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!

Ignoring rules "normal" because "everyone does it" 9 years 4 months ago #4458

Hey,

I recently started playing on BTPRO servers, after taking the rules into account very seriously.
I joined a CityBuilder server, and immediately noticed a team with players actively demolishing buildings in their own town.

I reminded them of rules #6 and #10

The answers i got were "[player name] is an admin so he would have stopped me if it wasn't allowed" (player name "wwoutt")

and:

"Everyone does it all the time, only noöne ever complains about it"



So, are these rules to be followed or to be ignored?
I really don't know what to do with this.

hi,

Rule #6 exists, mostly, for public Towns (not claimed) and Cities, to avoid town destruction to place a station closely town center.

About remove buildings in claimed town, I don't see any issue. And I'm actually surprised that you complain about it. Could be bad if happens in public towns/cities but if happened in their claimed town... they were doing a favor to you, don't you agree?

Well, sarcasm aside, it's a common behavior, accepted and recommended, destroy in your claimed town all Fountains, Parks and Statues. Reason: gives 0 population to town and occupies good located tiles.

Hope it gets clear to you now :)

Yes, thank you, this is clear.

But what about rule #10?

As I said this was one of my first games on these servers. Trying to do my best to not break any rules including rule #10 (All rules still apply on your claimed town).

So I refrained from demolishing buildings, having to build around inconvenient building placements. I thought this was part of the challenge. Needless to say that the players who constantly created 3x3 grids (not only destroying parks etc. , also houses etc.) had a much easier time managing their town.

Maybe it's an idea to edit rule #10? Because now it clearly states that demolishing buildings in your own claimed town is strictly forbidden. While it seemingly is allowed. This causes confusion. Especially for new players who may be taking the rules very seriously.

That is true, it is confusing for new players! ST2, I would also recommend changing rule #10 so it doesn't confuse new players and it was me and wwoutt destroying stuff in our town!
I do not accept random friend requests.

Perhaps With Destroying some cities still are allowed, such as 1 piece of home, to put the best station location
