Mystery Raffle #1 is drawn: 11 first prizes of a Mafia bow tie and 3 Acqua Del Piatto Merlot. All sober pills existing in the Kingdom are deleted without compensation. Officially it is trafficked by the Pirates, but rumors are that the Mafia is behind it.Īugust 14, 2004: The Great Sober Pill Raid.

The Penguins start imposing a tax on trades between players, which at this time can only consist of one person trading items for the other person's Meat.Īugust 12, 2004: Rum begins to appear in the Kingdom.

Exploiters (1,000,000,000 Meat each), 'Villa' documents (500,000,000 Meat each) and Mystery Raffle Tickets (10,000 Meat each), all intended as meatsinks for Black Sunday bugmeat. However, they have a backup plan: Uncle P's Antiques is built, and begins selling Mr. It is never fired, but the threat of it causes the Penguins to retreat from the Hole in the Sky, though they remain at the Peak. Kneecapping sticks, scrolls of pasta summoning and iron pasta spoons make their appearance.Īugust 10, 2004: The Huge Cannon is, unexpectedly, completed early, thanks to a massive donation from Qrrbrbirlbel.
