MEAT certainly seems to be important. Saddam, Riddick, and Gabriel each consumed 100 MEAT and 100 CAN. Staples of the CK diet. In addition, we also drank W1600M, W1603A, W1609, LAG, and ate some VEG. A couple of us consumed a few CIGs. We all dropped the health challenge down to none with ample amounts of these items, and we all have room left to spare.

Buy CAN!

 

Not being able to determine exactly whether or not the bittersweet envelopment of an heirless death would be welcome over spending that which would be considered seven years worth of wages for this lowly commoner, goin2mars quickly placed all his remaining stores of food and drink back on the market in an effort to return the harrowingly resplendent goods to the ostensible demon from which they came.

"Next year I'd be better off growing such barbarous niceties from land I've sowed myself rather than paying a quarter of my lifes wages just to carry on for another glorious year in the Kingdom." He remarked.

"For at least then I could rest satisfied knowing that I succumbed to my own shortcomings, limited knowledge and slightly advanced age, than ever considering some adventitious act of fate. Fate, it would seem to have pushed me into restoring all but five of the beautiful mushrooms I found on the market not more than a year ago, that I may recover from the ghastly loss."

goin2mars shuddered as the thoughts of having to eat again next year ran circles through his mind. He found himself increasingly drawn to the idea of being able to seek respite in a house with a large plot of fertile land someday, rather than the cold barren nights wandering the kingdom aimlessly, without an animal (small game) in sight .

-health challenge was a lot of fun all, I'm looking forward to the next one, even if my character might be a little on the edge . Thanks for all the nice work being done on ultima!

Challenge: severe
Result: You may still eat 0 units, drink 0 units and use 10 units of wisdom this year. Your remaining health challenge is None. Your overall health is Good

Roopatra´s health challenge was tackled from brutal to none, but not without cost. I was testing the helpfulness of many different foods and drinks so it was not nearly cost effective. Luckily I now feel I can help my health management clients better.

Hokusai´s health challenge went from severe ---> none, in one go, drinking a largish quantity of W1603A. Either a lucky escape with an easy challenge or that wine is something powerful indeed.

HSH Duke of OZ was tougher, but luckily he is equipped with very good wine cellar and assorted spirits, foods and wisdom. Something as common as vegetables needed to be bought from market, but sometimes the simple things are important in varied diet. Challenge reduced from brutal to none.

Farewell my friend. It was nice knowing you.

PS: I would get a son before the year ends, if I were in your shoes.


My challenge for 1615:

consume MEAT 50
The eating/drinking felt Effective. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 150, drink 200 and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

consume VEG 150
The eating/drinking felt Powerful. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 200 and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

consume BEER 100
The eating/drinking felt Effective. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 100 and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

consume MEAD 100
The eating/drinking felt Effective. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 0 and use 200 units of wisdom this year.

consume CAN 25
The eating/drinking felt Satisfying. I feel the remaining health challenge to be Severe. I could still eat 0, drink 0 and use 175 units of wisdom this year.

I did it all in one go.

My challenge was "Severe". I managed to tone it down to "None" with the following. (I consumed all this in small chunks over two days).

Drinks:
BEER  100
W1604 20
GIN     9
In small quantities (between 1 and 5): RME, LAG, CLXII, W1600M, W1600, W1603A, W1613W

Food:
FOIE    30
MEAT 80
VEG    50

Wisdom pleasures:
MUS    5
CIG    70
CAN    55

I started consuming the cheapest things in the list (BEER, CAN, VEG for instance) once I've seen my challenge reduced from "Severe" to "Significant". Before that I was too worried...
Now "You may still eat 54 units, drink 55 units and use 69 units of wisdom this year." so I think I could probably have done it with larger quantities of cheaper stuff. In the end it was quite expensive, but I prefered to play it safe.

I (Coinshop) added bids for all gold coins 0.94-1.00 range. Easiest if you just dump to these. Saw your post only now

This year I bought 25 gold on market. I got no dividends for this gold.

That's for the 63 gold I already had. I bought 25 more before this 126000 payment.

Year Change to 1616 (update 2)

- Equipoise/Avitohol CKG dividend issue fixed

- CON dividends paid (2 years)
