[Now Open!] The Diamond at Tullius

[pavja2]

The Diamond is opening very soon depending on how much time I have to run it with all of the other things affecting me in real life. However for those of you who are dying to make some money gambling I may open it today or tomorrow. I will announce in game when it is open. For now only allies of Tullius are permitted to attend the casino or play the games, non allies will need to get explicit permission from asdf and come unarmed, this means residents of New Grand and of Olympia. Sorry, but I am not going to service people who murder my neighbors.

For those of you who have not yet seen the diamond or are interesting in learning more please check out The Diamond's page on the Kiwiki for game summaries and other details. Pictures are included at the bottom of this post.

For those of you who don't know how to get to there is a nether-rail connection Tullius and Bludwick and a nether-path between Tullius and Ruenge that provide easy transportation to the town. Once you exit the nether station simply take a right towards the large building with the glass roof and glow-stone.

Shopkeepers interested in purchasing a kiosk on the second floor to sell your merchandise refer to the wiki page to learn about purchasing options. As retail space is limited I would encourage you to act fast and make your purchases as soon as kiosks become available.

Currently I am not considering hiring any employees to work at The Diamond, if the casino proves to be too much to be operated by a single person I will make a post indicating how to apply for a job operating one or more of the machines.

Also, if anyone is interested in purchasing an elevator similar to the one at the Diamond for your home or town I will be posting a price-sheet soon for an kiwivator construction service so keep your eyes on the forums.

Now for pictures!

Excellent. You can expect a visit from me soon. Or two. Or three...

Screw it. You can expect a lot of visits from me.

Ima waste all my gold on the Machines.
Question.
How do the Gold-input work?

[RobertF]

Isn't there a town height limit? I sure hope it doesn't exceed it...

[geckosquid]

The Perfect has 26 members, so I doubt The Diamond exceeds the height limit.

How do the Gold-input work?

Gold inputs are simply transfering money to me before you can play the games. It would be sweet if there was a way to check for actual gold or use paysigns to send redstone pulses but all of my machines operate vanilla. Only 3 of the 4 are open for now because my blackjack machine still has a few bugs (follows a predictable pattern, kills the dealer after every round) which could use some fixing. The other three are all explained on the kiwiki, I will put prices on the wiki shortly.

Already sorted this out, the diamond itself is 40 blocks above the ground, height limit I believe is 32, however naam and yotta discussed and decided that I could keep my roof as a full pyramid rather than shifting it down 8 blocks since (unlike most obnoxiously tall structures) the diamond doesn't detract from the aestheic appeal of Tullis or the server and is only beneficial. Also, it's only 8 blocks...

Update: Prices and Prizes have been posted on the kiwike page, go ahead and check them out!

Well, time to gamble.
To reclaim my own stuff i guess.

They let the height limit slide because it's the only casino that we have , Yay for Yotta
