I'll join in.




Two pictures. Bonus points if you can name all the airlines and plane types in the second one.

You can take any continent you want. Since your airline capacity is limited, you can base pretty much anywhere.

Well evidently the max allowed bases is 20. So we'll go with that.

Well the point of giving so much money was to give airlines from Oceania or Africa a fair fighting chance, where you sort of have to go with longhauls.

Done!

One more issue-it seems the world can only be 5 years long if I were to set the start date to 2003. So we'll set the start date to 2001-anyone have any objection to that?

Since I'm able to add money to users at will, your initial starting money will be 10 euros (or some token amount) with 2 billion added once you join. And this should save me about a thousand dollars US. The world as priced out goes for 10,162 tokens, which I can't afford.

Maybe Orangeair or Skylite (or both!) would like to join.....nobody else gives a more generous subsidy!

Okay, well I don't want to end up playing alone so here's my proposal-once I have all slots full I shall create this world. This world will focus on fun and realism rather than being number one on the rankings. Players assume the identity of a real airline and develop their airliners in any way they would like.

World Name: Yourefired's quickie world
World ID: PW #333 (Name: Private World 300-something)
Current year: Starting Jan 1, 2001
Years left: 7 years
End Date: Dec 24, 2008
Max Amount of Players (Spots available): 18 (3 North America, 3 Europe, 4 Asia, 2 each, all other continents)+2 slots for brokers
Max Bases: 20, 20 foreign
Starting Aircraft: None
Starting Cash: €2,000,000,000
Password Needed: Yes
Range of Map: Full World
World Link: N/A

World Terms and Conditions:
It will be commercial aircraft only, and no more than three airlines will be allowed to base at any airport at any time. At airports of below 25 million passengers, two and at airports of below 10 million passengers, only one. All airlines are required to base at at least one airport of below 10 million passengers and one of below 25 million passengers, and are limited no more than two bases at airports of €300,000 and above. If any official brokers are wililng to join and help out, as a reward they will be awarded an additional €15,000,000 per year for brokering expenses, and in exchange, brokers will be allowed to operate no more than 300 routes and be limited to two airports €250,000 and above and a maximum of seven bases. Brokers will be subsidized whenever necessary. "Interest rates" or markup for brokered aircraft is capped at 36% on an annualized basis. Airlines are limited to two frequencies, but total capacity on any route for any airline is limited to the number of seats equal to 1/500 of the average cost of the two airports or 700 seats, whichever is less, and limited to 5,000 seats for all airlines. Total capacity is equal to the number of seats on aircraft times two times frequency. This rule can be waived on a case by case basis, or by consent of competitors. Any airline in need of cash to cover operating expenses will be subsidized to the break-even point, upon request. All routes and bases are first come, first serve. Routes under 75 miles or within the same metropolitan area are prohibited under any circumstances. Rules will be strictly enforced and airlines will be regularly audited to ensure compliance.

Violators will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Anytime an alleged violation is reported or caught, the airline involved will be warned (corrective action will be recommended) and be placed on probation for 72 hours real time. The airline will be given a chance to appeal the ruling or take corrective action. Should the offending airline choose to appeal in writing, a randomly selected jury of members will review the appeal and decide to either clear the airline or uphold the original ruling. Appeal decisions are final and cannot be appealed. If the airline does not take either action within the probationary period, punitive action will be taken against the airline and affected airlines will be given compensation. Punitive action will be proportional to the seriousness of the offense, and include a probationary period of between 6 months game time to 36 months game time. IF within the probationary period the airline is found guilty of a second offense, the airline will be banned.

I'll be taking questions/comments/slot reservations now.

104,414 miles, or ~163,000km over the past ten years. Unfortunately they've been spread across two different alliances (Star Alliance, SkyTeam) and countless different airlines (OZ, UA, US, KE, DL, VX, B6, AA, HP) and the points on some of them weren't collected and/or used up (US, AA, VX, B6, HP). So I only have ~37,000 miles in one account and about 32,000 in the other. I have no idea where the other 27,000 went.

Well here's my flight history 1997-present: http://tinyurl.com/9y8xom

If you do anything to annoy other players on purpose, your out. Oh and yes, I do have the power to ban.

I can't wait for people who don't read the forums to start complaining when they get booted. :roll: This is exactly the reason why private worlds are bad.

Maybe some people would rather play strategically rather than flying to every piece of tarmac within 600 miles of a base.  :roll: :roll:

I'm sure someone from Denver/Minneapolis/Northern Canada will come along and say that they have it the worst, to which I have to say I agree.
