How do I go about gaining online access to my character to either recover my character or probate my character's estate as the case may be.

Thanks

SirJacket should be able to send you the credentials.

I sent you 100 CAN (green herbs), they should come in handy if you wish to use them for the yearly health challenge.

Just enter "CONSUME CAN 100" in the Agora Marketplace command line. 

Thank you. I am in and figured out how most of the commands work. As for the health challenge my character is maxed out for eating and drinking already.

Maybe it's your health manager who was helping.

Liabilities and Equity

Book value = 984k/share

I've updated the financials a bit with some better estimates of asset values show above, resulting in a book value estimate of 0.984m/share. The current auction bids are still just 0.5m/share so this seems like a very attractive deal, independent of the new brewery opportunities.

Operations will commence immediately upon closing of the auction, as we have already agreed to purchase a suitable facility.

As there will be no shortage of working capital, our initial dividend policy will be to distribute all operating profit from the sale of the beer. This may be revised as conditions dictate.

Bidding will remain open until 2015-12-12, 21:00:00 UTC

Auction for a magnificent level 9 gold unicorn

It is with much sadness in his heart that Quaid, realizing that his health was declining due to his small means, resolved to sell his most prized possession. Indeed, many a high ranking noble would do... almost anything to have in their possession that most magnificent of beasts, a fully trained gold unicorn.

Determined to not let this heartache be in vain, Quaid sets a minimum price of 30mil, with the tacit understanding that a worthy price lies much higher, and proclaims the auction will end on monday evening, at 21 GMT, as many a town inhabitant already comes to admire the noble animal following Quaid with a majestic step.

Note that this auction automatically becomes null and void if the player behind Quaid contacts us to claim his character before the end of the auction.

Smooth QC (brewery) secondary offering results

The secondary offering is complete. Congratulations to all the winning bidders, the other stockholders of Smooth QC, and the entire community. We raised over one billion moneritos to fund the build out of the brewery, provide working capital, and reserve additional funds for potential future expansion.

The brewery has already started operation and has sold some of this week's production. Beer production and sales will continue, with dividends paid weekly. The current plan is to pay 100% of operating profits from the brewery as dividends.

Reminder: If you placed buy orders on S-SQC as auction bids, please remove them.

Until bidders have had a chance to do this, please do not trade.

I'm trying to see if an admin can cancel all the orders on that item, but I haven't found one online yet. Apparently not possible.

You can by selling into the bids and taking advantage that bids don't get reinstated when you cancel the transaction--just a pain with so many bids unless you have a bunch of shares. Though I doubt anyone would sell into those bids anyway as there wouldn't be much profit to be made versus future dividends.

How did such a lowly character gain such a valuable beast?

[MoneroMooo]

How did such a lowly character gain such a valuable beast?

I don't know the story behind it.
However, there is a tantalizing glimpse in the description of the riding gear that belongs to Quaid:

Captured in battle as per thread Allegedly stolen from the Duke of NL

One would need to perform thread archeology to find out more

Auction for a magnificent level 9 gold unicorn

Due to an uncertainty on how the unicorn was originally created, the auction is suspended. Once we know more, it will either be resumed, or cancelled.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

I successfully passed all health challenges so far by having them saying "None". However my overall health went from "Good" to "Decent". How so?
Are there several layers of None? Is None not really None?

There is still the factor of age to consider. Perhaps even if you decimate your health challenge to none, you are still not immune from the eventual decline of health due to aging.

Towards 1618

The game is moving to its 4th year with a health challenge. During these years, many improvements have been added and bugs ironed out. Most recent nice feature is the Favorite Items on top of the Agora categories listing. You can add your own favorites by clicking the stars in any listings, and the new items will automatically appear there regardless of their item type, so you always have the chance to acquire them.

All usual Year Change procedures have been carried out.


IC spent in 1618 will go to:

- sums divisible with 30 -> 4*TS161 silver coin 12 CKS, per each 30 IC (+town coin) note CS1618E 5 CKS is for sale by Coinshop at 1.05 mil

- sums 100IC or more, not divisible by 30 ==> Creation of new Works of Art according to your specification (see below)

- sums less than 100IC, and not divisible by 30 ==> 12*W1616 wine per IC

It is finally possible to create Works of Art (ART-xx items). Rules are as follows:
- K7 = 100*IC, K8 = 200*IC, K9 = 500*IC, K10 = 1000*IC (you basically decide how magnificent the piece is)
- Default year is 1618 but backdating is possible. Backdating may go to earliest 1600, and costs 3% per year compounded (base_ic_cost*1.03^(current_year-item_year). If you are seeking to create an early-1600 ART item, it makes sense to do it asap since 3% per week is an excellent return on investment and it will just get more and more expensive in the future. Items dated 1599 and earlier are Ancient and new ones may never be created.
- Admins will create these unique items for you.

Only 21 ART exist in the whole Kingdom! Make yours!


Borough 22 is forming. Already 53 * S-B22 have been given out based on the last week's challenge (SCI). Check the thing out from the Challenge OP.

Now, what we seek are human sacrifices. The challenge to integrate a connecting borough to the town is much greater than just starting a freestanding one. Everyone consuming high-class NPC to be permanently part of the project, will get the payoff in S-B22 shares according to the following table. One PC may consume only one of each type of NPC:

- Anyone in level N7 or higher, 1 * S-B22
BUT-7
CHEF-3
MAJ
MGR-3
SPE-3
BUT-8
CHEF-4
LTC
MGR-4
SPE-4
BUT-9
CHEF-5
COL
MGR-5
SPE-5
- The following NPC in other levels, 1 * S-B22
AR-3
ASS-3
BUT-4
COOK-3
MSG
BUT-5
BUT-6
SPE-2

So it is possible to get maximum 23 shares if you consume one of each. The challenge should be easy for admin (Moneromooo) since the manual resolution involves having a PC:NPC matrix with only 2 possible states for each cell. The attempt to cheat by consuming several of the same will be detected and will have no benefit.

Building is Coming!


RWWC has produced a lot of windows to stock and decided the price of WIRS to be lowered to 160k. This is not that much more than building a solid wall of stone btw...

But not only that, to get the ball rolling and lift themselves out of the cashflow crisis, a batch of 5000*WIRS can be had for as low as 140k, and another 5000 is listed at 150k!! (WIRS in item_type WIN). (For a normal-nice building, you need 200-500 WIRS per 1,000 sqm, and building 1,000 sqm costs you 300-500 mil.)


The building labor also does not want to be without work. They are enlisting themselves for work as follows: 1 * S-BLD item costs 10 mil and they can be bought from Labor (S-BLD in item_type ST). Every year that Building is not enabled, the prepaid labor will increase in value by 2%. Starting from the year after the Building is enabled, the unused S-BLD will decrease in value by 2% annually. So if you are anxious of waiting for Building to start, why not lock-in a 2% per week until your wish is fulfilled, kind a win-win, no? 

[Syksy]

It is finally possible to create Works of Art (ART-xx items). Rules are as follows:
- K7 = 100*IC, K8 = 200*IC, K9 = 500*IC, K10 = 1000*IC (you basically decide how magnificent the piece is)

Items dated 1599 and earlier are Ancient and new ones may never be created.
- Admins will create these unique items for you.

Syksy has consumed 232 pieces of IC to create the following piece of ART-23 to retrospectively commemorate his raise from Master to Baron and his 40th birthday, which both occurred in the year 1613. The item was thus created for year 1613 (1618-1613 = 5) that matches with his birthday and promotion, and with level 8, thus IC:
200*(1.03)^5 = 231.8548 -> 232

Item description: "ART-23 - A Portrait of the Syyskuu Family"

"This is a painting of Baron Syksy Syyskuu in a blue suit on the eve of his 40th birthday and ennoblement in 1613. He is sitting on a bench at the Barons' Row Street, gracefully holding his pregnant wife Ester with their daughter Eleanor sitting on his lap. The street is covered with a beautiful palette of colorful autumnal leaves."




I will be happy to create such pieces for others as well, so please contact me with details if you wish to create ART-XX according to HM's instructions.

Entry from Crichton's Journal 1618 (ART-24: )

I was traveling through the lands of Reddit when I stumbled on this scamp in one of the local shops.



The shop owner told me the cat was a painting of a local breed known as Moon Shots (as you are better off trying to shoot the moon than catch one without its consent). I quickly bought it and dubbed him Luke The Moon Shot after a hero from one of my favorite childhood stories.
