Complaints / Re: Missing points on server 7

Hey Beavis,
the points are calculated if somebody visit the top100 list. So sometimes it takes some time. You can speed up this when you visit the top100 list yourself

Ban/Unban Requests / Re: Ban Appeal

« on: August 15, 2015, 06:26:30 pm »

Dear Levy,

welcome to n-ice community. Obviously it wasn´t a good start for you, you are baned.
 
you have figured out the reason:

I used trains to destroy many of a large company's road vehicles so they wouldn't hit the goal before I could finish building.

You have broken the multiplayer rule: Don't deliberately sabotage your opponents vehicles. The ban is temporary for a week. In the meantime you can read and understand our rules and I hope that you will play within rules in future.

Hi Tobi,

you have gotten a temporary ban. After one day is elapsed (starting from yesterday evening) you are able to play on our servers. Read and respect our rules and react if an admin is talking to you. This is just a well-intentioned advice.

Server 2 Temperate Mini-CityBuilder (3000 population,2005-2030) / Re: Why did my score go from 20 back to 9 and back to 22 when doing nothing?

« on: March 05, 2015, 07:27:30 am »

Well, there are some reasons of this behavior. I guess there was a performance change during your inactivity, for example:

• you bought some vehicles before > performance go down > points go down
• delivered cargo decreased meanwhile > performance go down again > points go down for some time
• time elapsed > points also go down, but points will increase later with a better performance than before

As I stated before I guess there was a performance change only.

General / Re: How do you get a highscore on citybuilder servers?

« on: February 24, 2015, 09:16:53 am »

Be quick, have a high performance rating and use as few vehicles as possible.


For a fast town growth you have to deliver the required cargo every month, have a good reputation and a good road layout in your claimed town. Look here https://wiki.openttd.org/Towns


The city-builder script at server 2 and r1 is not as equal as at server 6. But there are the same basic requirements.

hi tiger,

I guess you mean this game:

2015-01-28 12:26:03   9   2   2,040,880 / 0   3360 / 10   1   Yes

The message was shown due the long playtime in relation to goal. Fortunately you have gotten 9 points.




Edit: damn, geo won the cake

Suggestions / Re: About scoring, number of vehicles and railroad networks beauty !

« on: December 29, 2014, 07:24:35 pm »

Hi Yakoutsk,

thank you for your post and I even can say that your way of thinking beyond the game is very interesting. I assume that you have read the page about calculation of score - many hints are pointed here. So I´m sorry that I cannot answer more precise (i know you expect it).


But I try to answer your questions:

Auxiliary question 1 : what if i reduce the number of small trains just before reaching the goal ?

It is known and many player have reduced the number of vehicles at the end of game to increase the points. Few weeks ago we have fixed it and now it makes no sense for doing it. No worries if the vehicle performance is quite good.

Auxiliary question 2 : i don't know the real influence of this parameter on scoring, but it is obvious that my remark is not very relevant if the influence is low (<5%). Can you give us more detail about this part of the calculation ?

No, further I am honest that I cannot say how many percent your remark involves - it´s a very complex formula.

Suggestions / Re: Reporting progress on cargo per month servers

« on: November 08, 2014, 08:22:00 pm »

hi,

you can see the current amount with the "!cv" or "!goal" also. More precise display is in the town info (just click the name of claimed town in map).

And just for info,  the periods aren´t reseted at same time for every company because the period starts with new company start. In fact the server progress shows the current value from all companies only. It  would be an alternative to show the previous amounts of cargo from all companies on the story book page (newspaper button).
