Crypto Kingdom - 1991 Retro Virtual World(City)

[MoneroMooo]

The Cryptotown bailliff is here this week

The bailiff is going to be conducting checks on townspoeple, and hereby warns everyone that these will be performed in september, leaving everyone a few months to ensure the bylaws of the kingdom are respected.

Oyez! Oyez!

The bailliff has finally got around to making his final checks, having completely forgot about his task, while sleeping it off in a gutter in borough 9.

Once recovered enough, and content to have left much time for people to get their affairs in order, he still found the following people to be in contravention to the Town bylaws:

Knight Martti, for distilling illegal alcohol: 1 mil
Lord Thud and Lord Copper, for walking around stark naked, scaring pigs and children: 10mil

It seems the regulations are followed more closely now, this being totally not due to only checking part of the population, and the bailliff is pleased enough to head back to borough 9 in search of another watering hole.

All the townspeople in CryptoTown, who are in good standing


It pleases us (our clan of Paul Sr. and Paul Jr.) to announce that the construction of the Principal Palace of Soul (builders' nickname Marble and Glass Palace) in 7-SE is completed.

At the age of 276, it is the time to fulfil the dreams and visions of the youth, for who knows the end of his days. My brother, our loving father of three centuries, passed away without seeing his royal seat in its glory (missing it by barely 4 years to his sorrow).

Background

Rpietila I bought Versailles borough from the Town for 9,000 mil in about 1560. In 1620s, it was allocated to be haws for the most prominent nobles. (Haw means that the land is void of Building tax.) The lots were large, and given for free. Only the following rules were laid out:
- In 5 years since the Building module opens, there must be a building with (floor area > lot area). This 5 years started this month, therefore will end in December 1642.
- Building must conform to a set of rules, which were then left open but can now be disclosed:

* Usage=Residence (King has allocated his own = Villa so that will probably work out as well, as long as something is designated Residence)
* Minimum 80% (0.80) lux, though 100% earns favor (there is no maximum, the average in Versailles is 300% but it's pricey and degenerates faster)
* Minimum 3 m height, though 4 m earns favor (higher is completely ok but typically the average is no more than 5 m since auxiliaries are less high)
* Most Elaborate finish (Very is ok )
* The lots lining the street should have copper roof, in the circles up to the builder
* Maximum roofline 25 m (Versailles main body is only 18 m so it's not intended that subjects raise too much above the King)

The lot graciously allocated to Soul is a 1992 sqm Princes' Circle 1 (7-SE-P1) facing south-west over the 42 m diameter gardened rotunda called Princes' Circle. It is about 100 meters from Cour d'Honneur, the main square in front of Versailles and the largest square in town.

Planning phase

When designing, it is good to have an idea of the purpose of the building and approximate budget. It is possible to build very dense in a small lot, nothing is stopping you, but this might not be the most profitable option. Building sparse makes usually a better percentage payoff and building low lasts much longer than highrises.

Luckily the constraints are so strict in this project that it is possible to make a testimony instead of money. (Residence/Villa does not anyway produce money, rather produces CUL+IC at a favorable rate, for which reason their number is restricted to one each per char).

Soul has seen fantastic marble architecture in his travels to the orient, and knows the Rossiyan palace construction style as well. Unlike the King with his Versailles, which is outside just like any (huge) upscale residential block in Paris or stone palace just about anywhere, Soul seeks to have the building impressive from the outside as well as in. 2,000 sqm needs to be filled, and also some garden is sought.

Because of the need for certain interiors to be high, room height of 5 m is selected. The exterior is so demanding that Very Elaborate is the only possible option (and even that cannot guarantee a marble facade throughout, for the import of stone by cart is just so slow).

Number of floors is selected 4 to allow also enough gardenspace. It is allowed to make a shopfront but in this case it is not fitting for the style nor commercially viable. It is planned that King will make a shopfront in the North Wing and the palaces lining the Cour or Champs-Élysées might benefit from it (in densely pedestrianised areas, it does the double duty to raise the main usage higher from the noise, and bring in extra income).

The building is not 4 floors throughout, and has a sprawling appearance with wings and arcades. The control "footprint id" is for taking these into account. The control takes some time to understand, so what better than take the time now:

The floor area is calculated as (Lot area * footprint_id * #floors).

The maximum 0.65 means that the construction style we are using due to the quality of our stone, requires 35% of the area enclosed by the walls to be used for the wide exterior and interior stone walls. So if you have this selected, your building will fill the lot completely with not a square left out. This is viable if the lot is lined by streets in all 4 directions, but that is not too often. Suppose you have a 20x20 m lot and you leave even 2 m breathing space to each side - this causes the building to take only 16*16 m and its floor area to be 16^2*0.65 = 166 sqm ! Since the lot area was 400 sqm, this rounds to the nearest option of 0.4 footprint. If there are several floors, the upper floors might be smaller in floor area, might have terraces, might have double-height etc. All these take more away from the footprint ratio. When selecting footprint, try to design the building to the lot so that it actually fits in there! You will soon be required to do it, and woe to those whose lot is filled to the brim and windows staring hermetically at the walls of the neighbors!

Construction

The final parameters and their results are as follows:


Once you click "Save Building", if you have all the materials ready, it will not say a word but present you the new Lot view:


Final Discussion

The footprint ended up 0.35, which provides for adequate sprawl and variety in the building. The southern tip of the lot, 550 sqm is defined to be Yard in addition, so that all south-facing windows (and there are many!) would not have anything to block the sun.

Floor area, 2016 sqm, is just above the mandated. Initially it was the intention to have a few more, but the ballooning amount of BLD caused this last minute adjustment plus the lux was revised to 225% (originally 250%). The cost itself was not the issue, it is the availability of BLD - Soul felt that it is unfair to spend them all.

Sloping roof was selected for the style mainly, anything except copper would have fitted this particular one. Sloping provides some reduction in the repair depreciation, which is good because the facade is Very Elaborate, and it is not possible to repair the structure without rebuilding the facade. So it makes sense to try to delay the renovation. 4 floors is already a higher depreciation than 3 (Versailles) would have been.

WIRL windows and a lot of them (0.5) give the building an airy appearance and the halls inside bathe in light.

116,184 BLD is in the top end of the scale, being almost 6,000 BLD/sqm.
The amount of M comes solely from lux (being only half of the lux, the other being a subitem in BLD)
The windows are automatically consumed as is everything else, but their price is not included in the calculations because of so many types. Soul selected the best type of which 1,008 units was possible to be acquired, WIRL.

The total cost including windows ended up in the 900,000 m/sqm range. Building is somewhat cheaper now than in the historical times when monumental buildings easily surpassed 1 mil/sqm.

The return in the form of CUL+IC is calculated to be 4.3%, which is not in the high end, but not at all bad for a building completely designed for its owner's pleasure.

Jubilee to the Dead Ancients

We are sorry for the ancients that have died and not chosen to start a new character due to the early stage of the game development which requires pioneering spirit and dedication.

The game is now better than ever, both technically, and in fun aspect, and number of players, and economically, so to celebrate the Coronation in 1640, the following proclamation is made:

We are moving to Clans, which subordinates a Player Character to a larger entity called Clan, which is the complete extent of the player's empire and economy. This will allow richer gameplay with less mandatory micromanagement (optional micromanagement is endless, for those who enjoy ).

If you re-join the game with a new character now (it is possible in any age in the registration), and prove reasonably that you were the owner of a dead and withdrawn historical character, you will get the following:

- Your clan_id will be reset to the most ancient char_id you possessed
- Your level will be promoted to the highest level possessed by the ancestor
- The anciety of the clan will be counted from the patriarch.
- Nobles are eligible to be present at the Coronation, with lavish benefits (and quite a few requirements)

In return, I ask nothing. With the wish of course that the character would be loaded with the amount of wealth suiting its history and level and allowing the preferred playstyle.

Following HM very generous offer, and the death some years ago of my character binaryFate, The Marquess of Naoned at a venerable age:

I would like to take this occasion to introduce binaryFate's direct heir: tertiiExclusi. Upon creation of this new character, I would like if possible to create a clan that would gather binaryFate's offspring for the years to come. (Do I need to do anything in particular?). I also intend to transfer all of binaryFate's wealth and belongings (currently hold as an Estate) to tertiiExclusi.

B22 Corporation Announcement

The past 7 years the B22 Corporation has been busy setting up quarry operations and active quarrying.  The following Chapelry's will be quarried and will not be available for building until quarry operations are completed:

C, SE, S, N and NW will be quarried by the company, in this order.

22-C - complete - 4 years of quarry - 12,600,000 stone quarried - Chapelry is open for new building
22-SE - currently quarry operations

A STO1 dividend was dispersed to the current holders of B22 residual shares  (S-B22B).

The Corporation is interested in selling STO1 to help pay for current and future operational costs and has listed stone in the marketplace. 

Trades for the following NPCs for STO1 will also be considered:

MGR-3
MGR-4
ASS-3
WOR-2

The bailliff has finally got around to making his final checks, having completely forgot about his task, while sleeping it off in a gutter in borough 9.

Next time he need to sleep it off in his post of duty, The Old Town Police Station.

County Activity Report 1637 - Tavastia / Petrichor


The counties of Tavastia and Petrichor to the north of the River, have enjoyed peace and prosperity since their inhabitants pledged allegiance to Crypto Kingdom. They have suffered a lot in between the competing states of Sweden and Rossiya, and Crypto Kingdom sounded like a civilized overlord, and it is also assumed that the reigning house and many prominent characters trace their roots there.

Tavastia's main role in CK has been a provider of H1 horses, and Petrichor was surveyed to be a good location for a whisky distillery. Life was going on tranquil, until...

Petrichor (2/20) & Tavastia (3/20) Rossiyan hordes come from the east with nationalistic agenda. They seek to loot and pillage the homes of non-Rossiyans and spare the ones who speak Rossiyan and join them. They avoided Petrichor main camp and took the wilderness route all the way to Tavastia and are wreaking havoc there as well. The sparse troops cannot catch them. Especially unfortunate is their success in creating strife between peasants of different ethnicity.

It is unknown how large the troops are. It is assumed they are not under the Imperial Rossiyan central command and their intention is not to regain Petrichor (lost to Sweden in 1617) or Tavastia (been contested for long) to Rossiya. The troops are on horseback and do not have provision train nor cannons, they live off the peasants.

Production suffers 50% in Tavastia, halted in Petrichor. Distillery plan halted.

[MoneroMooo]

Shortly after the alarming news from Petrichor and Tavastia reached the Margrave of Stonehaven's ear, orders arrived to prepare for a military expedition. A small force will be left at the Stonehaven PRE encampment, along with CANNs and MKTs, while a mounted force will be dispatched to counter the Rossiyian thugs up north. Stonehaven's military was recently updated, following the news from Forte Spagnolo. However, it now appears the distant principalty is well equipped to withstand a lengthy siege, while the threat to the north is both much closer and immediate. The Margrave silently congratulates himself for his policy to welcome and integrate all cultures, and will seek to have loyal ethnic Rossiyans join the expedition, to assuage possible whiffs of ethnic war.

For now, the military stays put, and prepares.

[rpietila]

County Activity Report 1637 - Stonehaven

Stonehaven (16/20) used to have a large but ill-equipped army. Now it has a smaller model army who are training constantly and keeping the county in good order. The hordes possibly tried similar tactics to foment unrest here as well, but the attemps have been unsuccessful. Quite the contrary, the population is united despite its diverse background, and the uninterrupted production has caused capital accumulation and more production shares. To get even more, a road connection would be needed over the hilly area to the south, behind which lies CryptoTown.

Crypto Kingdom needs a port city. Riga (in New Liberty) is at 99/100 PRE and is already an established place with a few buildings. The locals in Stonehaven plead that the preparations would be boosted in the preparation site and it given a name, so that this new town could seize the prominent position that will otherwise fell on Riga. Both have their advantages as far as location is concerned. Neither has an adequate road connection to CryptoTown due to difficult terrain in between, and the distance is about equal.

Observing the river traffic of Sweden going to Ingria and Sankt Gustaf-Adolfsburg to the east, and comparing it to our own needs for river crossings (for Tavastia, Petrichor and North Face) shows that the town of Sankt Gustaf-Adolfsburg is doing quite well and also it is estimated that it is heavily garrisoned against enemies. The Swedish military does not seem to extend its presence too much to the country, because they have not hindered the marauders from going to pillage Petrichor; in fact it was said that they come from Ingria and not from the cold steppes to the east.
More production shares and loot (recorded soon).

County Activity Report 1637 - Ramsey

Ramsey (3/20) is a wide plain or small-hilly duchy to the south-southwest of Old Duchy. The area has not been claimed by larger powers because its inhabitants are grumpy and eager to take care of themselves:

... the land was indeed large, and clearly wealthier than the sparse Manors at home. But it had been ravaged by war in not too distant past - all the Manors had been burned down and valuables looted. There was no king in the land, so the dwellers had organized a militia system: each Manor holder "Chief" (it could be envisioned that some of the manors had been fledgling seats of counties due to the size) had a life guard of a few NCO, sometimes only 2. But in 24 hours, each of these can muster 10 men from the peasantry with farm weapons. This was readily presented to actually happen.

Saddam's headquarters is founded in a strategic place near what could-and-should-be the highway from Rome to CryptoTown, and he is entitled to starting social policies towards the peasantry (contact GM).

We have this "Afghanistan" very close to home and since the evaluation of Ramsey army showed that the manpower just was not enough to take care of the large area, the locals have again refused to pay taxes in their full quantities. Nothing special going on, but:
Part of the meat production for past years canceled.
50% reduction in new production.

Last time the large army presence and the threat of hanging tax evaders worked for a while.

A nice surprise should be the 3,000+ RAF-2 tickets that were given as a bonus dividend for owning so many horses.

County Activity Report 1637 - White Cross

The margravate of White Cross continues to surprise. While HH of North Face has first thrown in the towel with his duchy in the north because it cannot even support a town, then (1/20) lost Ironlock (and almost his army), and is again at the end of his luck (1/20) with the principality of Forte Spagnolo, the mysterious borough in the south twists the rules of reality and probability and gets a second (20/20) in a row!

Obsidian is found!

Obsidian is considered extremely protective and said to allow no negative energy or negative spirit to enter-it is thought to drive out demons. It provides protection from negative spirits.

Obsidian can be polished to a shiny mirror surface. Because of this shiny, mirror surface, Obsidian is attributed with the ability to reflect back to us our true selves. It reveals to us our flaws in no uncertain terms. Because of this property, obsidian is said to remove emotional blocks. Said to be a vision stone for use in vision quests and prophetic dreaming.

Obsidian is a gemstone of the 1st Chakra. It provides protection, grounding and protection from negative self-image, especially with respect to our physical appearance. Extremely helpful in times of grief. Obsidian was given as a remedy for snake poison.
also Useful to combat depression.


He put it into his knapsack--this was one worth collecting...

The precious and semi-precious (and even non-precious) stones have been a craze in the prelude towards coronation. The Private in the story is now SGT and is in CryptoTown visiting his family. He remembers the stone that might now be quite valued. Or at least rare, since there is no mention of it anywhere in the town. He is sure that with a small expedition, more of this can be found, up to the point of monopoly production. The Prince will naturally get the profits.

Not only that - the dragon has been sighted again. And if she does not have jewelry in her caves, who does?


Northface – 20/20

Plath – 7/20

NewLiberty-C – 9/20

Grass – 10/20

[rpietila]

County Activity Report 1637 - North Face

North Face (20/20) has not brought much news since the beginning. The lack of news has occasionally been worrying. Now a rumor with massive consequences is spreading in the region - Louhi might be dead. Considering that Louhi has been around for as long as the ancients, if not more, the matter is not small. There is no indication of a successor. The rumors of the wealth of Louhi (possible exaggerated since no reliable record of her dwellings existed even during her lifetime) are magnificent, easily exceeding that of Zenon.

For some time, Louhi had an open invitation for HH SirJacket to meet. This did not materialise, so it cannot be known what the communication might have included.

The north region has historically been hostile, with 3 claimants to the area (that we know of ) and nobody actually controlling it. If the news of the recent events gain credibility, fortune hunters from the 4 corners of the Earth will try to show up and find the treasures. The least troublesome way is through the inhabited region of Tavastia, which is to the south of North Face.

County Activity Report 1637 - Plath

The March of Plath (7/20) is the first county to have reached 100/100 PRE points. It is administered with an iron hand, and - to perhaps a surprise to our northerners - the people there seem to like it. Not only that, a delegation from the neighboring "Duchy of Koenigsegg" has sought audience from the Margrave and asked us to annex the lands. The Duke is the old pretended "Boy-King" whose administration is not liked by the locals. It is possible that the so-called Duchy at least partly overlaps with the County of Ironlock, which is claimed by us but the Free City of Danzig repelled our annexation attempt in the 1620s.

County Activity Report 1637 - New Liberty (9/20)

True to his character, the Duke of New Liberty can conduct himself with the utmost diplomacy, for his words are backed with a fortified regiment of elite troops, LTC, 2 battle aquilas, and all kinds of weapons, horses, and administration (99/100 PRE). His personal time is divided between the Royal Court of Sweden (Ambassador E&P) and Riga, the capital of the duchy.

Riga is located reasonably close to CryptoTown. At times (including at present), it has acted as the main foreign trade hub to CK. The usability is, however, dependent on who controls the sea. With the total lack of navy of our own, anyone can blockade the port, forcing the trade to go through the southern land route to Ramsey, Plath and beyond. And even if the port is open, the trade is hindered by the lack of a decent road in the difficult terrain between Riga and CryptoTown.

HKM Gustaf Adolf is pleased with HH The Duke and has appointed him the honor to allocate 7 Orders of the Sapphire, a Swedish Chivalric Order, to the "Wise and Prudent Men in the Reformed Faith in Crypto Kingdom". The token of the Order is a 30 CKS massive signet ring with a SAP inlaid (comes from the 3rd allocation). The Order does not require allegiance to the King of Sweden, and if it is revoked (rare), returning the token cannot be enforced. HKM has adviced that HM The King, HH The Duke and HSH The Prince of Soul should be among the awardees. Neither he nor the Duke are unfortunately as well versed of the wisdom and religious affiliation of the rest of our characters to be immediately able to award more. Nevertheless, it should happen in good time before the coronation. (HM the King has not renounced his Catholic faith and doing so will not be a light decision.)

An embassy of Crypto Kingdom has been built in the Old Town of Stockholm. Several tiny ancient buildings were torn down to make this 1,000 sqm spacious palace a reality. No matter if HKM comes in person or by proxy to the coronation, the matching Embassy should be ready in Versailles.

County Activity Report 1637 - Grass

Grass (10/20) has been an easy county to administer. The locals are docile. Unfortunately the management has been docile as well, tapping to the overdraft, which stood at -300 mil in the beginning. The emergency admin action was to dump-sell anything that was reasonably possible (not touching workforce or army), yet the overdraft is still at -236 mil. Continued overdraft may cause decrease in production and loss of PRE points, so it is imperative to make the ends meet asap.

The locals have been consuming CAN more than ever and the rumors that there is a huge cache hidden somewhere have resurfaced.
Increased CAN production.


General
The events of the counties are Gamemaster-administered based on a multiple factors:
- Existing PRE
- Policies enacted by the lords
- History of county and past events
- Geopolitical situation
- Size of the army
these are a way to compensate for having the army. If someone spends only the minimum, his 1/20 is likely to be as bad as the one with a larger army, but the 20/20 is more lucrative for the large-army guys. Furthermore, in any kind of event or challenge, the army is the main way to seize the opportunity, so even a negative event is easier to turn manageable with enough forces, and the positive event can be cashed in with more ease as well.

Finally
- Die roll

The events now initialised will take their conclusion as a result of how the lords play it, and in many cases, cooperation is likely to turn out better results than solitary play. For instance, The Royal CryptoArmy is stationed in CryptoTown in all readiness - making it worthwhile for the King to deploy the units to spots of interest will save you the trouble of recruiting and sending your own forces there. But it is not solely out of benevolence the King maintains huge armies - for years they have only incurred costs, in times of action it would be nice to get some profits as well.

Resolving of the events

There will soon (as in today) be a Ultima billboard for county managers to update their recent orders and GM's to respond to them. Storytelling and rulings will be condensed in this thread as well. It will not appear in general billboard except the major events, because the countryside billboard is visible to all and the interested ones can use it.

To get any information that will help the decision making, whatsoever, is possible, and a prior SCI spend and a directed question to me in the IRC is the way to get it. The more SCI, the better answers.

King's Council will convene in the main IRC channel. Whenever I am online as HM_The_King, my writings are from the context of rpietila II, and this information may be useful, or inaccurate. King is not infallible, the GM is.

The loot and other benefits are not indicated in this event initialisation. When it's all over, then the loot from this roleplay round will be counted and deposited to the players.

If you now purchase reinforcements and weapons, do it to your main character, because the County character assumes that the troops and materiel are located in the county.

Time to start BuildCO's

Every time Building module is opened, there needs to be a limiting factor that delays the initial rush. If this were not the case, all the pent-up demand for building would be consumed in 1-2 weeks, causing a few negative consequences:
- The town is reformed at the instant, making the realism go out of the window
- The dividend pools will swell with money, which will then slowly dwindle, making the progress and the economy choppy
- The players will have waited for months to do it, and when it is done, they don't have anything to do again for months.

In the past, the availability of land, the requirement to design buildings to a high precision, and (in the 1600s), the availablity of windows was the limiting factor, and the window price shot up to 550k (system price 140-160k).

Now there was not planned any specific factor that would run out, but it clearly seems that it has been found: Building Labor (BLD).

The economics of BLD are such that it is local work, so it cannot be imported. It requires a BuildCO to produce it with a production formula involving WP (consisting of WOR-x, MGR-x and ASS-x in known proportions). The availability of the workers is decided by Labor, but even if it is possible to source the entry-level guys (WOR-1, MGR-1, ASS-1), the payout is quite meager - higher skill is sorely needed, and that comes with time: several years of time.

Only those who have forgotten to sell their workforce, or who have a county, or a factory, or a quarry, or an existing BuildCO (none last year; RWWC and NewCorp starting this year), have these NPC, because they do not have a regular payout. The cost money every year, but produce only when assigned to a job.

There exists 684,000 BLD, and the simulations show that 10-60 are needed per sqm of building. This means that the stocks are enough for 11k-68k sqm . Compared to STO1 whose consumption is known exactly (1,300 per sqm), the stocks last more than 100k sqm. Or windows, of which the historical average (0.25 window ratio) would mean that even the current stocks last for 140k sqm. And their production is not a bottleneck.

Luckily, anyone can make building labor at home by using the following formula:
 
ONLY things that are needed are WOR-x, MGR-x and ASS-x

NW = Number of WOR-x
PW = Points of WOR-x ("x" tells the points per item)
NM = Number of MGR-x
PM = Points of MGR-x ("x" tells the points per item)
PA = Points of ASS-x ("x" tells the points per item)

Formula for BLD production is to check the following in order:
PA >= NM+ceiling(NW/5)
PM >= ceiling(NW/5)

Production = 120 * PW. (BLD)

Goes without proof that the highest level NPC should be used in preference to lower ones if the ASS or MGR capacity becomes the limit. Since the promotion round is soon, having the lower level guys in reserve might be good. The first promotion probabilities are quite nice:
MGR-1 => MGR-2 (24%)
ASS-1 => ASS-2 (18%)
WOR-1 => WOR-2 (18%)

There is no salary round before the Benefits->Retire->Promote->Salary at the end of year.

MGR-1 and ASS-1 may be converted from IC as well as from Labor sales. WOR-1 have been plentiful so far.

King and Rakshasa and all their wm's will not be able to buy from Labor, any MGR-x, ASS-x, WOR-x, for a full year starting now. Anything else they may freely do. We have such a numbercrunching behind us that allowing us to buy would just result in nobody else getting any, which is not the point. NewCorp will not remove its existing asks, the market needs to be served.

The evaluation of the production of BuildCO happens automatically. All you need to do is to inform Rakshasa of the char_id whose MGR/ASS/WOR will be used towards this (use ingame message: the letter icon top-right). You cannot split half/half, so if you need some of them for another purpose, make a corporation. King will raffle bonus prizes to the good characters who help in this effort (in connection with the evaluation).

King has reduced the building efficiency requirement in Versailles to 0.9 (was: 1.0). This still means that the palaces are 1,000-3,000 sqm in size, and the current stock of BLD is not even enough to finish them by the deadline when the land grant is revoked (end-41).

Having the palace built by the coronation (summer-40) is very good for two reasons:
- King's favor and greater allocation of batch-2 gems
- increases Versailles' macrolocation in the decennial calculation for the benefit of all.

Corporation production deadline is due to Friday.

This means any corporations or factions that use workpoints and such. Note Counties are calculated as normal and they may ignore this announcement. Please note that like HM just stated above that, if you allocate the workers to do 'X', they can't do 'Y' at the same time.

As I said, it may be that you are not logged in as character 33, the owner of the building. You can check your current char id on the dashboard page (click on char icon on top right). If it is really 33, then this is a bug, which PJ will need to fix.

County Activity Report 1636 - Forte Spagnolo

Now the situation is:
- The enemy knows the position of our troops as they have been able to observe the preparations and movements for a long time
- No shots have been fired and the enemy has let all the horses, NPC, etc. to go inside the castle
- Nobody is allowed either in or out
- The messenger to tell us all this is from the enemy troops, and tells that reinforcements will be regarded as hostile and unlikely to reach the site as there is a thousand miles of them in between our main lands and Forte Spagnolo
- We know that because of the Viscount's able preparations, the fortress is defensible against a siege for a long time, even several years, which will of course require slaughtering of the horses and letting go of the unmilitary NPC, which will be done according to commandant's discretion if no orders from the Viscount reach the site. The exact quantity of food supplies inside is not known (it is larger than Ultima shows, because local MEAT is not accounted for)
- No transfers to and from Forte Spagnolo are allowed.
- The envoy plenipotentiary from HIH The Emperor demands that the fortress is surrendered without resistance and that Crypto Kingdom drops the claim to Forte Spagnolo territory, which the Empire has claimed all the time. He possesses the diamond ring with engraving, official documents with seals, and apparently carries items with great value. It is unquestionable that he comes from the Emperor, the veracity of the message cannot be ascertained at the moment.

Other counties are encouraged to top up their military now, before, one by one, their rolls are evaluated. To train Rak (who will take this hosting for him soon) and increase trustability to the GM process, the main event roll of each county is published with its storytelling effect.[/color]

The Price has dispatched a personal guard (MSG) on his magically fast Golden Unicorn (H9) to ascertain the situation:

While using all skills and stealth to avoid detection by enemy troops:
-  Gather information regarding the position and number of forces present in FS (if any) and if possible identify any weaknesses in the arrangement of troops
-  Gather information on the state of the operations within the fortress if possible by looking for any hiding citizens and gathering as much information by these means - if contact can be made with the fortress directly through stealth and a possibly unguarded secret entrance, this is the 1st option.
-  Return and report as quickly as possible

300 SCI is also used to supply the MSG with the tools needed for his mission.
