Starting The Games Over Again?

What do you guys think?

I think we should. I don't think it was fair that the game was only "paused" for 4 hours. I was at school when the game was restarted and couldn't do much because I had assignments to finish in Computer App. class. I got home and the game was started.

My opinion is that the games should be stopped and have a date, let's say Friday, to restart the games with a 24 hour pause to be fair. This way, everyone will know when the game starts. NO FURTHER REFUND should be given.

I really don't think that is necessary. We've already had one re-start and while I appreciate some people (including myself) may not have been around when the game re-started, I don't think anyone is massively disadvantaged. I seriously doubt the time and type of the very first aircraft acquired in the first few game days will alter the outcome of the game.

I for one certainly dont wish to start this game for a third time.

Besides, Sami said that a duplicate of this game world will likely start later this week, so those who want to restart can using their 5 free credits with the 6 refunded if they quit this game. The option is there, with out inconveniencing everyone in this game all over again.

I was very annoyed, to say the least, when I returned home from work at 2100.  My airlines were doing extremely well in both previous games and I could not believe that the amount of time I had spent on the computer over the last few days had been wasted.  I was in the top 6 when I left in one game.

But, its not a disaster, despite the less than appealing aircraft I have compared with before.

After taking the last couple of hours to calm down (I was quite surprised how much a game could affect me) it made me realise that it doesn't matter and if you're good enough at the game, it'll be a minor hurdle for the first day or so.  I'd much prefer it this way, rather than other players having extra aircraft, which would make any competition too strong.

I've voted no :)

Can I have a link to this information? I would REALLY love a fresh start.

EDIT: Found it.

I agree, we should, I got off at midnight and everything was cool with my airline. And I get on at 2 the next day after school, and my airline is gone and its like 2 weeks into the new game...... I vote yes for a restart with a full 24 wait period.

You guys are seriously way overreacting. I started Game #3 a whole two game years later than everyone else, but I still managed to finish 5th airline overall in value. I could've pushed for a higher place, but I started getting bored halfway through. Starting a few game days later isn't going to kill you if you know what you're doing.

I thought the community Airwaysim was made up of better people than this, but it seems we have our own share of whiners.

^ I'm going to have to agree with you there completely.

This matter has been discussed already in depth at the other thread, and there will be NO MORE changes. Or no more topics on this issue, thank you!
