given the fact that "leiden" in german means "pain" i hope your city is not as painful to its inhabitants as it sounds.
what else? ah yeah: postmen are cool

Complaints / Re: Points system in general

as you might imagine the score system works with mathematical formulas. it's a bit hard to tell why the algorithm didn't find a specific game as "impressive" as you, basically because it does not know a term such as "impressive" 
but let's be serious. what i will do is look at the exact values that were used to calculate the score for both games (later when i got access to the database) and compare them. then i might be able to explain the scoring in these two cases and maybe use this knowledge to improve the formula.
i will report my findings here.

cmon dude, we all know you never sleep. your 3 cycles of the day are: 1. work 2. pub 3. playing OpenTTD or patching the client.
where 2. and 3. aren't mutually exclusive ;-)
so you can keep telling that lie and pretend you were sleeping as everyone else but nobody believes you

Hey guys, this is YorVeX. I am the head admin and also the programmer of the extra features you can enjoy on our servers (community login, goal system and scores, vote system, company protection and so on...). Living in Germany and having a quite demanding real life job I try to put as much free time as I can into this n(-)ice community. Fun fact: I have written the most part of the code for OpenTTD features while sitting on a train with my laptop
I hope you enjoy your time on our servers.

Suggestions / Before you make suggestions...
« on: July 22, 2012, 11:30:54 pm »
...that usually can be summed up with "make everything wider, higher, bigger!" you should be aware that server resources are limited. If it was possible we would have made only 4096x4096 servers with a limit of 5000 for all types of vehicles and 2000 companies. Well, you guessed it already: it isn't.
The current server settings are already taking the resources we got into account. So please refrain from such suggestions or at least keep the big picture in mind. If you really need to suggest an increase of something on one server, also say what other server should have resource usage decreased in return so the overall balance stays the same.
That said, all other suggestions are welcome and will be discussed, us admins often talk about possible changes ourselves and we're open to new ideas any time.
