Welcome, Guest

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

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!

Rule 5 - no sabotage 8 years 6 months ago #4863

well but every comepeting is about decreasing someones´ income and slowing him not to win..

I very often join games which have been running for several years...and the only way for me to have a chance to win is to compete others to decrease their income
so if competing is not desired here, just tell me and I will not do it
if there are some conditions please tell me
(f.e. ..you can´t compete transporting the shortest possible way..)

I am not trying to find the way how to bypass the rules, I´m trying to get some anwsers so I can play without the risk of being reseted or banned.

Competition is not the same as sabotage. Competition on primary industries is allowed on our servers, that's not an issue.	Hawky Offline Moderator Posts: 56 Thank you received: 15

I did not said that! I know that competition is allowed, but at the start to the end you keep only for me (which I do station, hop it), 5 or more games do the same, and in the game are only to him, notIt is sabotage? I think so ! miss not love	cortex Offline Elite Member Posts: 168 Thank you received: 21

Rule 5 - no sabotage 8 years 6 months ago #4867

Well recently I was told that even competition on primary industries can be called sabotage if I am transporting right to the nearest secondary industry. It was about coal, another player had a main line built on it, so I started to compete for that coal - I transported it to the nearest power station only to decrease his income. So was it competition or was it sabotage?	acoma Topic Author Offline New Member Posts: 17 Thank you received: 0

it's sad that so many people don't understand OpenTTD and specifically some server goals.
and saying that compete with someone to slow his income, is unhealthy (option 1), when the idea of the game is to increase your income (option 2), competing, if necessary. this distorted idea of the game goal (option 1) creates bad environment in the games because it's the negative approach to reach the game goal.

not all has to be written in the rules and when someone plays in a way that causes malaise in the game spirit and fun, admins act. So, acoma, if you can't be better that others unless with dirty competition, just tell me, and I'll suggest you to go play somewhere else. because I'll work to keep games fun and enjoyable to all, keeping away persons who play negatively causing bad environment on games and servers. you, same as cortex, are testing rules edges and most important, my patience.
