haha I didn;t mention anything about sexual preference. I was simply meaning stop sulking, which you edited to suit better.

You typed "suking" which both d1-3508 and myself misunderstood as a typo of ... er... another word (*edited)

D man.. leave the innocent little boy alone~ stop polluting this world!

Do I need to ask the mods to keep it clean?

How about getting us some cleaning supplies?

Or may fine the people who litter

Not if you take away the mod, then you ask the general pubic to keep clean

I did infact type suking.
I believe my original comment was.

Stop suking, i think I missed out the "L", which in a round about way was a sarcastic comment meaning. stop sulking. I didn;t mention anything about sexual preference. Infact it was you and d1-3508 who are the ones thinking sexual innuendo.

I'm not trying to flame this either. Just putting my point across.

I apologize for skipping to conclusion (which is how me as a mod see players posting... not that some of you didn't give me that kind of impression... but anyway~~) and for acting immature (like a teen boy, which I am, who think about only a couple of things... and I won't say what). If the admins think it is appropriate, they can take whatever actions they want (including what Daniel has suggested).

Would it be better to have the gates limited as a percentage of total gates? My Airline is realllly tiny and my plane that was on order just came in. I was going to use that slot for that plane. Kinda makes me grumpy.

Ok, this is starting to bug me. It's Aug 1st, and my unused gates (purchased in preparations for a new base, my first) are gone.

DO I get anything for those when they're taken away?

Unused gates get removed at the end of each month. Just rent them out again afterwards and make sure you set up some routes on them before the next month (ie. you have 24 hours)

No, you don't get anything when they're taken away, however they're taken away before the fees are charged, so you pay nothing that month for them.

WindyCityFlyers · **Reply #27 on:** September 07, 2007, 05:25:09 am

well... if you really want to limit how an airline grows.... then limit how many gates they can buy per month... lets say 2....

I started a new base... at an airport where no one owned more than 3 gates...

all of a sudden... within an hour... some big airline came through.... bought 10 gates.... and setup routes using them all up....

this is ridiculous... and I can't expand my base again because I can't buy more gates....

That occurred to me about the time I hit send. Makes sense.

I do feel that if you want to encourage competition and alliances that the best thing you can do is to build a percentage limit into the game. secretsquirrel airlines cannot own more than 10% of the gates at any given airport unless it's a base...blah, blah....

I had gates at 2 airports that I had intended to make into bases. I also had a spare at my original starting base (very new to this.) was going to be for .

I'll get used to it, though. It's fun!

See the thread about terminal, which will be implemented after the coming reset. When it is implemented, there will be a cap on the number of gates a player could hold at a certain airport without a terminal.
