#openttdcoop

So we had our first Coopetition tonight, Mucht and Osai versus Ammler and me, and we lost. Congratulations Mucht and Osai! I think we could say that Mucht and Osai won with a clear distance, they won with about a profit of about 2 million every year then ours.
It was really fun to have some competition again, it has been a long time since I had some.

There are some things that could be improved about coopetition:

• Station spread should be lower (we had a big discussion about this ingame)
• We should be notified of a start (I missed the first few months)
• Winners should be declared on more points then only the train profit. We could use use the average rating too for instance.
• Better names for companies :P.

Our factory supports nearly all cargo-types and exports the products (cars, machines and much more) to all the big cities in our game. Flexibility is very important for us and so we are shipping our cargo via trains, planes and transporters. Every month Oil-Tankers arrive at our near-by Refinery and also ships from far away transport grain and livestock to our all-in-one Logistic Center.

The ship connection was very difficult to built, because the our train entrance is very big and the Junction providing the railnetwork support is kind of bermuda.

I love to watch actions at this Factory and with our #openttdcoop NewGRF Package its looking really nice!

Have a look at all the transport types going along here! 😛

Many #openttdcoop’ers know it already: we have a whole new idea of gameplay ready to start off! This thing is called Coopetition and it’s ment to bringt Cooperation and Competition together into one gameplay. Teams of two players are playing against other competitors in order to achieve the highest train income within two hours (8 years of gameplay).

Some players already teamed up! Read the rules and enlist at #openttdcoop with your team! Join our channel and report in!

The first Coopetition will start on Saturday, August 5th, 16.00 CEST (Berlin)

• 1st Team so far: Osai & Mucht (The Austro-German-Wonder-Team)
• 2nd Team: Challenge them in our IRC-Channel!

Times changing and a lot of things happen these days. Also #openttdcoop is heavily active. Tonight we did a Skype Session: five people in one conference, too much problems with Linux, Mic’s and Bandwith. After some searchings we have choosen Teamspeak as our new voice chat application. It’s available for Windows, Linux and Mac Os X (TeamSpeex, check the latest Nightly).

Actually XeryusTC is running our Teamspeak Server:

• URL: xeryustc.cjb.net:50005
• Password: cooptalk

update by Mucht:thx to Jinx, #openttdcoop has a permanent teamspeak server now! For the first time, it will be used for mainserver games and Coopetition games (subchannels were created for that).Due to several reasons, the adress and passwords will not posted in public – just join in our channel and ask a member for the contact – you’ll be messaged with all you need!
