OFFICAL Gate Problems (all gone) thread

Well he was quite reasonable. Informed me of a vacant gate to rent at Rome, so I snapped it up before someone else had the chance to.

Good to hear he was reasonable. I'll still keep trying to figure out a solution to the problem in general.

the limit of planes/route is possible, but unlikely to have a huge impact (as frankly, it likely would just mean the dumping gets spread out more).

You know what, I'm feeling in a good mood.

Here's a name & shame list

I think I'm not responsible for ITM, I own 34 gates only...instead of 131...
For HND, there is where my headquarter located. I'm sharing routes with 9 airlines and I only provide 29% seats...I will try freeing some more gates after restructuring routes from HND.

But you should know that gates in HND will never be enough, just like LHR...the competition in East Asia region is fierece. I noticed that those 65+ players based in HKG earlier have now spread over from big cities to even very small cities in the region...

I have submitted data of new airports in Japan to admins. Hope this will help ease the competition.

I think what dl-3508 means is that those on the lists are the ones practice either one or more of the followings:

- gate hogging
- spamming routes with small plane and holding up a large amount of gates because of thhat
- "0.5 airlines"

and Dora, you may fall under the "0.5 airlines" category. (this post is just a speculation without judging the rights or wrongs of any players)

Well, kids, watch closely. This is how you can actually use all 130 gates:

One thing's for sure, if you want to fly from Frankfurt to Bremen, you're in for a cheap flight. I can see the press release already:

With 705 flights per day, which is slightly over 29 flights per hour, you are guaranteed a place on a flight. If you happen to miss one, just take the flight leaving two minutes later! It's almost like taking the train, but this is actually faster! Convenience guaranteed. One problem though, with one airplane flying the exact same route every two minutes, in-air delays will be extremely frequent. This is not the fault of our management, it's the fault of the German Air Traffic Controllers. We apologize for their lack of insight when trying to separate 29 airplanes flying the same airways. It should be easy.

Frankfurt Airport has dedicated its entire Terminal A to our flights from Frankfurt to Bremen. We have 71 gates opened for you, so you can check in without having to wait in a line. Please do show up 2 hours before departure time, because with our current schedule, we cannot have any delays.

I am wondering the quality of players here... since this round. We used to have good quality players... but I am not too sure right now :?

MrOrange · **Reply #22 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:13:08 am

Basically, if your ID is 615 or lower, you'll be fine :wink: Well, seriously, the ID actually tells you quite a lot (in most cases)

Well, in that case I would be way out of this "fine-range".

With an ID of 1000+ I can't help it.

On the other hand you're quite right as the ID lets you estimate how long this particular player is registered to AM and how much he has improved since then.

Dora · **Reply #25 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:25:26 am

Maybe we can have a AM lecture to teach new players how to play this game and turn into a good quality player

I'm a not-so-good player though... :?

MrOrange · **Reply #26 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:47:40 am

Well, it's really true. Most players you tend to find 'low quality' are players with an id over 800. I'm sorry for all those 'high quality' players with +800 ID's, clearly, you're the usual exception to the rule. We can schedule a lecture, but I think reading through this thread and imagining the use of 29 flights per hour in a real-life situation should do

WARREN · **Reply #27 on:** August 11, 2007, 12:38:16 am

I will try my best to improve my 'quality'in this game. But, it is not an easy task for my company to make a balanced decision between the profit and 'quality' .In fact , we can create 0.5 airlines under the game rules,if I give up to create '0.5 airlines' .The other airlines in Asia will also use this methods(0.5airlines) to compete with my company......I will return some extra gates as soon as possible.

Anyway,I hope all of us can enjoy this game.

A lot of things are valid, just some things aren't "appreciated", "liked", "looked-well-upon" or "fair".
