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!

Well on most of our servers we have an automatic reset policy for companies which can be seen in game by using the following command: !resetinfo

All servers have slightly different reset times depending on how popular they are to ensure free spaces at all times of the day if people have left their companies are no longer ingame.

For server 11 the automatic resets information is shown below.

Automatic reset: passworded: 24 month(s); not passworded: 12 month(s); no vehicles: 1 month(s)

Given that one year in OpenTTD is 13.505 minutes. This means that a 24 month passworded company would be reset after 27 minutes of not being in the game.

To avoid your company being autocleaned you should always be present in your company or make it up before the timer expires.

In your case of being offline for about 11 hours. You have had your company reset automatically. Also the typical length of the game for server 11 is much less than the 11 hours too. So by the time you came back on, possible 1 or even 2 more games could have been played in this time.

I hope this clears up the mystery of automatic resets for offline players

thanks you have been very polite and very explicit , but still not fair , at this moment 29% is completed, when i left the game 11 hours ago i was like 9 % , this server must take some hours to fininsh .
its very frustating seen all hard work destroyed ... oh well next time i must read more rules

Next time i can do only 1 thing , go to sleep and letf the game online and logged in ....

I am sorry to hear about what happened though, it has happened to all of us at some stage in our gaming career. We do try our best to ensure that our policies are fair to all players ingame or not. Obviously the longer the goal of the server, the harder it is to strike that perfect balance.

My best advice will be the same as what you just said. If you are going to sleep or be away for a long period of time then it will always be best to stay logged into the server and be in your company.
