RK Sheep Tutorial

Sheep are a type of field, specifically a ranch. Up to four sheep are available for each ranch. Each sheep costs 35 pounds to purchase from the sheriff. You must have a knife in your home to shear or to kill them.

When nourished every day, sheep will maintain weight or improve it (an average of once every three days). Sheep ranchers are encouraged to join The Sheep's Owners and Weavers Guild (SOW).

The following are the available weights:
dying, bony, lean, normal, fleshy, plump, fat, obese, American-style. (They rarely get beyond normal by the way)

Every three days (or every day, or any day...) sheep can be sheared for wool. Every single day a sheep gains 0.5 of wool on their pelt. They can be slaughtered for hides at any point in their life, preferably near the end. Remember that if this is a second field, your yields will be lower (approximately 3/4 of a full yield).

Proposed sheep cycle one

• Day 0: buy all sheep
• Day 3: shear (get 6 balls of wool)
• Day 6: shear (get 6 balls of wool)
• Day 9: shear (get 6 balls of wool)
• Day 11: kill one sheep
• Day 12: shear (get 3-4 balls of wool)
• Day 13: slaughter a surviving sheep (if there are any left. (an average of 3 hides))

(Sheep start dying on day 8 on average, so with this cycle, you may not get many hides)

Proposed sheep cycle two - Xenina's Method

• Day 0: buy two sheep
• Day 1: buy two more sheep
• Day 2: shear (get 3 balls of wool)
• Day 3: just feed
• Day 4: just feed
• Day 5: shear (get 6 balls of wool)
• Day 6: just feed
• Day 7: just feed
• Day 8: shear (get 6 balls of wool)
• Day 9: kill one sheep (get 1-3 hides)
• Day 10: kill a sheep (get 1-3 hides)
• Day 11: shear (get 4 balls of wool)
• Day 12: slaughter any surviving sheep (if there are any left)

Fishing in RK

How to Fish

1) It's a good gig. It is. You will get a number % for each click on the fishing map, so level zeros: you will not get a fish on the first day you fish. Still, it's great pay! For example, if you click on one spot today and get 80%, that amount will be saved in your account. The next day that you fish, you will only have to get 20% in order to get 100% to receive a fish. Voila! So, the only day that you would not get a fish is the very first day, but believe me, fishing does pay off.

2) The fishing map: Take a look at this page every day and look for a post that was made after reset:  http://fishing.melyadon.info/?village=Ayr (just plug your town at the end of the link)

Look for a post by anyone that fished in Y=0 or Y=1. You can most likely only fish in the bottom row (Y=0), if you have no strength yet.

3) Once you have selected a box, "Fishing" will be your day's activity! If you are new, you will only get one chance to fish, so be careful, there is no coming back possible! You'll want to see if other people have fished on the coastline. You might want to ask someone in the tavern if they can help you.

4) The more strength you have (meat you've eaten), the further out you can fish from the shore - out to row 6 if you have no boat. The more intelligence (fish or milk) you have eaten the more chances you get to fish.

*SP = Strength Point
~ 0 Strength = >You will fish in the first row. (It's labeled as Row 1) ~ 1 Strength => 1 line (So, you need 2 strength points to fish in row 2).

* IP => Intelligence Point (More chances to get a high yield. 5 points is good.) ~ 0 IP => 2 boxes ~ 5 IP => 3 boxes ~ 10 IP => 4 boxes ~ 15 IP => 5 boxes . . . and so on

5) You can see the positions (X, Y) in your web-browser's status bar by moving your mouse over the box. (Not in Chrome. I just count boxes over 0,1,2,3) At the end of the day, you fish on the last box on which you clicked (even if you have some move's points left). In this image you see x=7 & y=5 (8th box over and 6 rows up):

6) Fishing map: Use the fishing map (or forum posts in some cases) to see what else has been found that day, then choose the most productive box for your last turn. (The fishing page tells you how many tries you have left, i.e. 4/5 means you have one try left.)

7) After reset, you will get your fish (1-2 fish). Yes, some days you can get two or even three. Sell any fish for what the TOWN HALL MESSAGE SAYS. Sell it the very next day. Don't build up a collection please. Just list them when you get them and the mayor will buy them when he/she gets a chance.

8) So, if you can fish out to row 5, what is the max yield you can get? The answer is 99%. This chart will give you all max yields:

y/(Y-Axis/Strength)	Min-Yield (%)	Max-Yield (%)
0	69	80
1	72	88
2	74	89
3	76	93
4	77	96
5	78	99
6	79	101
	THIS IS THE BOAT LINE
7	80	104
8	81	107
9	81	109
10	82	112
11	82	114
12	82	116
13	83	119
14	83	121
15	83	123
16	84	126
17	84	128
18	84	130
19	85	132

9) You must own a boat to fish beyond y=6 (row 7). Yield max is 132% at the 20th row (y=19). Boats are 85-100. You cannot sell the boat once it is placed on you (just like clothes). Remember you still need a lot of strength and intelligence to fish out away from shore, so don't buy a boat until it's worth your investment.

How to Write A Chief Mentor Welcome Letter

Click here to see all Mayoral Tutorials (RK)
Click here to see all Mentor Tutorials (RK)
Okay. I have changed the introduction message just a little bit. It was EXTREMELY long and drawn out.

Here is the letter that I send when I assign a new Chief Mentor:
I have placed you as Chief Mentor. I have also added you into the Town Council private forum thread. Access it in forum 2. Just search for "Whithorn Town Council".

CHORES:
Your job as Chief Mentor:
1) Check up on how many new people we receive every day.
2) Send letters to those who are 5-10 days old on a regular basis.
3) Answer letters that are sent to you.
4) Sit in the Town tavern as often as you can to answer questions of the newbies who pop in.

~ Xenina

To New Players, Read This:

________________________________________________________________
Welcome, to Whithorn! I’ll be your guide. My name is Syseelia and I'm the Chief Mentor of this town. If you need ANY help, just click "reply" and send me an "in-game" letter. =]

== NOW, FIRST THING: Click on "Town" and then "Market" and purchase 10 bags of corn from the market at £4.95 each. This will enroll you in our NEW CITIZEN program. (You may receive a note from me or from the Mayor confirming that you are now in the program.)

ABOUT THE PROGRAM: When you are ready for level 1 (you have earned 5 reputation points & 65 pounds of cash), contact the Mayor and she will tell you how to get £55 CASH. This £55 will push you into Level 1 and the Mayor will give you advice on what kind of field you should choose.

This letter is LONG and I get that, BUT I suggest that you – SAVE IT - somewhere, as mail is deleted automatically after 2 weeks.

== NOW, YOUR TUTORIAL:
- LEVEL ZERO: This game is all about living day to day and working your way UP in the world. =) Level zero is all about having what it takes to move up. The key is to SAVE YOUR MONEY! Save your money and food and do not waste it (on clothes, food or anything else), or you can’t level as quickly as you should. Also, if you don’t know, ask! Ask the Chief Mentor or the Mayor. You are not “bothering” us.

== A DAY . . . in RK (Renaissance Kingdoms) is the 24 hour period between one reset and the next. Reset occurs each day at 2:00 GMT. (Time is posted on the church). For example, if you are in PST (-8 GMT), reset occurs from 7 – 8 pm at night.

== EATING:
You must eat every day to survive. Look at the top of your screen. Next to your money is your “status”. If you are “fit” you only need to eat one Hunger Point (that means 1 corn). If you are “exhausted” you need to eat two Hunger Points (two corns or one bread).

- FOOD: To eat click on “Me”, then “My inventory”. Click on the hand print to eat each item. Remember what I said above: if you are “fit”, you need ONLY eat one corn. (It will still say you are hungry, but ignore that.) To get more food on subsequent days will buy it either from the market or a tavern (which are individually owned and priced). Your money is only to be used to buy food (not wine, women or fancy clothes). Do not buy any food besides corn or bread until you level. DO NOT BUY BEER.

- DON’T GET DRUNK: To enter a tavern, simply click on the name of one. If you visit the taverns, do NOT buy beer at all(only richer people should ever buy beer) and do not allow anyone to buy you more than 5 drinks or you may get drunk. If you are too drunk you can’t work or eat.

== JOBS & REPUTATION:
The best time to get jobs is early in the new day, for as they say - the early bird gets the work! You have THREE places to get work:
1. The Mine: Click "Out of Town" and "Works". Then click on the mine. (You get 7.50 this reset and then 7.50 on Sunday.)
2. As a level 0, you have to work two days in the Church. This will give you 2 of your 5 required Reputation Points. (More info below)
3. Farm jobs are in the Town Hall: Click “Town Hall” and “Job offers”. You will see a job and the skills required. If it says “0 Intelligence Points” or “0 Strength Points” you can apply for it, even though you have no character statistics yet.

== YOUR TOWN:
Read your Town Hall’s Message and keep checking it. Don’t buy cheap items and then resell them higher. This is a prosecutable crime.

== LEVEL ONE:
Like I said above: “When you are ready for level 1 (you have earned 5 Reputation Points & £65 of cash), contact the Mayor and she will tell you how to get £55 from the Town Hall. This £55 will push you into Level 1 and the Mayor will give you advice on what kind of field you should choose and tell you how to level.” * Remember, you can ONLY get this £55 pounds if you are enrolled in the NEW CITIZEN program. *

== REPUTATION POINTS are points you give and get from other people. (You get two points per week that you can give out.) As said above, you will get 2 Reputation Points from the Church. However, you also need 3 Reputation Points from other players. This is part of the game. The best time to find people to trade Reputation Points with is on Sunday after people get paid and they get their 2 points to give out.

== FORUMS:
Visit the forums right away. Only worry about the top forum for now. Go into the Index and look for “Galloway” (that’s our County). Then look for “Whithorn”. That’s our town. There is both a County and a Town forum. Both are fun and will teach you a lot.

We hope you enjoy your life here in 1456 A.D. Whithorn! Please stay in touch.

How to Write a Town Hall Message

Click here to see all Mayoral Tutorials (RK)

Town Hall messages should have three sections:
1) Announcements (things you update on a daily/bi-weekly basis)
2) A menu of things discussed in the message
3) The actual items that you just said would be in the message

It helps to have a little intro about yourself before the message, so that new people know that the Mayor is active and changing the message regularly. You'll also want to use bullet-points under each heading for each piece of subject matter. Keep the whole of the letter as short as you can. Take out notes that become unnecessary later.

Here's my latest letter. Notice the subjects are divided up and each subject is bullet-pointed and kept short and to the point:

___________________________________________________________________
Greetings Citizens! Thank you for your vote. I do appreciate it and I'm already working hard for you!

How To Do A Town Hall Report

Hey! I just made this excel document, which makes it EASY to record your Town and/or County's value: http://iamxenina.googlepages.com/TownHallReportSheet.xlsx
(Simply enter the value and/or quantity of your goods and it does the math for you.)

Here is my tutorial (for those who don't love excel):
There are a couple of ways to do a Town Hall Report. Basically you decide what exactly is revealed to the public.

[Your Town Here] Town Hall ReportTown treasury : *1200.30 pounds (Place your cash in main Mayor menu here)

Inventory (Price estimates can vary. It's best to stick with whatever the basic county price is. Here is an example:)
Town Hall Inventory0096.00 = 015 @ 06.40 Bread0095.00 = 005 @ 19.00 Meat
0150.00 = 010 @ 15.00 Flour

0166.00 = 010 @ 16.60 HHW
0125.00 = 010 @ 12.50 Wool
0150.00 = 010 @ 15.00 Hides
0240.00 = 020 @ 12.00 Veggies
0800.00 = 200 @ 04.00 Wood Buschels0040.00 = 002 @ 20.00 Small Ladders

0285.00 = 015 @ 19.00 Iron ore
0030.00 = 002 @ 15.00 Knives* 2539.50 pounds = Total
(Just add the left column up)
====================

News?

Town Finances:The economy is better. At least it's flowing. Level two products have decreased, but with the rise in prices, you level twos should be able to keep on baking and creating products with decent profits. I'll continue to trade with the county and send another grant north.

With the income that we've created through grants and trades, I'll be able to help out a little more, buying your items and reselling them for that price plus .01.

========== If you desperately need to sell something for a specific (decently low) price ==========
============== please contact me so that I can buy some and help you out. ==============

Crops: If you grow corn, wheat or veggies I urge you to keep your prices low and competitive. I also have to ask that fishermen list their fish for 16.95 - 17.15.

Sheep & Pigs: We have too many sheep and pigs. I've managed to outsell some of our hhw, but I can't sell any of the sheep products. It seems every town has too much of them.

Town Council Votes: The new Town Council will soon be initiating new changes and programs. I'm very excited about this. Here are things that the Town Council will be voting or initiating:

* Minimum Wage
* Loan Approvals
* New Games in General Forum

Thanks to Roy_Garlock for his added example of TH report to make this tutorial. You big stud. :)                  

Install Fonts in Vista

So, I tried to extract the fonts I downloaded straight into my C:\Windows\Fonts

Yeah. That didn't work. So, I extracted them into the download folder and tried to just copy and paste them over.

Then, I figured out that you must install each new font individually. To do this, right click on the font and click "install". It will magically appear in your font folder. Done! You don't need to find your C:\Windows\Fonts.

It took me a while, but I figured it out.

The Ten Commandments of Tremulous

I Thou shalt not cheat.
II Thou shalt build a good base.
III Thou shalt not feed the enemy.
IV Thou shalt not harm teammates (also known as bleeding).
V Thou shalt show no mercy to thine enemies.
VI Thou shalt not spam (shoot at nothing).
VII Thou shalt not camp (stay in base all game).
VIII Thou shalt not spawnkill, nor killwhore.
IX Thou shalt not deconstruct major buildings without your team's agreement.
X Thou shalt use good sportmanship and not insult other players.

Newby Definitions:
Feed = Feeding is when a player runs out of the base and is killed over and over again. This feeds the other team and they will quickly gain an advantage over your team. You will lose quite badly.
Spawnkill = Killing players directly as they come into the game. They have no chance to defend themselves and while your kill count will increase, it is in essence cheating.
Killwhore = Killwhoring is the action of killing opposing team members over and over again, while not attempting to attack or take out their base. Players who do too much killwhoring quickly become unwelcome in the server.

Mayor's Recession Help - Lesson 1

Hello everyone,

I've recently got some mayors asking me what I've done to come out ahead these last two months, and so I'm writing a blog on it. First of all I want to post my "action" Town Hall message.

========= - NEED SOME CASH? - =======
Need a good job today? Check jobs first! Then consider fishing. You can fish with ANY level of intelligence, strength or charisma. Fishing map: http://fishing.melyadon.info/?village=whithorn
Sell your fish for 16.95-17.15 or I won't buy it.

TUTORIAL: http://xenina.blogspot.com/2008/09/whithorn-fishing-tutorial.html

===== - HOW TO HELP YOUR TOWN - =====
Helping your town: Please read the economic section below and remember low prices mean more cash flow for Whithorn.

Cows: Only approved townsfolk will have them. Please apply to your mayor if you would like to ranch cows. Only three people will be accepted and breeding has just started. Thank you.

Weavers: Suggestions = belts, boots, women's hose, affordable shirts.

Forums: Just click on the word "Forum" below your news scroller. Then click on "Go to the forum with your player's account 'your name here'". I highly encourage you to read and post in our forum. To truly play RK is to know the forums. Once in the forum, you can scroll down to our county (Galloway) and our town (Whithorn). If you can not see the forums, please check your security. If your internet browser is accepting cookies and you are currently in the town of Whithorn, you should be able to read the county and town threads.

=========== - ECONOMICS - ===========
I will be trying to move the market . . . PLEASE change the prices of your goods for what you can afford. I will buy and resell what I can of the following:
Corn 3.05 (1hp)
HHW 16.00
Veggies 10.00 (1hp, +1 Charisma)
Knives 14.95
Fish 16.95 (2hp, +2 Intelligence)

============ - LEVELING - ===========
Please notify the mayor when you level.

Level One Fields: I suggest you have 200 pounds before you get a field. (You'll need some cash for expenses). Then please choose: CORN or WHEAT
Please Use This Corn Guide: http://xenina.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Level Twos: We have a lot of level twos here. So, you should have extensive clothes, cash and high stats before leveling. I suggest you choose CARPENTER (If you want weaver or miller, please talk to me first.)

Level Three: If you are close to level three and meet all other criteria, apply for a cash loan from the town council. Simply post in the Town Council Thread in the Whithorn Forum.

============= - LAWS - ==============
Whithorn's Minimum Wage: 16 pounds

Profiteering: You can not buy low and sell high on the market. This is a prosecutable crime.

=========== - AUTOBUYS - ============
(I'm sorry. I can't afford any autobuys until my trades go through.)
Meat: OFF
Wheat: OFF
Flour: OFF
Pig HHW: OFF
