Things are happening in the Crypto Kingdom Wiki
Access wiki here: http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/CryptoKingdom_Wiki

The time has come to collect all the rules of different subgames, and all rulings of the King, from this thread into an easy-to-access form into the CK wiki.

Thread includes 179 pages of scattered information, so it is quite the undertaking, please bear with the 'slow' progress. I am working through every single thread post from the newest to the oldest in this thread, collecting, categorizing and organizing all the information there, resulting to wiki pages that include all the important information in an easy-to-read form. Hopefully you will enjoy the outcome!

Here are a few teasers of new pages:
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Building_Guide --> Your ultimate guide to The Buildings in Ultima, take a look!
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Deposit --> How to deposit, It's simple as 1.-2. ...!
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Bailiff --> What kind of suit do I need to own? Which productions items are restricted? The bailiff knows, and now you do too!
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/General_Surety_Corporation --> What happens to a negative 'm' balance? -General Surety Corp backs it up! (and collects overdraft from those that go into debt)
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/NPCC --> Including all relevant NPCC rules in easy-read format
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Stockmarketcontest -->This new contest is still looking for more participants who want to make a killing in the stock market and win prizes.

The landing page at http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/CryptoKingdom_Wiki is also going through some re-structuring to make all the information in the wiki more accessible, especially for the new players who need the information the most (or the older ones who have much knowledge but every now and then something slips their mind) I'd be very happy to hear ideas on how to improve it; to make it more accessible and useful for all.

Syksy has created a beautiful layout for the Crypto Kingdom Gamepedia wiki. Now it is up to us, the community, to fill it with all the relevant information about our game. If you want to help, check the stub articles that could use expanding http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Category:Stubs

Greetings from the TownSwipe corporation,

After a recent sweep of dead characters the TownSwipe has acquired many game items that are now for sale at nice discounted prices, compared to previous lowest asks. Full list of Townswipe items can be found behind this link: https://cryptokingdom.me/player/playerItems/248

Over 1500 XMR worth of items have already been sold from the TownSwipe account. Thank you everyone for contributing in supporting the game so far!

The advertised collectibles sold out quickly, we will list more unique and fungible items for sale since it seems especially old (1300's and 1400's) items are in demand. The gold pricing script is coming soon and after that many gold coins and gold items will also come to the market.


Land Sales:
And finally here comes the interesting sales of properties in Old Town and New Town. Pricing is very interesting as the land is priced according to HM knowledge, as well as the latest trades conducted: land sales will start a little bit higher than base price; the desired properties will be sold at the asking price so don't wait too long if you want a certain property! After a while still unsold land will be lowered in Dutch auction until sold, or until they reach the base price, after which the unsold land will just stay in TownSwipe holding until sold. If you want to catch a property when the dutch auction round happens, leave a high bid just below the ask, to make sure you get the desired lot when the price is lowered.

To make it even more interesting, lots that have buildings on them are priced at; the raw land price, or, at 3% APR income (of the total sell price, income according to the lot pool), according to which one is higher. This can lead to some interesting discounts in the land market, as with any lot including a small size building or a larger lot only partly built in; you get the building including the materials, for free.

The lots available for purchase, the starting prices are:

Old Town:
1-E-E32 @ 90mil
1-N-C5 @ 260mil (includes building)
1-N-C6 @ 260mil
1-NE-T17 @ 285 mil (includes building) Buyer can also buy the beautiful 'El Bulli Golden Interiors' item/BFG-8 at the price of the raw CKG included in the item.
1-NE-T64 @ 75mil SOLD!
1-NE-T65 @ 90mil SOLD!
1-NW-P11 @ 120mil
1-SE-E14 @ 13.5mil (includes building) SOLD!
1-SE-E7 @ 13.5mil (includes building) SOLD!

Those are gold coins in the graphic--anything starting in "cr" is a gold coin afaik. So did you have bids up for coin "cr1602e"?

What the image you posted is showing is that you bought 4 cr1602e from the coinshop at a 10mil total and 10 cr1602e from the coinshop at a 25mil total.

1. I believe anyone with NewCorp shares was given the coin.
2. You're absolutely sure you didn't have any bids up? Did you use the new gold buying/selling feature?
3. See 2

The "sellckg/buyckg" is new to me and makes me wonder if it was the new market command for ckg that caused the selling and buying.

No, not absolutely, but not for coins and not with this new commands..

[MoneroMooo]

This is the same item for both transactions, a buy and a sell, and both for the same price (2.5mil per coin). This means you'd have had to have both a buy and a sell order at the same price, and that isn't possible at the same time I think. So some kind of bug. I will ask PJ.

[MoneroMooo]

Proride, this was a bug, and the 4 logs you pointed out have been reverted.

Sorry about that. The bug is said to be fixed now.

[rpietila]

Proride, this was a bug, and the 4 logs you pointed out have been reverted.

Sorry about that. The bug is said to be fixed now.

The CKGBUY/CKGSELL which will soon be announced, have been in live testing. Otherwise, this bug is fixed, and also its results are reverted (made null).

The reason that you have been a counterparty in any trades whatsoever, is because you have placed orders. The CKGSELL/CKGBUY commands adjust the prices of orders only if they have been placed with the said command.

[Rakshasa]

Freemasonry is happy to announce a new service to the builders and factory owners of CryptoTown.
Being the first corporation in-game to reach 500 workpoints threshold, it now has enough volume so that it has become able to offer services on leasing labor.


The goal for leasing workpoints to players is to give an easy time for people that merely want to run factories and/or create BLD for a small profit.

By default Freemasonry's workpoints have been bound to S-FMBC which each entitles for 25 WP production. The S-FMBC is a permanent leasing agreement between Freemasonry and the owner. Trading / consuming the item is permitted. Freemasonry may only own exactly or less S-FMBC than what the equivalent production is; there may not exists in total any more than this. S-FMBC is binding for as long as workpoints are used.

The regular terms for owning S-FMBC is that it generates annually 25 S-WP which are each equivalent for 1 workpoint. Every instance of S-WP is minus one workpoint from Freemasonry (c_id 385). S-FMBC is taxed for the average upkeep +5% and during a reductive moth event, the damages are shared between S-FMBC holders.

S-WP is a representation of using managers, assistants and workers from Freemasonry for one workpoint. The default production of the item is used for BLD (You don't need to send any message about this). If you wish to use S-WP for factories, then sending a message or consuming the item with a message to Rakshasa ingame will re-direct the use to the correct source.


S-WP is ALWAYS spoil 100 after it has been used in production.

You are free to combine S-WP with the existing workpoints from your workers/assistants/managers in factories, quarries or BLD production.

Disclaimer for counties: S-WP may not be used for PRE points and it can be only used to Quarry STO-1. STO-2-X cannot be quarried with S-WP as it is local workforce in Cryptotown.


-----------------
The current cheapest bids for S-WP for the weekend's production is only 1,140,000 for one workpoint. For the default BLD conversion this would give BLD at a price of 9,500 per unit. (120 per WP).

There are also two S-FMBC listed for 125,000,000 m each and 50 S-WP have been reserved, if they become purchased. Please note that the S-WP price for 50 units have been added up to the price.

S-FMBC upkeep cost is substantially lower than regular ASS-1, WOR-1, MGR-1 NPCs. And the general idea is that the amount of money being paid for the upkeep remains as low as possible, without any drastic changes. When managing a smaller amount of NPCs the spoil can disrupt the upkeep cost and keeping a constant upkeep cost is impossible.

Initially, Freemasonry must own at least 50% of the S-FMBC. This is for acting as a buffer, if a statistical super-moth would strike out and wipe over half of the NPC population.

CKGBUY item_id amount fixed_markup basispoint_markup

Makes a floating buy order for item_id so that the price in the order changes based on the best bid price of HM02B100 (the "gold price"). The parameters are as follows:
- item_id (needs to contain CKG, otherwise use BUY instead)
- amount
- fixed_markup (given in M, is the fixed amount that is added to the gold price)
- basispoint_markup (basis point is 1/100 of % ; this allows the gold price to be scaled to have a fixed percentage premium or discount)

fixed_markup and basispoint_markup can be negative as well, within reason.

Example:
willing to buy a historical gold coin and wants to spend only 1 mil on premium:
BUYCKG CR1418E 1 1000000 400

The 1 mil is added to the fixed_markup, also in this case 4% over the best bid is added to compensate for the difference in ask/bid (completely voluntary of course)

CKGSELL item_id amount fixed_markup basispoint_markup

Makes a floating sell order for item_id so that the price in the order changes based on the best ask price of HM02B100 (the "gold price"). The parameters are as follows:
- item_id (needs to contain CKG, otherwise use BUY instead)
- amount
- fixed_markup (given in M, is the fixed amount that is added to the gold price)
- basispoint_markup (basis point is 1/100 of % ; this allows the gold price to be scaled to have a fixed percentage premium or discount)

fixed_markup and basispoint_markup can be negative as well, within reason.

Example:
willing to sell a suit that contains an unwieldy amount of 1000 CKG, affecting the price:
SELLCKG WOS-1 1 50000000 -200

In this example, the "suit ask" is 50 mil, and the gold is just added to the price at midprice (usually 2% below ask, indicated by "-200").


Notes

Process Flow:
1. Every time HM02B100    1)receives a new bid or ask or 2) a bid or ask is removed or 3) a trade is made, it is checked whether this changed the BestHM02B100bid or BestHM02B100ask
2. If this happens, it causes recalculation, so that first all existing orders that had been placed by this functionality are cancelled
3. Then, the SELLCKG / BUYCKG table is checked row by row starting from oldest, and new price calculated and bid(ask) placed
4. This may cause matching to happen with existing fixed price orders that were not removed in (2.)
5. The removal of (partially) unfulfilled order is done normally, as if it were placed via BUY/SELL.
6. There is no way to know whether your (or anyone else's) existing order is fixed or floating price, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Coinshop

Coinshop seeks to be the leading provider of coins at affordable prices, and to gain the coins, it needs to buy them as well. At present, out of the 190 gold coins existing, 180 have a bid(s) by Coinshop, and 10 are in active marketing (sort the GOC by year-newest, you will see many nice new collectible mintages at 10-50% markups, which is nothing as gold is so cheap as it is). In addition, 103 historical coins currently have an ask(s) by Coinshop. Only 13 coins are completely without ask, mostly unopened series of 1600 popular minting round, and CRxxxxE coins whose complete mintage of 20 is owned by a single character.

Popular minting round of 1700

Well for once it is good to be early and announce that everyone has the right to mint a custom gold coin of their own every 100 years, next time in 1700. The mintage needs to be 7 coins minimum and weight 3 CKG minimum; if anything causes the coin to be of lower #exists, it will be transferred to GOM, which does not qualify for coin collecting scripts.

Gold collecting contest due in 1650

We had collecting crazes in 1600 and 1625, so why not in 1650 as well! Therefore, the stock market competition is cancelled in lack of interest, and gold collecting contest opened instead. Rules:

- No participation fee, in fact everybody participates automatically
- Everybody gets a prize based on the modified formula from the stock market competition
- Prize pool is seeded by Coinshop donating 100 mil; oldtimers are very much encouraged to donate as well, because it is very paramount for us to get the gold investing habit in the new players as well (please send M or valuables to "430")
- To encourage new characters to jump in, even with lesser means, the Houses from 1300-1400s get their prize 1-fold, the ones from the 1500s get it double and the new characters born in the 1600s get theirs 4x!!
- The basic evaluation for goodness of the collection is "number of different GOC items owned" but getting full series or sub-series around any criterion will qualify for nice bonuses!

Coin Grading

Starting after 1650 (the earliest), against a small spend of SCI, it is possible to grade a coin you own. The system promotes it to a rank of (1)Gem, (2)Nice or (3)Basic (probabilities are 10%, 30%, 60%). In the later collections, it will be a source of lasting fun to try to source not only all the coins but in the nice condition as well

Things are happening in the Crypto Kingdom Wiki
Access wiki here: http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/CryptoKingdom_Wiki

The time has come to collect all the rules of different subgames, and all rulings of the King, from this thread into an easy-to-access form into the CK wiki.

New pages in the Wiki:
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Quarry --> How to quarry: Easy to read guide for calculating the work points and the stone yield.
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Farm --> How to farm: Simple guide.
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/BuildCO --> What does BuildCO do, how to start one, and useful tips.
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Consumables -->All consumables in the game, listed in descending order according to their health effects.
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Empowerment -->King's speech aimed to clear some of the rules, authority, responsibilities and possibilities of this game
http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Perimeter_Wall -->A history page of an important event in Crypto Kingdom (I will try to create more of these to commemorate historical events when I run into them in the thread, let me know if you like it)

The landing page at http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/CryptoKingdom_Wiki could use some help from someone who is good at designing these things.The goal is to make all the information in the wiki more accessible (through the main page), especially to help us get new players who need the information the most.

If you want to help in writing the wiki, please check the stub articles that could use expanding http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Category:Stubs or consider creating a page for your company or your character here: http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Category:Char


Also check out these wiki pages by Syksy:

a) The commands Wiki at http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Commands . Derived from the preliminary draft originally published in the in-game Wiki, this was updated and corrected to work properly in a real Wiki setting; for example, all the hyperlinks within the Wiki page itself work perfectly, and can link to other Wiki pages along with possibility to link to subtopics directly; for example, http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/Commands#CREATE works.
b) An example of pages that are partially derived from existing content at BCT and personal gaming experience but extend beyond that to create a functional Wiki, I'd use the NPC page as an example: http://cryptokingdom.gamepedia.com/NPC . Tables have been refined from HM's posts, information processed to contain everything essential underneath the subpage, and my own knowledge has been added to describe mechanics of NPCs, resulting in that players are advised how the NPCs essentially function. This is an example of a page that I'm hoping to ultimately have of every possible aspect in CK gameplay.

That being said, I highly encourage anyone interested to contribute to the Wiki - it functions similarly as any other Wiki, and you can contribute anonymously or by registering (which would yield you credit for your contribution, but is not strictly required).

The Coronation - Promotions 1640

During the (relative) chaos in the Kingdom related to to passing away of the founder-King, there have not been too many promotions. Luckily, now the promotion requirements are better understood, and the following 42 characters will be promoted, the record in the Kingdom!

As a new feature, the promotions may be conditional. Since it is not my wish to make the level promotion an optimisation exercise, I do not want to disclose the formulas and checks used in the promotion in exact detail. Yet, it is not fun that someone has skipped indefinite promotion rounds due to lacking something that nobody even told him is required!

Therefore, the promotions are in 2 categories, Outright and Conditional. When you have fulfilled the Conditional promotion conditions, you get the promotion dated 1640. Please send ingame mail to Rakshasa when conditions are fulfilled, so he administers the promotion. Strict deadline is end of September, 1642.

How to gain levels in 1641-1650

Congratulations to all who got promotions! Some made a leap of 2 or even 3 levels due to the lag we have been experiencing. A gift of good Wine has been sent from the King's cellars to all who got promoted (instantly)

The level promotion will be somewhat erratic until the new Clans module, which will completely be finalised only after the holidays. Since higher position is a reward of good play, and yields status and benefits, let me tell how the system works in the next 10 years:

Promotion rounds will be overall evaluations of performance, and they will be held in 1645, 1648 (commoners only) and 1650 (Quartermillennial Jubilee).

COMMONER LEVELS

Promotions through L1-L4

New characters have been starting at L2 for the period between 1601-1641; this will change so that new characters start from L1 and get their first promotion in approximately 24 hours following their first market action. L2 people will get annual wages from Labor!

L3-L4 are evaluated as part of the rounds, and the extent of gameplay determines if there is a leap promotion straight from L2 to L4! An important determinant is to acquire clothes fitting for a townsperson (WOS-F good, WOS-E1 or higher better). Remember to do the health challenge every year, to enjoy your youth!

Promotion to L5

The main requirement for a L5 is a dwelling (land, including a house that is designated Residence). Later we will have Wood buildings that will make this requirement easier, more fun, and even cheaper to accomplish, but now you will have to seek the cheap lots (or houses) in the market and build from stone, or apply a free land lot from Town (contact Roopatra ingame). Other things are considered as well, and the target age is 25, so if you started at 15, it may take some time just to get enough wrinkles.

Promotion to L6

Mastery is an important milestone, and is usually achieved at around 35 years with active play. A multiple of gameplay stats are considered, and even when wood buildings comes, Masters will require a stone residence. The pay has risen to quite commendable levels to support the increased demands for lifestyle.

Promotion to L7-L9

The Commoner bonus levels are available for distinguished Masters, with promotion considerations of advanced age, high Wisdom, long time as Master and active gameplay.

NOBLE LEVELS

Promotion to L11

Knighting may happen at any time based on special valor, especially in the military. The usual level from where Knighting occurs is L5 but it is possible to happen from any commoner levels (L4-L7 being the range experienced in the last 200 years). Any peer may apply for any commoner to be Knighted, and the decision is the King's.

Promotion to L12

A good way to get a fast track is to buy a Baronet title (BT-x, where "x" is a number from 1 to 100) item directly from the Crown. Newbought BT-items gain an instant promotion to L12 Baronet, which is a noble level between Knight (L11) and Baron (L13). Items bought from the aftermarket entitle to the title, but do not gain the promotion (they are mainly traded between characters who already have a higher level). Admin must be notified of the purchase to get the promotion.

Promotion to L13

Baron is an important level, because it is the last step before Peerage, the cream of Crypto Kingdom. To get to Baron is not difficult, but it requires some excelling in the following areas of consideration:

Diplomacy and teamplay. Barons are promoted by the King based on the suggestions of the peers. To have made relations with prominent players, greatly speeds your progress towards Baronhood (and later: peerage for yourself).

Lifestyle. Barons have certain requirements for lifestyle (eg. 100+ sqm house). Active gameplay helps in acquiring the needed items organically, so in time (considering the promotion to Baron happens in 10-30 years after starting the game), they are all there, with no need for hasty purchases.

Wealth. It is no secret that if enough gold and other valuables are possessed, it will cause the promotion to Baron. (Previously the game rules said that the limit is 4,000 CKG - even after the rule was abolished, the practical limit has actually gone lower.) Having next to no gold is not an impediment to reach Baron, though, if the other things are well handled.

Activity. Playing the game actively, participating in subgames and all new stuff, helps to gain visibility.

In 1645 there is a special round to gain as many Barons to the game as possible, from the ranks of the ~15 L6-L8 characters currently. The next time will be in 1650.

Promotions to and in Peerage

This is unchanged from the previous treatises on the subject. In normal circumstances, a minimum of 7 years in a level is required to advance to the next, and the qualifications get higher. Peers may play the County subgame, which is one of the most fun and most demanding things to do in Crypto Kingdom. It also subscribes them to the lion's share of the upside that the game will produce once the number of players targets are reached.

New Production Share: S-H1

The new tradable production share S-H1 yields 1*H1 every year to the owner! They are produced in counties but are tradable in the same way as S-VE1. So the owner of the county cannot lose control of both the county and the shares at the same time - in this event the shortfall of shares must be bought back from the market (or adequate supply of horses). A part of the S-H1 appear without the corresponding liability (the NPCC have received 3*S-H1).
- Tavastia must be held peacefully
- Ramsey must be held peacefully
- FluffyHorse must assign a Stables (factory) to hold theirs.

Currently H1 is trading at: 1.75/0.2 and convertible from IC at 20*IC.
S-H1 is trading at: 35/20 mil and convertible from IC at 1000*IC.
