So the year is closing in 5 days, and it is about time to finish the health challenge for the year. But first a few words about the time scaling in CK. The principles are mostly realistic, so that:
1. One year gametime happens in one week realtime. Characters (except the Ancients) can live about 70-80 years if well taken care of, but can also die in any age before that.
2. One month gametime is one day realtime, so there are only 7 months in a year - travel times are still expressed in months.
(January - March - May - July - September - November - December).
3. One day gametime is one hour realtime, so there are only 24 days in a month. Smaller logistical delays, times for preparations, etc. are handled in days, so if it takes "2 days" to do something, it takes 2 hours realtime, even though the year in the game has only 168 days, and consequently the year can fit much fewer such periods of 2 days than a realyear can.
4. The exact time has 24 hours in a day and 60 minutes in an hour, and since day passes in 60 real-minutes, this means that a gamehour = 2.5 minutes and gameminute = 2.5 seconds.
The above might be confusing, but luckily the health challenge is already very easy and we can soon cease posting about it every day... So, the starting situation is:
You may still eat 35 units, drink 60 units and use 150 units of wisdom this year. Your remaining health challenge is Significant. Your overall health is Excellent
And the variety bonus is left for meat. The market prices have finally crashed and not only meat and vegetables are available at the mean prices of 5k/1k (after being as high as 15k/10k), Martti's bids have been sold into and pigs slaughtered so that he has hundreds of both in stock already! So selecting 20*MEAT and 15*VEG to fill the quota (arbitrary decision, anything between 0/35 to 35/0 could have done), the remaining is Moderate, exactly as planned. There is still quota left for mead or herbs, but since Martti does not have either in stock, and buying for this purpose does not quite cut it, this ends up being the 3rd year of ending challenge Moderate.
The day's speculation opportunity is S-B22. This item is a share of the new borough between Old Town and San Pietro. By walking 2 times to the south in the Town Map, there is a blank page showing "22-NE". This will be opened for building, very good and central land, when the Project is finished. It is possible to participate each year by sending 50*SCI to the project by
CONSUME SCI 50 [S-B22]. Generating that much SCI per year is next to impossible, but it can be bought at about 0.234 mil/SCI currently, so participation costs 11.7 mil. The payout is 1*S-B22, which can instantly be sold at 13.5 mil, or hoped that someone will buy it at ask at a higher price. Churning money like this is about 15% annual return, so well comparable to pigs and such. Previously the arbitrage was even higher, but has been going down gradually. The reason how this is existing is that participation per character is limited, yet some are more interested in a large number of the shares.
Martti's finances do not currently allow participation, but he does have a pig for sale at 3.1 mil - if that one is bought, and the promotion comes, and salary comes, and whatnot, perhaps next year the liquid funds reach that 10 million level that will allow speculation on this stock!
