Let me introduce you to Ampong: Ampong was not born like other Maplers. While others learned to swing, slash, or blast their way through the world, Ampong was bloodwashed beyond reason and robbed of the ability to attack at all. His destiny was sealed early on: one skill, one purpose, CR, and nothing else. No damage, no glory, just standing there pressing CR like it was written in the stars. Yet in the quiet moments between casts, a thought began to form in his oversized head. A vision. A dream. A single, perfectly round 1b coin, shimmering with promise and bad financial decisions. One day, that thought appeared, and unfortunately, it never left. Ever since then, the thought has been living rent-free in Ampong’s head, popping up after every CR cast and every inventory check he swore would be the last. There is no plan, no strategy, only vibes, and a dream that refuses to let him rest. That is why I am very glad to announce we’re starting Ampong’s trading journey to a 1B coin! Ampong is starting his life with a single, extremely noobish item. That is it. No backup stash. No secret mule. Just one sad little item and a very large dream. The goal is to slowly trade this item up, one step at a time, by meeting generous MapleRoyalers who are willing to trade it for something slightly better. Then we repeat. Again. And again. And again. Until, somehow, we reach the holy, shiny 1b coin. #1. The Current Item I will post updates announcing what item Ampong currently owns and is offering for trade. You can reply to the thread with trade offers. If Ampong decides an offer is roughly equal or slightly better in value, the trade happens, gets screenshotted, and Ampong moves on with his new treasure. #2. Slow Progress Only Ampong will not accept items that jump too far ahead in value. No shortcuts, no miracles, no “just take this 500m bro.” The suffering must be gradual and earned one questionable trade at a time. #3. No Direct Mesos All progress must be done through item-for-item trades. Direct meso trades are not allowed (Ampong do not understand the concept of cash). #4. The 1B Coin Split Once Ampong finally reaches the 1b coin, it will be split evenly between everyone who actively traded with him during the journey. 10 participants? 100m each. 100 participants? 10m each. 1000 participants? 1m each. Ampong gains no profit whatsoever, except eternal glory, screenshots, and emotional fulfillment. #5. One Active Offer Per Person To keep the thread readable and sane, each participant may have one active trade offer per update, Ampong will ALWAYS prefer trading with people who he never traded with. #6. Final Say I reserve the right to choose which trades to accept, tweak the rules if something breaks horribly, or delete Ampong from existence entirely if the universe demands it. YOLO. Spoiler: Additional Rules #7. No Alt or Mule Padding Trades must be done by unique players. Multiple characters from the same player will count as a single participant for the final 1b split. #8. Trades Must Be Completed Promptly If a trade is accepted, it should be completed within a reasonable timeframe. Ghosting Ampong is emotionally damaging and may result in moving on to the next offer. #9. No Loans or Reversible Trades All trades are final. No loans, buybacks, “hold this for me,” or future obligations. Ampong does not understand contracts. #10. Community Spirit + All MapleRoyal Rules Apply! This journey is meant to be fun and community-driven. Trades that attempt to exploit loopholes or undermine the spirit of the challenge will be declined, even if they are technically allowed. Current Item Offered to trade: How to Make an Offer? To make a trade, simply reply to this thread with what you’re offering Ampong, along with your IGN and optionally Discord handle so I can reach you easily. If Ampong decides your offer is worthy, he will then ask me to reply here announcing that he liked it. From that point continue as usual, he will find and trade you, after which the new item will be posted here and the cycle repeats. *Ampong doesn't care if you trade him Equips, Use, Chairs or ETC, as long as its tradeable. *Ampong might ask me to reply here in a matter of minutes, or even days. if I have not posted that an offered has been accepted by Ampong, everyone can continue offer items. Spoiler: Past Trades These kind MapleRoyalers contributed to the cause and traded Ampong throughout the journey. The glory 1B coin will be split among all of them if the challenge is completed. so far: 1B coin splits between 3 characters, 333.333m each Trade #1 complete! Ampong traded 1 Orange Mushroom Cap to TannoBish for 1 Adamantium Ore. Trade #2 complete! Ampong traded 1 Adamantium Ore to Gardenhoe for 1 Sky-blue Wooden Chair. Trade #3 complete! Ampong traded 1 Sky-blue Wooden Chair to Sm00chie for a 1/1 Blackfist Cloak. Happy trading! ~ Ampong
Interesting idea, since I feel very bad for Ampong I will offer him a Red Potion in exchange for his Orange Mushroom Cap hoping it will aid him in his future endeavors. My IGN is Loficon, I'll give you my Discord handle if you PM me since I won't post it publicly.
Love the Idea! I am Generously willing to upgrade Ampong with a green mushroom cap. Ampong's journey is very touching and i will gladly sacrifice my Beloved green cap. Myself, aswell, had a very hard time killing that damn mushroom so i can relate. My IGN is EltonBones, i think mine's and Ampong's path have crossed before.
Tanno think Ampong like Orange, so Tanno will give Ampong Orange ore, which others sometimes call Adamantium. IGN: TannoBish
I would like to offer a trade for the mushroom cap - a slime Could be worth for you as they are used in common quests IGN: RKosms
Tanno! Ampong says he likes things shiny! he would like to meet up and make this trade, one Orange Mushroom Cap for one Adamantium Ore.
Hi there Ampong! I happen to have the shiniest and smoothest marble you will ever find. You'll notice that the smell is quite earthy like the nice little rock you have. I bet this little marble will even keep you warm and cozy! Let's make a trade sometime :] IGN: DoYouCDs
Wow Ampong. I'm so excited to see you go out on this journey all on your own. Hope you find purpose in life and perhaps you'll be able to silence, if just for a moment, the screams of "CR" echoing inside your head.
Ampong likes it! it has a heart shaped hole! Other offers were too lame / too valuable / included a scroll with alot of text, which Ampong wont be able to use since he can't read. Ampong will find you and trade you.
Your heart chair is beautiful, Ampong. In exchange for it, I would like to offer you this stick. You can use it for poking bugs, hitting things, or anything thing else that your Ampong heart desires. Should you choose to accept, my IGN is Harhm.
