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 number 3 9 years 2 months ago #4661

I dont think so, if the cities are open for everyone, even if you look after, then there should be opportunity to build more statitons by players on one factory... it is a competition game, autors of the game didnt ban it. Sorry guys but for me its pointless rule.	Maydlo Topic Author Offline New Member Posts: 9 Thank you received: 0

The authors of OpenTTD ONLY made the game, NOT servers. Rule #3 is there for a good reason! STOP moaning about it or you will end up making Pass/Mail a secondary/tertiary cargo so then only ONE company can be in a ONE city at any time! I do not accept random friend requests.

As ST2 already pointed out. Cities are considered primary resources, they also pretty much work the same way. A city being serviced usually makes them grow (except on CB servers, or on some desert CV servers where it's turned off). Servicing an industry usually makes the industry's production grow, especially on long runnings servers as K1.

There are servers where no competition at all is allowed, I'd suggest to find one of those. Because we believe that the competition is fun, as long as it's not too unfair.

Taking goods from a secondary industry that someone else is providing the primary resources for, is unfair. And it's really simple to avoid any problems. You just find another secondary industry to bring your resources to, if one is being used by someone else already.

And on a final note, if you're really putting effort into growing cities on CV servers, instead of just taking the passengers and mail and moving on to another project to build on, you're generally wasting time and being inefficient, unless it's on K1 again maybe. And I know what the next argument will be, but if you're not playing for a fast time, then what does a little competition in a city matter anyway?

Maydlo has the right to have his opinion, and can be different from ours but in OpenTTD, firstly, you respect global Multiplayer Rules and secondly our BTPro server rules. Until now havent't seen any Maydlo's valid argument for any rule #3 change so, will be kept as it is now.	ST2 Offline Administrator Posts: 1222 Thank you received: 628

It isnt unfair... if everybody can do that, there will be much more competition, players will try to ruin each other, and thats what i want, more competitiv rivals players, it will be harder to reach the goal.	Maydlo Topic Author Offline New Member Posts: 9 Thank you received: 0

What ST2 said. From the Multiplayer rules:

Always follow the rules set down by the server owner. These may include no "industry stealing" where one player starts a more competitive route than another. This probably varies on a per server basis so if and when a server administrator or operator requests you to stop your current activities because they do not follow the server's guidelines, then do so because excessive rule breaking may result in a ban which might prevent you from playing on any of the official and non official OpenTTD servers.

It's like i said ingame, we have a logical reason for this rule. This time we just don't agree with you. Read what ST2 and vGelder again, perhaps you'll understand.

It's good that you're trying to improve the servers, don't hesitate to do more suggestions if you have any.

@Dan: calm down man, no need to be rude...
