Fast (chaotic) sandbox Game

Saturday evening an sandbox game started which ran fast too it’s end. Another example that weekends are the best time too play. After building the MoneyMaker was completed, plans where made again for the network.

We got an small variearety of plans like: Pax, Carousel and B2B. Eventualy Chaos Theory won with an large amount of vote’s. Fast construction began and within a matter of minutes the first Shinkansan was rolling! The Construction started on 3 different places and first there where three different networks.

Whitout a real plan there where no Mainline’s but while continueing some tracks started to become sort of Mainline’s. Some People (including me) who started to think some cities where ours and we where trying to get them bigger then everyone else’s. But when we hit 500 trains everything came to a stop and 1 day later we decided to save it and let it catch dust in the archive’s. It was a nice game. Nothing was planned and everything went fine’s… The network fitted the trains and what more is there too say? It was a fine game.

This is also my first post on this blog soo evrybody say Yeaa!)

Changes in the membership-procedure

Hello there,

we have reworked our procedures for awarding a membership to players:

  1. Aspirants are history
  2. Players become members directly after being pointed out on the public server
  3. Making a good play is one important point, another important point is contributing content to the community – on both blog and wiki

Needless to say, its not only the quantity but also the quality of contributed content 😉

The Inefficient Detour Grid

After playing some OpenTTDCoop games I thought about a local game with a grid all over the map. All you need is a crazy network plan, a lot of time and a jackass who build this plan, me.
