Royal Proclamation concerning the lot 1-C-A1, the proposed Noble Palace and King's Patience regarding its matters

We, rpietila, the King over all CryptoKingdom, Duke of the Very Ancient Duchy, Earl in more places than cares to be mentioned, Mayor of CryptoTown, CEO of the Most Ancient and Worshipful Town Hall Corporation and CEO of Grand Hotel Corporation, blessed with skills in business management and beaux arts, but hardly communication, etc.,

greet

The Marquess Joseph of New Liberty, Eldest of the Nobles, AOK-K, MG-5, GJB, FBB, TB, CB, etc.

We congratulate you for your kind and just heart in your dealings with fellow citizens, and as Mayor and on behalf of the Town, extend our most grateful thanks for the transfer of 1-S-N2 to the Public ownership - against a token 100 mil expression of gratitude from the Town part - for the construction of the Office annex of the Town Hall (the most ancient, esteemed). And for your concern of the defence, resulting in the provision of a whole company of soldiers.

Now, the Most Ancient Corporation of the Noble Palace Club has been established 12 years ago, yet is not chartered yet. Yes, we know that the Royal Palace took 12 years to build from breaking ground to the golden roof, the Town Hall was designed for 12 years before construction, and the Cathedral was locked for 12 years after it was finished, before the inauguration. Great building works take great time. Still: the invaluable land of 1-C-A1, granted for "building grand and beautiful commercial buildings" lays undeveloped. Our royal patience can not take much longer to see this land unused, therefore we speed up the construction with the following edict:

The Noble Palace Club has 10 years to submit the charter and shareholder registry for evaluation. The building to be constructed on A-1 also needs to be able to be built in 1476 the latest. It must feature the following:

- All the facilities for the Nobles to perform receptions and festivities

- It may be 20 m high on towertops, but in consideration that the Grand Hotel in the opposite side of the square, which despite of the relief of its facade (or because of it - the facade features 4 pilasters 2 m wide and 18 m high), is too cubic and monumental to really fit on our tender town square in its present form (I mean the form of the square, the form of the hotel will not be changed obv.), we require your architects to consider a roofline of 17-18 m at max. The Cathedral tower of 17 m limits the construction near it to 16 m or less (such as the Town Hall and the coming Realtor's Hotel in G12). Also please observe the lane that has come to the north, cutting your buildable area. The old city wall between your hotel and the jousting ground you may tear down if you wish. Its wartime value is pretty much negative by now; the unhindered views from the Noble Palace to the jousting ground are more important if actual street defence must be resorted to.

- I am sure we understand that 180-190% luxury level is adequate, for His Majesty has plans to build an even greater palace than Malla when new boroughs are opened - should it happen in the Ancient era of course - with up to 300% luxury. (Malla has felt small with its 1,300 sqm compared to the opulence of the Grand Hotel with its 1,600 sqm right next to my royal dwelling   .) When these plans come to fruition, the subjects of our rule are allowed and expected to glorify themselves more greatly as well.

- The Palace shall be in ownership of all the Nobility. Everyone is not equal, though. We fully appreciate that the early adopters who have carried the highest burden in design, can take the sweetest shares of the pie for themselves. But as for the perpetual ownership structure, please esteem our view that every member of landed nobility (Earl and higher) at minimum, preferably town nobles (Barons) also, even the junior nobles (Knight/Jungherr) if you wish, should be able to buy their share(s) of the Noble Palace Club, and its emission would therefore perpetually increase. This would allow for new buildings and activities also increase along with the membership.

We do not want to write too much in a way of micromanagement, but what we consider functional, is that once the founders have bought their share, every Baron would be given the chance to buy 1 unit, Earl 2 units, Marquess 4 units, and so on (calculate the size of unit according to your capital requirement). The unit would be the share and receive weekly dividends if the building has income and no expansion needs are deemed pressing.

If your noblenesses do not abhor being in debt, we the King can grant 200 millions for 0.6% (200->260 in 25 days). With these terms we also gave loan to the rock-solid Grand Hotel Corp. (who are using the loan to build subsidized dwellings for their employees in their haw, and for speculation with gold, hmm.. let's see). We are not indignant if the offer is rejected or undercut by the members of nobility, though.

As a final exhortation, we will soon (~12 years) need one more Councillor in the Town Council. Bishop is supporting some commoner to be included for all-inclusiveness. Our problem is that we promote all good commoners to Nobility at the earliest opportunity... Please consider.

When greeting Lord smooth, forward my continuing gratitude for his becoming the Chancellor of the University. Earldom is not far away now.. We just need to have the architects/building inspectors educated to release even greater growth in the city, where he also offers his kind assistance.

Yours truly,

This sounds like fun, how to start as a newbie? Cheers!

so when does the online version come out?

Most recent target date stated was 11/30 I think.

On IRC you asked about what you get for a house.

1. A property you can resell later, potentially at a profit

2. Higher participation in the labor poll (moneritos paid to you each day) as a resident.

It is fitting to announce this good news, although it does not relate to the Jubilee per se: A few years ago, the Town was selling land in the C chapelry and promised that 10% of the proceeds will be raffled out to one character. We raised 2,200,000,000 m from this land, so a cool 220,000,000 m is now raffled out....

.....and the winner is: Lord Karl. Congratulations! Lord Karl has been the largest buyer of these lands, so it is Lady Fortuna's joke to refund him such handsomely.
