50 @ 1.80  Earl of Soul

I was just reading again what I posted earlier about the rules of the auction, and in the post it is stated that the bidding starts at 1.81.
Would the Earl of Soul like to revise his bid?

-  MORNING NEWS - For inmediately Voicing to the commoners, Parchment Delivery to all the Noble Houses and Personal Presentation to HM The King  -


Today, on 1528, Lord Paulson Esq. Announces the creation of his first corporation, named Athena Building Company (ticker: ABC).

From the Codex Wikipedicus (A copy can be found in the Royal Library and on Metropolis Bookstore at (1-K8 ):

Athena (/əˈθiːnə/ or Athene)  was the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill in ancient Greek religion and mythology.

We thought that no better name can be chosen to portrait the features that we want to pursue in this game.

ABC will be mostly a retail corporation, focusing on land development and monetizing the usage of it. At this stage, Lord Paulson is just too busy to start a wealth management service for external players. However, those who chooses to participate on this first incorporation will have privileged announcements of his future developments.

ABC will start with two projects, one already working and another in progress.

The Village Hotel .- A well known 4 quadrats midclass hotel placed facing the Village Hotel (1-V13,) , generating a daily income of about 2.5 Millions, responsibly managed and with huge potential for growth once the Village is hustling with business.

The East Village Hotel.- 4 quadrats purchased just in 2-B1, in the central chapelry of the new Borough, which is planned for construction in a few days, which will in turn realize several dozen millions of added value to the ABC company.

The appraised value of the two holdings, minus the long term mortgage due in a few decades of The Village, leaves a consevative valuation of 500 millions.

The structure for this IPO is the following.

ABC is going to be divided on 50 shares of 10 million moneritos initial value each. The purpose of the operation is to provide to serious investors a way to store his money in a safe asset, dividend bearing and hassle free managed product.

From those 50, 22 are bound to Lord Paulson, and 8 are held by Freeman Tefer, who is going to help me on the periodic shareholder meetings and has contributed with the stipulated amount of moneritos in a private transaction.

The remaining 20 shares are for sale to general public as Senior A series, consisting in just Four slots of 5 shares each, not divisible, at 50 million per package (10 million per stock).

Dividends: This will be paid directly in moneritos to the accounts of the Series A owners once each 10 days (years in this stage of the game, months later, but always 10 RL days)
The guaranteed dividend for this first term will be 0.80% APR, Starting in 1530. Each dividend payment letter will also inform about the projected next dividend for the next term.

To make an example, this first term a Series A owner of 5 shares will receive on 1540 the sum of 4,000,000 moneritos.

Any excess profits will be stored in a public ledger on the corporation webpage/tab for all to see. Its worth to note that, if the IPO is successful, ABC will be debt-free so the potential for new projects, acquisitions and developments that enhance the share value is remarkable. Of course, any major movement will be announced and consulted to every Senior shareholder, although the executive decisions are left for now in the hands of Lord Paulson as CEO.


THE AUCTION

From now on until Friday at 16:00 GMT, or the sold out of the options, the bidding for the Series A package will be open.

Open slots of 5 Series A shares:

1-

Hello my gracious friends. I come hoping that fortune favours you on this fine day, and also bearing news of our online playable version. Rapid progress is being made, and I would like to briefly show off the main city screen -

You will note the quadrat highlighted in the second image - lots are highlighted as you mouse over them, allowing you to select a lot and get information on it (this is currently at a quadrat level at the moment).

More details to come, and as soon as we have a few more pieces in place we'll open it up as a testbed for everyone to mess around and break it before we make the permanent switch over to it.

Great work!

The New Grand

The Grand Hotel was a forerunner in 1468, being the first to offer ***** hotel services in the Old Town. We commemorate this 60th anniversary by announcing that The New Grand will be opened in the 2 borough!

The plans are still very tentative, but 12 quadrats of land opening to several directions has been procured at the very center. Soon the kingdom-famous service, food and accommodation will be available to the Quarry top directors and visitors also


Services pool complete rehaul

We have received information that due to the modular nature of the coming online version, it is easy to implement the long-awaited change of having many service pools for different services. This will mean that all services currently offered by the Lots (for services, as well as servants, are tied to Lots) are listed and thoroughly analysed. After the chance, updating the parameters will be easy and they will instantly affect the distribution. Also upon the change of ownership of a Lot, the services and servants will move automatically.

Roopatra is in charge of the job, and is accepting tips, so we will start by giving 25 million from the royal coffers towards the endeavour. (If others show their goodness of heart also, Roopatra please do the transactions unless the donator otherwise indicates.) This donation is paid.


Message from the Quarries

The workers are disgruntled that their wages have been dropping in their preferred currency, while staying the same in moneretos. This is indeed shameful, but we avoided a strike (and a wholesale raise of wages) by promising that the 2-C will soon develop services, where the money can be squandered, without the need to take it home and see the miserably bad exchange rate. They are satisfied for now, but the pressures to raise the wages remain with both the quarry workers, the soldiers, and the domestic servants, unless the exchange rate improves.

Next year there will be no questions nor changes to quarry inputs, so please do your changes now (in about 1 hour).


Land for sale in 2-C

The price of land in 2-C has dropped in dutch auction to 40 mil/q. The path to the lots goes between the "large lot" and the street-facing lots and is marked white. The LDC and the cashback both apply. The ones who bought the street-facing lots may be interested in selling if you want street access.


New Player Starter Kit PRE-ANN

The town council decided that we want to have a constant influx of new players. We devised a Starter Kit, to be marketed to the mainly existing XMR owners/BCT users. It combines the 3 compelling reasons why to play the game:

- Support XMR
- Have fun
- Possibility for gain/leverage.

The kit is a checklist where you can pick to your liking:
- Long bonds that pay back double
- Generic mutual fund shares (if such can be constructed in time)
- Gold
- Houses in Village (L6)
- New houses in NE (L10)
- budget houses in 2. borough (if such can be constructed in time)
- Wealth manager included.

One XMR payment takes you to the game and gives you a stake of choice assets.

Mistress Asenath has increased the productivity of RAQ Quarry x10 in only two years of management.  It is now second only to the NLQI in production capacity moving from last place to second place.  This is an unprecedented opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Quarry and there are more shares available in this auction than are even owned by Asenath herself.
If these were horses running a track, RAQ has sprinted past all others in only the time this auction has been running.  Congratulations to the bidders.

As the Baron knows, there's the idea of having a Mutual Fund that could be used to sell the newcomers a portfolio of game assets in an effortless and liquid way. This is definitely a good candidate for that also - we haven't checked the pricing but if the Prince of NL and the Earl of North Face are willing to buy, it cannot be far from realistic

More about it in the Council today..

Town Council announcement: Dividends on Gold

In accordance with the old Royal custom, the Royal Guard and the Constabulary of the Town are arranged in ranks in the Platform of the Royal Palace. The herald opens a scroll and cries:

"The town has reached its centennial goal and decided that, 70 years in advance compared to the rules, it will start to distribute monetary dividends to goldholders. The dividends will be distributed every 7th year, which will be called Sabbatical.

1/3 of the town surplus will be distributed to goldholders, 1/2 will be deposited in the Development Fund, and 1/6 will stay for the next Sabbatical round. All income will be treated equally regardless of source, except if the Town sells bonds, those proceeds will be 100% deposited to the Development Fund, to ensure that borrowed money is not distributed as dividends. (400 years into the future, a certain Charles Ponzi developed such a scheme but we do not admire his construction.)

The scroll is rolled back, and all the crowds stand silent, until a rolling applause starts from the Noble hearers, and spreads like a wildfire to everyone. It seems like the sun has risen and has no plan to set.
