Welcome to the BTPro OpenTTD Community

This community was build around the game: OpenTTD
OpenTTD is an (Free) open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe

 

!!! Please note that a few servers have been shut-down !!!
Most of the times these servers were doing nothing (no players),
that's why I've decided to slim down the number of OpenTTD servers running.

I have made a selection to keep the most popular servers online.
If you miss a OpenTTD server that you REALLY played a lot, please do post
in the forums. I will then check if I can get it back online!

I'm trying to work from now on with only 1 physical server to
run all OpenTTD instances!

The following servers have been shut down recently:

1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 & 18

Currently we have 4 Server Operators:

Frank, ST2, Wacko1976, Inscius!

We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...

 
NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.

 
If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

the definition of blocking 11 years 9 months ago #1107

hello,

just wanted to say that in my opinion its not blocking if i build a street-grid just to make the cities growth. i do that just because its the optimal threatment to advance growth.

i know that many people are interested to build stations in large cities, and everybody is welcome, but i think its not ok to say that my street-grid, increasing the process of growth for more than 10 years, is an attempt to block other players, just because they want to place their stations in the middle of my well-grown city.

The official rules mention already that blocking other players is not allowed. As well active as passive blocking is forbidden.

Active: Reserving land in front of the spot where another player is currently building to stop him/her.
Passive: Reserving land e.g. around a factory/town to prevent others from building near that spot.

“Reserving land” can mean putting rails or other obstructions there or buying land – anything that makes it impossible for another player to build there. Occupy at maximum 50% of the space around an industry/town (or 2 of 4 sides).

So what you are mainly looking at there is the last area but that should have covered it all.

Lux, I entered your account and deleted your road because your road effectively boxed your opponents station in and prevented expansion, you road served no purpose to your company and you were ignoring his requests for you to delete it.

sure it is a good way to grow cities. but what it DOES is totaly block the city off from everyone else since they can not build anything.

you are allowed to do this in 1 direction only.

I believe that what Ivanoz meant was it's ok to expand a TOWN with your roads in one direction in the TOWN, obviously it should be acceptable to grow 2 towns in a similar fashion for passenger traffic ect.
