The game account is a special account in Townforge. It is controlled by two people: [Sigrid Sigrúnarsdóttir](Sigrid Sigrúnarsdóttir) and Syksy, the team behind Townforge.
|
|
|
|
The game account is mostly a normal game account, but has special features and powers. These are designed in a way that they can add to the game while preventing or at least mitigating possible abuse.
|
|
|
|
The game account receives a [gold](Gold) [subsidy](Subsidy) of 0.25% of city [treasuries](Treasury) at every [game tick](Game tick).
|
|
The game account's balance is fully controlled by Sigrid and Syksy, so it can be seen as a dev fee.
|
|
However, it will be used for several purposes:
|
|
* creating new items (items with bonuses have a creation fee)
|
|
* prizes for in game (or even out of game) competitions and mini games
|
|
* payment of infrastructure, servers, etc
|
|
* creating buildings, etc, in furtherance of the storyline
|
|
* payment for work done for the game, at Sigrid and Syksy's discretion
|
|
* this list is not exhaustive
|
|
|
|
In any case, the use of game account funds is at Sigrid and Syksy's final discretion and you are free to assume they will take it all.
|
|
|
|
The game account has the following differences from a normal player account:
|
|
|
|
* the gold subsidy described above
|
|
* it does not accrue prestige (and thus cannot earn prestige bonus gold)
|
|
* it can create new collectible coin designs
|
|
* it can create new items in the quest items group
|
|
* it can trigger a new epoch
|
|
* it does not have a limit on the number of vistas it can publicly record
|
|
* it can include a picture in vistas it publicly records
|
|
* it does not have a limit on the number of whispers it can place
|
|
* it does not have a limit on the number of places it can name
|
|
* it can create restricted areas (where building are prohibited)
|
|
* it can create new item designs with role and/or prestige bonuses (for a fee)
|
|
* it can create new scripts
|
|
* it can configure which items get offered by merchant ships
|
|
* it can create and award ad hoc badges
|
|
* it can create new attributes
|
|
* it can change the default optional ignore list
|
|
* it can "roll a dice" (on chain random number shown in chat)
|
|
* it can set global variables (used by some scripts as configuration or triggers)
|
|
* it can add new entries to the news screen
|
|
|
|
This list is intended to be exhaustive, but is probably not quite so.
|
|
|
|
In particular, there is no way in Townforge, whether through the game account or any other method, to directly affect players' balances, land, etc.
|
|
This protects against an exit scam, as whoever controls the game account can't just take player deposits, items, etc.
