Letter from dCity President - The Path to Greater Prosperity

avatar

My fellow dCitizens,

We have spent much time and energy over the last week discussing what many consider to be a crisis, though not all are agreed at its cause. The virtual world in which we inhabit is changing, and its changing all the time, and we know how resistant to change that we all can be.

Yes some citizens have left our great nation, selling off their real estate and moving off chain, to other universes. And we wish them well, we will not for one minute think about restricting the free movement of capital. Everyone can choose to come or go as they please - this is the symbol and pride of our free people!

But over the last week, things have gotten much better. Those of us with a Law Firm in our cities are once again receiving some SIM income, and full HIVE ranking rewards from the Board of Governors based on the city ranking. I am pleased to announce that the Board is undergoing an internal audit, and will be changing the way that ranking is done within the next 30 days. This will be a big change and we are very excited to be able to reward more smaller cities for their relative rankings in other stats, such as education and creativity - stay tuned for that next month!

Taxes are falling

Things are beginning to move in the right direction, and today's dCitizens are set to receive more than 10x as much INCOME as yesterday, as long as they have a LAW FIRM card. While I do not believe this will necessarily continue in a straight line, I am extremely happy to see things moving in the right direction. And, to me, the direction that things are going is probably even more important than the exact location we are at.

Speaking of exact location, while I have received death threats, I am quite confident that my forested hiding spot will not be discovered. Though our stronghold is clearly visible on this map, very few will have the grit and determination necessary to break through the treacherous terrain. This means I will be able to take decisions regardless of who wants me dead.

What's the Plan??!!?

Yes there is a plan, and its important that we all talk about it now.

dCity has come 'out of beta' into this intermediate phase we find ourselves in. Most of us recognize the urgent need to spread the word about our hidden gem of a game, the longest-running no-rug defi-farming NFT game in existence. I have seen many eager that someone spend time and money 'marketing' this game. And that's exactly what we need to do - WE THE PEOPLE.

Yes there will be challenges - This post reveals the first steps for new players coming from other chains. Luckily anyone involved in 'defi' or 'nfts' will already be comfortable with METAMASK or similar wallets, and HIVE KEYCHAIN is just our (better) metamask.

Figuring out the best strategies to reach out to WAX, BSC and ENJIN users is the new 'strategy mini-game' for dCitizens to engage in if they so choose.

We are also moments away from an API with Docs that is tracking all user activity. This will allow us to finally publish dCity to the tracking websites such as dappradar. If any dCitizens know about this process, please contact me or write to us in the dCity Discord.

There may be some more low hanging fruit when it comes to marketing, so as soon as you recognize your civic duty to participate, we will be waiting to hear about your efforts and results!

Community

One huge thing that we can work on is tightening up our strength as a community. Even though our dCity is built on top of a blogging platform, there are surprisingly few posts about dCity getting written, and mostly by the same authors. Remember that you can use the wonderful LeoFinance.io to publish all of your crypto, finance and trading antics.

I am working furiously in the background an additional idea to encourage more posting, as well as a way to get all those posts in one place (without making our own community and missing out on all that is wonderful about LeoFinance). I cannot say if I will get this new development produced before the end of my current term as president, but its coming.

What else can we do to encourage our community? New governance methods are being worked on right now by the team, but we players would do well to think about the ways in which we can make it fun and engaging to play dCity.

Its a tight race and there are just 6 days left until a new presidential term is decided. Make sure to cast your vote, and check your lobbying options as well for good measure, in the 'GOVERNMENT' tab of dCity.io.

My opponent has revealed to me his tax plan, but I will leave it to his voters to extract the information from him, if they want it. There is still not very much range of options available to a president, SIM price has not moved much. What is moving though, is the Global SIM power, a number of SIM holdings based on a 30 day average.

As 3rd edition launched, there was 117.5 million global SIM Power. I have been happy to watch as this number has gone down to just under 104.5 million, and recently this has dropped by as much as 1.4 million per day.

Currently the War Lobby distributes ~400k SIM per day, and today we are set to print an additional ~150k SIM from INCOME, well off our recent lows of 0.01 for everyone. Let's continue to watch the results unfold - things are looking up in dCity!

Freedom and Friendship

Your President

This seems logical,but when I reduced from 118 to 108 players still continued to say they were going to quit, so either you need to define better parameters for your claim or admit that its not as simple as it sounds.

I have no law firm so I guess I will just rely on mining citizen cards like usual. Passive income is great and hopefully the cross-chain stuff works out.

If things are going to get better, everything is good. I voted for you with me tiny 200 SimPower.

Looks like I should manage to get a LAW FIRM :')

@ecoinstant Wait, you live in a rainforest near an active volcano in the Andes? That might be one of the manliest things I have ever heard 😂
