Welcome to the Neoxian City weekly

Welcome folks to your weekly installment of what's going down in the City of Neoxian. If you haven't already, come in and join us in our discord to see what the latest is.

20% Neoxian City Beneficiary Tax if you don't use us.

Neox

Mr Dragon has replaced the 5% beneficiary tax for all with a 20% tax for those that don't use our platform.

Rather than punish everyone equally, Mr Dragon has decided to take a 20% post author tax from those that don't use the neoxian.city portal. The 20% will be levied from post rewards and sent to @neoxianburn

When asked for comment, Mr Dragon stated that rather than punish those that use our services regularly and care about our coin price, we decided to let them use it for free, and to crack down on those that use our tag but don't engage with us.

This move was entirely to help the price of Neoxag.

Spi Investors are splurging out

spi

The Spi-invest members have been splurging out on neoxag recently which has seen a rapid boost in our coin confidence and to the coin price. Our Neoxag market hasn't looked this good since before crypto began taking a beating last month.

Because of this, Neoxag is holding strong at nearly 0.022 Steem.

You can delegate your neoxag to here for a return in spi tokens: https://steemit.com/@spinvest-neo

Also, @silverstackeruk is always on the lookout for regular posters and worthwhile content to upvote. If you think you have excellent fresh content then why not give him a buzz on discord.

Minetest updates:

Trains to be added soon

Sailing

(New Train Mod)


We're currently testing out a new train mod in our inventories. Trains will work like normal trains and have the capacity to transport you long distances if you want to take the scenic route rather than use the teleporter.

We're hoping to have this fully up and running at some point next week.

DoubleBear has hidden treasure all over Bearville

inventory++

(DoubleBear's house)

DoubleBear has decided to hide his treasure all over Bearville. If you can find it, it's yours. You'll have to make sure that you tell him on Discord that you've found it, and hand the treasure to him in the game. His treasure is returnable. In the sense that you need to show him the treasure before he hands over the juicy neoxag to you.

Piratespeaks Treasure

Capt'n Piratespeaks buried himself somewhere on the server with all the treasure that he had amassed over the years. He wanted to pass his booty onto his cousin Dragonspeaks so that he could carry on his fortune but sadly he lost his way home.

Worried that someone else would find the treasure before his cousin did he sealed the treasure with magic locked in a book, and magic that only Dragonspeaks could unlock. He buried himself in the ground and sealed the passage-way to his final resting place. Whomever finds the book and delivers it to Dragonspeaks will get a BIG reward.

Build Battle

Neoxian City has paired with Battlegames.io to bring to you an epic build competition.

Our competition is a building battle. For those that don't know what this is, then this type of battle is where users will compete to build the best house. Just to clue you in, we're not worried about the size, only that it looks good. You can have a look around the city to see the other houses there. Some are huge, others are not so big.

Music is depreciated

Sadly, we had to get rid of the ingame music because it was crashing our server. Users are encouraged to bring their own slamming beats along to listen to whilst they create their epic builds.

Always looking for more

As always we're up for any suggestions to take the game into new directions. Why not pitch us an idea in #minetest-chat on our discord?

Outstanding Citizen award

Trainee Dragon @raymondspeaks has taken it upon himself to offer no less than 3000 staked neoxag on the last Sunday of each month to one lucky winner.

This is quite a leap from every week, but to prevent empty slots where there are no winners, he thought that running the award monthly would prevent that.

Make no mistake, this is an award that will be given to people for helping, sharing and giving, rather than taking and selling.

The prize will be no less than 3000 staked neoxag but will grow as he grows in stake power.

This award cannot be earned, it can only be given -- by that it means you can nominate someone, but you cannot vote for yourself. If no Citizens are chosen then the pool will roll over to the following week.

This month's winner is @bearbear613

Congratulations @bearbear613 you win 5,000 staked neoxag (which I sent out two weeks ago)

I chose bearbear because of his exceptional call to duty in these key areas:

  • Putting in a lot of work into minetest
  • Staking neoxag relentlessly
  • Holding a large amount of giveaways
  • Generally being a really decent person

This is now the seventh week @raymondspeaks has done this, and that has been 11,000 neoxag stake he has given away.

To clarify -- you'll need to be in our server to be a Outstanding Citizen, an invite is here: https://discord.gg/RkvBGdS

Dragon Rewards

I'm also looking to reward The Dragons and Dragonmasters of our discord because they do a lot of behind-the-scenes work to keep us a happy group of people with a stable coin.

If you have any ideas on how to show our appreciation to the upper echelons of our community then please shoot me a pm at @dragonspeaks

Please do. I have had zero traction with this. It would be nice to hear some suggestions.

Neoxian City storms Dtube again!

If you haven't already then I suggest you check out our Dtube competition which runs weekly.

dtube

We're currently gathering votes for this weeks round. If you'd like to suggest a topic for next week then why not give us a shout?.

We have given out a massive amount of goodies this week. Check it out

Every day City owners & members alike will give away some of their coins or services to lucky winners in our discord. We have a rule that every giveaway must amount to over $0.25 in value.

So far, we have given out 1563 giveaways at the very least $0.25 and that amounts to $390.75 -- although the actual value is WAY higher.

Give yourself a clap everyone, you really deserve it.

Check out and get started on our Steemit packs in the City School

Our city school is offering free steemit starter packs for those that are active on our discord

Why not treat yourself and get a totally free course? You might actually learn something completely new. It's over two hours long and packed absolutely full of content. Done by someone that knows his way around this stuff.

All courses offered right now are absolutely free to city members. Why not utilise the skills of someone that has known crypto since 2013? :)

Ask in our city for more details.

We are one of the most active discords on Steemit!!

Neoxian City is one of the most active Discords on Steemit from what I have personally observed, and what other people keep telling me. We are active for the most part all around the clock. Our residents span from Australia right over to California; so our timezones cover a massive 21 hours!

Come in and say hi -- we don't bite :)

12.png

Where do you fit into the City of Neoxian?

A lot of people come here and get sucked into the friendliness of our server. Some people want to take on roles in the city, others just want to chat and have a good time. There's nothing wrong with either!

What we haven't seen many of though is those wanting to create new roles and responsibilities for themselves in Neoxian City. Our Dragonmaster Neoxian is always open to new ideas.

Do you have a special talent? Let us see! Come in and see if you can do something for us -- we encourage growth here. What benefits us, also benefits you.

We have already started a School, A minetest server, A banking service, games, and so much more.

What can you bring to us?

Curation Station!

Our curators regularly scour the whole of Neoxian to find the best and sometimes most undervalued work to send into planetary orbit with our humungous weighted curation trail. If you observe our tribe we have one of the best trending pages and that is because our administration team weight the trail down with their HUGE votes.

These are our picks:

Please note: We only support original content here.We will exact vengeance with extreme prejudice on plagiarists and spammers. So we want to see you unleash that creativity of yours. When you create you get better at what you do. When you plagiarise it is a wasted effort, and we don't like wastefulness or laziness here.

We also take our tags seriously. So please try and use the relevant tags as we will only vote on those with them. We won't be voting a picture of your cat with SPT for example. SPT is for Steemonsters.
