Consol Auction starts - all units subscribed at 1.66% APR - bid higher to get yours

The Consol.

Consols are a combination of bond and equity - a perpetual obligation to pay a fixed sum per year.

The Town will be having nominally 199.5 mil annual fixed positive cash flows after B.9 is auctioned to the owners. (Nominal, because some of this land is donated to the Town by the owners, to avoid paying the land tax - streets for instance. Town will accept them back, reducing the cash flow.)

The inquiries about the matters show that we the Town should proceed with the plan and issue 1,000 CON (consol) units each paying 0.1 mil per year forever. This is to sell a part of the cashflow to the market at a higher price (and lower interest) and serve as the liquid gauge for "risk-free" interest rates, and help to establish the financial branch in town.

The Town is not redeeming the consols back at any price, the only obligation is to perpetually pay them 0.1 mil per realweek. The Bank will use them as a means of current assets management, and the King will try to make markets for them. They present an excellent opportunity for anyone who wants to get interest for their XMR and support the game in the process, or for any current player to diversify from the gold holdings.

1,000 consols will be issued at the minimum price of 6.0 mil each, corresponding to the interest rate of 1.67% APR. The maximum price King is willing to buy them is 10.8 mil, corresponding to 0.93% APR. Anyone can bid in the CON auction, the minimum quantity is only 1*CON, about 10 mil. By bidding high you get the market rate. The proceeds to the town will be used for buying the B.8 and B.9 from the King at 9.0 bil.

Designer's Notes as we approach 1 year

I am a professor in economics, so the economic side of this game is very well developed, indeed better than in any other game, and in many facets better than the one perpetrated by the unholy alliance of banksters and politicians.

This does not, however, mean, that the game should or would be solely about economics and speculation. Since we have now invested quite a lot of developer time to the Agora Exchange, it is good to have something interesting to be traded there! A full-feature exchange cannot blossom fully if it is only used for the trading of unique items and lots. As Einstein has said (and as is written in gold in the south-east facade of the Hypothecary Bank in CryptoTown building in 1-E from 1512) "Compound Interest is the most Powerful Force in the Universe". The playing with interest rates is the core of many types of speculation and makes an interesting subgame.

The consols are a new type of stock-bond, and they are expected to replace the previous idea of having 50-year Town bonds in every 5 years. (We have to remind that anyone can issue bonds though, caveat emptor.) The market cap of each issue of these bonds would be too small for it to fly as a liquid speculation vehicle. Since consols are all of the same type, the market cap is also consolidated for the benefit of all.

Even less glorious but perhaps useful is the Bank's new Demand Deposit, DEP. They always cost 1 mil and you can sell them back at 0.99 mil (technical reason, and also to prevent end-of-year poaching). The interest rate is set by the Bank by commercial considerations and may be changed but the intention is to keep it very stable at somewhat lower than the consol rate. For depositors, this offers an easy way to gain guaranteed return for any funds that are not needed for a period of more than 1 realweek, for the Bank this offers a source of cheaper funds than otherwise would be obtainable, to be lent to the borrowers at a profit. (Note: In all its 93 years, the Bank has not had a terminal delinquency!)

Other items that will be active in speculative trading are the NPC. Each NPC item (40+ of them) has a certain set of annual dividends in the form of CUL, SCI and m (where the m might be negative for some types). The probability of death is constant at 5% per year for all of them and missing death this time does not cause a heightened chance of death later. The NPC have a promotion schedule, which is kept secret to add some flavor to the speculation Wink Depending on the final dividends (that are still in the balancing stage), and the interest rate applicable, some gold and silver NPC's might settle at 3-figure prices!

Other items that will be in active trade hopefully, include:
- Drinks, since more will come, earlier ones will first appreciate and then go on sale
- Fungible gold, silver and copper rounds, for collectors to gain their sets
- Horses, since the only way to upgrade yours is to sell to Fluffy Pony and buy better ones back (you don't have time to train horses, they do)
- IC and SCI points
- Building materials (stone, windows, soon: doors)
- All that the factories, businesses and monopolies produce (suits, carriages, soon: much more)
- Stocks in the Companies, of course! Smiley

We have the strong feeling that despite the game seeming to morph into one big market, it is a necessary step in this stage of the development, and that the Ultima platform / Agora Market will be very powerful, and overall we are doing great!

The next (real)year will be the time to add playable content that as much exceeds anyone's imagination as the financial/speculative content in the first year has exceeded!

Boroughs B.8 and B.9 opened - surprise move


It is easier to do things in batches, and since we have good time now with Ultima still in testing/development due to the exchange featurecreep (it is totally in control though, as lengthily explained in the previous post Wink ), and everyone who cares has made the calculations for buying land, why not auction them away now!

The price for B.8 chapelries started at 1,500 mil and goes to 1,000 (in 50 hours) and stays there.
The price for B.9 chapelries started at 800 mil and goes to 10 (in 79 hours), after which the unsold chapelries are taken off the market for rethink.

The land in B.9 is as good as anywhere, as is the location. The land carries a slight 700 m/sqm/year extra tax, which makes it interesting to value. (The proceeds of this tax are used in the consol payments, as both are perpetual opposite cashflows in the same currency). There is no risk to the buyer - it is always possible to walk away from any land (give it to the Town) to cancel the payment of tax. The amount of extra tax may not be raised (obviously).

As B.9 comes to the market, it likely offers a whole new price range for luscious private houses, since the cost of construction is going down, and land downpayment will be only a fraction of what it is costing in other boroughs (in small lots typically 25-150 mil/q, now: ?)

RWWC's stock of WIRS windows is down to 941 and they are sold at 0.280 mil each! (Roopatra is liquidating her stock of 67*WIRS at 0.260 so please reset the RWWC order when you buy the Roop ones).
RWWC has decided that from next year, window price will be slashed to 0.250 mil. (The long term goal used to be 0.140 but the management is so drunk with monopoly profits that a more likely scenario is that price will be inched down very slowly, with a new excuse every year such as "XMR/USD price is down.." etc and 0.140 being reached asymptotically at best).

EDIT: There is an unwritten agreement that raw land may not be levied any tax if it is not stipulated upon initial sale. Only B.9 has extra tax of 700 m/land-sqm/year, and 1-SE has 7,000 m/land-sqm/year. It was tried to be levied in 3-SW as a figure between the above, but the chapelry did not reach bid in the 1540-50s and was converted to a normal chapelry, later sold to the Marquess of Soul and then to NewCorp. It is still unquarried. There was an economic crisis peaking in 1550, but now we are booming and lightly taxed land is selling hot!

Everything except haws are subject to Land tax (building tax), which the borough administration (currently none, since all boroughs are directly administered by the Town via sheriffs) may set at will. It is currently only 1,000 m/build-sqm/year in all boroughs, corresponding to about 3% of the building yield.

There are no other costs from land and/or buildings. We were about to start the Army guarding cost and also had the gardener/cleaninglady cost in the 1450-1599, but both have been scrapped now for simplicity so enjoy almost tax-free land and buildings! Smiley

Boroughs B.8 and B.9 opened - surprise move


Because of this, the Prince of OZ and Marquess Noms have decided to purchase the chapelry 9-N, as it is nicely positioned close to the road to borough 3 and has some very nice mining potential.

This is adding to our other two new chapelry purchases, 6-E and 6-NE.  We are slowly building an empire Cheesy

In addition, The Marquess has offered to pitch in the 30m to pave the road from borough 9 -> 3 so that it is easy for all to get there. The plans to build are already forming in our minds...

In addition, The Marquess has offered to pitch in the 30m to pave the road from borough 9 -> 3 so that it is easy for all to get there. The plans to build are already forming in our minds...

The town clerks were quick to charge the 30 mil which is already in the SSP...

As for the road, it is 300 m long and the north end is a (shamefully unpaved) 20 m wide boulevard (neglected by the M. of WC himself).

The road between 1-3 is 20 m wide so that the cross section is 2-3-10-3-2 (bold is paved, normal text gardened).
The road between 1-5 is 30 m wide as follows: 5-20-5.
In between 5-7, the road is 40 m wide (except that nobody uses it since King has sealed B.7 with a 4 m high wall with no gates - he also did pay for the road himself btw. as well as the San Pietro road.. It takes time for the trees to grow so it's good to act quickly when planting, and building can happen later...): 10-20-10.

The other connector roads are 8-10 m wide paved only.

The minimum width for something to be called a street is 8 m (although historically almost always 10 m); a paved way 4-7 m wide is a lane. 1-3 m is an alley. A boulevard requires trees on both sides of the carriageway as in the 1-3 road (aptly named just "Boulevard" as it was the first of its kind in 1510-1560 when it was constructed piecemeal), and the carriageway should not be less than 8 m wide. Pedestrian walkways on the other side of the trees are optional but belong to the good practice and also allow the trees to grow bigger without obstructing the buildings. Esplanade refers to an impressive road with at least 20 m park in between the carriageways. Since these are one-way, 5 m is the required minimum paved width, but more is often had for show.

The cost to build a 1-m slice of paved road 300 m long is 30,000 stone + 0.72 mil in labor.
For a 1-m slice of park, 1.5 mil in labor only.
For a 1-m high, 1-m wide pedestal (added effect and may keep in better condition), 0.9 mil extra. A higher pedestal than 1 m is possible but may pose issues later when the buildings are constructed - or perhaps the half-basement comes in fashion... High pedestals cannot end abruptly, they require a stone wall for a right angle, or can be maximum 45° inclined on their own weight.

The stone for paving a connector road can be taken from either of the boroughs at no transport cost.

Hope this helps, your magnificence, in your planning. It goes without saying that once you pay all the costs, the road may be named after your wish as well! Smiley


PS. In town, the sums involved in road construction may sound trivial. But between towns, it is a real effort to build even a 3-m wide (narrowest possible for a cart/carriage) paved road: 30 km of such road costs 9 million stone + the associated labor.

Royal Gifts

It has been our custom since 1450 (well, that one time) to gift a Royal Purple suit to the most distinguished members of the society. Then, the suit was gifted to:
Marquess (now: Duke) NewLiberty
Earl d'Armagnac (now: HG The Bishop, M. d'Armagnac) David Latapie
Earl (now: Prince) of Forte Spagnolo

Now, to celebrate the opening of the North Face Tailors (and our renewed capability to procure the best workmanship in royal purple color!) we will gift:
WOS-134 to His Highness of North Face
WOS-132 to HSH Karl Hungus, The Prince of OZ
WOS-133 to HE Dr. Choo, The Prince Paul of Soul

All the suits are meticulously made, with gold thread and silver jewelry and ornamentation. They are gifted whole, with all the gold and silver in them included. The right to wear them (sounds funny but important to note, as it does not automatically follow if the suit changes owner even by inheritance) is granted as well. The right to wear royal purple is limited to occasions where His Majesty The King or his High Ambassador, High Envoy, or Charge d'Affaires is present wearing royal purple (practically in the occasions where the recipient is the High something, ordained by the King.

All the gifts are accompanied with a bottle of Silver Water 1, the choicest, rarest, most expensive and potentially the most healthy drink in existence.

To not forget the original recipients from 155 years back, they are gifted a bottle of CLXII each.

The Marquess of Rome, the Earl of Grass, Sir Riddick, Dr. SS, and zrue are also gifted a bottle of CLXII.

In addition, The Marquess has offered to pitch in the 30m to pave the road from borough 9 -> 3 so that it is easy for all to get there. The plans to build are already forming in our minds...

As for the road, it is 300 m long and the north end is a (shamefully unpaved) 20 m wide boulevard (neglected by the M. of WC himself).

The road between 1-3 is 20 m wide so that the cross section is 2-3-10-3-2 (bold is paved, normal text gardened).

[snip]

Hope this helps, your magnificence, in your planning. It goes without saying that once you pay all the costs, the road may be named after your wish as well! Smiley


PS. In town, the sums involved in road construction may sound trivial. But between towns, it is a real effort to build even a 3-m wide (narrowest possible for a cart/carriage) paved road: 30 km of such road costs 9 million stone + the associated labor.

The Marquess looked at the street and realized that he had overlooked this, and it was a sad sight to behold.  Especially given that almost every building/lot has now been purchased by other characters, it would be a travesty if he didn't landscape it.  Now, the entire main street in 3-S has been updated to have a pavement of 2m and gardened area of 3m on each side. This surrounds a 10m road. It is truly a nice place to walk and should help increase the value of the buildings within.

He also paved the same way all the way to borough 9, for a total project cost of over 500k stone and 50m!

Below is an example of what the street looks like:


Monero.

Royal Gifts


Now, to celebrate the opening of the North Face Tailors (and our renewed capability to procure the best workmanship in royal purple color!) we will gift:
WOS-134 to His Highness of North Face

All the suits are meticulously made, with gold thread and silver jewelry and ornamentation. They are gifted whole, with all the gold and silver in them included. The right to wear them (sounds funny but important to note, as it does not automatically follow if the suit changes owner even by inheritance) is granted as well. The right to wear royal purple is limited to occasions where His Majesty The King or his High Ambassador, High Envoy, or Charge d'Affaires is present wearing royal purple (practically in the occasions where the recipient is the High something, ordained by the King.

Wow - Thank you for the gracious gift.  I was just admiring the 1st Royal Purple Suits last year during their construction, never thinking that it would be possible to own or even have the opportunity to wear such a beautiful masterpiece.  I look forward to wearing it soon!
