So we’ve known about this for a little while now, but in little over a week the European Kendo Championships are taking place, and our very own Osai is competing.

<Osai> I was and still am very busy
<Osai> next week I’ll participate at the european championships
<KenjiE20> oooh, good luck
<Osai> and till now the preparation was very intensive
<KenjiE20> hmm, we should probably blog this
<Osai> now I have almost one free week (only two soft trainings) and next wednesday I’ll fly to Hungary
<Osai> there even is a website: http://ekc2010hungary.kendo.hu/

ganbatte ne Osai!

Over a period of months I have been developing a game which I have been test out network capacity and packing. To do this I boosted some primary industries and connected them directly to the main line. This in itself causes issues, which can jam the main line. To overcome this issue I built very high capacity stations.

My network ended up with 890 trains that travelled around a ML ring. Since all the primary stations where on the ML the game ended up only having MSH and BBHs. This meant that I have to balance all of the tracks on and off the main loop. The loop was LLL_RRR most of the way around excluding the northern section which was LL_RR and L_R only in some sections.

Hello folks,

Our community is having its fourth birthday this january. The year 2005 – sounds pretty recent, doesn’t it? In fact, if you analyze our community from today’s point of view you’ll notice what a long time 4 years can be! Today, I invite you to join me on my archeologic expedition into the past of #openttdcoop!
