Title: Turbo world
Post by: 1993matias on March 21, 2011, 07:30:03 pm
Hello!

Is anyone interested in a world where your airline will explode out of nothing? I'm thinking a fairly short world where no replacement is necessary. You just have to expand. And expand. And expand until there's no more room in the world. Until you've reached world domination - or beaten on the way.

I'm thinking no rules. Tough competition and no mercy.

What do you say?

This is how the world would be:

Start year: 2003
Game lenght: 5 years
Starting gate quantity: 1 gate
Start aircraft: ERJ-170LR
Starting aircraft quantity: 5 aircraft
Maximum bases: 12
Maximum foreign bases: 5
Starting cash: £ 1.000.000
Game password: Ask in a PM or reply to this post.
Aircraft types: Commercial & Business Jet Aircraft
Maximum players: 10
Route maps: Improved
World name: PW #1887 - No mercy

The world is now open; the world begins Friday.

Current players:

1993matias - - - -Atlanta (Atlanta Lightning)
Virgin Serbia - - - Beijing (Sinoviet Airlines)
Mastafa
Flybynight747 - - Tokyo HND (JAYAIR)
Hal - - - - - - - - Detroit (Detroit Airlines)
GPWestjet - - - - Sydney (Badiuk Airlines)
Bindu - - - - - - -London LHR (AIAGE)
Gopats1479 - - - New York JFK (Blue Line)

A very quick world is 3 yrs long...
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: 1993matias on March 21, 2011, 08:57:45 pm
Yeah, but I'm thinking a 5-year world where it isn't needed to replace aircraft. That way you can expand as much as you want without thinking of the consequences.

Well, looks like I will have to spend 3 yrs regional before long haul.

P.S. when does it start?
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: 1993matias on March 22, 2011, 07:35:31 am
When enough interested people say they're interested. In other words, as soon as possible.

I'm in. Can we keep player numbers very low, max 10 players?
Title: Re: Turbo world

Okay, I'll count :)

Do you want to reserve a starting base? Or will you surprise us?
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: Virgin Serbia on March 22, 2011, 01:37:04 pm
Yup. I'll reserve Beijing.

Is this a full world?
Do you have a particular date/time you will start it?
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: 1993matias on March 22, 2011, 05:05:10 pm
It will be a full world and I expect to begin on Friday or Saturday. That I will tell you all on Thursday.

Would you like to join the fun? ;)

If you mean this week, then I won't join.

I'm going to hold out to see if the next public world is a full world that's at least 5 years long.

Thanks for helping VS :D

But can you help me choose a starting plane?
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: Hal on March 22, 2011, 09:46:19 pm
what about A319 or A318.
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: Virgin Serbia on March 22, 2011, 09:48:16 pm
How about something exotic, like the 737-700, Tu-154M, Tu-204, 717 or MD-90?
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: Hal on March 22, 2011, 09:50:56 pm
B717 is OK, A320 or MD90 is not good due mx costs.
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: 1993matias on March 22, 2011, 09:52:20 pm
I'd like something 'exotic' too. I think the Tu-204 would be good, together with the A320 and 737.
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: Hal on March 22, 2011, 09:57:15 pm
At start you will need to make money to buy another a/c and with A320 or TU-204 the mx cost will be eating too much money.
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: 1993matias on March 22, 2011, 09:58:37 pm
What about 5x ERJ-170LR? Or the CRJ-701LR? What would be best?
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: Hal on March 22, 2011, 10:01:37 pm
Both are good i think i will be preffering ERJs it this world.
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: 1993matias on March 22, 2011, 10:14:40 pm
5x ERJ-170LR it is, then.
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: GPWestjet on March 22, 2011, 11:35:50 pm
I would like to join as Badiuk Airlines out of Sydney Australia.

5x ERJ-170LR it is, then.

Perfect start A/C. Versatile, low MX, good range and wont need replacing from initial start routes.

Naturally, Airlines will upgrade to larger spec aircraft as the game develops.

Good choice.

Thanks for letting me join.

Bring it ON

Please note the world begins Thursday noon GMT. There will be 24 hours (until Friday) before the world clock starts, so you do have a chance to make it as one of the first.

Note to players:

Please respect airports that have been reserved. Avoid competition if possible, there is really no reason to start out with all 10 airlines based in Atlanta, LHR or HND. Just spread out, at least in the first year or two.
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: 1993matias on March 23, 2011, 02:02:12 pm
I.e. don't have the same starting base as other airlines, but the purpose of this world is to have as much competition as possible ;)
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: BINDU on March 23, 2011, 03:35:34 pm
As far as I can tell, LHR hasn't been taken yet, so I'll do A
IAGE based in LHR. If LHR is taken then second in FRA

That leaves 3 open spaces!

Sorry, but I think this goes completely against what's stated in the first post...

I'm thinking no rules. Tough competition and no mercy.
Title: Re: Turbo world
Post by: 1993matias on March 23, 2011, 04:52:21 pm
What I mean is you can state what base you will start with. I don't say two airlines can't have the same starting base, I just don't recommend it.

It's not a rule. Just a suggestion that for the pleasure of playing, we don't start our airline at the same airport as a competitor. Competition will inevitably come, but with only 10 players, it would be idiotic to have multiple players based at one airport to begin with.

There's only three years left. Charlotte Douglas is currently dominated by a mega-airline.

It's your choice.
