Public Server Game 264

Game Date:	9.8.2013-14.8.2013
Usual suspects:	V453000, Mark,mfb, LoPo, Jam35, Anson, Gash, Slicey (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL 10 (& various SL transfers)
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Sub-Tropical
Version used:	r25627 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	The large TL/CL meant it was convenient to build transfer stations at sidelines with some nice results Perhaps the challenging nature of ML expansion was a factor, but this game didn't seem to gather much interest and it was decided to move on at the 800 train mark.

4 way CL10 BBH :).

Public Server Game 263

Game Date:	16.07.2013-9.8.2013
Usual suspects:	V453000, Mark, Vinnie, Sylf, mfb, Maraxus, Jam35, scshunt, Steverov, Tray, phatmatt, dino, ZestyLemons (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	TL 4
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Artic
Version used:	r25627 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	With the new PURR Universal Rainbow Rails, we tried to make an organic game which would keep memory of what was built when. Unfortunately we did not get to the last stage of building green before declaring the game to be over.

Public Server Game 262

Game Date:	27.06.2013 - 16.07.2013
Usual suspects:	Vinnie, Sylf, mfb, V453000, Maraxus, Anson, ZxBiohazardZx, scshunt, Steverov, fonsinchen (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo Cargodist
Trainlength:	TL 5
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Artic
Version used:	r25575 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	This game we experimented some more with cargodist. We made the trains refit to their secondary and then drop their cargo in each of the 8 SLH drops before returning to their primary. A nice idea but in practice we encountered problems with conditional orders that either break cargodist links or do not fully unload cargo. Many trains were driving around empty with minimal (e.g half of one car full) loads. Because of these problems the interest in this particular game became to low to continue. So we ended with a little over 666 trains.

Public Server Game 261

Game Date:	11.06.2013 - 27.06.2013
Usual suspects:	Sylf, mfb, LoPo, Maraxus, Vinnie, Brumi, ZxBiohazardZx, scshunt, fonsinchen (extend)
Gametype:	Pax Cargodist
Trainlength:	TL 5
Mapsize:	512 x 512 Temperate
Version used:	r25385 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	We tried the brand new feature that was committed to OpenTTD trunk lately - cargo distribution. We started by coop's standard ICE/SBahn networks. Most players were puzzled by how passengers decided on their destinations and their routes. And many didn't bother to try to solve the cargo balance issue too seriously. Players quickly lost interest in this game, so we're abandoning this game incomplete.
