I have quite a number of stone on hand; I may be interested in donating some of it to worthy projects. If there's paving that needs done, or someone has a great building idea, contact me: we can probably work out a deal of some sort.

question, how will the chars be transfered to the "real" game when its launched, so far it all exists in a single excel file, will the owners of each indivual char receive a pm with login and pass?

I believe that is most likely. The other option would be to require a virgin registration and then paste the history to these characters. But the way you described is probably simpler to do. Good that we don't have that many characters.

HE The Prince of OZ has graciously donated,

200 mil for the CK4kids and properties T23 and T24
200 mil for The University
100 mil for The Church

Hopefully the donations are well received and ensure the continuation of these important educational projects.

Edit. These have been credited to the accounts, this message is just an announcement.

where can I actually play this game?

where can I actually play this game?

Right now the game exists in the 2 databases listed in OP, this thread, in freenode IRC at ##crypto-kingdom, and in the minds of almost 100 players joined to date. The website has been in development during this startup period.

If you want to join the game just PM me with your desired character's nickname, age, sex (M/F). I will also issue a payment ID for Monero deposits, in case you would like to buy any in-game assets such as land or gold.

It is very addicting. I have been having a blast the last few days since I joined...

Allianor The Wise was thrilled about her rebirth into something else than a tasseled wobbegong - even if just into a virtual world of imagination, or perhaps specifically why - and as a lady of proper manners is willing to donate 30M moneritos of her precious savings for the University. (The intellectually privileged ones may realize this she does not just out of empathy, but also to obtain more favorable chances of sitting pretty in her planned career of occult scholar).

She buys 2200 Gold to satisfy immediate vanity needs. 921 XMR sent to the deposit address received from saddam.

We are up to 102 players now, this game keeps growing in many ways every day!

[David Latapie]

Years ago, Our Lord visited His humble servant and told him that the passing of the century shall be celebrated accordingly, to be remembered for the centuries to come.

The Great Ancient Church will complement the Cathedral. A monument to the glory of Our Lord Almighty, it will celebrate faith and wisdom and culture.

The Church is a work of devotion and the best way to show such devotion to Our Lord is for you to spend something significant. The busy man shall spend time visiting the poors and the needy. The healthy man shall work hard, the wise man shall educate his brethen, and every man shall donate moneritos, to the measure it is not a negligible part for him.

The peasant shall donate and the highest of noble too. The amount donated doesn't matter, as long as it is a sum he will feel lightening his wealth.

So were the tellings and so shall be it? The recently nominated Archdeacon Callixtus will celebrate the regular masses in this church. Any donators will be remembered in words and praise and stone.

Callixtus mentionned to me this metaphor by the friars of the Company of Theophany : if the soon-to-be completed church is like the 10 fingers of a servant, then sphericon, who donated hundred millions moneritos as soon as he learnt of the construction, is the Right Thumb of the Church. From here, one shall easily deduce how much is required for the Church to be fully funded.
For those who cannot find the result, said the archdeacon, the Company of Theophany has course of mathematics available.

Update:
210 millions moneritos have been donated to the church out of a total of... you know it
with 100 millions moneritos, sphericon is the Right Thumb of the Ancient Church
with 100 millions moneritos, saddam is the Right Index of the Ancient Church
with 10 millions moneritos, anarchy is a Right Phalange of the Ancient Church

NPC promotions

One more round is coming, and has not yet come. I don't tell when it comes to prevent gaming All Earls and higher are very much urged to get their Army company now, to be the first in line to pacify new lands when that is opened. Also scooping up other valuable NPC might not be a bad idea. The value of NPC's will not be diluted in the new game.

The Grand Hotel is offering its two Army Companies up for auction at this time...  Many of these Higher Level officers have been training for decades, even centuries!  The Grand Hotel has been supporting them for all this time and now it is time for an Earl or higher to take command.

Starting Bid - 100m
The Grand Hotel 1st Company - 9 11 Strength Points - updated after promotions

     Current Bid
     100m - Master Noms


Starting Bid - 200m
The Grand Hotel 2nd Company - 14 18 Strength Points - updated after promotions

     Current Bid
     200m - The Marquess of Soul

Note-

This company has one of only 4 Colonels in the game. The others are HH the Duke of N.L., HE the Prince of OZ and one NPC in the Royal 2nd Company.

Colonel is the 2nd-highest rank, only General ranks higher. HM is the only General.

Commissioning an Army Company means an instapromotion to L8/Knight or higher.

Auction ends in approximately 1 day

University update

The University has reached several milestones as we near the conclusion of the ancient era.

First, we most emphatically applaud and acknowledge the recent 10m and 100m donations from Master noms the Prince of Oz, and of course once again the extremely generation donations from The Marquess of Soul (henceforth honored by naming the main building the "Marquess of Soul Center") and Duke of New Liberty (henceforth honored by the naming the main courtyard the "Duke of New Liberty Courtyard") and many other generous donations during the ancient era.

In these last years we announce the appointment of the Prince of North Face as our new Provost. The Provost has successfully established the department of Learning and Research which includes staff donated by the Earl of Cryptoluna, on loan from Smooth QC, and acquired on the open market using rental income from our spacious main building. This department is making significant progress in the development of the Kingdom's science and culture, and we expect to grow much larger in coming years. We welcome any and all donations or loans of mid-to-high-level NPC characters.

Financially, the conclusion of the ancient era has been a success for the University. We have built both the Military Science and Main Buildings at a cost of over 2500m. Loans taken out to bridge the gap between donations and building costs have been almost entirely repaid, with just 100m now needed to be fully debt-free. In addition, the University holds 2050 CKG and an investment portfolio of over 700m in support of our research, education and cultural mission. We look forward to this solid financial footing serving as a springboard for further expansion of both facilities and activities in the future.

Onward!

The Chancellor
Earl of Cryptoluna

Is there anyway i can make more xmr with this game? Like deposit in a fund and receive interest in xmr after some months

The simplest is bank deposits, if the bank is accepting them (seems the bank has plenty of cash at the moment).

Another option is Smooth Investment Fund (listed on the CORP tab of the character DB), which offers no guarantees but seeks to invest in the best performing assets in the game. So far it has a good return, but that proves nothing.

Other options:

1. Under the current rules, a well-optimized character will earn a daily passive profit from the labor pool.

2. You could buy CKG, which pays dividends from the town surplus.

Smooth QC liquidation dividend

A special liquidation dividend of 1m per share has been distributed to the shareholders of Smooth QC.

Approximately 0.85m/share of assets remain to be liquidated and distributed, plus some ongoing rental income from the remaining office building.
