Crypto Kingdom - 1991 Retro Virtual World(City)

[papa_lazzarou]

Raskolnik wakes from his slumber in the cold floor of the karelian forest shivering because of the cold.

The fog had dissipated and he could recognize where he was.

"I got to get to Crypto Kingdom fast! Oh, man. Why did I get my face stuffed with vodka and threaten to kill King C.?"
....

"The Czar of all Russias will put me on the wheel for sure..."

Putting CK on an Exchange

We have started the process to put the Crypto Kingdom asset "CK" onto exchanges. The first step in this process is complete-The CKGAME Counterparty asset has been created and is live on the blockchain. It has been locked, and the issuance is forever set to 10,496,263.

The accounts ckgame and ckburn are created and will be used to hold the ck withdrawn from the game (ckgame) and the ck purchased with dividends from ckgame's ck (ckburn).

The next step is to start the withdrawal process for those who wish to store CK outside of Crypto Kingdom (for potentially putting on an exchange).  The process for this is to run the following command:

• give ck [amount] ckgame

Then notify Luigi that you wish to withdraw that amount, and provide him your Counterparty address. As soon as he can, he will send the corresponding tokens to you outside of CK, and the CK you sent him will be locked up and unusable while the tokens exist outside of the game. The operator will charge a fair flat fee to cover tx fees, not exceeding 2x the Counterparty fee (can change based on conditions and demand).

Next, we need to contact exchanges until we find one or more that want to list the CKGAME token. I have already started talks with tux, but there are others out there to consider as well. It should be noted that 250,000,000 monerito has been raised by donations so far to fund the search for an exchange. We are hoping to list without needing to pay an exchange, but it may be necessary. If you would like to donate, please send m to UFO (id #727). This is held by the king and should be considered secure.


Here's a reminder of the current system we've come up with for managing this in/out of the game:

• Create a CKGAME token in Counterparty with a number equivalent to the amount of CK in Crypto Kingdom (10,496,263).
• Appoint a depository manager in Crypto Kingdom who will hold a Counterparty account that contains all the CKGAME tokens.
• If a withdraw is requested, the player sends CK to the CKGAME account. At that point, the manager will withdraw the CKGAME token in Counterparty to the address provided.
• If a deposit is initiated, the manager will receive a deposit of CKGAME to their address and then verify with the player. Once verification is complete, the manager will GIVE CK [quantity] [player id].
• Dividends continue to work exactly the same. However, any CK -> CKGAME tokens that have been withdrawn will not be able to vote on CK matters or collect a dividend. Any CK held by the CKGAME account will receive a dividend which will then be used to buy CK on the Crypto Kingdom market. This CK will be given to the CKBURN account in-game, and the corresponding amount of CKGAME Counterparty token will be sent to the xcp burn address (1CKGAMEBURNiTALLxxxxxxxxxxxxeLDrH)

This CK will be given to the CKBURN account in-game, and the corresponding amount of CKGAME Counterparty token will be sent to the xcp burn address (1CKGAMEBURNiTALLxxxxxxxxxxxxeLDrH)

This procedure disadvantages CKGAME holders and will discourage investment by those who don't want to join the game (it will also discourage game players from holding on-blockchain or on-exchange CKGAME tokens, reducing its prospects for gaining legitimacy and liquidity)

Those who hold CK in-game will receive both the dividend, and also benefit from the price increase from buy-and-burn. Those who hold CKGAME will only benefit from the price increase.

For this procedure to work, and not disadvantage CKGAME token holders as welcome passive investors (contributing to the asset value), all dividends paid to CK under the current rules should be redirected to the CKBURN account. The custodian uses those funds to buy CK in-game (leaving them in the CKBURN account, from which the rules would prohibit any other transactions). The corresponding CKGAME tokens would be sent to the XCP burn address as above.

Alternately there would need to be two classes of CK (one dividend paying, one not) which would not maintain price parity (as currently with CK and HODL)

New player here id 1029 - lvl 0 corporation, did I get it wrong, should I start a new char. Bought some CK with xmr I would like to share

[MoneroMooo]

Hi, and welcome to CK.

The level 0 thing is known, and it's OK. When/if you get your first level, you should get the correct one.

The Army has been evacuated and has joined the Royal CryptoArmy (King's troops) in OldDuchy/CryptoTown.

ATTN HM The King:

HRH The Prince Zechariah, AOD-Gen, kindly requests HM The King, AOD-Gen to:

1) Make a roll call to all the military troops currently on his direct command and possession (all troops belonging to characters he directly controls; it must be noted that all the forces in Crypto Kingdom are ultimately subordinated to the HM The King, according to the decree given by HM The King rpietila I in 1466, although dissident factions such as the Church in 1623ish, have bent the subordination);
2) Inventory all the weapons likewise;
3) Separate the forces rightfully belonging to HRH The Prince (who previously did not have separation between "his" forces and those of the RCA, because he was then HM The King rpietila II). In the evaluation of HRH, this should consist:
* 30% of the Military NPC, of all ranks equally.
* 25% of MKT and PIS
* 20% of CANN
* 0% of CANN24
* Enough horses to retain the mobility of the Tavastian shock troops, who historically have been fully mobile;
4) Give the troops and weapons to #36 (conduct the changelog actions);
5) Publish the results in a detailed thread post.

At His Majesty's earliest convenience.

Dated 1663-12-16 in the Royal Palace of Malla, Old Town, CryptoTown

Troops are moving to Zechariah's position as we speak. As far as the disposition of Aquila, given the personal nature of Standards, what they mean to the Company and Commanders, and those who hold Arms as a sacred duty, and the protection they offer to those who serve with honor and grace, we ask that you choose which COA you wish to emblazon your men, my fellow King.

With Majesty renewed and vigorous aims,

What is your mission? What do you yearn for?
What has been the calling that you can not ignore if you truly listen to the voice of truth?

You know that deep calling inside that has been there as long as you remember. You can try to push it away or cover it with something. But there it is - waiting to be heard.

Hear it. Tell it.

Face the facts - and take action.
Now.

Diplomats sent to Sweden



Three Specialist (Lv. 3, 4 and 5) are dispatched to Sweden to meet with HH The Duke of New Liberty and ascertain whether a joint venture in Seafaring and RoadMaking can be reached. Each Specialist (from hence forth named Diplomat 3, 4, or 5) is given 500 SCI to perform their duties.

Diplomat 5 is given 500 SCI to oversea the operation and lend cause to whichever venture needed a helpful hand. The Diplomat is asked to watch over events and act as needed to make sure both measures are prosecuted with the utmost decorum and advantage.

Diplomat 4 is given 500 SCI to engage the Swedish Court in a discussion on procuring a mutually beneficial alliance towards the end of procuring the technology of Seafaring--the Diplomat is given instructions to offer a mutual trade alliance as a common point of interest. This Alliance would include Naval protections in waters controlled by either party, but would abstain from regional conflicts arising from war actions.

Diplomat 3 is given instructions to procure a joint venture towards the technology of RoadMaking. The alliance will also carry with it protections for Swedish goods traveling along Kingdom roads--this would include acts of war--as any road within the Kingdom should be under the control of the Lords, Ladies and King's of Our Land. This agreement would assume Swedish roads would be equally balanced in their protections--King's approval would be required for any addendums or peculiarities in this agreement.

The King wishes all Diplomats to conduct themselves with Princely decorum and with the utmost sensibility and sensitivities to the regional standards of etiquette and presentation--though are ordered to enjoy the local delicacies in all forms.

Any Nobles wishing to attach themselves to this mission of the highest level, should make their intentions known,

Can an admin help me get some free money, id 979, I want to pay grave robbers to dig up dead past players, I want to make Frankenstein's monster. I need services of a Doctor too. Can NPC do this maybe?

How much ?

Enough for 4 grave robbers for manual labour, and 1-2 Doctors/Scientists,  and maybe a small building for a secret lab. Do you think 15M would cover that?

Edit: can I get a promotion to Dr myself?

One of my Valeria Albertina (759) is a Doktor. Maybe she can help. Or maybe Great Wizard Geraldes.

Thanks, a medical Doctor and Great Wizard working together might very well make a monster from the recently departed. Is there a list of dead players?

Edit, would sci need to be consumed to perform the procedure?

You should query the GM about that whole endeavour.

I've changed my character name to Dr Kevorkian, title is self-styled like 'Dr Phil', my rank is still 'Stranger'


Having the good fortune of being gifted 15M from the universe, Kevorkian did proceed to a local tavern to find willing aides for his diabolical experiment. There he did find an unemployed BUT-3 desperate enough to offer his services as chief grave robber, and as luck would have it, the butler happened to know two similarly unemployed taylors (TAI-1) who would be tasked with the digging and lugging of bodies. A waitress (WAI) did hear the conversation while serving the plotters ale, and seeing an opportunity for herself, did offer her services as lookout.

With his grave robbing crew sorted, Kevorkian next surveyed CK real estate in search of a suitable location for a secret 'Lab', and was pleasantly surprised to find 16b Faith Street (4-NW-F2) going cheap for a measly 1M, and what a lovely sounding address for such a dark happening to occur! Next was the purchase of 4 horses H1 to transport bodies, and in preparation for a speedy get-a-way should the grave robbing crew be discovered 'red' handed with digits stained with the blood of the deceased.

Finally, Kevorkian did purchase 500 SCI in preparation for the 'procedure', then sent a message to Dr Valeria Albertina asking her to meet him and the grave robbing crew at 16b Faith Street to plan the next phase; dead body procurement, monster assembly, and reanimation!

Feeling quite chuffed at coming in under budget (total cost ~12M), Kevorkian walked to Faith Street to wait, content to dream darkly. Maybe he could restore the life that death takes from us all, maybe he could imitate God. Is science capable, is the world prepared? Kevorkian wants to know the answer more than anything else in the world, and if he crosses the line, he thinks 'I am prepared for the consequences', but is he?.

CK for sale on the DEX
We now have CK on the dex!  If you want to check it out, create an acount on https://wallet.counterwallet.io. Once you're in, click on markets, and enter CKGAME/XCP as the pair you wish to view. This will bring up the market for this asset combo, as seen in the picture below.

What this means
People from outside the game can now purchase the same assets found inside Crypto Kingdom on the Counterparty decentralized exchange! This includes exchanges that may want to add our token to their list of assets to sell. If we can get a few more people to put up bids/asks for CK, we can have a real market. If you are interested in doing that, send your CK in-game to the CKGAME account, and contact luigi1111 and ask to withdraw CK.

[serje]

can someone help me with 100.000.000

I think it is over. I need to take a few days of rest. It's been a tough time for us all. You can come to Malla to slave for €3.5 an hour, 18 hours per day like you did in 2014, that was fun at least. In a way.

I did it for fun, not for money! And yes it was fun!


Edit: and because I wanted to prove myself I CAN!

And also to meet wonderful people!

[generalizethis]

since it is patently obvious nobody would write to the thread even if offered a 1,000,000 for it, as we just saw Friday, and my phones departed me long ago, so that I could concentrate on the matters important to myself.

I'm mostly waiting for the game to hopefully resume in 1666.
Also most people are reactive. Not much in the last few post for joe average to react to.

So let's change the subject:

If we used the same mechanism for the ck asset to guarantee virtual property rights by use of a blockchain token, would you use it? And if so, what items would you likely use it for?

Heya,


what is exactly this interim-GM proposition that I read from the backlog in IRC?

My capability to GM right now is quite limited; I'm working on a start-up as well as finishing my dissertation, so my CK-time has been quite limited, albeit I try to arrange time. However, I've noticed that my interquantile range of responding to IRC and/or Thread seems to extend often between 4h - 72h, which can be difficult/too slow if immediate gamemastering is required. I even couldn't find time to fill my comsumption quest time for almost a week and missed quite a bit of health and happiness

I've done temporary GM-work e.g. in roleplay and organizing competition events, so those I know how to do, but those were rather simply motivated to keep audience's interest in the game while waiting for Clans.


Kind regards,
HE Prince Syksy Syyskuu of Petrichor

[Syksy]

Prince,

I am satisfied with your explanation. It is still under consideration by other-selves, what exactly will happen this week, but I am awaiting for amicable resolution. Regardless, I will need the week for some interesting activities for sure. I AM the GM but you will use your powers with my authority as well to enhance the playing experience, and as usual, this will be unpaid except if you bill the players themselves according to mutual understanding.

Besides, the use of "His Excellence" referring to oneself, fits in the Letterhead but after Valediction, I'd prefer omitting it.

Zechariah, on the other hand, concentrates on his cigars, tea, and meditation while also  reading an interesting article that he wishes he had known in 1998 when his parachute malfunctioned, the encounter he refers to that 'he almost was killed by Air'.

Thank you Your Majesty,
(a King is always a King right, even if ex-King? So YM is proper?)

I have always been quite oblivious to proper etiquette;  God has been graceful to me, in that I have not offended anybody unknowingly due to my ignorance. Or if I have, they have been kind enough to let it pass.

I am happy to announce, that two messengers are on the way to Cryptotown from Petrichor, bearing messages sealed with the signed of the House Syyskuu. The letters are known to bear the following titles:

Salomé, Lady of the Woods

and

Light Tears Through the Veil of Darkness in Petrichor

The content of these messages will be revealed soon as the messengers haste (read: when my poetic/creative veins are done writing the short roleplay-stories ).

Yours truly,
Prince Syksy Syyskuu of Petrichor

Earl goin2mars has generously given an additional 600 SCI to the Diplomats. Hopefully they will return soon with favorable news.

Earl goin2mars has generously given an additional 600 SCI to the Diplomats. Hopefully they will return soon with favorable news.

Syksy might tell about what happens. NewLiberty has supposedly been playing ambassador games in Stockholm (ask him if this is true) for the last few decades, and we know nothing of anything. The encounter in the north of the river ended up in total loss of Tavastia, and likely that of North Face as well, the other counties unknown. Zechariah says they are controlled by Sweden now. Despite that we are still officially allied.

If I can obtain the list of participants in this particular campaign and what I am allowed to give to them as awards / losses in resolving the situation, I can design a diplomatic roleplay for them. Unfortunately I'm a bit lost on what's going in Sweden so it'd be nice if somebody could /query me the baseline facts, which would help out a lot. (I'm thinking to apply Game Theory here.)

Deborah Eva(1047) would also like to contribute with 10 SCI, if it's still possible.

COMMAND RESULTS
Bought 10 units of sci at 10500 m/unit, for a total of 105000m. (Ref.: PxmioaNIbk)

Hi, I'm new in CK and wondering how to withdraw moneretos from the game, instructions is nowhere to be found...? Thanks for reply

You need to:

1 - send the moneritos you want to withdraw to character 5 (eg: give M 500000 5)
2 - PM saddam with your monero address

[ckphoenix]

To submit to me, use [SUBMIT submissive_char_id authority_char_id level_of_submission]

No wonder there is rebellion in the kingdom if in fact nobody has even submitted to me yet (despite the importance of that happening)!

To submit to me, make a threadpost containing the words SUBMIT your_char_id 36 x [where 'x' is the level of submission from 1=Submissive, 2=Most Submissive, 3=Very Submissive].

Only one post needed per BCT account. Until further announced, EVERY one who submits to me regardless of the level of character/s involved, gets the following:

1 mil (for being Submissive)
5 mil (for being Most Submissive)
10 mil (for being Very Submissive).

I will pay them myself.

SUBMIT 978 36 3

Phoenix is curious to see where that will go...
