The world isn't going to end. It's just going to split.

Can we have a choice for the date we are going to instead of private pool for one of the world (one for the Earth and one for the Mars).

the gods have a choice, i don't even have a choice anymore.

gogo magic random number generator.

mind you, you can choose which world to join, however, the make-up of the worlds (starting year) is out of my hands.

I hope we get details on multiworlds soon.  Alliances have to talk about which world to join and some other specifics before starting the next round.

Uhm. exact numbers are hard to predict with this level of RNG (random number generation).  There will be a blanket 36-48 hour idle period for all new worlds, to make amends for this fact at the moment.

There will also be enough worlds created by force to support about 3900+ players in total cap room. (there's presently 2976 active players in the world).

At the moment i'm fighting with a bug in the actual world generation script... but hopefully i'll have it sorted out in the morning (i need sleep).  When it's done, some details may be released in some kind of the general mechanics of multiworlds before this age ends, however, again. the exact worlds will be an unknown until i force them into the world (as frankly, there's about two or three dozen random number generators kicking in here and there).

In other good news, the bug list for multiworlds is fairly short now, so I think we really can make it on time this time!. hurrah! (sorry about the wait).

Whats the max players per world in each public world?

1000? :?

It will scale as to the contents of the world, so if i state a number now, and a dozen airports are added, my number is invalid.  If for some reason we cut out (as we should) a few of the bigger airports, the number will be invalid. the script will show you (when you can select the world), both how many players are in that world as well as how many can be in that world.

In a few days, is it appropriate to sing the REM song 'It the end of the world as we know it'?

Could the next round please be a continuation of this round? I'm actually doing quite well and I'd be very upset to see it all go away.

Or have the option to make it a continuation instead of reset? Or create one game where it's a continuation and the rest would be a reset?

Any more synonyms for the end of the world, or the end of the round, or the month the game is in and this thread is locked. No countdown threads please.

Well, can we count down when where in the last month? (which is approaching at a record speed of 100000 billion miles a light year)

Um....maybe not. How bout a 25 year round starting in 1985? And require a plane replacement every 15 years.
Title: Near World's End...!
Post by: Air Elbonia on March 28, 2008, 09:17:39 pm
25 year games are possibly going to randomly pop up with the automatic world generation script I've put together for multiworlds, However they're highly unlikely.  They've to a loose probability of 1/25th of 1% of occurring at the moment.  no forced plane changes at the moment though.

Post by: yourefired on March 28, 2008, 09:21:49 pm
Do we get to do stopovers sometime soon?

But a 15 year round would be interesting....then I can actually implement my long term strategy :)

No.

And forced plane replacement won't come, a maintenance function which would result in planes realistically aging is planned though.

Yes, a maintenaince function can be very nice... And the possibility for the plane to crash if they are or too old or with no maintenaince...

I don't know if we're gonna do crashes as well, but that's still up for discussion. The entire thing is up for discussion still anyway :)

BTW, I liked your old logo better :wink:

Ooooooooooooooooohh, here it comes!!!  Not much longer now!!

I'm really not going to do much from here on in.  I'll just let the game play itself out and then start over when the world comes to an end!  HAHA!!!

Me too. If the round was a year or two longer, I'd look into ordering an Airbus or two, but it's not worth it as the round will have ended when I go to pick up the plane.
