May 1638 - Day 113

Martti started feeling bad:  his rules of play were originally 8 logins per week, and now it has been almost 2 per day. Checking the blog entries relieves the burden: only 73 were written in 113 days, so even if there were 10 extra logins, or 20, it would still average less than 6 per week.

So it's possible to check out things. While consuming a meditative amount of CAN (50, enough to make the most of the Frequency Bonus - These days Martti opens the year with just CAN and starts consuming other stuff when Superveg arrives), Martti laments that terrible haste with preparations has prevented him from marketing his goods properly, and that even though he won the 4th raffle prize from his lot bids, it was a prestigious exactly-200-year-old gold coin CR1438E. It is from the earliest decade of CryptoTown, rarest of the ancient coins with 20 minted only (the minimum) and would be fetched 15-20 mil even in the premium only times. Now, however, Coinshop is selling one at 6.5 mil, including gold, and preventing Martti to sell his at a collectors' price.

Coinshop by the way listed prices for all gold coins, both bid and ask, so the trading desk is dripping with goodness - as you can see, even the maximum possible combo of historicity and rarity is only 4 mil above spot per coin! Just out of being a merchant, and not from any special desire to even sell the coin at so much below value, Martti lists his to the 3rd spot at 9.9 mil, the minimum to even consider a trade.

Ming China bids are primed higher. Martti believes the coming Italian Furniture will awaken more interest to its predecessor Ming China as well. If anyone still wants to dump Ming, some of the bids are in more than a million range now..

Martti sheds his WAI (N1 NPC). He has not promoted to anything and is not particularly good in things (producing net 1*CUL+1*IC at a cost of 0.22 mil, only 8% promotion chance - even retire is higher at 13%!).

Martti has 5*COOK-x in N2-N3, they can take care of the household when Martti is having important knightly business with his page and the horses.
