Complaints / Re: Points system in general

Well, WTF from South Africa did that. And ST2 banned him....and i agree with that...if i`d caught someone selling his trains right at the end just to score more points , i`d ban too.

As for your idea of penalizing late entries...I just got one question....WHY?
It`s hard enough for a player having to catch up....but being penalized....seems totally unfair...and also will ruin the number of players that actually try to catch up even if the oponent is far ahead.
Beside...xor is right...as soon as he changes the calculation formula ,a new thread will appear asking him to get back to the old formula.

Server 8 Temperate Extreme Goal (20 Bilion Goal,2000-2300) / Re: 8 difficulty

« on: July 31, 2012, 06:26:08 pm »

yup, at least in 1 thing we all agree, in reduce "town_growth_rate" as a balance trying (in other topic)... and I'll suggest it for #5 too 

Reducing town growth rate wouldn`t be a bad idea...even for server 5. Compared to other ideas that have been presented and repeated to me, this one seems ok....and i think it will make gameplay a bit more fair...and not so easy to win with towns.

Suggestions / Re: Additional points

« on: July 31, 2012, 03:11:49 pm »

Hey TechNoir

As an answer to your suggestions:

You can get even 5 points for a game...depends on what u did in that game. The score algorythm is secret but if you think about it, it`s pretty logic what u get points for and what u don`t get points for.Therefore, i`ll answer to your suggestions:

1. most passengers transported - (u already get points for the quantity of cargo that u transported so the more u transport, the more u get)
2. most trees planted - if players would know that we give points that, everybody would try to grab some points by planting
3. most coal transported- the same as passengers
4. highest profit on vehicle - you already get points for that via performance score
5. highest average income - the same as passenger number
6. Most primary industries funded - personally, i don`t agree with that since i consider that funding industries is just a replacement for real work (making transfer rail systems)
7. highest average rating per station - i agree with this proposal.....it would make players learn about a good rating for a station
8. crashed trains(points deducted) - yes, i agree with that too, that would make players more responsible
9. caught by regional investigators after bribery - i don`t agree because not being able to work near that town for a year is a hard enough punishment, it would be too much
10. highest number of tracks - if we would do that, players would start making thousands of tiles of tracks, and i think it`s already included in the scoring somewhere but no directly
11. biggest production of goods - the reward for that is a higher profit and finishing the server faster, therefore getting more points:)

I hope i was of help....personally, i think a discussion about that list of proposals would be useful:)

Server 8 Temperate Extreme Goal (20 Bilion Goal,2000-2300) / Re: 8 difficulty

« on: July 26, 2012, 09:23:12 am »

This is a concern i've had for some time and with the new forum i thought i might aswell start a thread on here to see what other people think. Personally, i believe there should be changes made to the settings in order to make things fairer. Either the map size should be increased or the start and end years are changed. Conventional railed technology is highly inferior on desert in comparison to temperate and i believe that getting monorails earlier on is a good solution. However, i may not the best suited to judge as i've only played a few games on there so i am interested to hear the opinions of everyone who has played on #8(and especially geert as he's probably to only person to have won consistently to my knowledge). I hope i'm not the only one who would like change on this server as it'll take a few people to agree for this to even be considered as an idea. So, what is everyone's thoughts on the matter?

Cossack, thank you for posting here:). We already agreed on some changes to make for server 8 and when deciding, i also thought about making it easier. As for your idea "make map bigger" ,  it would be possible ...it you would talk to the Open TTD devs and tell them to make map max bigger:) Until then i`m afraid that 2048 is max.

Complaints / Re: Points system in general

« on: July 25, 2012, 09:32:43 pm »

Myhorta is right. Btw St2, i don`t agree with Found_Town=0 because if you start the game in 2000 (after 40 years) the number of industries dramatically decreased so basically you need to fund industries and you can`t start searching all over the map on where are the places where industries dissapeared so you can fund a new.It`s simpler to fund a town and then fund an industry even if...it`s quite expensive. However, i would agree with Town Growth Rate decrease.

As for Geert`s complaint, i would advise him to record his data more accurate (no of trains, duration of game, duration of his company.......) and the answers will come themselves

Introduction / alex879ro

« on: July 23, 2012, 10:14:48 am »

Holla Everybody,

I`m alex879ro , admin and operator on N-ice servers. I`m 23 years old and I live in the capital city of Romania (Bucharest) . I`m the kind of guy with a lot of passions (Ski, Surfing, Swimming, Cycling, Mountain climbing,Mechanics, Physics .....and so and so)  The computer is definetly inside there somewhere. I`m not expert but if anyone explains, i try to understand it as good as I can.

I`ve been in the N-ice team for almost a year and half now (I am the pupil of the guy that doesn`t sleep AND proud of that:P) I am known as the harshest admin around here and yes....it`s true ....I am responsible for the majority of bans on N-ice
I am a big fan of Long Runs servers. I proposed server 8 as a Desert Long Run and the proposed the 15 billion goal on server 5 I can hardly wait to use this forum to see opinions about the Long Runs.
I also check the servers at random times and under random names so I got the same 3 advices as ST2 for you players:

1: Comply to the rules
2: If any questions : ask
3: Enjoy the game cause in the end it is what`s all about
