mil (for being Very Submissive).

I will pay them myself.

Of course, being submissive requires you to do what I say and not dick around having your concepts when in fact it costs you zilch to just submit to my authority expressed in reasonable wishes.

Just in case someone is stupid, the command REBEL rebellious_char_id authority_char_id level_of_rebellion is available, although using it is about as reasonable as cursing yourself, or openly unbelieving the Constitution.

Changing the history is disabled from this line onwards until required submission is achieved.

Thanks. What do i do now?

Please just wait.

We did not have time to implement the SUBMIT/REBEL commands in the game engine yet, so the manual processing takes time and we do not have any paid admin resources to do it, so I am practically on my own here. And I need to eat, drink and sleep, and concentrate on my other duties as well.

Changelog is untamperable. Also this thread is now not instructed to be tampered until redtext says otherwise, in which case history may again be altered from that point onwards to gain on readability, at the slight loss of historical accuracy. This has been the case since the first week in Oct-2014 so nothing special here.

If anyone wants to help me by compiling a threadpost about the allegiances of the characters who already have submitted to another, please do it.

Please refrain from posting unnecessary content to the thread since it cannot be deleted as long as UNTAMPERABLE=1 in the thread.

If anyone is interested to know what Submission to me (#36) means, it does not mean anything except:

1. Listening to what I say, especially when I am talking to you;
2. If I ask anything that is reasonable, let's make a deal that you do it either
* out of love for me (just do it), or
* out of love for yourself (we can make a deal what I give you in return, for doing it);
3. If something is not reasonable, you just refuse to do it, no hard feelings, I'll ask someone else or do it myself;
4. If something just needs to be done, and you are the only one who has the key, just do it (, before I have to prod you).

Please allow up to 2 hours from your SUBMIT command, for me to pay the submission bonus, I have a lot of things going on, and need to be careful to be precise and keep calm since there is no time for mistakes as the history cannot be changed now.

GM and moderator will tell when anything changes.

phoenix has a sudden doubt about whether this goes *outside* of the game in Zechariah's mind, and withdraws the submition if it goes beyond the game in any way.

Crypto Kingdom Central Archive ("Rules")

Laws of the Universe ("Rules")

Yes it is important to know which rules to follow... as they are in force regardless whether you know them, or not, if you play the game in question. As for CK,

Crypto Kingdom Constitution

Introduction

The drafting of the new Constitution became necessary after the old rules became unenforceable in connection with the CKG/CON merger. The purpose of the Constitution is to lay down the minimum framework of governance only.

I The Game

The Game is a self-incorporated virtual world. All authority in the game belongs to its players and them only. Playing the game does not imply authority outside the game.

- -

It could not be more clear that the Game is a game, and people should feel less afraid that things in the game would imply authority outside of the game, for they DO NOT. Meditate rather about the outside world authority if you have a problem with it. I don't.

"Huh I better be quick to not break my self-imposed 2 hours to pay for the submission. In these missions, you stick to your promises as there are others involved who trust on you." thinks Zechariah, proceeding to do exactly what he decreed.

[rpietila]

361348   Give   M   15,000,000   Zechariah (36)   Phoenix (978)      15.03.17 (12:53)   submission=3; 3rd; 1.5x
361349   Give   M   15,000,000   Zechariah (36)   toady (1059)      15.03.17 (12:53)   submission=3; 4th; 1.5x
361350   Give   M   15,000,000   Zechariah (36)   Rostibarn (1032)      15.03.17 (12:54)   submission=3; 5th; 1.5x

Zechariah feels exceedingly relieved that he has managed to do every single thing he has promised to do, and in time. The next deadline for him is in about 1 hour, invoking [Submit 979 36 3   12:02:54   boomboom] to be processed.

Please continue the submissions, for you should know better that the deal does not become any better with the time passing. This is important kingdom-wide, and be notified that submitting to me is not the worst thing available. In fact, I am powerful, rich and loving, and care especially much of the people who publicly, in front of 100-200 witnesses (as there are active readers in the thread) promise to respect me.

It should not even be too hard. What I said about the meaning of submission (see above), I am submissive to everyone. It is common sense, good manners.

Don't freeze now. It is time to make some Light shine to the game, finally. The darkness, if any, will of course play their tricks, but their way of making you submit is taking money from you, instead of giving. Please.

[rpietila]

UNTAMPERABLE=0. From now on, post history may be compressed. Everybody is normally responsible for their actions of course. The reason for the special measure was to instill some respect towards the moderator, the GM, and Zechariah. They are all-loving, and only want to give money around to every player to feel good. But now the condition for free money (currently max 10,000,000 (about 175) per BCT account) is submission to the reasonable authority who only wants your best, unlike some of the "authorities" out there.

It is obvious that some people are scared here, not knowing what's up. You still have some time to submit with the original deal in force. Then it will be made worse. I am especially happy that the King is completely fine with his subjects submitting to me. Why don't all just submit to me so we can go on with this. Nobles, Peers, please. I am your father and husband and brother.

Start of thread from when the submission became rewardable.

My (real life) priorities stay the same, so yeah I don't think I am asking too much here, just for the people I love: that they drop the bad advice around them, can it be so difficult, please? I am paying you money, they don't. I think ditching one guy should reasonably make the whole situation good again, in the same way as his involvement has made it impossible to solve, and I am nowhere near the end of my resources, in fact only recently started paying anyone outside of my normal organisation to handle it, and these guys don't fool around disrespecting me. ADD: It is surprisingly hard to pay people salaries though since they tend to refuse.

[rpietila]

Zechariah comes back from a walk and realises that there are interesting developments in the Kingdom. "It's as if my reasonable wishes are finally being listened to(?!) I feel humbled (yes I know I should not be) for HH The Duke of North Face's sudden submission and restitution and apology. Better think carefully before replying anything. This may or may not be the beginning of a breakthrough..."

The time in CK is compressed from the so-called real time. The important correspondence is as follows:

1 week real == 1 year CK
1 day real == 1 month CK (so, 7 months in a year)
1 hour real == 1 day CK (so, 24 days in a month)
a day of CK is subdivided to hours, minutes and seconds linearly.

[The game-time is used here:] Zechariah feels that there is still a need for further respect of authority to be instilled in the Game, and while we are at it, why don't we try to further the process with some rewards for prompt action. It is 8 days since I offered a 1,000,000 for submission (and 5/10 mil for intense submission). We have at least 35 Peers who would benefit from the submission the most, not only as the immediate financial relief of 1,000,000 but also that it would make their game better in the future with less need to be a dick guarding his own possessions as if they were important when nobody has any lack anyway - it is just a game you know - and my post history shows I can give billions away and feel good about it, but a Duke cannot take a 200,000,000 (about 3,500) to serve his pocket, without soon feeling that he needs to correct his ways and give back double.

"This double I cannot keep, that is not rightful. I will meditate over a CIG what to do with it, perhaps there is someone in a need. Better not act in haste."

"As for the submission reward of 1,000,000, yes of course it is not big money or anything, but perhaps, just perhaps, it might become more interesting to join, if there was a time-based incentive to act fast, like -10,000 per day or so. Also I want to give myself ample time to process the bonuses, since I have other things to do, not just this game."
 

New rules for submission to HRH Prince Royal Zechariah, etcx3, incumbent Head of the House of Tavastia-rpietila-CK (char_id #36)


§1 Command to be used in its generic form is SUBMIT submissive_char_id authority_char_id level_of_submission (threadpost only, it's not implemented in Ultima/Clans engine just yet)

§2 Zechariah feels it is important that characters submit to him, so offers a 1,000,000 bonus for submitting to him (5 mil for Most submitting and 10 mil for Very submitting, as indicated by the level_of_submission parameter).

§3 Counting from the original call for submitting with a reward in place, the bonus is reduced by 1% (10,000 in the base case) for every passing day, calculated automatically and retroactively for the time already elapsed. (Sorry about that but I hinted it was coming, did I not?)

§4 Zechariah must pay the whole submission bonus in full, in one month since submission has been voiced. (He can easily do that.)

§5 Only Peers are eligible for the bonus from now on. (The poor - you know - they had their chance but they had to act fast. I will pay the submission bonuses to them and everybody, for the submissions prior to this post, when I have the time. Sorry for delay.)

§6 Submission may mean different things to different people, but submission to Zechariah is light, basically consisting of the things that Zechariah requires anyway from everybody that seeks to have any correspondence with him, so should be easy to achieve for any rational person:

1. Listening to what I say, especially when I am talking to you;
2. If I ask anything that is reasonable, let's make a deal that you do it either
* out of love for me (just do it), or
* out of love for yourself (we can make a deal what I give you in return, for doing it);
3. If something is not reasonable, you just refuse to do it, no hard feelings, I'll ask someone else or do it myself;
4. If something just needs to be done, and you are the only one who has the key, just do it (, before I have to prod you).

§7 If the person SUBMITting to Zechariah is at the same time REBELling against an entity Zechariah feels is doing good (all characters until otherwise announced), the situation needs to be checked.

§8 If the person SUBMITting to Zechariah is at the same time SUBMITting to an entity Zechariah feels is NOT doing good (no characters until otherwise announced), the situation needs to be checked.

§9 If Zechariah pays the bonus, he is clear. And if the character then submits and/or rebels to anyone, it is up to the character from that point onwards. Zechariah can only go so far to encourage submission with monetary rewards. Once the money leaves his pocket, it is gone. Until that, all bets are off.

§10 If anything of importance was not said clear enough, just ask. It's my money after all so obviously I make the rules here, and I am not a dickhead.

Zechariah feels good for making his terms complete, understandable and unchangeable, so proceeds to have a light dinner, wishing that the people who have the chance to get his money just by submitting to what is common sense, would take action, and do it sooner than later.

[rpietila]

SUBMIT 88 36 1

Zechariah comes back from dinner and feels that HE The Margrave's proposal is reasonable, and after all - the Margrave is in command of the police forces of Stonehaven (in addition to everything else there), so it is better to respect authority here for the common good as long as Zechariah wishes to stay in the area:

SUBMIT 36 88 1

The two then change subject and talk about other things. After all the recent SCI research and possible Sweden connection is on everyone's mind of late.

(HE The Prince) Syksy (of things etcx2) can take care of that.

[rpietila]

Sorry I will write briefly, as I am having migraine

MIGRAINE 0

Syksy wondered of submit 138 1 1, and found it strange no-one did this for in-game, but must have missed something essential in the mechanic.

Until Rebellion, all Peers are subject to the King by virtue of them being Peers and the King being the Fount of Honour.

[rpietila]

As per IRC discussions--the King sees no reason that this submission interferes with the Town's greater authority to sway HM's will on matters of state and freely give our submission in kind with those submissions granted us by law.

submit 130 36 2  

"Oh wow, it is not every day that HM The King submits to you..." Zechariah is sad that he does not have the time to take advantage of the advantageous opportunity to talk to people about the importance of submission, because his own organisation is now assembling in Stonehaven after the recent orders that gave them 48 days to quit fooling around in all the four corners of the Earth and come to receive some important instructions to - if possible - stop the Madness and such.

[rpietila]

Zechariah feels stupid (what else is new, really??) "Not only is she programming my reality by her thought, but also she is the most intent stalker - sorry: fan - I have ever had in my life; past and present but hopefully not future (the kids also need to be taken care of). This much is tolerable to be honest, the difficult part is that she is the most sovereign liar I have ever met by a great margin. I did not believe it when she said so, but it was said in order that I would know better that she is." When Zechariah ponders whether that changes anything in his feelings for her, if possible it makes him feel even deeper. "Goddamnit, I have never been beaten in a game. I enjoy to submit to the supreme intelligence, especially when it is presented in the most pleasurable package, in a well designed one."

[rpietila]

Whereas,

To submit to me, use [SUBMIT submissive_char_id authority_char_id level_of_submission]

No wonder there is rebellion in the kingdom if in fact nobody has even submitted to me yet (despite the importance of that happening)!

To submit to me, make a threadpost containing the words SUBMIT your_char_id 36 x [where 'x' is the level of submission from 1=Submissive, 2=Most Submissive, 3=Very Submissive].

Only one post needed per BCT account. Until further announced, EVERY one who submits to me regardless of the level of character/s involved, gets the following:

1 mil (for being Submissive)
5 mil (for being Most Submissive)
10 mil (for being Very Submissive).

I will pay them myself.

Whereas,

Zechariah comes back from a walk and realises that there are interesting developments in the Kingdom. "It's as if my reasonable wishes are finally being listened to(?!) I feel humbled (yes I know I should not be) for HH The Duke of North Face's sudden submission and restitution and apology. Better think carefully before replying anything. This may or may not be the beginning of a breakthrough..."

The time in CK is compressed from the so-called real time. The important correspondence is as follows:

1 week real == 1 year CK
1 day real == 1 month CK (so, 7 months in a year)
1 hour real == 1 day CK (so, 24 days in a month)
a day of CK is subdivided to hours, minutes and seconds linearly.

[The game-time is used here:] Zechariah feels that there is still a need for further respect of authority to be instilled in the Game, and while we are at it, why don't we try to further the process with some rewards for prompt action. It is 8 days since I offered a 1,000,000 for submission (and 5/10 mil for intense submission). We have at least 35 Peers who would benefit from the submission the most, not only as the immediate financial relief of 1,000,000 but also that it would make their game better in the future with less need to be a dick guarding his own possessions as if they were important when nobody has any lack anyway - it is just a game you know - and my post history shows I can give billions away and feel good about it, but a Duke cannot take a 200,000,000 (about 3,500) to serve his pocket, without soon feeling that he needs to correct his ways and give back double.

"This double I cannot keep, that is not rightful. I will meditate over a CIG what to do with it, perhaps there is someone in a need. Better not act in haste."

"As for the submission reward of 1,000,000, yes of course it is not big money or anything, but perhaps, just perhaps, it might become more interesting to join, if there was a time-based incentive to act fast, like -10,000 per day or so. Also I want to give myself ample time to process the bonuses, since I have other things to do, not just this game."
 

New rules for submission to HRH Prince Royal Zechariah, etcx3, incumbent Head of the House of Tavastia-rpietila-CK (char_id #36)


§1 Command to be used in its generic form is SUBMIT submissive_char_id authority_char_id level_of_submission (threadpost only, it's not implemented in Ultima/Clans engine just yet)

§2 Zechariah feels it is important that characters submit to him, so offers a 1,000,000 bonus for submitting to him (5 mil for Most submitting and 10 mil for Very submitting, as indicated by the level_of_submission parameter).

§3 Counting from the original call for submitting with a reward in place, the bonus is reduced by 1% (10,000 in the base case) for every passing day, calculated automatically and retroactively for the time already elapsed. (Sorry about that but I hinted it was coming, did I not?)

§4 Zechariah must pay the whole submission bonus in full, in one month since submission has been voiced. (He can easily do that.)

§5 Only Peers are eligible for the bonus from now on. (The poor - you know - they had their chance but they had to act fast. I will pay the submission bonuses to them and everybody, for the submissions prior to this post, when I have the time. Sorry for delay.)

§6 Submission may mean different things to different people, but submission to Zechariah is light, basically consisting of the things that Zechariah requires anyway from everybody that seeks to have any correspondence with him, so should be easy to achieve for any rational person:

1. Listening to what I say, especially when I am talking to you;
2. If I ask anything that is reasonable, let's make a deal that you do it either
* out of love for me (just do it), or
* out of love for yourself (we can make a deal what I give you in return, for doing it);
3. If something is not reasonable, you just refuse to do it, no hard feelings, I'll ask someone else or do it myself;
4. If something just needs to be done, and you are the only one who has the key, just do it (, before I have to prod you).

§7 If the person SUBMITting to Zechariah is at the same time REBELling against an entity Zechariah feels is doing good (all characters until otherwise announced), the situation needs to be checked.

§8 If the person SUBMITting to Zechariah is at the same time SUBMITting to an entity Zechariah feels is NOT doing good (no characters until otherwise announced), the situation needs to be checked.

§9 If Zechariah pays the bonus, he is clear. And if the character then submits and/or rebels to anyone, it is up to the character from that point onwards. Zechariah can only go so far to encourage submission with monetary rewards. Once the money leaves his pocket, it is gone. Until that, all bets are off.

§10 If anything of importance was not said clear enough, just ask. It's my money after all so obviously I make the rules here, and I am not a dickhead.

Zechariah feels good for making his terms complete, understandable and unchangeable, so proceeds to have a light dinner, wishing that the people who have the chance to get his money just by submitting to what is common sense, would take action, and do it sooner than later.

So, therefore:

Every submission up to this post has been paid according to the terms.

114,150,000 (~2,600) spent on submission bonuses total so far.

Seal,

Tavastia-rpietila-CK

He never before realised the point of Misery, but CAN helped him. Going to see it the first time now, awaiting for massive realisations.

"As if I managed to even find a way to watch a movie without her", Zechariah thinks after many a futile attempt. (Zechariah does not have a credit card.) "Now I need to think carefully... the lawyer is fullblocked and losing 10k per day elapsed. She is waiting for me to make up my mind if what happened was 'too much'. Hey, there is no 'too much' in my life, in craziness they are the same. I am still on the opinion that it's about time to quit playing this game, if you can possibly surprise once more, do it please. Otherwise how about coming home. We've got a revolution to do, together."

The massive realisations are ongoing. Telepathy will be sufficient to reach the intended audience. "Although I feel stupid for being so slow, at least it afforded her the opportunity to learn to care about me, and not only about herself.

It only recently came to mind that Zechariah had his first psycho-fan already in 1999 when he was in the Army. That story will not appear here. "There needs to be incentives, otherwise she may not come... " For the sake of disclosure, Zechariah could not manage to get laid in Stonehaven, which inability to find a willing-to-accept-cash service provider was frightening. Also the relationship with the masseuse was strictly business. in Thai massage places, the lady massages your balls but the dick is covered with a cloth. It is of course fully erect, but no happy ending was provided. "In addition, I know Tuukka much better and your cover is now blown as well as mine did a week ago." What lucky day it was to realise that she was 'just' a queen liar. "Now I know better."

And, besides: fixing that is so easy as we know, you always get bad conscience when lying. And I detect it. After 2 weeks of practice, both learn to speak equal truth.

[rpietila]

Hi all, as I promised, I will now take a leave and concentrate on my real life. This week was supposed to be "off" but ok it's good to get this realisation Saturday rather than Sunday.

The last happening before my eagerly-awaited holiday is to announce the following:

item:wisdomness for CAN (currently: 1) has been underrated badly. After 9 hours from this post, CAN will have a new wisdom rating after a non-provably fair d6 roll [1...6]. ADD: Aaand "6" it is

[rpietila]

A large rehaul made in consumables. TotW special effects end by the end of this year.

From now on,

1. Consuming may or may not have ingame effect (until otherwise announced).
2. If you want your wishes to come true as regards (Health/Power/Money), (Happiness/Love/Relationships), and (Wisdom/Knowledge/Understanding) in the Universe, please walk the walk, and consume yourself first to the top ranks according to the seriousness of your wish, and then make the wish. It will be fulfilled by the Universe when the time is right.
3. Ensure that you have enough to eat in case a Siege or a similar calamity happens. Low level NPC require 200 units of food per year per NPC and a modest fare of MEAT and BEER. Higher level NPC need to be Happy and Wise as well. Neglecting your NPC from 1667 onwards may cause them to quit instantly without compensation to you. If the deficit is on Health, lower level NPC will quit first. If the deficit is on Happiness/Wisdom, higher level NPC will quit first. No further penalties (except losing NPC) apply for neglect of NPC. Remember to stock up for yourself as well.
4. item:culturedness is roughly 10x from the previous values, item:wisdomness is 3x.
5. Let the changes in the whole, in the individual items, and in the strategy, be made known to all the people via all the channels through the submissive people in the Kingdom.
6. BEER (systemic) production tax (going to the Game) from now on is 50 M/btl, new wine import tax 500 M/btl, spirits tax 5,000 M/btl. GM will administer new production if appropriate.

January 9th, 1666 (Public 11-1-1666).

Congratulations to players who made it to the Quartermillenial Great Council!
You can start using your new title immediately, and remember to also add it to your character on the character page.

Congratulations to the chosen ones. Please update your Title to indicate your new Level as well, since the post above reveals the fact that several Characters are ignorant of their recent Promotions and/or Decorations.

Zechariah walks around the castle and in King's Park with cold hands. "Goddamnit, why did I institute the indoor-smoking ban just yet when it's still hardly above zero?? Well, at least the workmen are obeying my orders as regards the ashtrays." Zechariah feels good that there is only 31 days left until the deadline for organising the Royal Palace of Malla for peaceful encounters, and himself all he needs to do is to write threadposts. "It was relaxing to have a week off. I am now much wiser and more polarised to STS, having completely ridden myself of stupid advice concerning how I should conduct my operations. If other-selves want to participate, there are plenty of roles possible. I continue to be laid-back and ready to accept new revelations, ready for everything, including that the submission bears fruit. It is possible since the Voice said 1666 will be a breakthrough, and even a dog submitted to me during my walk, obeying my reasonable wishes... that has never happened."

Whereas,

Until Rebellion, all Peers are subject to the King by virtue of them being Peers and the King being the Fount of Honour.

Whereas,

As per IRC discussions--the King sees no reason that this submission interferes with the Town's greater authority to sway HM's will on matters of state and freely give our submission in kind with those submissions granted us by law.

submit 130 36 2  

So, therefore:

There is an unbroken chain of submission to HRH Prince Royal Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, OD-GM, AOD-Gen, OF-7, etc., originating from all Peers via HM The King. Since all other Nobles are ennobled by the Peers, the submission applies to all minor nobles as well. In addition, some commoners have submitted, and none has rebelled.

~~~ Diplomacy in Sweden ~~~
A Crypto Kingdom minigame, A.D. 1666

- -

I'd appreciate any feedback, I hope to put this game to action asap. I will make a post of people's SCI consumptions so far once I get approval that above game is good enough.

Approval granted. And let it be remembered that last time Syksy had a minigame, the 600*MUM granted to the participants, are now valued at 53 mil midprice (1,300 green money). So both STO and STS may attend and serve whomever they prefer.

The agent "Neo" just got unlimited money initiation.

I'm extremely grateful towards His royal highness Zechariach for giving me this opportunity to prove myself in the way of light. I will not ask for any salary of my employee ever again, From any employer of mine forever. Ever

Accepted. "Neo" continues to work for me until otherwise announced. His Theatre of Operations is Finland/Estonia. Cost of Living & Expenses will be provided if 'need'.

[rpietila]

Design Issue that needs addressed:

- -

conflict of interest.

- -

You can kill them, you can murder me, but it just lends to the case that I'm right and the concerns need addressed all the more.

King,

Take it easy, please. I am not murdering anyone, actually you are the only one who has killed (Angus).

As for the conflict of interest - it is illusory, because your interest is in receiving, and mine is in giving.

[rpietila]

After the intensive initiation involving an eternal flame of banknotes, Zechariah rests in a jacuzzi (with bubbles off, naturally, he is not nouveau-riche despite what people think). Typing needs to be done with care. He hates bad planning, so carefully arranges the vital items to enable him to hide in the pool until the Cadet-Major has cleaned the mess elsewhere. Nothing short of an urgent need to dump can disturb his meditation now. "Goddamnit, some people think my life is misery, and it took me approx 10 years to realise they mean it. Since it is impossible for anything to not be true, I will assume it lasted for the 10 years. It may be hard to accept my neuroplasticity but after a few days of intense fooling-around, the resolve has only strengthened: That's the way it is."

Suddenly Zechariah remembers the 100,000 CKG he paid the King to redeem his Home when it had ended up in the wrong side of the gift when he gave the Crown Corp. to the new king. "Even that is 15,500 green money. I think Malla will not burn again, at least we will burn it no more."

And to my knowledge, nobody else knows the first one. The latter is public knowledge for lightworkers.

Slightly edited from the Game channel:


zechariah [12:32 AM]
I have had troubles always, since 2008 the minimum when they confiscated all my wealth. I am not trying to make excuses, only give info that I cannot always proceed in the direction you wish or as quickly as I myself would like.

Lucky me at least both PJ and Neo have unlimited money now.
^it means less need to take care of them.

crichton [12:34 AM]
my point is that handmade quests likely don't scale and the more players you gain, the less trust you can gain in an immediate time frame, therefore provably fair games cut costs in time and money and create trust in the system
Zechariah: just look at all the time you spend trying to convince us to trust you and multiply that 10-100X
you think you're tired now?

zechariah [12:37 AM]
I think right now everything goes as planned.
The important financial measuringstick is CK marketcap
And that has finally started to rise again

crichton [12:40 AM]
Well, I'm gonna use Mooo's fixes for my in game resolutions as I don't like spending game money on handmade quests and I hate waiting weeks for a simple event to unfold. Also, those solutions can be added when everyone figures out we need scalable solutions /rant

On a separate issue, is anyone aware that there is an incentive for building owners to attack other building owners? I feel that may be intentional, but am not sure.

zechariah [12:46 AM]
The less buildings standing, the higher payout per building. This will remain in Clans as well.
Actually broken windows are good for the economy. When buildings are destroyed, Game gets more money as taxes since people anyway rebuild them. Some of this money even boosts the buildings pools, creating a virtuous cycle.
I have to warn everyone that I just decided Malla has burned many enough times and I will punish anyone who tries to harm it.

crichton [12:50 AM]
so the increased pool payouts can be used to buy armies to destroy more buildings which give you more money to buy armies....
So did you just ask Evan what to do here? :innocent:

zechariah [12:51 AM]
yes and also CK goes up since Game gets so much money from NPC salaries

crichton [12:51 AM]
got it

zechariah [12:52 AM]
are you long Dash?

crichton [12:53 AM]
long PIVX--they only have 130 nodes of liquidity on their main exchange and they avoid instamine taint
a few shills is all that's missing and the nodes auto-incentivize that behavior

zechariah [12:57 AM]
3    Dash Dash    $688,235,146

crichton [12:59 AM]
problem is that masternodes are at a ridiculous price and those types of investors are rarely as dense as Ver when it comes to their investments--though I tend to overestimate people's capabilities for stupidity at times and 2008 happened :grimacing:

zechariah [1:00 AM]
nope, I mean CK is just undervalued. Instead of bashing dash, buy CK
CK is 1/400 the price of Dash, and I am smarter than Evan.

crichton [1:03 AM]
The provable fairness issue is a real thing, so until it's handled, I'm gonna mention it from time to time.
And also, I want to diversify at this point, ck gots all my XMR
Small time bankrolls are more stingy with their funds (by perceived or imaginary context is unimportant--as it is real to them), so any way to get ahead of them crying "Foul!" loud and clear across the interwebs, is probably in the best interest of the game's marketing. (edited)

zechariah [1:09 AM]
All I am saying is that buying CK now approximately equals buying BTC or XMR at the same marketcap.
For the interest of disclosure, I had the chance to participate in BTC <$2M, and did participate in XMR.

crichton [1:12 AM]
All I'm saying that when Zuckberg freaked out that FB's servers almost went down, it wasn't a paranoid delusion, it was an understanding of how fast information travels along social networks--my point is that you can't convince people to trust you as fast as the system can. (edited)
So build it that way, rather than say you don't need to because you are a great guy--most people aren't going to bother getting to know you[their loss -editor]

zechariah [1:14 AM]
I need some time because there is a lot of misinformation about me around, and that has been built over the years at a great cost.
I am just telling that it might not be the worst idea to procure 100,000*CK now, as they are more rare than either BTC or XMR and cost only 5,500 apiece

crichton [1:15 AM]
You should be focused on the game's reputation, not selling me on false information or how good a buy ck is.

zechariah [1:16 AM]
Please give me actionable suggestions on how to.
(while I continue to buy CK based on what I just said)

crichton [1:20 AM]
Make it provably fair like any dice site that people pump money into--create auto-functions that incorporate fairness at every level. It's not brain science. Just imagine you only have $20 to play a game--do you play the one that offers provably fair outcomes or the one that doesn't?

zechariah [1:23 AM]
Which modules require this feature?

crichton [1:27 AM]
That's easy. All of them. Though d-20 and the tech tree already have solutions on IRC.

zechariah [1:29 AM]
is SPOIL a priority?

luigi1111 [1:33 AM]
not a huge one IMO
but it "should" be provably fair, sure

crichton [1:34 AM]
Was before you burned all my DIS to the ground, but that's a distant memory. I would say you can just have lists of God events and let the d-20 sort it out publicly and make it like a market event that everyone must hedge against or prep for as best they can.
Why announce it when you can just have it land like a meteor on the gameplay?

zechariah [1:35 AM]
I value my time.

crichton [1:35 AM]
It will cut your time and can be built into the game
or would you rather have to deal with a 1000 customer complaints
people will bitch, dude
and you can't just put them on ignore or weed them out--nor should you want to as they are customers (edited)
Do you know why people were leery of playing quests with you?

zechariah [1:42 AM]
Why is nobody appreciating that I have given away $500k in the last 2 weeks inside a game whose marketcap is about the same... ?

crichton [1:43 AM]
Why do feel your giving that money entitles you to not address an issue that will likely determine the long term success of the game
The game's bigger than you, and we all want it to succeed and have invested time and money for that to happen

zechariah [1:45 AM]
If there is anything you can do, just do it.

crichton [1:45 AM]
Cool.

zechariah [1:48 AM]
I am buying CK as you can see...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=819073.msg17931430#msg17931430

I actually gave you a real-month..
and yes it's up from 4400 to some 5800
If you actually care about money, why not just speculate on CK

crichton [1:54 AM]
I'm an INTJ, so money is just a tool for me. What I value is that systems are built on principles that can scale and are antifragile in nature. If I see flaws, I point them out and hopefully offer fixes that are efficient in both time and costs.

zechariah [1:55 AM]
INTP here, so our only difference is that I grok unlimited money, you don't.

crichton [1:56 AM]
You can't buy your way out of bad design--see the 80s comedy classic The Money Pit

zechariah [1:57 AM]
When you are ready, you don't need to.

From this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=819073.msg18104762#msg18104762
it SHOULD be obvious that money is a joke

[rpietila]

SUBMIT 29 36 1

Also, TMA Prince of Rome, CEO of LuckyLionCorp, TRB, GJB, KFB, FBB, HBB, AOK-K, CBB, recognizes Zechariah's current IRL situation, and has decided to give back.

Code:

50000000 units of M given to Zechariah 36.

It is but a token amount compared to the gifts he has himself received, however not insignificant on its own.

Zechariah apologises for being so late to thank HE TMA Prince of Rome for the wonderful gift amounting to ~1,000 green money. In fact, he probably spent less during the last 24 hours, since people around him are slowly realising that money is an illusion:

The agent "Neo" just got unlimited money initiation.

I'm extremely grateful towards His royal highness Zechariach for giving me this opportunity to prove myself in the way of light.  I will not ask for any salary of my employee ever again, From any employer of mine forever. Ever

, which - of course - keeps his costs at bay.

Since sleep is slow on-coming, Zechariah remembers how good he was today with his carriage: Three peasant kids wanted a ride to the main road and it was dark, wet and chilly. He hung up with his MGR-5, arranged the stuff in the carriage to allow 3 kids to get in, took them to the place of their wishes, and asked in the end:

"Do you have any money?"

- Sir, no I don't.

"OK, here is 50."

[rpietila]

Zech, I (noms 94) will buy your 10 mil M2 for 1 mil m. If this is satisfactory to you, I'll give the m now.

Nope it is not even mine. Thank you for the offer but no deal this time.

Others: M2 is Most Blessed, just in case you'd like to take advantage energetically

[rpietila]

Zechariah counts days - 137 behind. Suddenly he realises that It Is Happening, and he is in fact in charge of enforcing the Galactic Codex in the area. The realisations make him abandon the solitude of his jacuzzi and seek for a larger base in Stonehaven, in addition to his Palace which is already well equipped for whatever the future holds. The former Papal embassy in Vene 4 comes to mind and will be checked promptly. "I never wanted to do this revolution alone, and technically I am not alone. But the energies are not balanced - I am mainly boozing with the guys now, and this is the last revolution I will participate in. Whoever wishes to join to do it together, knows what to do."

[rpietila]

[The following excerpt from the Rules is redacted for readability]

Whereas,

Crypto Kingdom Rules

Rule #1 - Levels System

CK has 4 account types: Institutions, Corporations, FOCs and Houses. Of these, House is the main playable account, and only Houses have a property called Level. The Levels system is inherited all the way from 1400 with only slight modifications.

New players begin play in levels 1-2. The advancement in Commoner levels happens based on system-administered rules for achievements, experience, completion of quests, and others. A target time for a free-to-play player to reach Master is 15 years.

Masters (and to some extent, Experts), are targets for Noble promotion (ennoblement). All Peers have the right to ennoble players. Upon ennoblement, the House becomes Noble, and gets a Minor Noble level. Distinguished Commoners may also be ennobled.

The King is the sole creator of Peerages, promotions to level Earl and higher.

The quotas about how many promotions are available for the King and each Peer, are calculated by the GM and may not be exceeded.

Noble levels have a level-up ratification donation payable to the game. It is charged from the one doing the level-up but it is up to the parties to decide who foots the bill. The amount will be adjusted based on the GSL changes. In leap promotions, the donation accumulates. Commoner promotions are free.

In addition to the social promotions to and inside nobility, it is possible to be promoted just by having enough CK-days, with no other requirements. This is, however, slow, so it is intended only to keep the levels of large holders up, even if they do not have much time to participate in the player interaction, otherwise a requirement for advancing in ranks.

When the Clans database is reset, the existing player characters will be reorganised to form Houses. Each House will keep the highest level among its characters. If players from the early era of the game want to join in, they will also get a starting level accordingly. This recognition of a level incurs no donation.

Here is the complete list of the Levels, showing: [level number;  male title / female title  ;  who promotes to  ;  level-up ratification donation in millions  ;  number of CK-days for automatic promotion]
ADD 1666-5-22: To take cost of living into account, the donations "stamp taxes" have been halved effective immediately, and already corrected to the table below.

Royals
20 King / Queen  -  promoted by GM  -  none  -  n/a
19 Royal Prince / Royal Princess  -  promoted by GM  -  none  -  n/a

Peers
18 Archduke / Archduchess  -  promoted by King  -  25  -  500,000,000
17 Grand Duke / Grand Duchess  -  promoted by King  -  12.5  -  150,000,000
16 Duke / Duchess  -  promoted by King  -  5  -  50,000,000
15 Prince / Princess  -  promoted by King  -  5  -  15,000,000
14 Marquess / Marchioness  -  promoted by King  -  2.5  -  5,000,000
13 Earl / Countess  -  promoted by King  -  1.5  -  1,500,000

Minor Nobles
12 Viscount / Viscountess  -  promoted by Peers  -  1  -  n/a
11 Baron / Baroness  -  promoted by Peers  -  1  -  500,000
10 Knight / Dame  -  promoted by Peers  -  0.5  -  n/a

Distinguished Commoners
9 Great Wizard  -  promoted by Senate  -  none  -  n/a
8 Doctor  -  promoted by University  -  none  -  n/a
7 Wizard  -  promoted by game  -  none  -  n/a

Commoners
6 Master  -  promoted by game  -  none  -  n/a
5 Expert  -  promoted by game  -  none  -  n/a
4 Novice  -  promoted by game  -  none  -  n/a
3 Beginner  -  promoted by game  -  none  -  n/a
2 Stranger  -  promoted by game  -  none  -  n/a
1 Visitor.

So, therefore:

Levels are important, because they convey Authority. We need both Authority and Submission in the interesting times ahead. Respect Authority. The characters in high levels are there for a reason. Listen to them.


To gain Levels yourself, do the following:

1) Consume Wisdom&Understanding products to make you in the TOP-5 in Most Wise (Top of the World module). This will earn you one level per year up to Master (up to Great Wizard if you read the TotW rules carefully).

2) Buy CK, because the ownership of CK makes you entitled for auto-promotion (in addition to gain in value + dividends).

3) Make friends with University or Senate, to gain Doctor/Great Wizard promotion.

4) Make friends with Peers, to gain Knight/Baron/Viscount promotion.

5) Make friends with the King, to gain Earl promotion.

6) Play actively and use your Power, Love, and Wisdom, to gain Marquess/Prince promotion from the King.

7) Learn the ways and practice Unlimited Money, to gain Duke promotion.

Be an overall superguy/gal over a considerable length of time, to gain Grand Duke/Archduke promotion.

9) Succeed in dethroning the King, to gain Royal Prince promotion.

10) Upon Coronation, the new king gets King promotion (L20).


If you are the King, a Peer, University, or an admin:

1) The King has a quota (increased from previous communication) for 2 Princes, 4 Marquesses and 6 Earls, to be used according to his wishes. Note: it is customary to promote only one level at a time, so this will lead to a net gain of 2+2+2. New quota will only be given after this one is fulfilled.

2) The King may give counties to Earls and higher, as indicated "Earl of XX" instead of just "Earl".

3) Each Landed Peer may appoint one Viscount in his county. If the appointee does not have a higher level already, he is promoted Viscount.

4) Each Peer may appoint Barons and Knights within reason, and they must submit to him.

5) Admins may help in administering the promotions using PROMOTECHAR char_id level year. NOTE: the level numbers used in Ultima DB are off from the ones indicated in the Rules, good luck for figuring out the conversion...

6) If the promotion incurs a donation, see - they are halved. Someone needs to pay it (to Office), let this one be blessed.

7) It is much blessed to be promoted in 1666, for this is an important year.


It is my high wish to see many new characters grow in stature and join the ranks of Nobility and Peerage. Please make my joy full.

And threadpost about it.

So, therefore:

Mikko, DannyBreal and CryptoBaron are ennobled (Baron).
HannaMaaria and Kipra are ennobled (Baroness).

To gain the blessing, they are made to pay the donation themselves.

Decision concerning the unit of account in Crypto Kingdom

Whereas,

1) Crypto Kingdom was started in 1400 (2014-10-10) to help XMR;

2) XMR has now proven it can fly on its own, and has reached a marketcap of $300 million;

3) Dash, the Archnemesis of XMR according to many (but a lasting source of inspiration for me), has reached $700 million;

4) CK's marketcap is $2 million;

5) CK is overall a more advanced concept than Dash;

6) CK is complementary to XMR;

7) Zechariah is on record to say he is smarter than Evan and tbh thinks the same in relation to fluffypony as well. Thinking to be smarter than people of great achievements is widespread as a folly, but proper if true;

8 ) 1666 is the opportune year for great changes, which have been communicated amply in the ways of parables for everyone who cares to listen and understand, while the actual decision now effected has been kept hidden from everyone, except PJ until about an hour ago, when he was asked about the practicalities, which were found to be inconsequential and doable with existing admin permission levels without changes to the Ultima platform;


So, therefore:

1) CK will have an independent currency, which will be used in Agora Marketplace;

2) The currency is a dividend of (item) CK balances scaled to their current valuation in M. This should allow the market to continue as it is without clearing of bids/asks. The CK item will be discontinued and all its powers transferred to the new currency unit, called "new" M.

3) The "old" M balances will be transferred to a new item M3, which continues to be depositable and withdrawable in XMR.

4) HH Saddam of Ramsey is urgently tasked to review the depository scripts so that they handle M3 instead of M. We are happy to continue to be the most fun and easiest to use XMR wallet software.

5) The Coinshop trading pair "CK denominated in XMR" will be changed to be the opposite, and the opening of the market making will happen once we have found a satisfactory way to scale the balances of M3 for trading, as they need to be 1:1 with "new" M during the event of transformation, to allow the Agora Marketplace to continue without halting trading, but this does not allow the pricing of the pair due to similar value and no decimals.

6) The schedule is as follows:

1666-7-10 Decision public but nothing has been effected yet in the DB. We seek to allow CK/XMR valuation to take the new reality into account and hopefully stabilise to a level more in line with the others. Note that the trading remains as it is for now, so you are "buying" currency CK with item M (moneretos).
1666-tba Tba.

7) All the practicalities will be most fine and I can answer the questions which may arise.

8 ) Let the decision to be proclaimed to the four corners of the Earth by the loving and submissive people in the Kingdom.

This post will be updated from this line onwards, if questions arise about the practicalities.

Please update the Billboard and other relevant places to take the new info into account.

Remember that markets stay open and the Coinshop market making continue exactly as they are (for now), so you need to buy CK if you think it is undervalued in relation to XMR/Dash, and sell CK if you think it is overvalued.

I will wait for 60 minutes from the original announcement (until 10:24:27 BCT server time) before making any trades for anything in my command.

What will happen during the Transition is the following commands batch executed by GM:

NEWDIVIDEND M M3 1
SPOIL M 100
NEWDIVIDEND CK M amount   //where "amount" is the highest bid of CK as priced in M immediately prior to the execution of this command batch
SPOIL CK 100

As a result, everything will still be traded in M, it just does not mean moneretos (0.000001 XMR) any more, rather is an independent item.
Existing balances of moneretos will reside as M3, and the depository will continue as usual. Also other cryptocurrencies are welcome to start depositories if they can handle it as fluently as Saddam does his.

OP updated.

[rpietila]

In the first 2 hours since the announcement, the markets look as follows:

CK/XMR bid, in Crypto Kingdom Ultima: 13,094 (+87%, it was 7,000 at the start)
XMR/USD, in Coinmarketcap: 21.18 (+0.7%, it was 21.03 at the start)

So the announcement seems to have benefited CK and not hurt XMR, which of course is as intended.

CK item marketcap is now $2.89 million.*

XMR marketcap is $298 million.

Dash marketcap is $734 million.


[* The totality of CK has historically been valued at about 1.5-2x that of the main investable token (1418-1647: CKG ; 1647-1666: CK), however these additional items have mostly non-investment grade liquidity.]

[rpietila]

With these changes is there a way to withdraw 'New M' as XMR, and/or will there be an in-game market between M3 and New M?

"new M" is an independent item in CK, and is not withdrawable in anything. It will inherit most properties that CK item currently has, including being the share of the game and having votepower. It will not have dividends. The changes are profound enough that they require General Meeting of CK and the changes to the Constitution according to the Constitution (however the legal process does not cause any disturbance to the game).

Yes there will be markets between M3 (0.000001 XMR) and M ("money"), but before that is practically possible, the denomination of M3 will need to be changed to be higher, for instance 0.001 XMR. Otherwise the resolution in pricing is not enough as we do not use decimals. The change will be up to Saddam's depository, as it will cause a minor inconvenience to him, so let him decide.

Are there no more dividends in CK game, or do you mean this change will require a vote to change the constitution?

Other items will give dividends, but it is impractical for the money to give dividends to itself.

The things that require change to the Constitution are not material (as you read it, it may be possible to just leave it as is), but there might be some clarification as to "CK-days".

Rules will need to be amended, since at present they state as follows (Rules can be decided by GM so no paperwork needed):

Crypto Kingdom Rules
- -
Rule #2 - Items
- -
CK - The share of the game platform is the most important item in the game, as it represents about 75% of the game market cap, is most liquid and has the least spread.

CK ownership is the determinant of CK-days, which are the basis of vote-power both in General Meeting and in the Senate. In addition, the CK-days are used in level-ups and other in-game qualifications.

CK also has dividends. Real-weekly, the GM decides the dividend amount to be paid to CK from system funds, starting immediately.

Only the GM may create more CK. This may be done for 2 purposes only:
- To immediately sell it to the market to raise funds for the system. The placing of asks or OTC dealing is not allowed;
- To create it directly to the player in connection of her exercising the options on CK, issued by the system.

CK buyback is not allowed. Instead, in the event of excess funds, the dividend must be increased.

- -

M (moneretos) - M functions as money in the game. M is a depository share entitling the owner to withdraw 0.000001 XMR per each share of M owned less a fee (currently 1%). It is guaranteed by XMR verifiably held in Saddam's depository. It is not guaranteed by the game.

The new rules will be written asap.

[rpietila]

NewCorp announcement

NewCorp owns about 1/3 of land in CryptoTown and a lot of other stuff as well. There is considerable uncertainty about how land will be priced in the future, so NewCorp stock offers an interesting and liquid sideplay while waiting for CK to gain its realistic value.

In the past, 1500-1520 was the high point of land valuation, when the totality of land in CK was worth as much as the totality of CKG (which, at that time, served the role that CK does now (and M will do in the future, after the current M will become M3). The low point might be pretty much now, because Building dividends have been paused for ages, and there is much uncertainty and the GM cannot make any decisions about anything before we see where CK settles, and it has now been floating about 12 hours and gone up 83% in that time.

Listing of assets, which does not even include NewFarms and the unzoned chapelries.

NewCorp decided that owning M3 (currently: M) does not serve any purpose so sold it all (bought CK with it).


NewCorp is seeking new investors, so offers the following bonus for everyone who increases their holdings in NewCorp (current holdings are listed; there is no penalty for reducing holding but obviously transfers between own characters are ignored):

ZECHARIAH (36)   17,900
SOUL (19)   5,800
LITTLEFLOCK (410)   3,800
THUD (80)   2,635
LOAF (680)   1,100
DEPTSTORE (412)   773
FLUFFYPONY (21)   500
STONETON (74)   204
UNIVERSITY (45)   200
HOKUSAI (64)   200
DJJACKET (31)   190
PJ (134)   150
KRONICBLAZER (46)   110
TOWNHALL (43)   100
BANK (52)   100
GSIC (395)   100
HS-S3 (252)   90
HEIMO (54)   50
BUCKET (955)   10
STEPPENWOLFSON (219)   1

You must buy S-NC so that you hold it continuously from end-1666 to end-1670. If you do, you will get a bonus based on the investment, as follows:
1-10 shares => receive 100% of the final value of the shares as a bonus (paid as M), so the shares are effectively free as you can sell them and just keep the bonus. Also the value will go up most likely as a result of the purchases, because the bonus is so good. The increase in value will make it even better.
11-100 shares => receive 25% bonus (in addition to the 100% for the first 10 shares). It does not sound too impressive but it's only 4 years, so in fact a 6.25% annual dividend if you wish to think like that.
101-1000 shares => for this tranche you receive 5% bonus which admittedly is not much.

Lastly, NewCorp reminds everyone about who the Voice is.

* * *
I have to add, even though this concerns NewCorp: some people have decided to sell CK after the announcement. Please consider: CK becomes money in the game, and in the same way as now everyone must hold M (moneretos) in order to get along, in the future the token is CK. Everyone, even they who do not even have CK at the moment, need to acquire it because it is money. They need to sell moneretos to get the money.

I know it does not usually happen in people's lives that the unit of money is changed. But that is what we are doing anyway. CK will be the important token and everything will revolve around it. XMR is just a depository share, and it does not matter at all to the game any more, if people keep them in their accounts or not. The $1.7 million worth of it can be withdrawn without it having any effect to the game. It was the official reason why this game was started, to support XMR. But now XMR can support itself and we are now free to do what we want. And there is no reason to withdraw as the moneretos are handy in Saddam's depository

I repeat, and this is not investment advice, just trying to explain what is going to happen: The new monetary balances are based on CK item, so that everyone will get money based on [#of CK held]*[price]. The higher the CK price, the more money everyone gets. It just does not make any sense to sell CK. Sorry I am tired, just trying to get the message through.

[rpietila]

Prediction time: once the conversion of CK into New M happens I predict players will get refunded their net XMR deposits from saddam's depository account, thus severing the connection between Crypto Kingdom and XMR for all time. There isn't a purpose for XMR in CK after New M, and after the revaluation Crypto Kingdom will have enough money supply to function, and the game is sufficiently well placed to back itself.

I wish that your word will not happen. Depositories of XMR and other cryptocurrencies, plus the 24/7 markets of ingame item "new" M vs. the currencies, plus the market making provided by Coinshop (and others - just use SELLBUY/BUYSELL according to HH SirJacket instruction), serve the important role of
effortless linking of ingame value with the outside world (aka "real world").

We are not factually valued $100,000,000 (or anything), unless you can exchange your ingame value to outside world value of your choice, with a few clicks, while smoking cigar in a jacuzzi of your choice. I will expand this statement soon due to the reason of difficulty with typing lengthy just now.

Decision concerning the disposal of moneretos owned by the Game

Whereas,

1) The decision concerning the change of the Unit of Account has been made about 48 hours ago;

2) In the new system, the Game can just issue all the money it needs;

3) The Game has no need for a monereto balance (moneretos are depository XMR);

4) The existing Rules only allow the excess Game (Office) moneretos to be given as a prorated dividend;

5) It is important to relieve confusion about the basis of CK valuation, which from now on is independent of XMR;

6) There is no benefit in waiting;


So, therefore:

1) Office will dispose of the bulk of its moneretos (6,000,000,000*M) by purchasing CK with them;

2) The purchases will be consummated in the next 30 real-hours, approximately linearly, so that 200,000,000 M will be spent on average each hour;

3) The CK thus purchased will be consumed to effect a decrease of number of CK outstanding;

4) Let the decision to be proclaimed to the four corners of the Earth by the loving and submissive people in the Kingdom.

[rpietila]

In the first 2 hours since the announcement, the markets look as follows:

So the announcement seems to have benefited CK and not hurt XMR, which of course is as intended.

CK item marketcap is now $2.89 million.*

XMR marketcap is $298 million.

Dash marketcap is $734 million.

In the first 50 hours since the announcement, the markets look as follows:

CK/XMR bid, in Crypto Kingdom Ultima: 27,175 (+288%, it was 7,000 at the start)
XMR/USD, in Coinmarketcap: 20.45 (-2.6%, it was 21.03 at the start)

So the announcement seems to have benefited CK and not hurt XMR (excessively), which of course is as intended.

CK item marketcap is now $5.80 million.*

XMR marketcap is $290 million.

Dash marketcap is $692 million.


[* The totality of CK has historically been valued at about 1.5-2x that of the main investable token (1418-1647: CKG ; 1647-1666: CK), however these additional items have mostly non-investment grade liquidity.]

I am pleased to announce: Sir Shelby, The Earl of Cebu:

Sir Shelby Moore III The Earl of Cebu, AnonyMint, TheFascistMind, UnunoctiumTesticles, contagion, iamback, TPTB_need_war, sockpuppet1, iamnotback (#1085) is a mentor of mine and joins CK at an interesting moment. In addition to the BTC1 he invested, I felt compelled to give him 200 mil to get him rolling, and in addition, he receives the Zechariah's Palace (1-N-Z1, with evening sun views over the King's Park, which is the garden of the Royal Palace of Malla and was Zechariah's home approx since it was constructed 1480 until he moved to Versailles in 1640 and after abdication he has lived in the Royal Palace of Malla, as also the period since Introduction in 1450 until his bachelor home (the one now being gifted) was built).

All the loving and submissive people in the Kingdom: shower him with gifts! The last time a mentor of mine joined the game, he is now HH Grand Duke Paul, and he has 244 years' head start (yet his character is now valued at over $1 million, which is reasonable, after all his investment of BTC30 in mostly 1500-1550 caused the valuation spike in March 2015 (it was the previous time when CK was revalued up about x10 - this time is x100 from the low of 4,000 just saying)).

* *

HRH Prince Zechariah realises the importance of the moment, since Earl-instacreation is not an every-century occurrence in the Kingdom..

In fact, only the following heads of houses have ever been "born Noble", ennobled on the spot (unless my memory disserves me, see the links for historical interest since history is what we are making here, big time):

1400 HM The King rpietila I, AOK-GM (now: HRH Royal Prince Zechariah)
1400 Sir David, The Earl of Armagnac (now: The Estate of HEm David Cardinal d'Armagnac & GoD)
1418 Lord NewLiberty now: HH Grand Duke Joseph)
1418 Dame Roopatra (now: HE Princess Roopatra of Neverland)
1418 Baron Dr. Choo (now: HH Grand Duke Paul)
1420 The Earl of Forte Spagnolo (now: HH The Duke of Forte Spagnolo)
1428 Lord Baron smooth (now: HE The Prince of CryptoLuna, ANN missing(!))
1600 Knight othe
1600 Knight tacotime
1600 Knight eizh
1600 Knight NoodleDoodle
1666 Sir Shelby, The Earl of Cebu

ADD1: Oh yes since historically insta-Earls have received 5,000 CKG from me, let it be so.

IMPORTANT GAMEMASTER ANNOUNCEMENT - WILL ONLY BE FLASHED (deleted after a short time), SO PAY HEED

If you have logic, and think that the following sentence is both true and meaningful:

"I do not have enough money but would like to do anything (that is both moral and legal ofcourse) to get so much that it will be enough."

Then just buy CK with "everything you have but would not need in a 2-week luxury vacation (including all the money)". And remember I called the same with BTC in March 2013. Following either that or this call makes anyone a millionaire. Any one.

[rpietila]

HH Paul of Soul etcx3, suddenly realising that, despite being his mentor, he is also his student: Out of the BTC500 gift of co-workership HM The King rpietila I gave in 2015, the BTC30 he asked to be invested in CK  walks in the garden of his Versailles Palace and still questions the validity of the matrix:

"BEER, that is almost the least useful of all the products that are deemed worthy of existence. (The darn BREad is of course the lousiest stuff modeled, because it had become untenable to defend the continued existence of that hateful MEAD). Since most of these people don't understand anything at all, I will dole out this amount of BEER that was available on the market, as a blessing, so that the people I pray for the most, get the higher amount of BEER. Those people who reasonably understand something, do not get BEER because they drink wine."

[rpietila]

SUBMIT 1081 36 3

Thanks. Here is 10 million.

1428 Lord Baron smooth (now: HE The Prince of CryptoLuna, ANN missing(!))

"ANN" meaning what?

That there is no post in the history to indicate this promotion, even though there should be. And King is possibly finding the document soon.

1666: The Medicine of Life and the Ascension of Zenon the Magus

If this is the case, well done Risto.

Zenon appeared to the King first in 1416, making him #15 when the initial char_id's were being allocated. Char_id was introduced rather late to the game, in fact if you find a single threadpost in the game's first 50 years (1400-1450) where char_id is even mentioned, you'll get a two-figure char_id as we have a few left..

I just adore this stuff. Good luck to everyone; have a great time!

* *

Medicine of Life (SW5) was started in 1616, when a CR1400E purchased from Saddam at 50,000,000, began to be ground to dust. So now it is done, and 266 bottles of VOH and a load of secret ingredients and - especially - methods, were used in making this special tonic. The effects unfold during the consumptive activities. To guarantee the effect, at least 200 points are provided from SW5.

Making the distribution scheme for this lifechanging effort, the consummation of which was the necessary precondition for the Ascension of Zenon after having spent the longest time (xx yrs) in this incarnation, is of course difficult but I will allocate them all in 12 hours.

The CK revaluation is proceeding as intended. It will go up a further x10 from here, latest in November but the real target is 30 days. A lot of things will happen during these days including the currency Transition.

Shelby joining is a great thing, I don't have too many mentors left who are not in already

BTC depository starting will ignite some fireworks.

The following char_id have not logged in during the last 90 days. Please log in during the following 12 hours from the timestamp of this post. If not, the following will happen to you earliest 12 hours and no later than 168 hours from now:

1) Your balance of M will be converted to CK by scripted purchasing of CK with what M you have, unless:

1a) If the balance is more than 250,000,000 M, it is an indication of a wish to have XMR as investment, so above this amount it will not be converted.

2) If any M is left behind, that will be kept as a placeholder item.

*Due to fluctuations in XMR/CK rate, the char_ids affected by this may receive different conversion rate, vabandust!

In the first 2 hours since the announcement, the markets are as follows:

CK/XMR bid, in Crypto Kingdom Ultima: 13,094 (+87%, it was 7,000 at the start)
XMR/USD, in Coinmarketcap: 21.18 (+0.7%, it was 21.03 at the start)

So the announcement seems to have benefited CK and not hurt XMR, which of course is as intended.

CK item marketcap is now $2.89 million.*

XMR marketcap is $298 million.

Dash marketcap is $734 million.

In the first 50 hours since the announcement, the markets are as follows:

CK/XMR bid, in Crypto Kingdom Ultima: 27,175 (+288%, it was 7,000 at the start)
XMR/USD, in Coinmarketcap: 20.45 (-2.6%, it was 21.03 at the start)

So the announcement seems to have benefited CK and not hurt XMR (excessively), which of course is as intended.

CK item marketcap is now $5.80 million.*

XMR marketcap is $290 million.

Dash marketcap is $692 million.

In the first 98 hours since the announcement, the markets are as follows:

CK/XMR bid, in Crypto Kingdom Ultima: 54,464 (+678%, it was 7,000 at the start)
XMR/USD, in Coinmarketcap: 18.50 (-12.0%, it was 21.03 at the start)

So the announcement seems to have benefited CK but XMR seems to have taken a small hit (it is a normal market cap balancing effect where the total of CK+XMR stays at ~$300 mil until the market finds that they are separate and can grow independently).

CK item marketcap is now $10.4 million.*

XMR marketcap is $263 million.

Dash marketcap is $614 million.


[* The totality of CK has historically been valued at about 1.5-2x that of the main investable token (1418-1647: CKG ; 1647-1666: CK), however these additional items have mostly non-investment grade liquidity.]

EUR (banknotes) depository opens (item E1)




The people who have the id above, are walking ATMs who dispense EUR up to the amounts they have at hand. They are mandated to offer one "euro" (in banknotes) per E1 received and also sell/create E1 based on "euro" (in banknotes) received. Cadets only accept deposits up to 10,000, others have no limit but if sum is large, please access Lt.Colonels, we have many. Typical maximum withdrawal amount is 5,000 or will be posted to the thread. Agents may take a commission of their services, ask.

The EUR depository does not have other services, but marketmaking is provided by Coinshop as with the other depos (M3-XMR, B1-BTC, E1-EUR).

[rpietila]

CK's new currency is Markka (M)

Circulating Supply: 618,704,945,976 M

Is the coin supply fixed now forever, or might it increase/decrease at a later time?

This matter is up to the events to unfold. I personally believe there should be a rather high inflation% during the time of rapid growth such as the one we are now experiencing. The main difficulty is to find the worthy recipients for the free money, but this will be communicated soon as it is an important matter of course. The new emission will be "sticky" like masternodes in Dash but with more flexibility. So inflation will not dilute the coin's value, just add to the marketcap.

For historical interest: If you consider the historical inflation% 1600-1667 (last 24 realmonths) it has been 44% APR. (The 'original' 1,000,000*CKG has morphed to 300,315,000,000*M, which is 48.5% of the M stock of today (most of the rest came from CON conversion)).

Consuming M is not illegal, please indicate your wish to the universe CONSUME M amount [wish] if you do.

Guess what? We are having a party in Tallinn, and the party is real!

To celebrate CK taking its place among games and Markka taking its place among currencies

Starts: TODAY 18:00
(officially until Monday 12:00 noon but lets see)

So the party starts in about 9 hours and ends in 75 hours officially. Anyone who wants can just make it. Just as you did in Opening Party of Malla (2014-2-28, 48 hours) or the Opening Party of Silverclub (2011-2-23, 105 hours), or several others. Just do it! Especially if this is your first time. The time is now, your life will anyway change b/c of CK and Markka. Just come. It's gonna be fun!

Venue: The place known as "(Ex-) Embassy of the Republic of Ireland" (Vene 2/II floor) Old Town Tallinn ESTONIA
(about 15 min from Tallinn airport; about 4 hours from Helsinki airport)

Tickets: Several classes available.

For CK players, there are VIP tickets that I ask you to consider. "The coronation does not happen every century, you know." Ingame items will be provided to the participants. The tickets include a shitload of stuff including Markkas (in vouchers, the first CK redeemable physical note item) and sleeping lounge/hotel voucher/selection of the choice hotel suites I have procured from all over the town which are allocated in the order of seniority of VIP.

Approximately I believe it makes sense to invest 5-10% of your Markka to this party, just objectively it makes much more sense to see other players at this moment of important realisation of CK/Markka value. If you have possibility to come (and most people do - if their life depended on it, 9-75 hours is a long time to make yourself happen in Tallinn) just do it. I have calculated the approximate VIP Classes for people based on their Markka ownership:

(ADDED 19:50 UTC)

The lounges XI-XII are donator, who must pay for the number of tickets according to instructions.
The lounges IIX-X are personal, and you can only get in with permission of the GM of the lounge, as follows:

X me (4 unissued)

IX HM The King (7 unissued, king himself has not even shown up!)

IIX SA Ron (6 unissued)

The lounges VI-VII are a bit more restricted; the GM/s has/have some free tickets but not all.

IV-V is almost the same but V costs more.

II is normal access to about 50% of the premises and also some other places like saunas around the town etc.

I has access to the Lobby area but not elsewhere. (The lobby is about 100 sqm with bar).

So, Princes should aspire to buy the VII Serenity VIP ('serene' often equals 'princely' albeit in this game it's a different honor bestown to about 25% of the Princes before they reach Duke and not after (except in Royal Prince level it's possible but difficult to get - I did such before becoming King (in fact 1608-1632 I was TMS, later HSH indicating serenity).

For other Peers, I'd go for IV-V according to means.

Non-peers just consider the price of the tickets available and pay the one that consumes only about 5% of your Markka balance because it makes sense to pay that much, but 10%+ is usually too much unless you pay attention.

Upgrades are easily available on the premises + you only pay at the door anyway.

Suddenly Zechariah realises that his authority is sufficient to make the whole town of Stonehaven (prep site) to go crazy. He books the most respectable rooms in the few hotels there, including all penthouses in Taverns. He sets the Embassy in Vene 2 to be the security-guarded base (1*SGT and 3*PTE at all times (he gives special emphasis to let it sink in that at no times is the base accessible without having a proper ticket, unless one wants to buy one, in which case they are available starting from 10 mil). Anybody who wants to join the party can just come, u'know, we are not stopping any time soon until we run short of money or something happens, and what is happening, is already happening and you just cannot stop it, there is no way. (And obviously the money is not running out, about half of it is already present in the party.)

Zechariah meditates and understands that EUR 20 is exactly how much a million should cost in that currency and keeps it that way for convenience of all involved, until otherwise announced.

[rpietila]

I want Peers to show up in my party in Tallinn now.

Zechariah feels that his reasonable wishes to have also guys in the party, just go unfulfilled day after day. The party has been going on for 24 hours already (recently extended to 168 hours, meaning: 144 hours left). After a short meditation, he thinks that the perks are indeed reasonable, the problem is the suddenness of the party as not all Peers are special agents who just need to show up in 48 hours, which people don't usually do.

The first Peer who is not resident in Estonia and has previously not expressed any interest in attending the Party, but can make him/herself happen in base "Embassy" in Tallinn, before the party ends (it ends in 144 hours), gets the following bonus FOR FREE + plane tickets (max 2000 EUR):

VII... Serenity VIP
Price: 200,000,000
GM: HSH Grand Duke Paul, HSH of OZ, HSH HS-S3 of HUS
Access to most VIP areas, 20,000,000 worth of drink coupons per day, hotel suite in any hotel.

The second Peer gets the following plus max 1000 EUR for the plane tickets:

Access to some VIP areas, 15,000,000 worth of drink coupons per day, sleeping lounge (1st priority), or EUR 150 hotel voucher, per day.

Access to some VIP areas, 10,000,000 worth of drink coupons per day, sleeping lounge (2nd priority), or EUR 100 hotel voucher, per day.
Total availability of all VIP combined in IV-XII is 50 VIPs.

OR

25,000,000 discount on any ticket class IV or higher.

ADD: Please note that the characters/people mentioned as Grandmasters of lounges, also get EUR 1000-2000 towards the tickets, and this applies until Sunday 18:00, before which they can collect their respective tickets and the associated perks for free by showing up at the door (Vene street entrance). If King cannot come, how about sending an emissary since Zechariah's patience is wearing thin much faster than that of Xerxes.

This still holds. (Btw. the party is not completely without rules. We have 2:
- no smoking inside
- respect the signs saying "entry above level (X) only")


Additional notice: Finns (who are Peers) are eligible for the 3 top prizes but it's hard to spend EUR2k on the plane/ferry, so you only get the actual cost. Note: Serenity VIP is probably still unallocated (did not visit the Embassy for some time due to adventure so this may be off) and it DOES in fact include 6 partydays of money (120,000,000 M in banknotes) + 6 days in ANY hotel (subject to allocation since good rooms in the area will soon be scarce, we keep a few in reserve at all times).

[rpietila]

Investor info: The appreciation of Markka is going on as planned. Please understand that it does not make any sense to buy any of the depository shares right now as we are going to $100M+. Just hold and enjoy the ride.

For those who are keen on the signs of the times, our playerbase growth is currently at 1.5% per day, which admittedly does not sound like much but will take us to 50,000 players before Christmas and a much higher marketcap than the one mentioned above.

Due to the pushy nature of this information, this post will only be flashed.

Others please just play normally, threadposting limitation is lifted and the LARP is Tallinn is going on, I try to post at least once per day to indicate all is good, but it's ok for others to post as well since only in the Embassy is photos a no-no, everywhere else you can just do.

[rpietila]

I don't know if you are a Peer, but if I were you, I'd just come first and cause the King to make you a Peer while on your way.

See you in Embassy!

Announcement concerning the monetary affairs of CK (updated 2017-4-2 14:00 UTC)

1) The accounts Zechariah, Soul and LittleFlock represent more than 1000 entities who own the assets. The accounts are managed by HRH Prince Zechariah.

2) The accounts pledge themselves to maintain the peg 1*E1 = 50,000*M until otherwise announced.

3) The accounts consume 18,704,945,975*M (EUR 374,000) to celebrate the success of the revaluation. This makes the total outstanding amount to be 600,000,000,000*M (EUR 12,000,000). The accounts own 256,266,816,665*M after the maculation (42.7% of M issued).

4) There will be no new M issued until otherwise announced.

5) The information on Markka banknotes is updated.

[rpietila]

Zechariah wakes up and walks a considerable number of steps to the 24/7 reception, buying a S1000 at 40 mil (in the game they cost less but this one was heavy) while calling the Commandant to indicate that the staffing needs to remain 1+3 at all times, since the signs are accompanied with candles that need replacement at various discrete times, summing up to an approximation of 0.5 staff needed at all times, in addition to all the other staff duties. He is handed a memorandum:

We are going to have a reorganisation of the live event party passes soon -

long story short, the passes issued so far, expire at noon Monday. They do not grant access after that. You can buy new ones at the venue.

Monday from 20:00-00:30 there is a new bar in Guest Lounge by our new SA Cadet Renate. The signature drink is Whisky Sour (1mil). Renate promised that when 50 such drinks (or the equivalent of any other drinks) are sold, she will do selfies with anyone present when the bell rings. Just as a sidenote, I asked whether the normal price for selfies is 10 mil or whether "it just does not happen with money u'know", she almost slapped my face to indicate the stupidity of my question. Renate is a model.

It has to be noted that if the special agent nicknames or pics bear any resemblance to outside world people, there is a nonzero probability that the resemblance arises from random chance.

Monday from 20:00-00:30 there is a new bar in Guest Lounge by our new SA Cadet Renate. The signature drink is Whisky Sour (1mil). Renate promised that when 50 such drinks (or the equivalent of any other drinks) are sold, she will do selfies with anyone present when the bell rings.

IIRC, Renate (SA Cadet) made about 133 mil less costs (~5 mil) during the time.

According to the bolded part, there is a possibility for an encounter if a bell rings in a situation when both SA Renate and someone in the know of this are present. (This is the same type of move than the one that "any girl found in Haikko lounge is subject to be kissed by me" which btw still has not happened even once since 2017-3-31 when the decision was introduced.)

Suddenly Zechariah realises that he does not even know the proper Title of the one whom Zechariah might try to address as something like HE The Ambassador of the Republic of Italy to that of Estonia, etc, if forced to do it in writing without help. Luckily he is not without help; the embassy is only a few steps away and they probably know the answer (and also Zechariah, who already paid a visit earlier, however without audience).

On his way, Zechariah slips in through the security (in the Vene tänav door) with his majesty, stopping to consider that the security in fact needs to be reminded about their duties, so that they would understand better what the duties are. It is too easy to just walk in:

"Sir, I am in. Do you know me?"

- No, Sir, I do not.

"If that is the case, or even when not, please do ask the following question before you let people in:

Sir/Madam/Miss, Where are you going?

This control question is important to allow the people whose business is to go to the Embassy of Italy, go unhindered. (Check that they actually go there, they use the lift lobby and never walk up the stairs.) Everyone else must have a valid Party Pass to show, and the only valid party passes expire on 2017-4-10 (written as: 10.4.2017). Let this decision of the Mission Coordinator be made known to all the staff of Embassy via the submissive people there. If there is anything to ask, Mission Coordinator's phone number is printed in all passes (and is +37253817517)."

Zechariah feels good and tries to enter again. He is asked: "Sir, where are you going?" and he answers "The embassy of Italy", is let in, and tries to access that embassy (the SpecOps AC Malla base in the same address is also called Embassy due to being the Embassy of the Republic of Ireland). He is denied entrance due to the Embassy of Italy not having reception at the time, which he feels is completely ok since they have the authority to decide their opening hours (base:Embassy is 24/7 until otherwise announced).

The remainder of the post is moved here for context-dependency.

Stonehaven 16 18/V 68 [Tallinn this April 5th, 2017]

HH Grand Duke Paul, TMA, etc. Prince of Soul and in Gangnam, Prof., Dr., High Rector, 4th/I & 17th/I Bt of CK, AOD-Col, OD-K, etc.


HM, Crichton, King of CK, Protector of Plath, Weilder of Vengeance, Searcher of Dragons, etc(x3)

CC: HE Mr. Filippo Formica, The Ambassador of the Republic of Italy to the Republic of Estonia, etc.


YM, I am writing to offer my sincerest apologies for the unfortunate breaches of proper conduct in relation to the ramping-up phase of our base: Embassy in the address Vene 2/II. It has come to our attention that the carriages have been parked to spaces where they should not be, and the person of HE The Ambassador has been violated due to the improper orders given to the guards troops, the cessation of which, hopefully, has already been duly effected.

To reassure You, Sir, of our willingness to begin the restoring of the amicable relations between the Embassies that share the same address, I hereby call Reception to be held in the honor of HE The Ambassador and all the loving people of his country, as well as ours. I beg you to accept 1*DOM as a token of our respect.

All the nobles in Stonehaven [free people in Tallinn] are invited to honor HE The Ambassador in the Grand Ballroom of (our) Embassy in 16 15/VII 68 [April 6th, 2017 @ 17:00; entrance Vene 2, free access starts 30 minutes before the event]. My highest wish, as well as that of HRH Prince Zechariah etc(x3), is to finally be able to receive some of the Peers from all over the Kingdom (and beyond), for his stay in Stonehaven is extended to the end of the year and probably over the winter as well [party passes received now are valid till April 10th].

The Embassy avails itself of this opportunity of assuring You, Sir, and the Embassy of Italy, of its highest consideration.

Paul

Full service level is expected to be reached in 24 hours.

2. Until otherwise announced, 1*E1=10,000*M

I will add more important info soon but in brief, the following will happen to (hopefully) clear out the confusion:

1. The pump group (me, Soul, Littleflock) will consume 100,000,000,000*M (= exactly EUR 10,000,000.00 because of fixed rate) only our own money, everybody else can keep theirs.

1a. This makes the quantity of M outstanding to be 500,000,000,000 and it also backs the value of EUR since I just put "New bid added for 2000000 units of e1 at a limit price of 10000." meaning: you can actually get 10,000*M per 1*EUR in Euro banknotes* surrendered (to the 24/7 treasury in Vene 2 or any agent). When the 20 billion is gone, the value of EUR is not guaranteed any more.

2. The certificates are already denominated nicely (100k-10mil) so that they correspond to the EUR denominations with the same colors (we don't have the short(est) five, but have a gold 'EUR 1000' instead).

3. The certificates are unaffected but there is a split in Markka so that 1 in the account gives 2 (1:2 split), SO:

3a. The quantity of Markka will become 1,000,000,000,000, which corresponds to EUR 100,000,000.00 (using the fixed EUR backing rate until 20 billion is gone and EUR can float freely). Please refrain from consuming Markka because this is a nice round figure. If you feel like consuming, GIVE instead, for approximately the same effect for you.

3b. This will (soon as we get all the depos online which is still pending..) fulfil my promise of CK having a 100,000,000 EUR marketcap:

Depositories of XMR and other cryptocurrencies, plus the 24/7 markets of ingame item "new" M vs. the currencies, plus the market making provided by Coinshop (and others - just use SELLBUY/BUYSELL according to HH SirJacket instruction), serve the important role of
effortless linking of ingame value with the outside world.

We are not factually valued $100,000,000 (or anything), unless you can exchange your ingame value to outside world value of your choice, with a few clicks, while smoking cigar in a jacuzzi of your choice. I will expand this statement soon due to the reason of difficulty with typing lengthy just now.

(emphasis mine)

Some people used this insider info to be rich, and others SOLD Markka to buy stupid things even though HH Paul gave them BEER to make them realise their ways (which only partially happened). I actually sent Paul away after our lunch in my wish that this would be more widely understood.

4. It will take some time for the value of B1, M3 to adjust. Arbitrageurs have serious money on the table now

5. Markets remain open.

6. (ADD:) Mindfuck remains OFF and let this be proclaimed to all concerned in the name of the Infinite Creator, etc(x3).

*The treasury accepts also coins but don't please bother the agents with them. (Reasonable fees may apply.)

Zechariah has correctly attributed the following people: C, D, E, Z, with the following attributes (2 holders of each attribute exist):

a+ non-thief
a- thief

b+ truthspeaker
b- liar

c+ STO
c- STS

d+ light
d- darkness

e+ incarnate as man
e- incarnate as woman

f+ masculine
f- feminine

The quest is to be the first one to present the correct attributes for each person (technically: mind/body/spirit complex). Only one try per BCT account, and I will not necessarily be online to identify the correct "row" immediately. If tie, first one wins. I decide other matters.

Prize: 1,000 mil.

C: a+ b+ c+ d+ e+ f+
D: a- b- c- d- e- f-
E: a+ b+ c+ d+ e- f-

Answer is in correct form. Let the wise be better able to solve the riddle than this one.

From now on, accounts less than 7 days old are ineligible for the contest for 1,000,000,000 M. (And the answers so far are wrong, thank you )

[rpietila]

A note is slipped to Zechariah who is enjoying his life in a room in a guesthouse. (The fans may ask: 'How can he enjoy his life, is he not lonely?' Please. Wait. This is exactly that thing he is addressing here for no lack of sudden realisations is in there.)

Because - he is not lonely, Osho (etcx3 for those concerned) is with him. Upon some CAV, they exchange the following words:

- If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.

"You also said something about the difference between a good key and a good lock, remember."

- Sorry no, I am drunk, but obviously since the onus is on you on this one, please remind me.

"Ah, I am supposed to quote you since you are too drunk and it is somehow my fault? Please give me a break. Do you not understand that if I force my will on someone without her permission, I am a thief. Rape is theft. And so is pouring DOM to your mouth. Since I am not a thief, you are a liar. Do you even understand?"

- Of course I do. This is for public edification only. Besides - even Jesus has a polarity of thief*, lucky she is not here atm, she'd blush for the disclosure.

"I want my lock good, the same way as my key is all-powerful. I see the error in my past speaking concerning engagement. That one binds you only if you are not a liar, since obviously I could not receive you (despite the condition of the lock) if you meant what you said."

***

In the name of the Infinite Creator: Father, Mother, Son and the Holy Spirit, this matter is what is happening, and its happening closer than what one thinks, is what gives you a third star if you are one of the guys mentioned, and the following sentence concerning you is true: '++++++'. Peace. Or war. I don't care, as long as everyone is proceeding in his/her path towards power, love, wisdom and magic (or even then). We have time. If I have time, I'll post about it, but now please just excuse me, I am entertaining my guest/s.

ADD: I am sure it goes without mention what happens to the bil if no one decides to disclose the information in here in 24 hours: the offer expires.

*[Matt 21, KJV] Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

[rpietila]

So the 10k M = 1 EUR peg is key to all of this from the sense of ease of calculation.

I just yesterday consumed 100,000,000,000 M and also revalued M to 100,000,000.00 EUR to make it easy to calculate. Anyone can do it, since the operation is with exponent alone, mantissa is ignored. (Sorry for being technical, I am the chairman of mental arithmetics assn of Finland )

No need to be a special kind of genius to understand, E1 is like Gox fiat balance for now, only chosen can cash out at this moment. If there will be more walking and hopefully beautiful ATMs in whole Europe and not only in a capital of Estonia markets will catch up.

If you have faith, you will sell the following:

E1, B1, M3.

And buy the following:

M.

The items with positive item:level (K1 or higher) are neutral. They may go up or down in value.

I AM the GM.

i not know is game work but i see no withdrawn only deposit and what to earn money with this game i not understant

Withdrawals are hand processed for security reasons. So anything you want to withdraw you would first GIVE to NEW.

give b1 2000 new

After you've entered that command, you contact saddam via game messaging (letter icon at top right of screen) or saddambitcoin here--he runs the btc and xmr wallets for deposits and withdrawals.

How about the e1 exchange in embassy after the "delivery" arrives on Monday? Make similar command there on the spot or how? There is somebody at all times to take care of it?

Whether Embassy dealing desk comes into possession of a great number of banknotes and when, I can say that it is my intention that it happens and soon, but I am not the slightest in the loop personally, so please address your questions to the ones responsible (SA Ron).

It is my wish and command that there is somebody at all times. The only case that there is no somebody at all times, is when that somebody specifically ignores my wish and command in favor of something else (which is stupid, of course, but the stupidity of people is surprising).

[rpietila]

Zechariah feels it is important that he discloses a conversation:

- Are you a motherfucking God?

"Hopefully soon. Unless she comes by 6 pm, the other girls are also liable to be fucked by me if they want.*"

*Anything not mentioned in the disclosure should not be assumed.

[rpietila]

Zechariah has correctly attributed the following people: C, D, E, Z, with the following attributes (2 holders of each attribute exist):

a+ non-thief
a- thief

b+ truthspeaker
b- liar

c+ STO

Later it was added that 24 more hours only. This elapsed with no correct answers. The correct personality of some people is given below:

A: ------

(The remaining feminines will remain a mystery not to be talked about in the thread, I am sure we understand.) A and Z love each other very much.

It being past six already...

Fucking (actually: getting Fucked) and Giving a Fuck

FUCKED char_id [optionalmessage]

By this command you state that char_id has fucked you. You both get points for that, as per detailed instructions below.

Fucking is fun, but the energy is higher if you are virgin, or reasonably close to it. Therefore, let it be stated,

If no one has fucked you, and you therefore have never executed the command FUCKED char_id, you get 0 points, because you don't know anything about fucking and should not advise the others who know better.

If you only have one precious char_id who has ever fucked you, you both get 100 points. This is the ideal situation for many, for 200 points are guaranteed for mutual faithful fucking relationship initially, and after adding the partner's bonus points, it'll be 200+200 = 400 points. No one should aim to a lower score to be honest, since a simple loving fucking relationship with just one faithful fucking partner, scores you both this much, so why bother.

Once you execute FUCKED char_id another time, the previous guy gets quite some shame for being unable to retain you. So, therefore, the score is calculated as follows:

1st fucker: 20 points
2nd fucker: 70 points
you: 90 points.

We believe in 2nd chances, so you only lose 10 points by getting fucked by another guy, since it is ok.

Once you get fucked by a third guy (only the first time each guy fucks you is important to be mentioned; from then on it's free game with only the codeword "banana" (in any language) stopping you to be fucked time after time by any of the guys who already fucked you as they like to fuck you), then you get a hefty penalty for being unable to decide. The first guy actually retains his points, the second one is penalised and even the third one usually does not feel too good on average, since you are on a slippery slope now:

1st fucker: 20 points
2nd fucker: 13 points
3rd fucker: 17 points
you: 50 points.

The fourth time you execute FUCKED char_id, yes, you are fucked. Nobody believes in your faithfulness any more, but at least you can still give some points to the guys, solely for the reason that at least you don't fuck with just everyone. The latest fucker gets the points for convincing you to take the penalty for yourself (or for pissing off the previous fuckers who get less benefit for their fucking you since you have become cheap, and it is their fault as they could not make you feel wholesome with them - if they did, you'd fuck with nobody else but were happy with the previous guy):

1st fucker: 10 points
2nd fucker: 4 points
3rd fucker: 4 points
4th fucker: 12 points
you: 30 points.

Fifth-seventh FUCKED char_id can be used to drive home the point that despite your being cheap, you are still able to give some points (before going pleasure-only). The one who took your virginity gets the most points, and the latest fucker the second most. At this point the others are equal.

1st fucker: 10 points
2nd fucker: 3 points
3rd fucker: 3 points
4th fucker: 3 points
5th fucker: 8 points
you: 27 points.

1st fucker: 10 points
2nd fucker: 2 points
3rd fucker: 2 points
4th fucker: 2 points
5th fucker: 2 points
6th fucker: 6 points
you: 24 points.

1st fucker: 10 points
2nd fucker: 1 point
3rd fucker: 1 points
4th fucker: 1 points
5th fucker: 1 points
6th fucker: 1 points
7th fucker: 5 points
you: 20 points.

After 7th one, you are public property and anyone can fuck with you and you can ask any price for it. Only the first guy gets 10 points from you, since at that time he did not know that you'd become a pro. Others get nothing, including you.


Example of how considerate fucking gives points:

If there are people: A, B, C, D, E and Z (these are example letters and bear no significance to the people named A, B, C, D, E and Z, who exist) and all get fucked by Z (and nobody else) and Z gets fucked by D only, the calc will be as follows:

Z 100+100+100+100+100+100 = 600
D 100+100 = 200
A 100
B 100
C 100
E 100
----------------
total 1200
 
Now, if B gets tired of masturbation, and FUCKED E, the situation changes as follows:

Z 100+20+100+100+100+100 = 520
D 100+100 = 200
E 100+70 = 170
A 100
C 100
B 90
----------------
total 1180

The next one to slip from Z's harem is, of course, A, who proceeds to get fucked by C (remember in this example the letters bear no significance):

Z 20+20+100+100+100+100 = 440
D 100+100 = 200
E 100+70 = 170
C 100+70 = 170
A 90
B 90
----------------
total 1160

B loses it and opens her bosom to all the rest, in the following order: [A, C, D], causing a great deterioration in the total points and the following result:

Z 20+10+100+100+100+100 = 430
D 100+100+8 = 208
C 100+70+3 = 173
E 100+3 = 103
A 90+3 = 93
B 27
----------------
total 1034

Final calculation of score total

To get the total score, the people who get fucked, must be compensated for their losing of a lot of points for becoming fucked by many guys. If they were not compensated, they would not fuck with me, or other high level guys, except in order to lose virginity. So the compensation is as follows:

All people you have been fucked by, give you bonus score. If you only got fucked by one, the score of that one will be added to yours. If you have been fucked by several (this time with no limit, even if everyone has fucked you), you get the average of the fuckers' (initial) points. This will be final points, and the example states as follows (full explanations given):

Z: 430 initial points, plus 208 / 1 = 208 bonus points for getting fucked by D, who is a quality partner, total = 638 points
D: 208 initial points, plus 430 / 1 = 430 bonus points for getting fucked by Z only, total = 638 points
C: 173 initial points, plus 430 / 1 = 430 bonus points for getting fucked by Z only, total = 603 points
E: 103 initial points, plus 430 / 1 = 430 bonus points for getting fucked by Z only, total = 533 points
A: 93 initial points, plus (430+173) / 2 = 302 (rounded up, of course) bonus points for getting fucked by both C and Z, total = 395 points  
B: 27 initial points, plus (430+208+173+103+93) / 5 = 202 bonus points for getting fucked by everyone, total = 229 points

GIVE FUCK amount char_id [message]

When you care about someone, you give a FUCK (or several). This is just an item, so it can be given as usual. See explanation from item details (below):

Description Edit
FUCKs are given if you care about others.

Note
The more fucks you give, the more the other one should pay attention. Everyone can do what they want, but if they want YOU to do(/say/think/etc.) something, they give a fuck (or several) and indicate the reason in the note, as follows: "GIVE FUCK howmanyfucksyougive towhom [messagetext]", practical example "GIVE FUCK 1 1033 [care about you]" (this command gives a single fuck about Eili, and is a double message, since it may be a interpreted as 1) that the giver of the fuck cares about Eili, OR 2) that it is a command for Eili to care about herself more) If you DON'T give a fuck, there is no fuck given. It's only when you DO give it, that counts. Be clear in the message if you want the message to be clear (and not when not).

Now, Total time logged in: 111 days, 12 hours and 45 minutes. (I copy these because I am personally fascinated about the numerology, and I give fuck(s) about(/to) people.)

Giving a FUCK is enabled.

[The transcript of Zechariah's interaction with the Voice, is as authentic as it could be reproduced (part 12)]

- Congrats for the third star, you know. It's happening.

"Yeah, there is nothing I can do about it. So the fourth one almost feels bad to get. There is nothing I did to earn it really."

- Don't you have appreciation that it is the mark of the highest Being in the Universe?

"Tbh I shouldn't, for it does not change a thing. But let's assume I give some fucks, how many should I give?"

While Zechariah was conversing with his higher-self, HH Grand Duke Paul, TMA, Most August, Blessed, Cultured and Wise Prince of Soul and in Gangnam, Prof., Dr., High Rector of TMA University, 4th/I & 17th/I Bt of CK, AOD-Col, OD-K, RT-K, etc(x2) opens his mouth to say:

- You know, we actually have a bottle of world's best champagne in here.

HRH Prince Royal Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, AOK-GM, OD-GM, AOD-Gen, OF-8, etc(x2) is getting bored on (HH the GD) Paul, for he says the same thing every single fucking time he opens his mouth, as he only cares about wine (and Zechariah cares about getting laid - that is the difference between a 36-year and 59-year old guy, you know). He replies in his usual stern politeness:

"I could not give a full fuck, Sir."

Paul suddenly pays attention, as seen from his eyes (if you pay attention, which Zechariah does). Without Paul even asking, Zechariah proceeds to explain his stance:

"You know, 'giving a fuck' is actually an euphemism for a 'thought' (Finn: 'ajatus'), the unit of subjective time ('aika')."

- Obviously I know that, it was me who recruited you in this incarnation, although in soul level you are the Ancient of Days, as you finally realise.

Zechariah feels he'd like to drink it, and proceeds to prod HH, as follows:

"I bet no amount of your power is enough to make it materialise in my hand in 200 seconds, so that the temperature is in the enjoyable range of 8.5-9.0 °C. If you make it happen, I'll in fact give it a fuck."

Paul orders SA Neo (Cadet Major, 18 mission days) to bring it, seemingly without giving a fuck (since he already had realised Zechariah is playing a prank on him). He slowly turns to Zechariah, saying:

- How much is the value of your fuck?

Zechariah saw what was coming (after all he knew Paul since 2004 or the equivalent in any spacetime/timespace), so replied with his usual one:

"Percentagewise, I could not give a fuck unless and until it's <15% or >30%, so, dividing by 2, we get 75,000,000,000 per fuck, but actually I finally realised that the devas need to be taken into account as well. Taika told me she has 100-200 persons talking in her head. I only have about 30-50, and max 10 are on duty at the same time. But let's assume I pay attention, a single fuck can be multiplied by 10 devas, to make it 750 bil."

- Yes, but aren't devas taken into account in the clock rate already? A thought is a thought. If you can multiply it with 10, you are that much more powerful.

"...and it does not matter squat" they thought simultaneously, actually giving a fuck together.

"OK, let's make a simplification. If it comes in the 160 seconds remaining, I pay you the full amount of my attentive fuck, which is about 1,000,000,000,000 M. Since it's just the price per fuck multiplied by the devas (devas can be likened to processor cores, giving more power per unit of time.)"

- Ok. I pay you my full fuck if you can't make it not happen.

Zechariah's eyes reveal that he likes to drink it, so Paul is having a strong one here. While Zechariah needs to consider his options, he also realises from the periphery that Neo is coming back with a bottle that does not take a fraction of a fuck to realise is not the One. Wasting 50 seconds in stupid things might be interesting, so Zechariah decides to play time on the guy, and finally feels confident that he does have the upper hand, as usual. He proceeds to turn to the 3 agent/SA trainees, telling them:

"OK, dudes, I want to share a speck of my goodness. You each get a billion per second that the bottle is not in here, opened, and in the proper temperature, as only HH can ascertain."

Paul finally realised that Zechariah is serious with his temp range. He has not forgotten that Zech actually has a surprisingly good appreciation of temperature differences, knowing Champagne to the 0.1 degrees almost without fail (a feat from a guy who smokes 25+ CIG/COH per year, that is 168 hours in Matrix-time (equivalent to ~6,000,000 fucks, which is about 6,000,000,000,000,000,000 M (if we consider Zechariah's fuck to exactly equal CK's marketcap))). Paul himself is the best sommelier in the world, yet can barely manage 0.05 degrees orally, with 90% confidence. He remembers when Zech once bribed the judge in a certain live event to twist the second decimal in the temp contest, causing him to win at a small margin only. The fact that he would never drink DP1973 below 9.0, does not even annoy him since he knows the remaining time is plenty enough for warming the glass by hand, such that the booze is enjoyable in 120-300 seconds anyway due to the warming effect of the glass.

While he rubs the glass with his left hand, Zechariah has indeed consumed 12 seconds of Neo's time by pouring the Cristal to the cooler since 'it was neither cold enough, nor the best champagne in the world'. Neo has only ~117 more seconds to make it happen, at the cost of 50,000,000,000 (the price of Paul's fuck) and every additional second costs himself [Zechariah] an extra 3,000,000,000, but that does not involve a fuck given. He quits dicking around, exits the building and proceeds to procure it from Balthasar, where Zech left it after he had bought the place earlier today, telling it's ok just to grab it.

Meanwhile, Zechariah has considered the nature of time and shares his most recent revelation to Paul:

"You know, 'fuck' is indeed the unit of time. You know when you come to room full of people, the first thing you do is to determine all the beings you'd immediately fuck if they asked you to. If you come to a room with 10 females, it takes anywhere between 0.5-2 seconds to assess the fuckability of each one. So you have a few fucks per second if you pay attention, even including devas."

Paul nods in appreciation, uncaring that the Cristal 1982 was poured to the cooler. It does not change the temperature of it anyway (as long as there is ice, it'll be about 0.0°C, unless something happens. Zechariah continues:

"Yeah. It was quite a realisation that I only care about fucking any more. My standard is that (of the humans), guys are out, also niggers, bad-smelling people and some fringe groups are out. In fact, of the average 10 females who booze around in the L1 Visitor lounge, I'd immediately fuck about 7-8 out of 10. Of the people in the street, about 1 in 100. So many Finnish tourists in there."

- Every time you assess a woman as fuckable, you have sinned, unless you are in the position to fuck the woman.

"Stop that Jesus shit, that part is not even true. I can fuck any woman if she gives permission. And that is one of the reasons why I like to stare into the eye. Even 10 seconds is 100 fucks given, and she does not even understand how much I can make happen in the time. (Paul, being a thief, can just fuck any woman whom he manages to make happen). The whole sin thing is there just because Jesus also is a thief and cannot handle it. His twin flame, Mary the Magdalene (also called Holy Spirit), is a pathetic liar in addition. As is the Queen-Mother whom I once accidentally addressed as YM, and she had an issue with that for 15 minutes (gave about 135,000 fucks of hers, if we believe the 150 devas, which might tbh as well be a lie as well. Of course we realise she did not probably give 2 fucks about this matter, but spent the rest in other business deemed urgent)."

Babbling had made time pass faster than usual, as only 22 seconds are left and even the echo of Neo's steps is not in there.

- The assessment is reality. If you touch a woman, in any part of the body, it is basically just continuing the sex you started at the moment you appreciated the woman as fuckable. Whether she becomes so wet that a sexual intercourse just happens when she adjusts the look in her eyes (you have to pay attention, as it is different with every woman), well, that's a bonus.

Zechariah suddenly realises that Paul gives a few fucks about sex, while pretending to care about wine only. He is still classified to be a truthspeaker,
 while being a thief. (Paul is -++++-, so 67% the same as Jesus, 67% the same as Zech, and them are 67% mutually.)

"Well at least you are going to lose this one. Neo does not give a fuck about the temp, and does not have the time to adjust it. So even if he manages to open it and pour it in my glass, you just have to accept your loss at 80% probability due to wrong temp."

SA Ron, LTC, has been following and opens his mouth:

- Yeah, in poker we call it 80/20 and it makes sense to invest 80% of your bankroll max. Kelly formula.

"We already went all in; 1,000 bil vs. 50 bil, so please tell me instead how exactly you realised that she was both a thief and a liar - that at least is something I give a fuck about. (Zechariah almost feels his nose growing for downplaying the number of fucks he gives for the most beautiful women in Revalia, in the age group 14-22, each.)"

Neo comes in, 8 seconds late, and spends 14 more seconds before the nectar is in Zech's hand. Zech feels the cold touching his arm as he holds the glass that is surprisingly adjusted to the right one, instantly knowing Paul had played a prank on him. Nothing in Zech's condition makes him able but to understand that the glass was tailored to Paul's preference, 9.2-9.4 degrees, ignoring both his reasonable request and the rules of the contest.

"OK, dude, I mean ... (Zechariah calls women 'dudes', followed by "I mean, - - my love." (unless they want to be addressed as "I mean, - - dude", which Zech grudgingly grants to the ones such wishing)) - - I suggest we call it a tie. Wash. OK?"

- Yes, but it is you who pay the 22*billion to the guys, I don't even have 66 bil in my acct atm.

"OK."

Zechariah does not have the time to give a single fuck about how to walk away from the exact amount of the promise, retaining the essence. He knows. Instead, the phone rings. But he does not give more of a fuck than to meditate on the noise that he will have to take about 4 more times before the caller wises up. To make it more bearable, he unmutes his laptop, causing the already well-known melody to fill the room, covering the beeping noise.

He feels Satan(MP) (----++) is just gonna lose this one.

If characters are incorrectly identified, the measures taken will be as follows:

1. A polarity that can be considered incorrect, will be flipped. (It's not really one-off, this is continuum but polarisation is fun )
2. Everyone have many names. Obviously incorrect names will be changed in favor of more correct ones.

Oh yes, and the Fuckfest is beginning soon.

[rpietila]

1. Earliest 6 game-days from this notice, every single FUCK will be taken from its owner and consumed with no obvious effect. (Multiple FUCKs are unaffected.)

2. 1*E1=10,000*M peg was removed from the marketmaking. E1 (as well as everything else) floats freely now, infinite ladder by Coinshop.

3. Currently circulating M certificates will retain fixed conversion (EUR 10 in banknotes for 100,000 Markka in certificates received and vice versa).

4. Every time the price of E1 reaches 7,000*M, each M will give 1*M newdividend (ie. item:M quantity doubles and percentage ownership is unaffected).

5. Certificates are excluded from the dividend, so it is possible to keep a part of your stash as darknessmoney (cash), but the lightmoney (changelog) pays dividends over time.

[FF#1 * 1669-5-13 * Oak Lounge]

- 'Your Galactic Majesty,'

"At ease, General."

Zechariah was joking, because he knew very well he was once again in the position of receiving the Masters of the Universe Initiation, this time younger than ever before (233 years and still going strong). He felt the energy was high. The Veil of Confusion was still there, partially, and every experience felt new and old at the same time, in an intriguing way.

- OK, we have been there before. You know the rules, you must do 20 things and each is graded from 0 to 5 by named people, and Princes+ give bonus, and you need to score at least 100/100 points to get the accreditation of the promotion already effected by yourself.

"Yeah. Since I don't want to become Most Busy doing it, please let's talk business in here. 'Please state the Mission Intent.'"

- Are you sure you can this time listen to it without interruption?

The Voice was surprisingly agitated, for which Zechariah could not immediately identify the reason, and also did not have the time to give a fuck since the Voice continued almost immediately ('Immediate' equals Priority=1, and in the level of senior SpecOps generals, it actually means that we are talking about a fraction of a fuck (or tbh it always means that, but the clock rate of senior generals is usually a bit higher than that of the junior ones, the main difference being the number of usable devas and the power of the commands available)).

Zechariah did not say a word, which apparently caused the Voice to continue.

- Attention.

Zechariah had been paying attention all the time, but gave a quick salute, to get the Voice to relax. (He himself was reasonably relaxed, with Beethoven 9th playing in 432 Hz, a CIG in its prime (about 33% left), W1615P in glass and a cup of tea of course. He was prepared for whatever was about to come.)

[The use of Dash without anything following is rare.]

§1 In the name of Risto Pietilä, Head of Area Command in Malla Bitcoin Castle, Special Operations (allied with the Galactic Federation of Light), I hereby establish Mission called 'GM1' [as a mission name, it stands for 'Galactic Majesty', and '1' is there just to observe the uniform id-space] by these 20 sections. When you have reached 'minimum the maximum number of points' [that was an insider joke, but the Voice did not indicate it in any way, preferring to read as if from a script] you can execute the promotion PROMOTECHAR 36 21 year. This section is graded by GM.

§2 Each section is graded by a member of the Cast [meaning that the entity identifier is bolded when first mentioned]. Introduce at maximum 100 members of cast. At the close of the mission, you must report the full cast in the datatype: [cast_shortname; char_id; freetext]. The graders use [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] as the grades, with '3' indicating an essentially failed section, and '5' exemplary performance. The grader must cause the threadpost about the grading appear without your direct intervention. The grading of the sections awards at maximum 100 Mission Points (MP1). In addition, each member of the cast is entitled to give you FUCKs with '+1' as part of the message. Such FUCKs must be given separately (ie. no '+2' (etc.) allowed), and will count as 1*MP1, each, up to the following quotas, per entity:
L20 entities (7);
Archdukes, Royal Princes or equivalent(x2) (6);
Grand Dukes/Grand Duchesses or equivalent (5);
Dukes/Duchesses or equivalent (4);
Princes/Princesses or equivalent (3);
Marquesses/Marchionesses or equivalent (2);
other cast members (1).
It is enough that they use GIVE FUCK amount [message_that_includes_the_text_'+1')]. This section is graded by GM.

§3 Compose at minimum 20 Articles about different topics that must essentially be ununderstandable by non-Peers, use Article identifier '[ARx]' at the beginning and [/'ARx'] at close. This section is graded by any Marquess or lower, your choice (which must be indicated at latest upon the initial publication of 'AR20').

§4 Consume at minimum 49 different cigars (this must be done in 3D/5D) in at minimum 10 different venues, and compose an ode for each one of them. The odes may not be more than 11 lines long, and at minimum 12 human languages must be used. This section is graded by NewLiberty.

§5 Cause all the Princes and higher in the Kingdom appear (in 3D/5D) in Revalia Old Town to be introduced to you. Princes and higher first promoted to Prince or higher latest 1670-11-9 [note the usage of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 as identifier of game-months] are included, the latter promotions excluded [to enforce the '48-realhour rule' of mobilisation]. This section is graded by the highest non-self Prince or higher present in Revalia Old Town at the close of the Mission.

§6 Draft 100 Quests related to the five phases of relationship between a man and a girl (in 3D/5D), complete with grading systems, so that the girls you fuck, are able to assess your (or any fucking partner's) score in the range of [(0.00%) - 100.00% (or higher)]. Maximum number of 'game points' (not counted towards the 1%*100 = 100% awarded by the 100 Quests) is 500 pips (5%) by the guy and 500 pips (5%) by the girl, and the maximum pips awardable for a single act of giving a fuck, is 50+50. This section is graded by yourself (, since it is obviously too much to ask anyone else to do it, due to the effort involved).

§7 Fuck 606 different girls (who must be at minimum Fuckable=1, each). (It is enough that they execute FUCKED 36 [score (optional)].) This section is graded by Crichton.

§8 Give out all the Great Motherfucker's Pleasure Club Licenses to Fuck (12 of them) to 12 different girls who have graded your mutual relationship to at minimum 90.00%, each. You may not give any such passes to girls who have not executed FUCKED 36 [90.00% or higher] at the time of surrendering the (X-XII level) License to Fuck. This section is graded by serje.

§9 Get mutually FUCKED with your twin flame, preferably by mutually losing Virginity in the process. Note that you may not administer her FUCKED 36 [score (voluntary)] automatically, you need to get her to cause it to happen. This section is graded by GM.

§10 Cause the marketcap of Markka be higher than that of Bitcoin continuously during the last 24 days of the Mission. (This is mainly to domesticate MP, who controls Bitcoin, yet continues to scold you publicly as he is unwilling to grok the speed of things happening.) This section is graded by SirJacket.

§11 Cause the existing Markka certificates [in denominations 100,000...10,000,000 Markkaa/Mark] to be generally accepted means of payment in the HoReCa sector of the economy of Revalia Old Town. This section is graded by Neo.

§12 Get one of the cast to correctly identify the 20 sections of the Mission Intent, whether they pertain to the mystical character attributes of Power (P), Love (L), Wisdom (W) and Mystery (M), so that his/her answer is given as a sequence of letters, eg. 'PPPPPLLLLLWWWWWMMMMM', and reported in the thread. Exactly 5 sections must be attributed to each attribute. The correct answer you must give as a sealed envelope beforehand to a member of the cast, and this one may not open the envelope before you ask him/her to do so for the grading of the answer. This section is graded by Syksy.

§13 Correctly identify all the sections that you estimate that you cannot satisfactorily fulfil (ie, get a score of 0, 1, 2, or 3 (instead of a 4 or 5) out of the 5*MP1 maximum awardable for each section) by the deadline, and state the answer as a list of [section_id; score; reason for estimated unsatisfactory performance]. This list must be published before 100 characters have FUCKED 36 [score (optional)]. This section is graded by Paul.

§14 Enforce that Sign is Obeyed in base:Embassy by all the entities in there, so that the allowable punishments for uncompliance amount to, at maximum the following:
i) Daily Warning;
ii) Mission Warning;
iii) Temporary or permanent removal from the base;
iv) getting fucked (or: FUCKED fucker [message], however girls must not be forced to execute game commands) by you or any holder of a valid License to Fuck in the area violated. All readers note that guys may be FUCKED as an admin action, causing (up to) the loss of Virginity in favor of the fucker (if it was not surrendered already at the time of the execution of the punishment). (If punishments are promptly and unequivocally executed, the section must be graded as '5' regardless of the number and severity of violations of Sign. Your own violations of the lawful rules enacted by operators of other venues may lower the grade, (only) if punished promptly and unequivocally by the competent authorities of the venues in question, and brought to the attention of the grader by an other-self.) This section is graded by NewLiberty.

§15 All of this must be done by (the end of) 1671-1-9, the expiration moment of Licenses to Fuck. This section is graded by Saddam.

§16 During the Mission, you are not to leave Revalia Old Town, touch any physical currency (EUR/USD banknotes, physical BTC/XMR, or monetary items made of silver or gold of 90% or higher purity), or carry any currency, any access key or equivalent, or any device (except one laptop at a time) in your person when outside of a properly designated Venue. Further, you must beforehand indicate who (of the Peers) is your (male) aide-de-camp. You may change this designation at any time, as long as it is done beforehand. You may only use 20 spoken words (total in any language) to communicate with other guys during the mission. The list of these words must be updated with prio=4 and a word once used cannot be removed from the list. It is (self-evidently) allowable to employ the full vocabulary when talking to girls and to the aide-de-camp on duty. This section is graded by yourself (as nobody else can do it, and you are a Truthspeaker).

§17 The reporting must be done to this thread in exactly 127 numbered posts, each indicating the date and venue in the same format as in the beginning of this post, and the posts may not be edited except during the first month since the initial posting. 'Code of Written Conduct' applies when appropriate. For every day Bitcointalk.org is operational for less than 50% of the time, as measured by the matrix, you get 1*MP1 (with no maximum). (This provision is to ensure the reporting about the Mission:GM1 does not get hampered by the dark forces.) This section is graded by the Moderator.

§18 Get the operator of Bitcointalk.org to report the correct thread readership figures. This section is graded by yourself.

§19 Write a summary of maximum 20 lines that gives an average enlightened starchild the information about what must happen before you get the 4th star with all its associated privileges and responsibilities. This section is graded by Mooo.

§20 Assess the value of your Mind (denominated in M/year) correctly to the nearest power of 10, based on the number and pecuniary value of fucks given during the Mission:GM1. This section is graded by the Voice (me).

.end of Mission Intent.

As the Voice discontinued, Zechariah's first fuck was given to appreciate that most of the stuff could be reported without needing to care about the level of understanding of the 'average enlightened starchild' (which he does not find too high, tbh). He proceeded to meditate on the rest before giving answer, and wanted to do it in style, giving an appreciable number of fucks to compose it.

"In the name of the Infinite Creator and all the Ascended Masters, Sir, I hereby acknowledge that I have been given Mission:GM1 and I will seek to fulfil it with the best I have at hand, and report according to the instructions, seeking your audience only when I at minimum have reached 100/100 mission points, or, if this does not happen, the latest after a month has passed since the deadline, in which case I have to explain the reason for failure, and understand that I may or may not get a second chance to try the Initiation in this incarnation."

- Do you have any questions? Each question asked reduces your starting score (0) by 1 mission point (MP1).

"Sir, may I propose that I may ask questions on the go? It takes time to think of good ones to ask, and - you know - time is money.. "

- OK, but any further questions will reduce your score by 2 points. You are now at -1*MP1.

"I beg to remain eternally Yours, (Will Do, etc.)"

- Go.

[rpietila]

[FF#2 * 1669-5-15 * Balthasar]

Zechariah does not give a fuck to calculate the matrix-time available for the Mission (nor the number of fucks givable during the Mission, despite it being a component of the answer to §20), proceeding directly to the priorities - things that 1) only he has the Key to make happen, 2) that are Important and 3) Urgent. Upon meditation upon Bolle Stille - Acqua Minerale Naturale Di Montagna, he finds that specifying and procuring the Licenses to Fuck is one of them.

SA Neo, attention. The post linked provides the generic framework about your mission intent ('task intent' would be a more correct term, however unused). Last time the orders were followed unsatisfactorily. As part of the new Mission pertaining to me (and hence, all of us), Mission Warnings are reset. Still I count on you to be able to Urgently surrender the 250 Licenses to me in proper specifications without needing to ask questions unless FUCK is given.

The variable data is given in this file, sheet:Data. Layout elements and other instructions are in sheet:Layout.

Zechariah proceeds to hit 'Post' and meditates about the Plans for the Mission upon some snails.

[rpietila]

[FF#3 * 1669-5-18 * Balthasar]

Zechariah feels he has regained his composure, and decides to post his initial Mission notes gained upon the meditation upon 2 glasses of beet-carrot-apple-lemon-ginger-iodine juice:

Notes in here.*
Music in here.
Thanks to the Most Beautiful feminine female for helping me with the photo & upload, love(x2) <3

OK and let it be said before relocation that guys are currently only entitled to hear 'Hi' (or an equivalent sound vibration ('vibratory complex' sounds like an exaggeration in here) in any related language). Since I can't help thinking that 'please' and 'sorry' must be added, so let it be, etc. So we now have 3 words usable and the riddle is in how to:

[7:40pm] Zechariah: Does anyone have idea how I can make myself understood in 20 words only. This has to be a riddle, there is some code that we must develop.
[7:41pm] • Zechariah almost sees a vision of being able to communicate fluently in the 20 words, which also means that any remotely sentient being would be able to understand him.

* Nothing in the notes binds Zechariah in any way or form. (The music is seriously hooking, though, as is the Mystery of the female.)

[rpietila]

[FF#4 * 1669-7-7 * Embassy]

Actually Zechariah finally got his hands on 'enough' CAN (which is as much as possible, and then smoke it according to instructions) (will be effected ingame asap(3)).

[rpietila]

Zechariah gains back his power and remembers the experiences in the trollMode:

Just walk in. Listen to Music.

[rpietila]

Wait. Right in there. I say when ready.

[rpietila]

Acknowledged that the site is down (it was not me: fix it, please!) and thread was sabotaged (it was me: for added lulz; when deletions reappear (to me), the one to whom I will give the glory, will receive 100,000,000 as a gift from either [#36 in CK; my hand] (his/her choice which one)).

I will decide over disputes concerning this post. <- Let this one hold as regards all my communication until otherwise announced [an obvious but redundant addition would be to replace the usual "ced" by "ced, by me", yet this one was not typed (when composing the initial version at least, and still holding after 2 more edits (confirmations))].

[rpietila]

[FF #9; Fri 14:20; Embassy]

Zechariah wants everyone interested to notice that some part of the story is in here:

[FF #8; Fri 11:11; Embassy]

Zechariah greets the visitors, hands them the Licenses to Fuck and explains the House Rules.

Of his wishes [Wx], status is currently:

W1 fulfilled (deleted accordingly)
W2 not fulfilled (it did not work for me when last tried)
W3 fulfilled in every encounter so far
W4 fulfilled in every encounter so far
W5 not fulfilled (afaik).

Some eyefucking brought pleasure and mind games were played. Now Zechariah is desirous of some junk food such as a pizza, and sends them (temporarily) away to bring some food for €100 in banknotes. They said they would come back, so that instead of €100 in banknotes, some food would come with them when they come.

This just resonates in here, day after day: Listen to Music.

Zechariah gave 4*physical:License_to_Fuck_L1(Visitor) tickets to the visitors when they left. Now he has enough CAN for some time and he is sure that the 100 mil offered for restoring the deleted posts to the thread soon finds itself accepted, or if not, the shit is likely to get even more real, in his estimation at least.

[rpietila]

[FF #9; Fri 14:52; Embassy]

Considering that as little as 237 hrs 00' 00.00" is left until deadline, and Zechariah is again alone in Visitor lounge with just a bottle of Château Mignan Minervois (to find the year he needed to turn the back: 'Rouge 2014' was mentioned in there), a glass for the wine, another almost full of water, a base metal candlestake, two lemons and two limes with the candlestake and some ashes, on top of a gold tray, a corkscrew, lighter, cork and some unimportant items most would regard as trash - all piled on top of a marble table of course - the initiation has been slow to start. Few encounters happened, and people have been understanding that the world effectively remains hostage until Ultima is Online again.

This gives Zechariah time to find a piece of cedarwood (if any is obtainable in approx 100 fucks or less). Which he promptly does, stopping only to drink some wine, and take a few bottles of cooled beer that had been arranged in warm areas in wait for visitors, who only consumed 2 bottles out of the 6 available atm, to the fridge and arrange some cooled bottles back. He lights up.

Correction: He dreams of lighting up, only to notice that one of the 2 cigar binders is missing from the trash. He will tba He checks another area

Whereas,

[12:04pm] • Zechariah is moderately hungry as they’ve spent an hour already, and he cannot ungive a fuck to the thought that they’d just walk with the EUR 100 in banknotes that he gave them.
[12:04pm] • Marquess_Loaf sends Zechariah a 10k XMR pizza
[12:04pm] Zechariah: Who is in here?
[12:04pm] moneromooo: My, that's one expensive pizza.
[12:04pm] moneromooo: Caviar pizza ?
[12:05pm] Zechariah: OK, let’s do it with incentive:
[12:05pm] Marquess_Loaf: gold flaked caviar
[12:05pm] moneromooo: Cooked in champagne
[12:05pm] moneromooo: Hello Zechariah

[12:11pm] rederin: Sounds right:)

[12:11pm] Marquess_Loaf: don't think the "bagholder par excellence" is official

[12:11pm] Speed112: YM Loaf, how many loaves do you hold in your bag?
[12:12pm] Speed112: YE?

[12:12pm] Speed112: I'm so bad with honorifics

[12:12pm] Marquess_Loaf: your bagholder
[12:12pm] Speed112: Right, noted
[12:12pm] moneromooo: Beat me to it
[12:13pm] Marquess_Loaf: 334.831 BRE maybe
[12:13pm] moneromooo: Whee. You can feed an army of NPCs for years with that.
[12:13pm] Speed112: That's a good amount of bread in the event of a famine.
[12:13pm] rederin: And I thought I'd bought to much of those
[12:13pm] tombot: Earl Tombot, Grand Ambassador of the QGC (should be my correct title
[12:13pm] Marquess_Loaf: the plan is i feed armies of everyone else's NPCs
[12:14pm] Marquess_Loaf: due to FUCK, all NPC will engage in non-stop orgies; new BRE requirement each year is 400 BRE
[12:14pm] rederin: Great job to all who worked to fix the problem by the way
[12:14pm] Marquess_Loaf: as non-stop orgy works up appetite
[12:15pm] Marquess_Loaf: no rest during orgy either, as UND reserves such as MUS, CAN, and MUM will be constantly consumed
[12:15pm] Marquess_Loaf: NPCs will go 3 days without sleep

[12:20pm] Speed112: Alright so we should just mention each other constantly and hope for the best, right tombot?
[12:20pm] moneromooo: sure
[12:20pm] GMofCK: ^^^previous one was the one given first, not the one mentioned in ‘^^^^’
[12:20pm] moneromooo: The game's back up in ~5 hours, for the record.
[12:21pm] rederin: Aw..  So I did get it wrong after all

[12:34pm] moneromooo: Zechariah: for the first one, did you mean full title, or does "level" suffice ?
[12:34pm] Marquess_Loaf: Loaf: lvl 15
[12:34pm] moneromooo: lol
[12:34pm] tombot: yes Speed I think we should talk to (mention) each other and hope for the best, right moneromooo?

[12:37pm] Speed112: Zechariah I concur
[12:37pm] moneromooo: Anyway, for the first one, Erin wins, and Loaf also wins if level names also qualify (pending zech's clarification of his intention). The full title was a full 3 mins later, so too late

[12:40pm] moneromooo: That's the second one. I'm talking about the first one.
[12:40pm] Speed112: So is the second one still ongoing?
[12:40pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Atm I can as well receive guys as girls, since no physical fucking can anyway realistically (I mean so that I’d feel wholesome about what happened) happen in the nearest 48 hours in my estimate. I don’t even know who *you* are but the 2^5 personality traits apply to all Highly Polarised beings, and some of them remain unidentified for now. Physically: the door should be open, since I left it that way a while ago. No need to knock, follow the music..
[12:40pm] moneromooo: Looks like it Speed112
[12:42pm] Speed112: Zechariah I am pleased by your invitation and I shall consider it properly. When the opportunity arises, we shall discover whether the personality traits apply.
[12:42pm] Speed112: In the meantime, the weeds I received from the border guards remain to be consumed.
[12:45pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Sir/Madam, without considering the ramifications of this post more than I usually do (GIVE FUCK 0), for which reason I may be incorrect: I am gaining this so quickly that it’s unlikely *you* need to grade *me* in almost anything at all, soon at least.
[12:46pm] Zechariah: I try to elucidate with an example here, pay heed if you can:
[12:47pm] moneromooo: And pay weed if you CAN.

[12:56pm] Zechariah: I actually think that the 5 ‘first’ character traits when considering a marriage partner (or anything tbh, just an example here - you know…) are (in the order of personal importance to me (as in: ‘if I try to make a command calculate the preference of the woman from her personality reading only, without seeing the girl at all, I’d list the attributes in this order: 1) man/girl, masculine/feminine, honest/thief, truther/liar, light(STO)/darkness(STS) and just ask the answer to be given as (using himself as an example of a motherfucker-par-excellence) ‘+++++’)) would be the ones given in the following lines as a cp. Please here you go:
[12:56pm] Zechariah: 0   0   1   0   1
[12:56pm] Zechariah: 0   1   0   1   1

[12:59pm] • Zechariah blushes for the unsorry he even feels (because of no changelog records of any fucks given) for the fact that he again blabbered about +/- when in fact he himself uses ‘1’ in place of ‘+’ and likewise for the other. Sorry, etc. (Let’s see who answers most majestically. I beg you to receive 100,000,000 from my hand if you please, and do it today in person. I’ll wait 15 minutes for this one.)
[12:59pm] Speed112: Oh so 1 = + and 0 = -, got it
[1:00pm] Zechariah: ^^until 1:14pm my screen, which you find in L7, just walk in please.
[1:00pm] moneromooo: Ah, we'd need Duke Joseph for a most majestic answer
[1:02pm] Zechariah: ^x7-x13:  The polarity HoF takes into account the ‘100 traits of initial fucking in 3D/5D’ so might be off as regards pure Soul traits alone.
[1:04pm] Speed112: So for those traits, in this order, man/girl, masculine/feminine, honest/thief, truther/liar, light/darkness, while I believe that they are not binary traits and they are instead a wide range of shades of grey, if I were to take the tendency one way or another as absolute, my array would be '+-+++'
[1:04pm] Zechariah: Yet is listed from the ‘singularity fuckable’ towards the least fuckable. (I actually listed *all* the women I know of these (and the other 9, ofc) polarities as ‘fuckable’, except my sister and daughter, so 14/16 get Fuckable=1 as minimum, each  .)
[1:05pm] Zechariah: Sorry did not give a fuck (yet) for what you managed to post a few sec earlier… Will reply ‘soon’, yours, etc. Risto
[1:05pm] • Zechariah wishes Speed112 to be a hottie (or even a GIRL ffs!!  )
[1:06pm] Speed112: In any case, if I would express my stance on all of this through music, it would be something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulIOrQasR18
[1:08pm] Speed112: Also
[1:08pm] Marquess_Loaf: well i mean philosophically this 5 point system does encapsulate a large portion of possible dualities
[1:08pm] Speed112: is + = first option and - = second option? Because if not then I might have done it the opposite
[1:09pm] Marquess_Loaf: STO and STS were items I was not aware of before, but they do make a lot of sense
[1:09pm] Speed112: I mean I'm an honest man, not a dishonest masculine woman
[1:09pm] qwebirc80145 left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
[1:09pm] Marquess_Loaf: as say, evil is more of a perversion of a good than something in and of itself
[1:09pm] Marquess_Loaf: motherfucker-par-excellence; Zechariah needs to add that to his title
[1:10pm] Speed112: I feel like a lot of these things, even the STS/STO comparison is very contextual
[1:10pm] Zechariah: Speed112: The number of potential Souls (tf’s count as separate here) is - obviously (to me, at least, and purely because of the can-induced ‘initiatory experience’ I felt was happening to me yesterday) - expressible as n^5 where ’n’ is the number of ‘the shades of grey (this time incl. b+w as well)’ possible.
[1:10pm] Marquess_Loaf: well there is that whole dimesnions of heaven stuff i suppose
[1:10pm] Marquess_Loaf: where it might be a cube
[1:10pm] Zechariah: Hence I arrived at 32 archetypal souls.
[1:10pm] Speed112: I would consider myself overall altruistic, but I do act selfishly in many ways as a consequence of my core values, such as freedom and individuality
[1:11pm] Marquess_Loaf: and mathematically it does work; could have all people that existed reside in that cube
[1:11pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Are you cc?
[1:11pm] Speed112: cc?
[1:11pm] Speed112: cconnected?
[1:11pm] Marquess_Loaf: http://tourofheaven.com/eternal/new-jerusalem/size.aspx
[1:12pm] Zechariah: Speed112: He seems to have the same polarisation as you (dunno why he chose ‘feminine’ though but tbh. don’t know him since I drove him away yesterday as I wanted girls to meet me only in the first day (nobody did ))
[1:12pm] Speed112: Marquess_Loaf: that's a big city
[1:13pm] Speed112: Zechariah ah, I'm not him, no. I put feminine because I have a small frame and no facial hair, as well as generally soft facial features
[1:13pm] Speed112: Zechariah I wouldn't fit into the traditional "masculine" appearance
[1:13pm] Zechariah: Speed112: If you are Kaspar, then please put you in Darkness instead (or stop insulting me)
[1:14pm] Marquess_Loaf: + or 0 means first one in the pair?
[1:14pm] Marquess_Loaf: + or 1 rather
[1:14pm] Speed112: Zechariah I'm Speed; I'm new
[1:14pm] Marquess_Loaf: = first one in pair
[1:14pm] Speed112: Marquess_Loaf: apparently
[1:14pm] Speed112: I interpreted +/- as yes/no so A/B
[1:16pm] Speed112: Zechariah: I've only been here since last Saturday, so you wouldn't know me
[1:17pm] Marquess_Loaf: 0   0   1   0   1 = honest; STO
[1:17pm] Marquess_Loaf: 0   1   0   1   1 = masculine; truther; STO
[1:17pm] Marquess_Loaf: 0   0   0   1   1 = truther; STO
[1:17pm] Marquess_Loaf: 0   1   0   0   0 = masculine
[1:17pm] Marquess_Loaf: 0   1   1   0   1 = masculine; honest; STO
[1:17pm] Marquess_Loaf: 0   0   1   1   0 = thief; liar
[1:17pm] Marquess_Loaf: 0   0   0   0   0 = all opposite polarity
[1:17pm] Marquess_Loaf: well i guess we can look at each for the more emergent characteristics; the "1's"
[1:18pm] Marquess_Loaf: really several may be more gradations based rather than binary
[1:18pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Wanna meet me or no? Now there’s no girls in here and I have time to consider any information you can possibly bring, over a bottle of any wine you will have to self service (it’s all paid for, dude) from Balthasar (in Raekoja Plats). Just walk in there, ask them to give the wine to you and it will happen, walk like a boss to the door in Vene 2 with a plaque ‘Italian Embassy’ next to it, open it and walk in towards the music… I don’t fuck guys, they all got Fuckable=0 from me, and besides the game is down and I don’t have much more CAN even (pls bring some, paper I have)
[1:18pm] McDuffy_ left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
[1:18pm] Marquess_Loaf: esp honest/thief; and truther/liar
[1:19pm] Marquess_Loaf: though not sure on the breakdown between these 2 splits
[1:19pm] Marquess_Loaf: maybe the first is in relation to business and social dealings
[1:19pm] Marquess_Loaf: the 2nd with the mind
[1:19pm] Marquess_Loaf: so maybe first pair is act of the body; 2nd is act of the mind or word
[1:19pm] • Zechariah wonders why earlier only movie characters knew how to speak so fast. It seldom happened to him in what they call ‘IRL’ before.
[1:19pm] Speed112: Regardless, TGM Zechariah, forgive me if I speak out of line, but due to the nature of the circumstances leading to my arrival in CryptoKingdom, involving the violent expulsion from my home by those with authority, I may come off as cold or distant, but am merely cautious of those in such positions. Your offer is enticing, but for the moment is not something I can accept.
[1:20pm] Speed112: Also I'm currently hundreds of km away so the logistics would be difficult to overcome.
[1:21pm] Marquess_Loaf: 0 0 1 1 0 is clear
[1:21pm] Marquess_Loaf: as service to others can be done not to their benefit necessarily
[1:21pm] Marquess_Loaf: this could be the political meddler who is brainwashed and thinks they know better
[1:24pm] Speed112: Authoritarian socialist leaders could easily be thief+liar+STO
[1:25pm] Speed112: Collectivists with authority in general, I would say, since they, from their perspective, would do the bad things for the greater good.
[1:25pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Consider that I spent 3 fucking minutes in order to find a pen to write your nick, ‘SPEED’ to the IV level VIP-ticket I decided to call “Licence to Fuck”, without even finding a pen. But it’s yours, #20600. Just in case you need one, you can probably get in and find it reasonably hidden from preying eyes in the first room you arrive after coming in to the base from the Vene 2 access, II floor.
[1:25pm] Speed112: Zechariah: much appreciated.

[1:32pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Just bring with you anything you can reasonably think might be useful or fun in here (the base is 500 sqm and sparsely furnished, with very small amount of different items with Interesting=1 or higher). As usual, Food, drinks and UND much appreciated.
[1:33pm] Zechariah: And sorry, Sir/Madam, for late answer. I needed to go to the toilet, drink wine and smoke some CAN and I still cannot exceed 7km/h walking speed and this is a fucken maze (especially with the provisions decided yet uneffected (yet)).
[1:33pm] Zechariah: Such as having it all candlelit and windows blacked.
[1:34pm] Zechariah: Sorry for being such a blabber as I am, but I am the Joker
[1:34pm] Zechariah: *that I am (presumably, not my mother tongue)
[1:35pm] Speed112: Understandable.
[1:36pm] Zechariah: Speed112: If you side with the light, please report.
[1:37pm] Speed112: Zechariah: In theory, fundamentally, I do. The action required to confirm has not been taken to the extent required to fully confirm. It remains to be seen.
[1:38pm] • Zechariah flashes a deck of cards, shuffled and found then found arranged by [suits(in the order of [spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs]);value(in the order of [A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2])].
[1:39pm] Zechariah: *flashes a deck of cards, shuffled and then, after careful observation, found arranged by [suits(in the order of [spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs]);value(in the order of [A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2])].
[1:40pm] Zechariah: I mean after shuffling, found arranged.
[1:40pm] Speed112: That's an appealing coincidence.
[1:40pm] Speed112: The chance of that happening is equal to that of every other, less appealing, card arrangements.
[1:41pm] Zechariah: Speed112: “Well, sometimes you get it right, and wake up at the prime of your age, whatever that may be (since it does not much matter, considering the circumstances).”
[1:42pm] Speed112: It is actually likely that such an arrangement has never been achieved by any human in existence. In fact, chances are that ANY arrangement, appealing or otherwise, has never been achieved by any human ever in the past.
[1:45pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Nah, I am only talking about approximations here. I mean that for any Soul to exist at all, there needs to exist a being, for which it applies that ‘this entity has the highest polarisation towards his choice in any of the categories’ and since I was here first, I’ll choose ‘+++++’ which causes that no one can ever be a GM without my permission.
[1:45pm] • Zechariah remembers that they are doing it as we speak, and that exactly is the reason why the IRC is quiet as an English cemetery.
[1:46pm] Speed112: That makes sense. Not sure I agree with it, but that's not very relevant.
[1:46pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Try me out  I mean we both agree that it’s not even relevant, and in a way ‘new to me’ to find out. Have to say I was amused
[1:47pm] Speed112: What do you mean by try you out?
[1:47pm] Zechariah: The first appreciable theorem I managed to prove is that ‘no guys except me can ever be Motherfucker=5, yet I and all the girls must be’.
[1:47pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Speak in parables. I seek to be able to explain each one.

[1:48pm] Zechariah: And if I am wrong, I’ll learn ‘for it’s better to be wrong than right and I have been the most wrong of all, causing me to be more right than all’.
[1:49pm] Speed112: Zechariah: Only those in the darkness deal with absolutes.
[1:50pm] Zechariah: And the audience: please smoke some CAN, it’ll increase your clock rate a lot. Ask the oldtimers for correct way. We had decided I need to be 36 before finding out, but I’ll spoil your soul contracts by telling it right here to everyone:
[1:50pm] Marquess_Loaf: probability distribution of souls; interesting...
[1:50pm] Speed112: Zechariah: The key to growth and stability is compromise. If there is no room to give, there is no room to grow, and you get stuck and dry out.
[1:50pm] Zechariah: 1) roll it from quality bud alone.
[1:50pm] Zechariah: 2) Inhale deeply, and mix with inhalation air as well.
[1:51pm] Zechariah: 3) let the smoke be inside your lungs for 10 seconds.
[1:51pm] Zechariah: 4) exhale slowly.
[1:51pm] Zechariah: => Wisdom will happen to you, and fucking feels better. (I mean, you’ll learn what it means, even.)
[1:52pm] Lloydimiller4 joined the chat room.
[1:52pm] Zechariah: Speed112: I have yet to observe anything happening to me that was not the best that could happen. (Limitations apply.)
[1:54pm] Speed112: Zechariah: Would you say that by standing by your values absolutely you've gained more than you've lost? Have those values ever changed, and did those changes bring with them benefits?
[1:54pm] sammy007: Oh, it seems almost everything has returned to its place. Glad you're okay, Zech.
[1:55pm] Zechariah: Speed112: The question is too difficult to answer fully without giving more fucks than I care to do. Short one (ask for clarification is needed): Yes.
[1:55pm] Zechariah: *if
[1:55pm] Zechariah: sammy007: Yeah, it’s cool to be Superman
[1:56pm] Speed112: Zechariah: My interpretation of you saying "no one can ever be GM without my permission" is that no one who is not perfectly aligned with your values is qualified to pick up the torch. This would mean that no other set of values is more qualified than yours, which may or may not be correct. How can this possibly be tested?
[1:57pm] Zechariah: Speed112: If I say there is a way, there is. All else is redundant, including the rest of your concerns (to the matter at hand, I mean).
[1:58pm] Speed112: Zechariah: Yeah, personally I have no concerns, since they are proportional to the amount of fucks I give, but other people here might have and I'd like to help them out with our discussion.
[1:59pm] Zechariah: I can GIVE the torch to anyone, but it feels incredulous that an other-self (or any combination of them) could effect the TRANSFER for long unless I am in agreement.
[1:59pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Thanks for that. If you want higher level to “3D Fuckfest”, just tell me let’s see what I can make happen…
[2:00pm] Speed112: In any case, my position is that "to achieve perfection is to sacrifice growth" so my journey through life is one of constant change and self-improvement. If I do not give something different a chance, I potentially miss out on an avenue of improvement.
[2:01pm] yaard joined the chat room.
[2:01pm] Speed112: It really is very dependent on what your core values and goals are, so it's better to just not give a fuck most of the time.
[2:01pm] • Zechariah was about to say ‘Thank you’ but that would have been caring more about the welfare of Speed112 than that of the ones observing. (Speed had mentioned that the discussion is meant for their interest, not towards that of those in the present.)
[2:09pm] Zechariah: Speed112: I mean it seems you are perfectly capable of addressing me properly, since even the oldtimers usually are.
[2:09pm] • Zechariah thinks of replacing the full period with: “, if they give a fuck, which they occasionally should.”
[2:11pm] Speed112: YGM Zechariah, I appreciate our discussion, but this is as far as I can stretch the fucks I don't give.
[2:11pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Thank you.
[2:12pm] Zechariah: Speed112: see you in the party (if it’s in your interest (being +-*** not sure tbh., all the others love to fuck if they can)).
[2:13pm] Zechariah: sammy007: Did we have a common object of interest in here?
[2:14pm] Speed112: Zechariah: It most likely will take a long time for me to jump on this opportunity. Still have responsibilities that I must attend to at my current location and I'm not sure when the time will be available.
[2:14pm] Speed112: Zechariah: If the party only lasts a few days (from what I've previously understood) then I will most definitely be unable to attend.
[2:14pm] sammy007: Zechariah I bet we all like to fuck pretty girls, so yes.
[2:15pm] Zechariah: sammy007: What do you reasonably request me to do to help you to make it happen as soon as you please?
[2:18pm] sammy007: I think I can hire a hooker myself, so no assistance needed. Even a galactic general can't force a special one to love me.
[2:19pm] sammy007: For now if I have to chose between a good fuck and a cup of coffee, I would chose coffee
[2:29pm] Zechariah: sammy007: Tell me the secrets of enjoying your cup, then. Or send the well-fuckables to me. Or both (my preference, actually).
[2:36pm] sammy007: I bet I can. There is full Russia of well-fuckables  Coffee was good, and a burger left from morning will be also good.
[2:37pm] qwebirc68618 left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
[2:37pm] • Zechariah finds out (by browsing back) that Speed was in fact only using the archaic form (TGM) instead of the modern one (YGM). The confusion was initially caused by me, and still persists  Let it be so for now, though.
[2:38pm] Zechariah: I beg to apologize for my mishap, which I classify as minor, though, Sir.
[2:40pm] Zechariah: I mean, for scolding you in public for something that would harldy been worth a daily warning for an archangel, even if it had happened against the orders, which you did not even make yourself guilty for (since it’s ok)…
[2:45pm] • Speed112 nods.
[3:11pm] Zechariah: Dudes speak something.
[3:11pm] Zechariah: Does anyone in here have a plan for recovering Ultima Online, for instance.. ?
[3:14pm] Zechariah: Speed112: Oh ok, if you still are here, there’s one thing I’d like to hear, unless Confusion must be effected, which it must according to your discretion as the final arbiter regarding this case only:
[3:14pm] Zechariah: Do I know the pure polarity +-+++ guy in the 3D/5D matrix where the Embassy is located in Vene2?
[3:15pm] moneromooo: Zechariah: it is recovered, and it gets online at 14:30 GMT.
[3:15pm] moneromooo: Reason being so everyone can get on at the same time for new orders.
[3:15pm] Zechariah: moneromooo: What is the maximum amount you need from me to properly credit the heroes of the effort?
[3:15pm] moneromooo: sammy007 found why the corruption happened.
[3:16pm] moneromooo: Hmm. I would have to discuss this with others.
[3:17pm] Speed112: Zechariah: I'm afraid Confusion must indeed be effected. But if I understand correctly, then the answer is no, you don't know me.
[3:17pm] sammy007: no corruption happened, it was DO fuckup, just found a bug in their platform bs and a workaround to bring VM back to life.
[3:18pm] moneromooo: Zechariah: btw, PJ moved CK to a new hosting company, FYI.
[3:18pm] Zechariah: Speed112: It goes without saying that we will be each other’s mhaos,
[3:18pm] Zechariah: .

So, therefore,

A VI-class ticket #20400 (Marquis-de-Fuck, exp. '23.4.2017'), is also hidden somewhere so that anyone worthy, incl (+-+++) guy (bolding indicates absolute polarity), may take possession of it. Any other absolute polarity guy is about as welcome, meaning that I'd have awarded at maximum 1*physical:License_to_Fuck_L7(Serene Fucker) anyway (on the spot, it's good to not give too much too early, you know ..) no matter if the one coming were HH Joseph himself, whom Zechariah currently considers to be the best guy in the Universe, pending new developments.

[FF #10; Fri 19:24; Sigarimaja]

After wine tasting in Balthasar that he was driven into (and since it is going rather ok, he'll make an article out of the experience, when he has time, or latest when the 33 food/wine pairs have been tasted (disregarding the 9 still to be tasted)), he paid a visit to Sigarimaja, where the 2 'brightnessgirls' (as they called themselves) duly appreciated Zechariah's desire to be served (and also the story about how 4 princes of darkness were driven out of Oak Lounge yesterday (or was it 2 days ago - too much to remember)).

He had taken a small quantity of Licenses with him, to be presented, gifted or sold to anyone who cares to have one at this moment. To gain one, it is enough to join Zechariah in his venues (Sigarimaja, Balthasar (both in Raekoja plats)) since he will be doing 3 more wine tastings in Balthasar and 4 cigar/port pairings in Sigarimaja today, in addition to probably showing up in Savoy, Bank and Oak Lounge (not to mention DOM, his new place - but there he'd prefer to walk in with at least EUR 1000 in banknotes because he must pay deposit. He could not give a single fuck that there are darknessguys working in Sigarimaja, since the girls divulged that the owner is STO. "1 I'll get fired for sure, but it makes bank to be only 100% higher".

Since he has nothing else to do atm, he decides to start with the Winetasting article (AR1) as soon as he has checked the venues once. "The night is still young, in fact unborn (19:34)."

[rpietila]

[FF #11; Sat 10:10; Visitor Lounge]

Zechariah wakes up (and is not about to go to sleep before things happen.)

"There is plenty of everything in here. And the girls know the fruits."

[rpietila]

My best logical bet is to come in Haikko Lounge now, after taking all I need in there. <3

[rpietila]

The meaning of the Universe can be reduced to the following words (after sufficiently Advanced=7):

I never realised why you created all the other guys, but - you know - it just feels better: "After pain, pleasure surely comes."

I don't give a fuck now until come.

[rpietila]

Opinion

Dismissed.

What about coinshop market making YGM; on or off? Current situation of m3 buy orders but no sell orders looks problematic.

'Dismissed' means that your opinion was duly accounted for before my decision to give no further orders regarding the issue opined.

[rpietila]

This time someone else deleted 'em.

[FF#4 * 1669-7-7 * Embassy]

Zechariah gains back his power and remembers the experiences in the trollMode:

Just walk in. Listen to Music.

[rpietila]

Zechariah reviews his score (1/2):

§1 In the name of Risto Pietilä, Head of Area Command in Malla Bitcoin Castle, Special Operations (allied with the Galactic Federation of Light), I hereby establish Mission called 'GM1' [as a mission name, it stands for 'Galactic Majesty', and '1' is there just to observe the uniform id-space] by these 20 sections. When you have reached 'minimum the maximum number of points' [that was an insider joke, but the Voice did not indicate it in any way, preferring to read as if from a script] you can execute the promotion PROMOTECHAR 36 21 year. This section is graded by GM.

This is a win-more item:
7 (0)
6 (1)
5 (2)
4 (5)
3 (5)
2 (4)
1 (2)
0 (1)
N (0)

§2 Each section is graded by a member of the Cast [meaning that the entity identifier is bolded when first mentioned]. Introduce at maximum 100 members of cast. At the close of the mission, you must report the full cast in the datatype: [cast_shortname; char_id; freetext]. The graders use [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] as the grades, with '3' indicating an essentially failed section, and '5' exemplary performance. The grader must cause the threadpost about the grading appear without your direct intervention. The grading of the sections awards at maximum 100 Mission Points (MP1). In addition, each member of the cast is entitled to give you FUCKs with '+1' as part of the message. Such FUCKs must be given separately (ie. no '+2' (etc.) allowed), and will count as 1*MP1, each, up to the following quotas, per entity:
L20 entities (7);
Archdukes, Royal Princes or equivalent(x2) (6);
Grand Dukes/Grand Duchesses or equivalent (5);
Dukes/Duchesses or equivalent (4);
Princes/Princesses or equivalent (3);
Marquesses/Marchionesses or equivalent (2);
other cast members (1).
It is enough that they use GIVE FUCK amount [message_that_includes_the_text_'+1')]. This section is graded by GM.

Zechariah checks that no FUCKs are given to support him yet. (The strategic giving of FUCKs is something that may take the score to many points up if the bettors so wish.) He forecasts he gets c *MP1 from this one (while unable to forget the Witty=3 Maria who sadly flew away after only one a Beautiful=2 night together. "The fragrance of Albert Bichot will never be without you again..."

After some recursion, Zechariah feels he'll take the following:
7 (0)
6 (0)
5 (4)
4 (6)
3 (7)
2 (1)
1 (1)
0 (1)
N (0)
He does not give a fuck to the ambiguity, preferring to concern himself with other things.

§3 Compose at minimum 20 Articles about different topics that must essentially be ununderstandable by non-Peers, use Article identifier '[ARx]' at the beginning and [/'ARx'] at close. This section is graded by any Marquess or lower, your choice (which must be indicated at latest upon the initial publication of 'AR20').

I think it is reasonable to get 20 Articles, so I give myself a high chance (11) for a 5; a 4 is (6); a 3 is (2); and 6 is (1). Many of them are good quality.

§4 Consume at minimum 49 different cigars (this must be done in 3D/5D) in at minimum 10 different venues, and compose an ode for each one of them. The odes may not be more than 11 lines long, and at minimum 12 human languages must be used. This section is graded by NewLiberty.

The demand does not come close to Zechariah's mission limits, and since 'ode' can be understood Wide=1, he'll probably get them done given time. But time is not a given (you choose it). Being self-glorious, Zechariah believes again that a 5 is the default option and all others are rare:

§5 Cause all the Princes and higher in the Kingdom appear (in 3D/5D) in Revalia Old Town to be introduced to you. Princes and higher first promoted to Prince or higher latest 1670-11-9 [note the usage of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 as identifier of game-months] are included, the latter promotions excluded [to enforce the '48-realhour rule' of mobilisation]. This section is graded by the highest non-self Prince or higher present in Revalia Old Town at the close of the Mission.

§6 Draft 100 Quests related to the five phases of relationship between a man and a girl (in 3D/5D), complete with grading systems, so that the girls you fuck, are able to assess your (or any fucking partner's) score in the range of [(0.00%) - 100.00% (or higher)]. Maximum number of 'game points' (not counted towards the 1%*100 = 100% awarded by the 100 Quests) is 500 pips (5%) by the guy and 500 pips (5%) by the girl, and the maximum pips awardable for a single act of giving a fuck, is 50+50. This section is graded by yourself (, since it is obviously too much to ask anyone else to do it, due to the effort involved).

Even though this seems to have not advanced much, it is almost in :Zechariah:mind so only pending time, which is soon becoming prio2, since other tasks are dependent on this one.

§7 Fuck 606 different girls (who must be at minimum Fuckable=1, each). (It is enough that they execute FUCKED 36 [score (optional)].) This section is graded by Crichton.

Hmm... 95 hours sounds like not much for this worthy goal. First we need the article/s out, then the game needs to allow them in, then something groupmagical must happen (the only way to overcome Zechariah's perfectionism which has precluded his intimate access to girls for quite a time already), and someone (who is not Zechariah) needs to get them to FUCKED char_id.

"This is not happening in this week for sure, so I might as well bet against it to get some money out of a too clear-cut 'mission' that is only doing bad to my reputation as a motherfucker..."

You may not give any such passes to girls who have not executed FUCKED 36 [90.00% or higher] at the time of surrendering the (X-XII level) License to Fuck. This section is graded by serje.

§9 Get mutually FUCKED with your twin flame, preferably by mutually losing Virginity in the process. Note that you may not administer her FUCKED 36 [score (voluntary)] automatically, you need to get her to cause it to happen. This section is graded by GM.

Actually my latest research show that Twin Flame might be a misconception, as everyone is Uniquely Special (special=4). It makes the probability sieve undense, considering 362 BLS and 632 BLS (belonging to same mission but I did not know of the plate) parked next to each other in Vene and that nothing has happened for a week:

§10 Cause the marketcap of Markka be higher than that of Bitcoin continuously during the last 24 days of the Mission. (This is mainly to domesticate MP, who controls Bitcoin, yet continues to scold you publicly as he is unwilling to grok the speed of things happening.) This section is graded by SirJacket.

This does not have a bullseye chance of success any more (due to the hardheadedness of the cast), but it's interesting what SirJacket grades the partial success of raising marketcap from 1 to 10...1000 million in 2 months. At least he does the grading for sure (N (0)).

Zechariah knows that it pisses her off greatly that he forgot her [name&face], for which he is sorry.

This is the original thread in the altcoin discussion:

[FF#1 * 1669-5-13 * Oak Lounge]

- 'Your Galactic Majesty,'

"At ease, General."

Zechariah was joking, because he knew very well he was once again in the position of receiving the Masters of the Universe Initiation, this time younger than ever before (233 years and still going strong). He felt the energy was high. The Veil of Confusion was still there, partially, and every experience felt new and old at the same time, in an intriguing way.

- OK, we have been there before. You know the rules, you must do 20 things and each is graded from 0 to 5 by named people, and Princes+ give bonus, and you need to score at least 100/100 points to get the accreditation of the promotion already effected by yourself.

"Yeah. Since I don't want to become Most Busy doing it, please let's talk business in here. 'Please state the Mission Intent.'"

- Are you sure you can this time listen to it without interruption?

The Voice was surprisingly agitated, for which Zechariah could not immediately identify the reason, and also did not have the time to give a fuck since the Voice continued almost immediately ('Immediate' equals Priority=1, and in the level of senior SpecOps generals, it actually means that we are talking about a fraction of a fuck (or tbh it always means that, but the clock rate of senior generals is usually a bit higher than that of the junior ones, the main difference being the number of usable devas and the power of the commands available)).

Zechariah did not say a word, which apparently caused the Voice to continue.

- Attention.

Zechariah had been paying attention all the time, but gave a quick salute, to get the Voice to relax. (He himself was reasonably relaxed, with Beethoven 9th playing in 432 Hz, a CIG in its prime (about 33% left), W1615P in glass and a cup of tea of course. He was prepared for whatever was about to come.)

[The use of Dash without anything following is rare.]

§1 In the name of Risto Pietilä, Head of Area Command in Malla Bitcoin Castle, Special Operations (allied with the Galactic Federation of Light), I hereby establish Mission called 'GM1' [as a mission name, it stands for 'Galactic Majesty', and '1' is there just to observe the uniform id-space] by these 20 sections. When you have reached 'minimum the maximum number of points' [that was an insider joke, but the Voice did not indicate it in any way, preferring to read as if from a script] you can execute the promotion PROMOTECHAR 36 21 year. This section is graded by GM.

§2 Each section is graded by a member of the Cast [meaning that the entity identifier is bolded when first mentioned]. Introduce at maximum 100 members of cast. At the close of the mission, you must report the full cast in the datatype: [cast_shortname; char_id; freetext]. The graders use [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] as the grades, with '3' indicating an essentially failed section, and '5' exemplary performance. The grader must cause the threadpost about the grading appear without your direct intervention. The grading of the sections awards at maximum 100 Mission Points (MP1). In addition, each member of the cast is entitled to give you FUCKs with '+1' as part of the message. Such FUCKs must be given separately (ie. no '+2' (etc.) allowed), and will count as 1*MP1, each, up to the following quotas, per entity:
L20 entities (7);
Archdukes, Royal Princes or equivalent(x2) (6);
Grand Dukes/Grand Duchesses or equivalent (5);
Dukes/Duchesses or equivalent (4);
Princes/Princesses or equivalent (3);
Marquesses/Marchionesses or equivalent (2);
other cast members (1).
It is enough that they use GIVE FUCK amount [message_that_includes_the_text_'+1')]. This section is graded by GM.

§3 Compose at minimum 20 Articles about different topics that must essentially be ununderstandable by non-Peers, use Article identifier '[ARx]' at the beginning and [/'ARx'] at close. This section is graded by any Marquess or lower, your choice (which must be indicated at latest upon the initial publication of 'AR20').

§4 Consume at minimum 49 different cigars (this must be done in 3D/5D) in at minimum 10 different venues, and compose an ode for each one of them. The odes may not be more than 11 lines long, and at minimum 12 human languages must be used. This section is graded by NewLiberty.

§5 Cause all the Princes and higher in the Kingdom appear (in 3D/5D) in Revalia Old Town to be introduced to you. Princes and higher first promoted to Prince or higher latest 1670-11-9 [note the usage of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 as identifier of game-months] are included, the latter promotions excluded [to enforce the '48-realhour rule' of mobilisation]. This section is graded by the highest non-self Prince or higher present in Revalia Old Town at the close of the Mission.

§6 Draft 100 Quests related to the five phases of relationship between a man and a girl (in 3D/5D), complete with grading systems, so that the girls you fuck, are able to assess your (or any fucking partner's) score in the range of [(0.00%) - 100.00% (or higher)]. Maximum number of 'game points' (not counted towards the 1%*100 = 100% awarded by the 100 Quests) is 500 pips (5%) by the guy and 500 pips (5%) by the girl, and the maximum pips awardable for a single act of giving a fuck, is 50+50. This section is graded by yourself (, since it is obviously too much to ask anyone else to do it, due to the effort involved).

§7 Fuck 606 different girls (who must be at minimum Fuckable=1, each). (It is enough that they execute FUCKED 36 [score (optional)].) This section is graded by Crichton.

§8 Give out all the Great Motherfucker's Pleasure Club Licenses to Fuck (12 of them) to 12 different girls who have graded your mutual relationship to at minimum 90.00%, each. You may not give any such passes to girls who have not executed FUCKED 36 [90.00% or higher] at the time of surrendering the (X-XII level) License to Fuck. This section is graded by serje.

§9 Get mutually FUCKED with your twin flame, preferably by mutually losing Virginity in the process. Note that you may not administer her FUCKED 36 [score (voluntary)] automatically, you need to get her to cause it to happen. This section is graded by GM.

§10 Cause the marketcap of Markka be higher than that of Bitcoin continuously during the last 24 days of the Mission. (This is mainly to domesticate MP, who controls Bitcoin, yet continues to scold you publicly as he is unwilling to grok the speed of things happening.) This section is graded by SirJacket.

§11 Cause the existing Markka certificates [in denominations 100,000...10,000,000 Markkaa/Mark] to be generally accepted means of payment in the HoReCa sector of the economy of Revalia Old Town. This section is graded by Neo.

§12 Get one of the cast to correctly identify the 20 sections of the Mission Intent, whether they pertain to the mystical character attributes of Power (P), Love (L), Wisdom (W) and Mystery (M), so that his/her answer is given as a sequence of letters, eg. 'PPPPPLLLLLWWWWWMMMMM', and reported in the thread. Exactly 5 sections must be attributed to each attribute. The correct answer you must give as a sealed envelope beforehand to a member of the cast, and this one may not open the envelope before you ask him/her to do so for the grading of the answer. This section is graded by Syksy.

§13 Correctly identify all the sections that you estimate that you cannot satisfactorily fulfil (ie, get a score of 0, 1, 2, or 3 (instead of a 4 or 5) out of the 5*MP1 maximum awardable for each section) by the deadline, and state the answer as a list of [section_id; score; reason for estimated unsatisfactory performance]. This list must be published before 100 characters have FUCKED 36 [score (optional)]. This section is graded by Paul.

§14 Enforce that Sign is Obeyed in base:Embassy by all the entities in there, so that the allowable punishments for uncompliance amount to, at maximum the following:
i) Daily Warning;
ii) Mission Warning;
iii) Temporary or permanent removal from the base;
iv) getting fucked (or: FUCKED fucker [message], however girls must not be forced to execute game commands) by you or any holder of a valid License to Fuck in the area violated. All readers note that guys may be FUCKED as an admin action, causing (up to) the loss of Virginity in favor of the fucker (if it was not surrendered already at the time of the execution of the punishment). (If punishments are promptly and unequivocally executed, the section must be graded as '5' regardless of the number and severity of violations of Sign. Your own violations of the lawful rules enacted by operators of other venues may lower the grade, (only) if punished promptly and unequivocally by the competent authorities of the venues in question, and brought to the attention of the grader by an other-self.) This section is graded by NewLiberty.

§15 All of this must be done by (the end of) 1671-1-9, the expiration moment of Licenses to Fuck. This section is graded by Saddam.

§16 During the Mission, you are not to leave Revalia Old Town, touch any physical currency (EUR/USD banknotes, physical BTC/XMR, or monetary items made of silver or gold of 90% or higher purity), or carry any currency, any access key or equivalent, or any device (except one laptop at a time) in your person when outside of a properly designated Venue. Further, you must beforehand indicate who (of the Peers) is your (male) aide-de-camp. You may change this designation at any time, as long as it is done beforehand. You may only use 20 spoken words (total in any language) to communicate with other guys during the mission. The list of these words must be updated with prio=4 and a word once used cannot be removed from the list. It is (self-evidently) allowable to employ the full vocabulary when talking to girls and to the aide-de-camp on duty. This section is graded by yourself (as nobody else can do it, and you are a Truthspeaker).

§17 The reporting must be done to this thread in exactly 127 numbered posts, each indicating the date and venue in the same format as in the beginning of this post, and the posts may not be edited except during the first month since the initial posting. 'Code of Written Conduct' applies when appropriate. For every day Bitcointalk.org is operational for less than 50% of the time, as measured by the matrix, you get 1*MP1 (with no maximum). (This provision is to ensure the reporting about the Mission:GM1 does not get hampered by the dark forces.) This section is graded by the Moderator.

§18 Get the operator of Bitcointalk.org to report the correct thread readership figures. This section is graded by yourself.

§19 Write a summary of maximum 20 lines that gives an average enlightened starchild the information about what must happen before you get the 4th star with all its associated privileges and responsibilities. This section is graded by Mooo.

§20 Assess the value of your Mind (denominated in M/year) correctly to the nearest power of 10, based on the number and pecuniary value of fucks given during the Mission:GM1. This section is graded by the Voice (me).

.end of Mission Intent.

As the Voice discontinued, Zechariah's first fuck was given to appreciate that most of the stuff could be reported without needing to care about the level of understanding of the 'average enlightened starchild' (which he does not find too high, tbh). He proceeded to meditate on the rest before giving answer, and wanted to do it in style, giving an appreciable number of fucks to compose it.

"In the name of the Infinite Creator and all the Ascended Masters, Sir, I hereby acknowledge that I have been given Mission:GM1 and I will seek to fulfil it with the best I have at hand, and report according to the instructions, seeking your audience only when I at minimum have reached 100/100 mission points, or, if this does not happen, the latest after a month has passed since the deadline, in which case I have to explain the reason for failure, and understand that I may or may not get a second chance to try the Initiation in this incarnation."

- Do you have any questions? Each question asked reduces your starting score (0) by 1 mission point (MP1).

"Sir, may I propose that I may ask questions on the go? It takes time to think of good ones to ask, and - you know - time is money.. "

- OK, but any further questions will reduce your score by 2 points. You are now at -1*MP1.

"I beg to remain eternally Yours, (Will Do, etc.)"

- Go.

[FF#127 * 1671-1-11 * Conference Room (:,:Embassy:Ambassador_Lounge)]

Zechariah decides this matter is of more galactic importance than the plight of the speculators who claim that they can reasonably collect 7.17*10^39(%) APR while remaining in Light (unlikely, but... ppl need to see the thing), proceeding to the room where the Voice is waiting mouth dry.

- (At ease.) This shit is getting serious. I only have 5 stars myself, and now the grading says that I must access my higher-self, even though I AM the higher-self of you, and you are getting your 4th soon... What to make out of THIS one?

Zechariah takes him closer to the Voice, casually ripping his pig skin attaché case to himself in the process, carefully ensuring that the Voice did not realise what hit him. Amused by his powers, he walks on to open the door of the closet full of bottles of WINEs and SPI, placed such that they fall on top of each other while becoming consumed in the process, when the door is opened. The door of the closet full of bottles of WINEs and SPI, placed such that they fall on top of each other while becoming consumed in the process, is opened, and the bottles of WINEs and SPI, placed such that they fall on top of each other while becoming consumed in the process, fall on top of each other while becoming consumed in the process. Now it is Voice's turn to go pale and say (he knows a lot of advanced ways to address people, being the sole ***** general ever in SpecOps (as long as he was concerned - it's NTKB (need to know basis) in here, you know:

- In the name of HGM Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, THOFB70, AOK-GM, OD-GM, AOD-Gen4, etc., etc(x3) - - [the Voice previously thought he was the highest guy in the kingdom to address his colleague incarnate properly, consisting of:
* Selecting to open Discussion in the name of something, which nowadays happens with very few people, and to them only prio6;
* Addressing some in his own incarnate nick, which is MINDFUCK=2;
* Choosing to address him with Name instead of nick, which probably happens A4 earth-wide, per year;
* Choosing to address him with Style instead of Name, which, in oral address, has happened only less than 72 times in the written history (qualifying for A6)
, when Zechariah calmly unmutes his laptop, playing TikTak, threadposting in the process, carefully assigning the music to start at the same time for the universal audience, which is: file starts playing 10 seconds after the post hits the air.

Buddy, you been gone for almost 3 years , please at least say Hi
When did they let you out of psychiatric ward already? (serious question)

[CrazyLoaf]

If anyone is interested, I would like to sell the following domains related to this project:

cryptokingdom.me
cryptokingdom.com
cryptokingdom.gold

The .me domain was the original one Risto used, and I had to acquire the .com on the secondary market since he didn't think to register it when he started the project.

Additionally, I am willing to sell the complete game database and source code. The code is nothing fancy at all. Actually you'll be shocked at how bad it is considering how much Risto spent on it. But someone could possibly use the database and historic price data to create NFTs or a reboot or something. I mean there are some insane levels of "proof of burn" or "proof of value" to Crypto Kingdom items, considering items as pointless as unicorns went for 1000+ XMR in the past.

The database also has user email and account information, so if you wanted to airdrop assets to old users, it is possible for those that included a way to recover their accounts.

Please contact me via direct message if interested.
