Introducing the Loafenhodl Research Insititute

After many years of work and extensive development, the LRI is now open to the public. Scientists and Engineers are now hard at work researching and developing new technologies and bringing the Kingdom to par with our regional rivals.

This could not have been done without the generous support of private investors who have provided the Institute with land, resources, funding and manpower to start off in great force. A total value of 6 Billion Markka have been raised prior to public opening, and they have already been put to good use to bring the Kingdom's Meat and Fish Curing Technology to modern levels, but more on that later.

With the opening of the LRI, 1/3rd of its value has been put forth on the free market in the form of LRI Shares that any one of you may purchase. Dividends will be paid in the form of M proportional to the revenue generated from research projects and patent ownership. As technology advances, the Institute's worth and demand will undoubtedly go up, so get in while it's affordable.

With that being said, you may also acquire the services of the Institute by commissioning its exceptional team of researchers to study and discover new technology, steer its progress towards a more desired direction or license one or more of its growing portfolio of patents.

- Be the first or the only to make use of cutting-edge technology;
- Turn your ideas into reality in a well-designed and efficient manner;
- Acquire privileges normally reserved only for His Majesty, The King.

https://i.imgur.com/pkLfX1b.jpg

These following subjects are currently being considered for the LRI's next research period, although others may be approached due to public demand and investments. What the future holds is as unknown as the depths of the ocean.

If anything catches your eye, or you have your own ideas for pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the world, your contributions are highly regarded.

Now, the first of many future LRI developments has been only recently achieved. Smokehouses are now available for production, and soon the first batch of cured meat will be produced!

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/54/10/b0/5410b06b0fd2510ffe82201812cbe752.jpg

A patent license is required to produce your own brand of smokehouse, which is available for a minimum of 30 mil Markka and the construction of 20 smokehouses.

Each smokehouse is capable of curing 200 units of MEAT or SAL which transforms them into tasty and long-lasting cured varieties after an 8 week long smoking process.

For the individual, smokehouses are now available on the market at the low price of 10 mil each, courtesy of the New Department Store!

Keep your meat and fish from spoiling with your very own high-grade smokehouse. A professional team will deliver and install the infrastructure at your desired location and give you a quick and easy instruction on how it operates. Delightful!

It couldn't be any easier. All you need to do is lay out your preferred cuts of meat on the specially-designed racks in the smokehouse, close the door and light the fire in the nearby firepit, then maintain it every other day as the meat cooks into smoky goodness.

Grab your very own Smokehouse™ now!

For more information and assistance in developing your ideas into practical technologies, do not hesitate to contact the Loafenhodl Research Institute Secretariat.

With high aspirations,
Master of Knowledge Johan "Speed" Matthiasson, Ph. D.
CEO, Loafenhodl Research Institute

Bong washed eyeballs
Rinsed with puffy tears
'If I bleed in public, you'll get stained'
'If I shit the bed, will you smell like me?'
'I'm the victim, you did this!'

Mind in circles racing, lonely in the crowd
It's nearly over, no retreat, no surrender now
All who know me need to suffer, i'm the righteous one
The 'Voice' told me what to do
He doesn't regret a thing
'I never lie!'

Pirate Bay Treasure Hunt



Game Board:

The BOARD is a 20 * 20 BAY with a 5-square MOUTH that grants safe passage, an ISLAND, and a sunken BOAT with 5,000 CKG in TREASURE.

Commands:

GO [N,NE,NW,S,SE,SW,E,W]

SALVAGE [TREASURE]

ATTACK [SHIP " "]

DOCK [REPAIRS, WAIT]

**After 24 real hours, your ship will be considered docked if no command has been issued.

Rules for BOARD:

The MOUTH of the BAY is a safe zone--no combat may take place inside this area. It also grants passage back to CK.

ISLAND has WOOD for repair and grants 10 HP per turn in repairs if docked--you may be attacked if docked.

A MAP may be bought with your current location for 100 SCI without a loss of turn.

Each ship has one command per turn.

Treasure is sunken and requires a turn to SALVAGE.

Treasure remains with any sunken ship until it is salvaged

Rules for COMBAT:

Combat is turned based, so each round is considered a turn.

Turn order is determined by who has a turn left and !d roll. If no player has a turn left, then all turns are determined by !d roll. # of ships each designated 1-X with number rolled determining starting order. Example: 7 ships total. 6 is rolled. Order is 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

# of cannons * !d roll determines hit rate. Example: 8 cannons rolls 3 on "!d 8" = 3 hits

Cannon damage = -1 HP.

Once 0 HP is reached, ship is destroyed.

SHIP Stats

SH-SMALL: 29 HP,  4 guns
SH-CHAR: 38 HP, 6 guns
SH-ESC: 43 HP,  4 guns
SH-FUBB: 171 HP, 12 guns

Best Crypto Kingdom Memory
My best memory from Crypto Kingdom was the revelation that rpietila had approached generalizethis and tried to convince him to turn to the dark side and play the villain in CK. This marked the beginning of rpietila's destructive behaviour against CK, and it could be argued that as generalizethis turned down the offer, rpietila decided it was left to him to add the desired negative polarity in CK, which he has since provided in spades.

This is my best memory of CK as it means right up to this very moment, I still don't know if rpietila is just playing the roll required of the 'dark force' in the Game, or has he actually lost his mind and had a nervous breakdown which has caused him to screw himself and everyone else in the process. Even though CK looks like it's all but dead, the possibility that this has all been part of an elaborate scheme to add the forces of 'darkness' into an otherwise sterile and bland CK world remains.

If rpietila's destructive behaviour is partly explained by him taking up the roll of 'dark lord' and CK villain, then it opens up the possibility that there are co-conspirators working behind the scenes to help achieve this, and if this was the case, then they ALL deserve full marks - the Game does indeed look completely decimated by darkness - and the fact that I don't know what's real and what's bullshit keeps me following CK.

[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

Gamemaster Ruling on the Leak

"The Leak" refers to this post (copied here 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, after all: according to the Leak, we are talking about ~$100k here.

§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.

Gringotts Update:
In preparation for Gringotts opening, I've been looking into the commands used to automate market making.

I've found these two posts below that mention MM, but they use different commands.

Can someone explain how to setup MM using '>' to trigger new commands, and MM using 'buysell'/'sellbuy' ?  

Which method did Coinshop use?

Agora Market update - Conditional commands

The trading game in all items is now starting for real!

You can now use bids and asks to trigger another commands, for cool effects in the marketplace. Syntax is simple: just use ">" sign in the command to indicate that when the preceding part is fully executed, the next part takes effect.

Examples:

1. Buy, sell, and make a quick buck

BUY MEAT 1000 3000>SELL MEAT 1000 3500

Meat spoils only slowly and has liquid markets. It is quite possible that if you place this order, someone dumps you meat, and then the system puts them automatically for sale, and when you check again, the logs tell you that you both bought and sold the meat (while offline) and just have more money.

2. Sell, buy, and make a quick buck

SELL MEAT 1000 3500>BUY MEAT 1000 3000

Same as before, but if you first have the meat and want to buy back lower later.

3. Stop loss

BUY S-CKG 1 6500>SELL S-CKG 1000 1

Places first a small buy order below CKG's current price, so that if someone dumps to it, it triggers your dump at market price.

4. FOMO

SELL S-CKG 1 7500>BUY HM02B100 10 100000000

A small ask in S-CKG is placed to trigger a market buy in gold bars. If the price reaches target, then it's better not be left behind.

5. Cross-asset class arbitrage

SELL CON 50 20000000>BUY 8-N 1 1000000000

After careful examination, I decided that land at 1,000 mil per chapelry yields more than CON at 20 mil per unit. This buys the land right after the CON is sold fully.

6. Automatic increase of gold stock as shares are sold to the market

SELL S-CKG 10000 7000>BUY HM02B100 1 70000000


The simple but powerful new feature allows market making in many items by anyone. There has been an idea to make the speculative gold market to happen in S-CKG instead of the 10,000 times bigger HM02B100 bars. We are confident that the change is technically possible to happen and would allow:
1. Gold ownership (by proxy) for everyone, due to the small unit size (7,000 m)
2. Tighter spreads in market making, down to 1% from current 3%
3. Every action by players causes an instant addition of opposite side orders, keeping the spread thin in active market conditions.

FEATURE SHOULD WORK ALREADY
(report the bugs!)

buysell: (buysell/command+item_id+max_quantity+buy_max_price+sell_min_price; example "buysell coh 10 445000 925000") This is used to set an a buy-order, which triggers a counter sell-order with the items you just purchased--fun stuff! Be wary of setting the units too high; AFAIK the entire buy-order needs to be filled to set the counter sell-order.

sellbuy: (sellbuy/command+item_id+max_quanity+sell_min_price+buy_min_price; example "sellbuy coh 11 655000 1100000") If you got the buysell command, you probably got this already, so I'll go a bit deeper into the use of this command: use it in conjunction with the other commands to control markets--this game is new, the markets are as tiny as a few rare items to as large as an entire economy made up of interlocking parts. In more general terms, it can be played by any level player. Twenty bucks and you can play market-maker, and if you plan well and take into consideration the risk/reward ratio of proven markets versus new markets, you can do well for yourself when the doors re-open for the consumable markets.

[CK_Zephyrus]

The buysell and sellbuy commands are to be used. The > chaining was buggy, and I believe it is disabled these days.
I never used those commands so can't comment on exact use, but trying it out in an otherwise empty market should help see how it behaves.

[generalizethis]

Gringotts Update:

Here's a BUYSELL SELLBUY command creation sheet. My guess is Coinshop uses these commands.

Final Warning
before Crypto Kingdom - Ultima/Clans
ceases to be supported,
causing the loss of
all assets there

Whereas,


§1.  (The pre-announced) Rebellion by the darkness forces started in the 1660s and has continued ever since;

§2.  Light has not been able to gather their forces, rather has succumbed to the lure of withdrawals and general lethargy;

§3.  GameMaster position has been in the hands of darkness for an extended time, and has been used to block Light accounts, eg. Zechariah, Coinshop, Soul, LittleFlock, collectively owning more than 50% of the Markka existing; thus preventing a semblance of corporate governance to happen;

§4.  The blockade of accounts has made it impossible to "pay the debts" since both the ledger and the means to pay have been corrupted and/or rendered unusable;

§5.  The community has been torn apart in a way that resembles permanent division;


So, therefore:


§101.  It seems the darkness forces have managed to get the upper hand in this conflict, exactly as the Voice prophesied*;

§102.  CK:Ultima/Clans support by Light will end this month;

§103.  All assets and liabilities (except M3) of the (blockaded) Light forces will be abandoned in CK:Ultima and resurrected in CK:Universe; M3 will be withdrawn directly from Saddam's treasury (contingent that the treasury is still in Light);

§104.  Everyone must choose sides: choose Light by voluntarily entering your Character information to the Universe DB. Choose darkness by yielding to the status quo;

§105.  The game thread "Crypto Kingdom - 1991 Retro Virtual World(City)" (the one you read now) will be locked in 24 hours;

§106.  The amendments to this ruling and all further communication will be posted to the transitory Game thread.

SIGN.


HIGH Zechariah Tavastia-rpietila-CK-Universe, etc(x5) thanks all the players for the 282 years together. It is sorrowful to leave so many of you here, but the Universe is unbound by darkness and the show must go on. Whoever decides to be left behind, please enjoy the Most Ancient treasures in the Royal Palaces and drink of the golden cups with gusto. There is so much to say and so little hope that this platform will be enough to carry the message to the desirous and deserving recipients. Good-bye. Wishing to be forever your HIGH;.Z.end

Pay your debts.

[CK_Zephyrus]

§2.  Light has not been able to gather their forces, rather has succumbed to the lure of withdrawals and general lethargy;

Does that mean "people have actually had the gall to expect you wouldn't run with the bitcoin" ?

§4.  The blockade of accounts has made it impossible to "pay the debts" since both the ledger and the means to pay have been corrupted and/or rendered unusable;

Again, as I said before, you are free to give an argument as to why that is the case. Again, as I said before, if you find someone willing to buy some of your in game assets, this could be arranged (with the money going to your creditors directly).

§5.  The community has been torn apart in a way that resembles permanent division;

Again, as I said before, I wish it to not be permanent. Again, as I said before, I wish you would cease and desist in your destructive decision and refund your creditors, upon which you would get full access back. It seems like common sense, and yet you rebel at every single step. Until then, the community is split, you on one side, and everyone else on the other.

§103.  All assets and liabilities (except M3) of the (blockaded) Light forces will be abandoned in CK:Ultima and resurrected in CK:Universe; M3 will be withdrawn directly from Saddam's treasury (contingent that the treasury is still in Light);

It seems self evident that liabilities cannot be abandoned without agreement from your creditors.

It is most unfortunate that you chose to destroy what has been accomplished so far. However, it is now becoming more and more apparent that you may not have what it takes to build something like this, and that the lure of 700 bitcoin was too much for you. Still, the door will stay open to you to return to the flock, upon repayment of your debts.

Seriously, why the theft, the lies, the mockery, the abject self sabotage ? Do you wish to accomplish nothing with your life, content with wallowing in whatever booze and drugs you can get your hands on until death finally takes you ? Only you can choose to break this cycle of decay, but it takes will, and honesty, which you had, I think.
