Public Server Game 317

Game Date:	31.07.16 - 10.09.16
Usual suspects:	Mark, dwarf, Jam35, Arveen, Starlite, maqifrnswa, Macha, tycoondemon, Garogolun, be8f07c4 (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	7 Superstrong "X E Qt R"
Mapsize:	512x1024 Temperate
Version used:	r27595 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	An organic style network that we tried to make follow the terrain. It made some hubs large and tricky to make fit, especially when it was time to expand.

A dense cluster of industries made pretty.

Public Server Game 316

Game Date:	29.06.16 - 31.07.16
Usual suspects:	Maraxus, dwarf, Jam35, Arveen, shenghi, Verdiremulo, Hazzard, maqifrnswa, lol (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	2 Monorail "Brickwalker"
Mapsize:	512x512 Arctic
Version used:	r27595 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	The plan said any curve length which lead to some very compact building. That may have been a factor with expansion, only leading to LLL_RRR in most places. However, the train count ended at a respectable 1800.

Some fun at the coal drop.

Public Server Game 315

Game Date:	03.06.16 - 29.06.16
Usual suspects:	Jam35, dwarf, lol, Maraxus, Arveen, StarLite, tyteen4a03, be8f07c4, Mazur, Sylf, shenghi (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	9 'RAINBOW SLUG'
Mapsize:	512x512 Tropic
Version used:	r27595 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	Long trains with short curve length is a fun game. We had a slightly unbalanced network with some areas not having much traffic after the game start builds. The plan was changed to help the situation but was not too much of an improvement. Interest was waning at the 900 train mark with tricky expansions.

TL9 Mergers get quite large.

Public Server Game 314

Game Date:	04.05.16 - 03.06.16
Usual suspects:	Mark, Dwarf, Jam35, lol, Sietse, BiG_MEECH, Absolutis, barnex, bubbleheads, Maraxus, NCommander, Tray, tyteen4a03, be8f07c4 (extend)
Gametype:	YETI cargo (tired yeti mode)
Trainlength:	3 "Get Heavy"
Mapsize:	512x512 Tropic
Version used:	r27534 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	The game was a test of the new YETI release. A new mode using tired Yeti that need to return to Yeti yards was used. Instead of doing things simply though, we chose to refit trains everywhere giving us a few groups of trains with many orders. With no trains running empty we achieved huge amounts of delivered cargo for the number of trains. End game train count was 2100 with no jams, most of the network was upgraded to 4 lines and 3 YETI yards were running near maximum production.

One of the Yeti yard stations and hub.

Public Server Game 313

Game Date:	20.04.16 - 04.05.16
Usual suspects:	Jam35, Clockworker, Ramsvs, lol, Absolutis, damalix, tyteen4a03, Mark, bubbleheads, DyeH, Sietse, Maraxus, NCommander, Ben_ (extend)
Gametype:	Cargo
Trainlength:	5
Mapsize:	512x1024 Arctic
Version used:	r27534 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	FIRS Arctic Basic industries was loaded on a large, mountainous and very watery map. Having no fixed plan resulted in an extensive LR network, about of half of which got expanded to LL_RR later on in the game. Primary industries were set not to increase production, and we kept the number of primaries connected balanced, which resulted in very even traffic flows. In the end of the game, almost 1100 trains fully serviced all industries; no cargo waiting at stations.

Yet another one of Mark's eyecandies.

Public Server Game 311

Game Date:	02.03.16 - 27.03.16
Usual suspects:	V453000, Sylf, Jam35, StarLite, lol, Clockworker, Ramsvs, Kalaidos, BiG_MEECH (extend)
Gametype:	Pax
Trainlength:	5 Wicked Warp
Mapsize:	512x256 Temperate
Version used:	r27510 #openttdcoop-GRF-Pack 8.0
Remarks:	This game produced some nice Sbahn networks in towns, most notable of which was the PURR/MEOW based SRNW by V453000. Train behaviour at his Doom York town is controlled by decisions based on current max speed when passing waypoints.
