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

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?

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

fractional shares are allowed.

Please, no

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.

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.
