How can you earn $KNPES?
In the Pixel Empire, ‘castles’ are the fountains of $KNPES. Kings, Angels, Devils, and Humans alike must enter and ‘work’ at a castle (a.k.a. enter castle and press 'work') to earn the right to claim $KNPES.
Everything you need for living exists in the castles of the Pixel Empire, and you receive salaries of $KNPES while working Your payroll is accumulated throughout your tenure and you can claim your payment in $KNPES only upon retirement from castles (a.k.a. press 'claim'). You earn your payroll based on the amount of work you do, the rate of which is determined by your ‘Knpeness’.
Thought each castle has an infinite amount of $KNPES to make everyone rich? No! Resources are limited even in the Pixel Empire, and each castle has a finite amount of $KNPES reserve which is displayed at the $KNPES-tracker located at the center of every castle. That is why everyone can only work for maximum of seven days at each castle (even if you claim your payment seven days past beginning of the work, you only get seven days’ worth of wages.)
Your claim upon retirement is valid only to the extent of $KNPES reserve left in the castle. You will accrue the receivable payroll in proportion to longevity of your tenure, but will not be able to get paid if the $KNPES paid to prior retirees has depleted $KNPES contained in treasury of the castle. Better try to get out before your castle goes bankrupt!
You must now be wondering where the castles come from and who runs it. Castles exist throughout the Pixel Empire, but a King has to “pioneer” the castle at a cost and extract its $KNPES reserve to make it functional. The King who pioneers a castle is entitled to collect taxes from its subjects(Angels, Devils, and Humans alike)’ severance payment upon their retirement. Royalties (a.k.a. other Kings) dwelling in the castle enjoy the privilege of earning $KNPES without paying taxes. Sorry, tax and death are the only two certainties of life even in the Pixel Empire.. but the King can also choose to invest $KNPES to upgrade its castle to increase its $KNPES reserve or develop a “farm” to accelerate the work efficiency (a.k.a. rate of $KNPES mining) of everyone in the castle.
Tl;dr. Below is an explanation on the steps to earn $KNPES in the Pixel Empire.
Go to https://knpe.voyage/p2e. (TBA)
Connect your wallet (e.g. Metamask).
It will show the current game status of your KNPEDOPE characters.
Click on an open castle that you want to enter, and select your character. If the character you selected is human, there will be a Dynamic Voting for each entry.. The character can claim $KNPES anytime after a certain time has passed. The amount is calculated based on the formula already defined in the Ethereum on-chain.
Zombie’s assault of barricade
Zombie can assault barricades installed in any castle of its choosing located within the Pixel Empire, regardless of the current position on the map.
Zombie’s assault on barricade results in that castle losing 1 barricade stack.
Zombie earns 500 $KNPES for destroying the barricade in any castle (barricade stack of the castle becomes zero).
Zombie cannot infect any citizen (including the citizens residing in the castle under barricade assault) while assaulting a barricade
Zombie is limited to only one action (either entering a castle to infect Citizens or assaulting a barricade) per a day.
Last Scoop
Any user who causes depletion of $KNPES reserve of a castle by making $KNPES claim is rewarded with ‘Last Scoop’ bonus.
Except for the initial castle, any castle is subject to ‘Level Up’ through Level 5, and may be depleted at each level (i.e., as there exist 56 castles in addition to the initial castle, there are 56 x 5 = 280 opportunities to earn ‘Last Scoop’ bonus). ‘Last Scoop’ bonus rewarded at each level of castle is as follows: Level 1: 20,000 $KNPES Level 2: 40,000 $KNPES Level 3: 60,000 $KNPES Level 4: 80,000 $KNPES Level 5: 100,000 $KNPES
The initial castle reserved with 12 million $KNPES is not subject to Level Up, and the user who takes the ‘Last Scoop’ from the initial castle will be rewarded with the bonus of 300,000 $KNPES.
Final Voting JackPot
Upon completion of Phase I of the game (a.k.a., when all of the castles have reached Level 5 & $KNPES reserve of all the castles are depleted), the ultimate winning side between Angels or Devils will be rewarded with 12 million $KNPES plus all of the investments (e.g., Kings’ purchase and upgrade of castles, characters’ investment for level up) in $KNPES.
The final reward will be equally distributed among the 500 Angels or Devils, and the payment will be made upon individual claiming.
