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.

And no less than 9,900 gold has been scooped up since this announcement!

Regarding LL stock market making, today's shares have been purchased by the Earl of North Face.

I will making more available in the future, but will be travelling IRL tomorrow, so it may be delayed.

There is a huge backlog of promotions that can not happen unless the minimums are met.

If this is not already planned, I suggest (for the online version) that every PC has a list of promotions and medals showing the next one that can be unlocked, to incentivise players to get them. So basically, every promotions and medals would be visible except the one that requires a promotion or medal that the PC doesn't have yet. I hope I am clear.

The Prince of New Liberty has spared no stone (1.7 million used) to construct a wonderfully simple, yet solid, residential house in the 2 borough.

This house has 1054 sqm and has commercial space in 12-42 sqm units and residential in 12-118 sqm units.

This house has 1054 sqm and has commercial space in 12-42 sqm units and residential in 12-118 sqm units.

In addition to the edifice in the New City, The Southern Gate of our Capital is now also protected by the Barbican.






This fortified and defensible structure not only serves as barracks for the soldiers sponsored by the Prince, but also hosts a variety of weapon, armor and archery manufacture, repair and sales.

We trust the good people of the Crypto Kingdom, now having easy access to arms and weapons with both learn the use of these with alacrity, but also kindly refrain from using them other than in defense. 

Be it known that if the bells are rung from these towers, that the hale and swift be called to arms, to hold fast against Southern on comers.

And the Knight Templars located on the West of the Barbican will show the wrath of God.

saw the thread but never really bothered reading what's inside... but wow!  awesome idea.

one question tho, why use XMR?  why not go for BTC directly, or something with a bigger market like LTC or DOGE?  just wondering...

Painting of Church Youth Center from East side, with hanging gardens on the roof.

Lord Saddam ponders this painting and marvels at its greatness. Having spent several hours himself designing his castle in 2D, the added dimension pleases Saddam very much.

It is indeed a marvel!  The skill of the architect is great and wondrous.
Might it benefit from doors leading to the front two gardens or are these not depicted?  The Top floor seems to have a door that leads to a drop of one storey.  Though it may simply be an artifact of the view.

We chose Signore Mortiginto as the official Church's architect for a reason.
Doors are on the right side (and are not depicted). The center "hole" is meant as a sort of well of light. The reaso why it is not at the center is explained in the introductory post: more flexibility for giant rooms

Because the goal is to promote Monero, a true electronic cash with no compromise about your privacy.

Better solution: make the XMR market bigger than those. DOGE is a bit of an outlier, but XMR clearly has more to offer than LTC, which is a dumb BTC clone with different ASICs. XMR has more to offer clearly.

This is a very good idea. If the player can see that he can be promoted to Level 9 but the game "lacks" of just a handful of players to keep with the "pyramid" Level system, he will be more engaged to look for new players, run promotions, etc.

In gratitude to the Lord Baron Luigi for the great many efforts and attention to good record managements, for the extraordinary patience this requires, and as generally a pillar of the community of the Crypto Kingdom, please accept this token of appreciation and honor.

This gilded statue of a lion may adorn the Lucky Lion and perhaps even attract more commerce to that worthy location so close to our town's obelisk.

Gilded with 100 gold may it remind us and all who visit it there of the noble qualities of wisdom, strength, compassion and courage.

In just 3 years under the new management, the RAQ quarry is producing over x10 more stone every day. It is now the second most productive quarry, only to NLQI which has the same management team. RAQ is also the only quarry that has backed its finances by the Prince of NewLiberty paying from his own pocket any costs of running the quarry that are not covered by the stone sales (for a duration of 10 years). Now is your last chance to bid for these much wanted shares in the auction.


Auction of the RAQ shares closes after 48 hours, 4.30pm GMT server time, on the 19th December 2014. Or fifteen (15) minutes after the last winning bid (in case a winning bid was submitted during the last fifteen minutes, the auction lasts as long as there are no new winning bids submitted in one minute since the previous one).
==========================

Less than 1 hour left until the auction ends!

Current situation:

50 @ 2.15 Karl Hungus
50 @ 2.15 Hokusai

5 @ 2.00 DjJacket

The House of royal Magnificence ("HM")

(link is best viewed in "google sheets" instead of in "default"

The Royal Majesty has viewed with satisfaction the increase of the building mass of The Prince of OZ and the plans for such by The Prince of New Liberty. We do not want in any way to hinder the Princes' effort to raise their building wealth to match the King or even exceed it. Nevertheless, we have felt that the Magnificence of our Royal Majesty has for long needed more opulent premises than the old palace. Therefore,

To celebrate the centenary of laying of the cornerstone of the Town (this year) and that of the Royal Palace of Malla (2 years from now), we build and inaugurate the

House of Royal Magnificence in 2-C-A1

to spread the limits of our construction skills further than ever before. The following records are made:

- Most gold used in a single building (8,190)
- Highest price per sqm (1.1 million)
- Highest total price (1.9 billion)
- Highest inner height (25 m)
- Largest hall (area = 548 sqm; l & w max = 26 m; h max = 25 m)
- Largest columns used in construction (8 columns 3x2 in size, 21 m high each)
- Largest windows (10 windows with the size of 26 sqm each)
- Largest total window area (obviously... 422 sqm)
- Most expensive staircase (32 million, incl gilding labor, not incl gold, lux nor tax)
- Highest elevation between adjacent floors (13 m)
- Highest staircase (12 m in 4 flights)
- Largest dome constructed (201 sqm inner area, 509 sqm gilded exterior, 30 m apex height)
- Lowest number of taxable floors in such a building (2).

Now we feel confident to give the Princes a friendly exhortation that they may build whatever they like and there is no reason to fear that the Magnificence of the King is violated. Our next great project, the Château of Versailles, will be built in the next century, unless the emphasis of our magnificence prompts a more urgent schedule of course...
