New Wines, Spirits and new IC conversion table

RON 10,000 exist -- Town has answered the pleas of the RUM-thirsty citizens. The last time rum came to town was in 1604 as a result of the endeavors of explorer groups led by HH SirJacket and (then) Marquess of Tavastia. Now as a result of skilled negotiation, this entry-level RON is available at a very affordable price as follows (tax paid):
* 5000 units will be sold in a manually operated Dutch auction in the following 72 hours starting at 200k and going no lower than 150k regardless of the possible lack of bids
* when the auction ends, all Town asks will be cleared and reset so that 1000 units will be offered at the approximate midprice of the units sold during the auction and 1000 units always at 10k higher so that all are put into the market in a ladder-like formation.

W1615P  Port Wine 10,000 exist -- Since it is unusual to get our hands on this sweet wine, it will be sold in the similar fashion as RON (tax paid):
* 8000 units will be sold in a manually operated Dutch auction in the following 72 hours starting at 120k and going no lower than 40k regardless of the possible lack of bids
* when the auction ends, all Town asks will be cleared and reset so that 1000 units will be offered at the approximate midprice of the units sold during the auction and 1000 units always at 10k higher so that all are put into the market in a ladder-like formation.
* Owners of COH will get 1*W1615P as a special gift since King said that Port Wine is the natural accompaniment with quality cigars.

W1618W  White Wine 6,000 exist -- Germanian growers have labored to bring about a quite voluminous yet moderate quality vintage that is given to the owners of S-WW.


IC conversions in 1619 (conversions will be in force for 6*24 hours starting from next midnight UTC)

IC consumes 100 and more at a time => ART (contact Syksy to have it new&created)

All IC divisible by 30 => TS161 as previously (last time this item is available - Mooo will create automatically)

Other sums of IC => 25*CIG per IC. NOTE: CIG will have import tax of 10,000 m/CIG which will be collected from all owners of CIG after the conversion period. To credit the tax to current owners, CIG has been given a dividend of 10,000 m - Mooo is responsible for conversion)


Other GM announcements

France is having problem with the wine, some fungus or something. We did not get anything to IC-convert and will tell when the situation changes.

List will be amended shortly.

Dear all,

besides making ART, BEER and writing some guide-drafts (maybe somebody even remembers https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=819073.msg13141509#msg13141509 ), I've been working on the graphical interface to look at CK's offer history. I've now deployed a (free server) prototype at:
https://ckjester.shinyapps.io/Shiny

There are some fatal bugs still in it, and some items clog it up really bad (Beware! HM02B100 is one of these unfortunately atm), but there might already be something interesting there. It's also been a learning process to me. Feel free to test it if you find it interesting. Sadly the free server hosting is very limited and I think even simultaneous users creates issues as it is. In case this happens to take off somehow, I've created the character (corporation) "Jester Corp" to handle issues related to these tools in the future.



Some examples; this is how your offers-plot might look like on your browser when working on it:





Then, once you want something more specific, you can download a PDF version. Here's MEAT:




Okay, and since I'm in the BEER business, BEER is of course very interesting:



You can really tell the BEER business became alive upon release of Church's monopoly on BEER on 4th of December (post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=819073.msg13150346#msg13150346 ). (The buy orders for example here are really skewed by otila who wants to buy 1 million units of beer for 1 monereto each, thus dire need for customizations in these plots...)

In both MEAT and BEER you actually notice a funny weekend effect - since the Consumer has to fulfill quota by the end of the week, you can see quite a hike every time there's a quota to be reported *cough cough*; for example, Dec 13th; and the rise by 18th (didn't have time to parse the database further yet to this weekend).

The current database spans couple weeks of offers for buy/sale. Hope you find the tool prototype interesting!






EDIT: Little cherry on the top, here's also CONsol development over the past couple weeks:

Great work Syksy.

I have another great announcement to make.

introducing...AUTOMATIC DEPOSITS!

XMR deposits to Crypto Kingdom will now be credited INSTANTLY after payment is received. This will soon be changed to after 10 confirmations received, but for now enjoy INSTANT payments!

Nothing else has changed, send XMR to the same deposit address and payment ID as usual. If you have forgotten this info, or you never had a payment ID, just PM me to receive yours.

Enjoy the new 24/7 deposit service!

Much thanks to the strength of the CK Ultima API.

There was a request for character management on IRC. Is there a list of managers? If not, I'll start one on the CK reddit so it's easy to find and update.

Royal Holiday Fund Reminder!

Here is a list of tasks to complete. I took out the tasks that require either P.J. or HM. So on this list are things that anyone can help with. This is a vital part to getting the game ready to receive new players.

1. Chapelry wallpapers installed. Currently SirJacket and Noms are working on these, if you want to help, contact one of them.

2. A start page with intro text, links to wiki, links to bitcointalk forum and IRC. //PJ: you have options to create those pages, using internal wiki. Just create new page and call it CK Landing page and I will put its content to home.

3. Wiki pages with useful content. We have FAQ by Mooo and Health Challenge guides by Roo, what else do we need? If you have an idea, just do it.

4. Putting CK theme song to play on the background when Ultima is open. We already have a theme song ready made, here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1144860.msg12735080#msg12735080

This is a short list of what can be done right now by anyone interested, rewards are in form of pure gold coins from the Holiday Fund. Other tasks are waiting for further confirmation from PJ or HM.

The Marquess of Naoned wishes to offer James Daniel two BF1500Y, for a total of 50 CKG.
The Marquess isn't sure if he must execute a command in game or if an admin will do it, though.

I made one of those, but I could not save it, save button was borked. I'll try again soon, hopefully fixed

Either you enter a give command (give BF1500Y 2 JamesDaniel) or an admin can execute a transfer command, which I will do just now since it appears nobody did it yet.

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:

71 such NPCs were sent the their fate, with 69 shares to show for it.

B.22 Conversion in 1619

AS the oldtimers know, the Town and King share the proceeds of land sales so that Town is required to pay 4.5 bil to King for each new Borough. This has actually happened re: B.2, B.3, B.5, B.6 and B.8. Old Town was property of the King but he gave most of it away for free directly, and the rest was sold by Town. B.4 is such poor land that the obligation was waived. In B.7 the King wanted to redeem the land for himself so actually needed to pay Town 4.5 bil to get the land that was his all the time. In B.9 the King probably forgot to collect but that is too old to find out..

But since B.22 needs to be redeemed, the conversion in 1619 is cold, hard cash. Please do as follows:

- Pay Resta (#76) however many shares you are interested in redeeming:

15 mil => 1 share
35 mil => 2 shares
60 mil => 3 shares
90 mil => 4 shares
125 mil => 5 shares
165 mil => 6 shares
210 mil => 7 shares
260 mil => 8 shares
315 mil => 9 shares
375 mil => 10 shares.

Note that 10 shares is the maximum allowed conversion.

We are moving to system where the conversions deadline is 24 hours before year change ie. Saturday 23:59 UTC.

Smooth QC (Brewery) report, dividend

We have repeated last week's dividend with 15762 per share paid out. Conditions in the BEER market remain largely unchanged.

210 mil => 7 shares
260 mil => 8 shares
315 mil => 9 shares
375 mil => 10 shares.

Note that 10 shares is the maximum allowed conversion.

can I pay Resta 15 mil 10 times so I can get 10 shares at a whoooping 150 mil?
