CryptoKingdom Uncensored

[generalizethis]

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.

Time's Up

Since the only force to show themselves on the Battle Field is Vigens (BV 4: H4+, 2 PIS on person--we were told he wanted to bring a Cann, but was frustrated by the inability of one horse to pull a Cannon), it is believed that Zech and his forces are pent up within the building hoping to ambush us, or that Zech has abandoned his men and they are held up inside without any orders.

Orders:

--Moneromooo and Tombot's force are ordered to cover the East side of the building with orders to shoot anyone leaving.

--Dragon is ordered to cover North side of the building with orders to incinerate anyone leaving the building.

--1st and 2nd Royal Regiments are ordered to remain at south of building, move Cannon units into range and open fire if anyone attempts to leave the building or Vigens moves.

--Royal Calvary is ordered to the West side of the building with orders for 2 PTE to enter building and make contact with enemy. If these men do not come out by 11am UTC with unconditional surrender, the building and all those inside will be obliterated--gold and jewels can be recovered from the wreckage.

--Vigens is asked to lay down his weapons and leave the Battle Field with his life.

--Zechariah is ordered to submit to unconditional surrender/

Zechariah has not abandoned Malla, his Palace, but the fact is that he is not there either. Since hurriedly leaving Tavastian lands to meet a feminine female in Pärnu (later: Revalia, again later: postponed), Zechariah has stayed in B.9, just close enough to the town to see the spires of B.1 and the newly-found wealth manifested as the skyscrapers in B.22 (to the south from the previous), but having a healthy distance to whatever witchcraft the dark side may employ in their effort to prolong their rule.

The roll call returned:

* ~$1.0 million in Crypto Holding (Ultima: Restructuring Bank of CryptoTown, RB) transferable shares;
* (up to) $15 million in other claims against the Dark Forces in Revalia (pending resolution by the equivalent of 'FBI' of the Vabariik);
* 129 acres of land in Malla, protected by Shield=4-5;
* DAGcoin ICO pocketed with a BTC2.2 capital injection;

B9, cool. That's were my men are from Plath are who just arrested you. Thanks for playing the, "I'm wherever you aren't" card. And forgetting it goes both ways.

BTW, last time you made your whereabouts known was in Malla, so even if you wanted to play that card, you need to state it at the beginning of the encounter or run the risk of looking like a coward--IE. I'm not playing hide and seek, little boy.


Zech is hereby to be taken to the prison and kept under guard. His NPC at Malla are to be conscripted into TOWN and OldDuchy and any loot from his premises to be used to pay for the encounter and for TOWN and OldDuchy to expand the game's user base.

Vigens, if you want to die by Cannon trauma, here's your chance--otherwise lay down your weapons and leave.

As previously mentioned, the TotW challenge is about to be changed a bit with the goal of promoting consumption and stimulating the consumable market. Thus, starting from tomorrow we will be testing out several different rule sets to see how they affect the market and people's engagement with the game. Direct feedback is always welcome.

I also wish to remind you of the two bounties on this topic:

Top of the World Challenge Bounty

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-top

Within 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 500mil M.

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.

For this extension, I will personally provide 100 million M of my own stash on top of the core program, or 50 million M + 100mil from TOWN, if it is stand-alone, lacking the completion of the core program.

They will help more easily gauging the effectiveness of the rules and promoting people, so less precious time is spent.

The new rule sets will all have some things in common:

Leveling through the Top of the World system will now continue up to and including level 13 (Viscount) and the upper levels will be accompanied by status equal to those who were born in or were granted nobility of the same rank.

All three sections (Health, Culture/Happiness, Wisdom) will be used to gauge promotions, to varying extents, based on the active rules.

The basic game system will remain the same, including the item stats, level modifiers, variety bonuses, hourly depreciation, etc. Better documentation on these will be consolidated and provided soon™ as the thread deletion fiasco and general craziness has lost some of the information. Accurate information will be made available on the wiki and anyone is free to contribute if they are familiar with the system.

The promotion check will still follow the same method, by randomly generating a time between 00:00 and 23:59 ( https://www.random.org/clock-times/?num=1&earliest=00%3A00&latest=23%3A59&interval=5&format=html&rnd=new ), and cross-checking it with snapshots of the rankings at the nearest time.

Now, the promotion rules for years 1679-1680 will be the following:

Characters of levels 1 through 7 will promote if they are present in the Top 5 of any of the three sections (H, C, W), so more options for lower levels are now available.
Levels 8 through 10 promote if they are in the Top 3 of either Happiness or Wisdom.
Levels 11 through 13 will have to be on the first position of the Wisdom section, as was previously required for the promotion from 8 to 9.

Currently there are rewards for leveling up to 3, including a town gold coin and a DIS share. New rewards will be introduced soon™ and rebalanced as more data is gathered and the game advances.

Further announcements will be made on the subject once matters are decided.

In the meantime, happy consumption and good luck catching your top position.

Vigens pulls a white flag and surrenders as there is too much firepower to handle from oppositions.

Long live King Zech !

Gringotts Update
I have approached a few established escrow agents, but to date none have been interested.

I've now made a public thread advertising the position, so hopefully we will find a suitable trusted escrow soon.

If I can't find an experienced escrow agent for Gringotts I will setup BTC & XMR cold wallets myself (basic service), and start receiving deposits temporarily until the Game recovers sufficiently to attract someone on a permanent basis.

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

In response to this bounty, I've put forth an open letter addressed to HMC and other potential investors in hopes for funding and an audience to discuss the details of potential business that might occur as a result of an expedition around the African continent.

I am not personally interested in partaking in the expedition, but wish to help sponsor it in order to discover and bring forth new materials, consumables, crafts, production processes and technology from Western Europe and the African Coast. As such I would be using the expedition to reasonably and realistically come up with some products and items that we've wanted to bring to the game since we started (mostly lemons and lemon-related matters).

The trip can also provide the means for a new set of exotic items, alike Ming and Venetian collectibles, but also higher volume imports such as exotic wood and consumables. Thus, I am interested in establishing a corporation that can make use of the expedition's discoveries for profit.

Specifics are withheld until bounty submissions are closed, or this submission is accepted, due to competitive reasons.

Promotions are out. Funnily enough, all promotions for this week happened within the first 2 days of the week, with the following days being merely reshufflings of the same people (and some nobles). Still, about the average amount since I took the reins.

Now... starting from this moment, the new rules mentioned in the previous TOTW post above are in place. All the necessary info is found in the spreadsheet.

Don't forget about the 100% spoilrate for some of the consumables 6 days from now, so get to consuming and good luck with the rng.

Thank you for the possibility to play!

My first act is to reach out to the King of Sweden, by sending a messenger, with this important question:

Do Sweden want:

a) the pirates dead (killed in battle or hanged upon capture) and our reward is any and all treasures found.

b) the pirates preferably taken as prisoners for a reward per pirate and we get half of the treasures found.

This question will be answered by rolling a dice, before we start our journey. If we will get a reward per captured pirate, then that amount of reward (in silver bars) will also be determined by a roll of the dice.

I deposited 100xmr during this crash.

If you deposited xmr and traded that m3 for m and spent that m on cannons and such, then you have cannons and such. Deposhares are the only thing in the game that is convertible to a cryptocurrency and your buddy risto wrecked b1 and e1, so whatever m3 you have or buy is what you can withdraw--that depo afaik is run by saddam.

[saddambitcoin]

From what date afterwards will be deposits refunded if the game will stop?
I deposited 100xmr during this crash.

I see that you deposited XMR (M3) and sold it for M. The M3 amount that exists in-game represents the balance of XMR deposited, so only M3 can be withdrawn for XMR.

May be interested in this. I am assuming any death is only in this game? We don't die in Ultima or anything?
