#openttdcoop

I may have said it a few times on IRC but nowadays I’m quite busy with a roleplay forums that me and some of my friends of tt-forums have set up: novs.nl. This site is all about roleplaying different parts of public transport, one person plays a transport company, the other plays a company that builds trains/busses etc, the other plays a part of the government.

Some weeks ago I had a little talk on IRC about shift-mainline games and numbers of trains. Personally I really like the SML concept, and I wanted to know if it is possible to squeeze more than 2000 trains into a single game and still get a fluent network. Read the rest of this entry »

Wouldn’t that be a cool thing to try?

dihedral and me talked about that and we came to the idea to make a “World Wide OpenTTD Game Day”. So, we are searching for a day where most people are online and we all should try to play together.

It is not #openttdcoop related but I will still write an article about it: I got dreadlocks. And they are awesome .

It all started a few years ago when I wanted to have dreads but I didn’t have long enough hair to put them in. Finally I got long enough hair but was too lazy to start looking for someone who could put dreads in my hair. About two months ago I found out that a girl I know since ages could do it and so we eventually made an appointment. Unfortunately she couldn’t make it to that appointment because she was on vacation.

After another while we made another appointment and this time she did have time (and brought a friend)  and they started doing my hair. Which was about 5 hours of immensive pain and suffering, and the little saddists liked that.

But 5 hours later my dreads looked like this, now they’re about the same but a bit more fluffy (loose hairs mostly) because I slept without covering and stuff. There’s also one end that got a bit loose and it looks a bit out of place, but for everything else it is still about the same.

Now all of you also know what I look like :s.

I was playing an internet game (version 4.8.0), I created a small network, wich had a good profit. But the red company had a massive station with 20 coal mines around it. It was impossible to beat the red company. So i was building on my little network, and i asked the help of Ammler. Ammler had the good idea to steal the coal from the red company. So we started to steal it, we created 2 coal pickups and a coal drop far from there. We were making good profit with the stolen coal. Then I had the idea to get 1000 points. It wasnt hard to get, the only things we needed were 120 trains and 80 stations, so i’ve began with building road vehicles all around on the map, and Ammler was shortening our coal trains. So we very easy get the 1000 points. And then as finishing touch, the red company only had the coal track, we stole all his coal so he had a bankrupcy!!!

We are real tycoons now!

A screenshot of the 1000 points:

Note: After the bankrupcy of red, another player came in and his company color was red.
