Zero Tolerance

Daniel Doorgakant · **on:** October 11, 2007, 06:53:50 pm

Just to let you know that the happy little Membership Director has a little more free time. I've noticed that even though the game has not started yet, airlines are already doing some *.5 abuse. These airlines have been suspended until they are further advised. When the game starts there will be Zero Tolerance on the *.5 abuse. You ARE allowed to have 0.5 frequency on routes, say if its a longhaul, all your plane can manage etc, just do not be foolish enough to place two *.5's on the same route, it really is not logical. If you are found to have multiple flights on the same route with this *.5 abuse, you will also be in the red. Set the frequency to 1, 2, 3 etc instead.

Use the *.5 frequency sensibly. Have a nice day

CDG-LHR is again full of idiots... but I think I already sent you a message :twisted:

how about those airlines have with few leased in planes?
I don't understand where the plane come from.
who will leased out their only plane at start?
The airlines with leased out plane:
ID:2887,2885,2884,4389,4154,4323,3168,3476,4376,5038
The airlines with leased in plane:
ID:4536,4478,4517,3324,2474,4546,648,5044(7 plane leased in),2061,4250
please take a look.

According to StephenM, the limit is 2x0.5 per route so I hope the administrators will sort this discrepancy in rules out. Unfortunately, I find that 1x0.5 is still the best use of resources. Anyhow, the game will be reset again.

Hihi, I'm 2061!

Shame the game will be reset since these leases I grabbed before going into debt are absolute steals! Cheap leases don't stay on the market long because people (like me) snatch them within seconds!

I take it to mean that you can have two 0.5 routes to the same destination--but not using the same aircraft.

I think that'd be unreal as well!

Why? It just means that you'd have two airplanes beginning and ending there every other day.

Uh sorry, I misread your post. As far as I know, up to 2 0.5 are allowed. But than again read Daniel Doorgakant somewhere in this thread:

Im you saw that guy with 6-8 0.5's on CDG - LHR :wink: (The one you pointed out to me)

EXTspotter · **Reply #9 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:53:33 pm

There is one guy at LHR who has multiple 0.5s all over the UK.

Here is where we need clarification...

If a single plane is doing more than two x.5 routes (that includes 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, etc., then it shouldn't be allowed, right?

digifreak · **Reply #11 on:** October 12, 2007, 01:02:16 am

Just a question... is it a problem to have 0.5 frequencies to different destinations? For instance 1 0.5 frequency from Oporto to Frankfurt, then one from OPO to LHR then one from OPO to MAD?

IMO, I would think yes. It's impossible for an airplane to do three one-way trips in one day from the same city.

It does have problems with realism, as discussed many times over last round. However Stephen decided to allow a max of 2x 0.5 per route. Therefore, 1x 0.5s is actually within the rules of this game to my understanding.

Well... anyhow I've changed everything after the last reset!
