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!

I see no reason in keeping it a secret. By releasing the formula you will most likely see even more competitive players on servers ;)

If you post the whole formula including all the plusses and minuses will result in people focussing on a specific things which brings in more points in a game, which ultimately results in boring games and people walking away BECAUSE it is so boring...

What about that Saber? :-P

If you want to see where you need to focus more you can do a mini "reverse engineering' in the scoring system. You could keep a spreadsheet with things like the cv, playtime, performance, number of vehicles. At some point (enough games and analyzing) a pattern will probably emerge. Might be worth it if you want to maximize score (although there is a big chance that it will be a typical case of too much work for too little benefit).

@Frank: you might be right although if the scoring system is balanced enough (which I think it is for the most part on Btpro) there would be little harm to gameplay if people try to maximize score as they have a lot of areas to focus on regardless.

At the end of the day, I imagine that most people would rather win than get a few extra points :-)

And reality is that in the 4 and 8k CB games it would make a difference of 0-1 points only usually. And if you waste time on trying to get that extra point, you might actually lose points because an opponent beat you, or you took longer to reach the goal.
