Tax Vote
OldDuchy needs to raise funds, so the Crown will levy a tax to raise funds for its continued service.
Option 1: A Tax levied on ITEMS from the 20th Century (HINT: there is only one and it can be found on the book shelves of the most hated man in the Kingdom).
Option 2: A CAN Tax (This will certainly be more distributed and help unhorde the current crop).
Voting stops Thursday 12am UTC
Voting ended: Books from the 20th Century will be taxed 50Bil (A good day for OldDuchy and book lovers who think the one area we don't apply realism shouldn't be the realm of literature). Funds will be used to secure military and game security and renew efforts for finding the Badlands.

Do the old-timers here think rpietila is going 'crazy' and losing all his crypto $$ to avoid a divorce settlement with his ex-wife? I find it hard to believe after all these years he would deliberately trash his reputation without there being a good reason.
Drugs are a good reason--literally a drug can turn you into someone else, capable of psychopathic behavior (let's blame them for me fucking them over--as an example, OC), general dumbassery ("I can't gets my accounts to work!!!") and bouts of gibberish laced with manic-depression ((((((HIGHx9))))){{{dude!}}}^^^O^^^---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm77s5FbkoQ<---Watch.Music.Listen.2.Chase -- good chance this is all an act, also--see malla ms paint makeover Doing ICE or crack maybe, but weed doesn't usually send people mental, not in a few weeks, usually takes years of daily hydro abuse to bring on psychosis, this looks more like an act, to 'lose' money so he can avoid paying his ex-wife. I understand why risto might want to destroy CK to avoid paying taxes and his ex, but why the hell is he dumping on his friends, people who supported his game with real money. He could have gone 'mental' and just walked away from this game but left it intact, given it to his kids, or the other players. This CK game could have been +30M USD now, easily, but now it's practically worthless. What a totally selfish thing to do! Hating on the tax man and the ex-wife is one thing, but fucking over your friends ... it doesn't make sense.

Game is no better or worse than when risto came back from his markka quest and started throwing money around haphazardly to gain a few more users and create an artificial valuation based on euro-debt he never likely intended to pay--that debt will follow him to the forked game he's creating and beyond, as most won't forget that level of debt. CK rolls on without risto or the bevy of greed-addled sycophants he garnered as a tribute to how-much-he-is-willing-to-gift-them. As for his drug use, I doubt pot is the only drug is he is using (though he is a bad enough drunk for it not to matter).

I wish you remaining people well, I always thought risto was on a winner with this 'crypto monopoly' game, thought it might take a few years of development to take off, but the basic idea is easy to understand, and really cool. The best revenge would be to make it super HUGE, that would hurt risto's ego more than getting hacked for 700K XMR.

Declaration of War
In retaliation to his efforts and threats to undermine CryptoKingdom, Zechariah must submit to the unconditional surrender of all his troops and possesions or meet the Kingdom's Forces on the field of Battle.
All nobles are urged to assemble forces, move them into position around Zech's Estate and prepare to attack on command--payment for armed services will be compensated from Zechariah's holdings once surrender or victory are achieved.
As per rules: M, Deposhares and land will not be touched as part as the spoils of war--though any stone recovered from Zechariah's land will be used to help build a highway system to improve commerce.
We prefer that Zechariah act in accordance with his own wishes and leave The Kingdom under the peaceful flag of surerender, but will use all available force to secure a long overdue emancipation.
His crimes against the community in the form scams, bludgeoning citizens over the head with demands of serville feality, and overall obnoxiousness in the form of unceasing posts of taunting to pure giberish, have stalled us at the proverbial fork in the road. And as a wise man once said, "When you come to a fork in the road--take it!"
Non-response (or intentional ambiguity) by Zechariah will be deemed as abandonment and treated as a surrender in effect.

The Prince of Stonehaven sadly shakes his head, wondering at what illness could have possessed the ex King, causing him to turn against his peers. And it had come to that, taking up arms against one would was once guiding the kingdom with a vision, and who ended up a thief, plundering from all who trusted him. Still, salvation was at hand, simple restitution the only door out of his self made cell. Unlocked, yet one which he steadfastly refused to open.
Sir Mooo of Stonehaven leads his remaining meager army towards Zechariah's estate, to serve under King Crichton's command.

Good decision, Zechariah is a gangrenous limb on the CK body now, time to cut him off and save what's left!

Earl Tombot was busy planning the Åland Islands trip and preparing his ships, when the above declaration reached him, and made him sad. War inside the Kingdom is not something he had hoped for. Earl Tombot sends 10 PTE (with 5 MKT and 5 PIS) to serve under the King's command. 1 PTE together with Drummerboy and Meat are kept guarding the boats. All cannons on the 3 boats are immediately loaded.

"The Dark designs of the forces of evil are among us, they are leeching at us, mocking us from the insides of that wicked castle!"
Zenon stuck his staff on the floor. Years later, people would swear the earth shook, yielding to the old Magus' eriee power.
"I do not understand what has possessed that man anymore. This deranged agency, redolent of Evil itself, I can not countenance it anymore. It must be cleansed! But my power shall not be used for this, it will be left to the powers of war to wound the land, and then cauterize it."
The magus took a step back, shifting his weight onto his staff, seemingly shorter than he was mere seconds ago. The people were utterly silent, watching in awe of the wizard's fiery speech. Zenon's gaze lifted towards the King, and his lips barely moved as he whispered:
"Lift the yoke of ignominy"

Royal Weapons Corporation 1 Billion M Bounty
The Royal Weapons Corporation, its subsidiaries of Royal Carriage Corporation and Royal Window Works Corporation, would like to extend a warm welcome to all players. After a successful entrance into the new era of production, we have been fortunate as a family of companies to fufill a few of CK's needs--we would like to share our success with others, and extend the production and resource base of the Game, by offering a Billion M bounty for a new Corporation and/or Expedition.
RULES:
Corporation: Winner will be determined on the basis of the ability to create a realistic and/or novel means of production, ability to manage resources effectively, and market their product or product line. The winner will be given 1 Billion M and a corporate account, RWC will distribute the shares of the new company per agreement between RWC and CEO (mainly to determine how many shares the CEO wishes to purchase pre-IPO--standard policy is 10/40/50 split with 10% going to CEO, 40% to the IPO and 50% going to the parent company RWC--due to the large nature of the bounty, the CEO may wish to increase their initial share beyond the typical agreement).
Expedition: Winner will be based on storytelling and planning. The winner will be given ship(s)and supplies based on their expressed needs, along with any extra funding left over from their Billion M budget--these expenses will be pre-figured based on the plan that the Explorer(s) presents to RWC. RWC will receive rights to any ITEMS from this exploration with both parties having the ability to renegotiate their positions if further exploration is desired beyond the scope of the first expedition.
Good luck to all, RWC CEO, HM_Crichton
Winners will be announced Monday, so there is still time to propose an Expedition or Corporation.

Quoted in case of deletion on the scammer's self-moderated thread Since it appears to be a hard concept: Your debt to me, at least, is to be settled in the real world, as previously agreed.
Notwithstanding the amount (=0) to CK_Zephyrus, do you not understand English: Already 3+ million E1 have been settled in the equivalent amount in EUR, and the same opportunity is offered to everyone who maculate their claims in Ultima and start playing in Universe, as the followers will do. How does one maculate a claim? As soon as the 'Crypto Kingdom - Universe - Game DB' is online for public, the claims (as well as any assets & Items in general) may be transferred to it by sending them to '5' in Ultima (cryptokingdom.me) and then creating the equivalence in the 'Crypto Kingdom - Universe - Game DB', which will cause me to evaluate it and pay. Please pay your debt to me as agreed, on the Bitcoin blockchain. Thanks. And likewise any unilateral declaration of substituted terms on behalf of other creditors, no matter how many times attempted, or repeated, is completely illegitimate. Please pay as agreed, and promptly.

Top of the World Challenge Bounty As things have started moving in a positive direction, other elements of the game must follow. Among those is the current health challenge, or the Top of the World challenge that is used to promote characters and stimulate the consumable market. We are in the process of expanding the game's rules so that it is more engaging and worth the time of more people. Some of the points of attention are: - making use of all 3 sections (Health, Happiness, Wisdom); - increasing the leveling up to LV15; - re-introducing a set of rewards for achieving different milestones; - advancing the entertainment value, challenge and competition among those who participate. This will be an iterative process with various attempts and changes within the game, based on player feedback, with the goal of increasing the number of willing participants and the consumption rate, and ultimately making the consumable market active and interesting. A key requirement for the success of such a process, is accurate data collection regarding how many people consume items, how much they consume, and what kind. The former two being essential. This is the Top of the World API: https://cryptokingdom.me/api/world-topWithin this API, one can see all the people who have ever consumed an item and their current points in each section. More data would be nice, such as where those points came from (their level modifier, what they consumed, etc.), but this is what we have to work with now. What we need is a neat way to automatically parse this data and come up with the number of people who are actively consuming (points > 0), the total amount of points, and some basic calculations (averages per active/total/top, accounting for the level modifiers, etc.). A bounty will be issued for the completion of such a program by Town and your king, equal to however much he deems this to be worth. An extension to this program would be selecting the TopX in each category and cross-checking them with the rules of the game in order to generate the promotion command. As mentioned, the rules are subject to change, but to give you an idea, the system would currently work as follows: parse the world-top API, select the ids for the top 5 in the wisdom section in order, if already promoted discard, open each of them in the character api (example: https://cryptokingdom.me/api/characterInfoByID/1234 ) and select their current level, if level <6 promote, if <8 and top3 promote, if <9 and top1 promote. The new rules would probably be similar but include the health and happiness section and potentially other things to check. More information will be available soon™. For this extension, I will personally provide 100 million M of my own stash on top of the core program, or 50 million M if it is stand-alone, lacking the completion of the core program. Everyone is welcome to participate and contribute to the progress with their own bounties, or funds for existing bounties. Better options or suggestions are always appreciated. Etc. etc. The advent of war means an incoming storm of opportunity. Taking action now may prove to be very valuable once the dust settles.
