The Battle for Power

It's a new month and time to continue the Battle for Power!
Carry on reading to find out how YOU can become a land-owner by playing!

The event takes place on Outback Area 29, Longu Kingdom. This area is directly south of Emerald Lakes TP. The mobs spawning here are mid-level Longus (mainly Guardian-Alpha).

Next month's government will be chosen at the end of July. The government will from that day on receive 50% of the total profit from this land area to be split between them!

How is the Tax Divided?

The government consists of a Magistrate, two Knights and ten Council Members.

The Magistrate will automatically get a fixed 10% of the total profit. The Knights will get 5% each. The Council Members will get a minimum of 1% each. The remaining 20% will then be split amongst all the members of the government in portions equal to their point portion of the government. For instance, if the members of the government have 1000 points in total and you have 50 points, you would get 5% of the 20%, so 1% (in addition to the minimum) of the total profit per day.

For the purposes of calculating the additional tax share, all globals count towards your score, not just the Top 8.

Government Titles to Claim

Magistrate (1) - 10% share
Knights (2) - 5% share
Council Members (10) - 1% share

How to Gain Power

You must prove yourself worthy of the 'honorary titles' for this land by submitting your globals and HoFs in this thread. Only your 8 highest globals/hofs will count!

The players with the highest total scores at the end of each month are 'honored' with their deserved titles and tax rewards. Each PED of your global scores a point, so a 50 PED global is worth 50 Points. There is a 400 point limit on all HoFs, so if you HoF for 2000 PEDs you will still only score 400 Points.

Mining

It is now also possible to score from mining! Up to 4 of your top 8 globals can be from mining. Each mining global or HoF will be capped at 300 PED, similar to the 400 PED hunting HoF limit.

At the start of each month everyone's score is reset to zero!

Teams

Teams are very welcome to take part. Your team must have the same name throughout the entire event and screenshots must be posted by the same person every time, without exception. You can play as a solo competitor and also host or be part of a team but your solo and team scores will be separate and cant be added to make a single larger total. You are free to change the other members of your team but you always have to be the one posting and you always have to be in the team. There is also a 400 point limit on all HoFs for teams.

Bonus Points

Should you happen to meet a player on this land area with a government status higher than yours, you can gain 2 bouns points by typing in the chat box "Hail, Your Greatness!", clearly identifying the person, and taking a screenshot. The recipient will gain 1 point for allowing you to speak to them

You can only get these extra points once every 24 hours for each person of superior rank that you hail.

Additional Prizes

The current leader will receive a 50 PED prize once a week. The dates for this will be:

July 10th at 23:59 MA time
July 17th at 23:59 MA time
July 24th at 23:59 MA time
July 31st at 23:59 MA time

The scores from the previous week will not count for the next one, so all score is 'reset' after each prize is given out, but only in connection with the weekly score. You keep all score for the government positions.

Screenshots

All screenshots should be clear and easy to read and must include your position, time and global message in the chat window. All screenshots must be submitted to this thread within 48 hours after the global or HoF.

During the last 24 hours of the month, no globals older than 2 hours will be accepted.

I hope we will see some worthy contestants fighting over the titles this month. If there are not enough people to claim all the titles, then these positions will stand empty and their portions of the tax will be split amongst the other members of the government.

Best of luck to all that participate!

Q1: Would a Cornundos global count?
Q2: Is weekly bonus winner based on a sum of total loot for the week or the best eight from that week?

I don't see why not. No-one's ever had one while I've been here though

The best eight, plus any 'greetings' bonus points.

The only time the total loot score is used is when determining the tax share for Government officials.

Cheers, and for that tax share are big loots still capped at 400/300 for that calculation? (I'm being optimistic

)
