Nice! ;D :)
This is going to be a fun round :D
how do we join the game and pay the 15 credits once you have 30 people? Also, nice job getting this organized, sky and thanks to sami and the dev team for allowing this.
Ahhh! This is going to be so much fun! I'm kind of sad that it's not the entire world yet at the same time feel it would get boring. Does the bankrupcy rule, once mean that you can only go bankrupt once?
thats correct
YES!!!! 8) Im first on the list!! YEAH!!!!! ;D
You most certainly are ;)
Can I still join?
You may :)
Sky, how do we join the game once its made?
Also, how will we know when the game is starting?
North America and Europe.. awesome.. well.. something a little different would have been ok but hey.. Im not complainin'
;D
Why only two continents?
^^
It is because 30 players across the whole world would be about the most boring game in history.

I won't join if it's only Europe and North America. Pls remove me THX. i'd rather play a public world in this case.
Can I join? :)
I will join. Do we know if any of the current updates being worked on will be implemented? Just curious.
May I make a game start suggestion? Don't hate on me; I'm just throwing it out there.
With so few players playing, wouldn't it be nice if we did not have initial game "fights"?
I am thinking we could initially all make a list of at least our top 10 home base airports. If you're the only one who has your #1 pick, you get that airport. If several people have the same top pick, we can talk it out (maybe some will not mind going to 2nd, 3rd, or 4th pick). If 2 or more people want the same home base, maybe "deals" can be worked out, something like: "I would like exclusive rights to x-y route and x-z route. You can have exclusive rights to x-a and x-b routes."
That way we could maybe avoid initial game conflicts, scrambling, and fierce competition.
What do you think? 8)
I second that motion!
I think we should avoid hubbing at the same airports but I would not want any other deals limiting competition.
I agree with JJP. However, maybe it would be ok to have two airlines at the largest airports like Atlanta, Heathrow or Chicago? I don't know, I guess it doesn't matter too much.

Yes, I agree with you. I think, it would be ok to have two airlines at the largest-of the-largest airports, but no more - we have enough large airports that 30 players can join :)

2 at the largest airports should be perfectly fine.
I claim General Mitchell Airport (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
My first choice is Madrid.
7 more! lets do this thing.
I`d like to choose Frankfurt EDDF as my first home base :)
If there are anybody, who wants to start in FRA too - let me know please :)
My choice is LAX as my home base. If anyone else wants to hub there too let me know as well. :D
EDIT: I'll add my next top 4 choices:
2nd: Chicago ORD
3rd: Dallas DFW
4th: Amsterdam
5th: London LHR
I don't think we really need to call airports with only 30 players
If we're doing this: IAD is the one for me!
@ Masoniclight: this game will only have 30-50 players in it. Why not chose a bigger base?
There should be no "Calling" of airports.
Everyone should be on their own like in each game. The only other fair way is to have a lottery of sorts.

Are you opposed to everyone "calling" their initial hub even if there are no restrictions on routes and focus cities later on in the game? There are only 30 players so finding a private hub for everyone should not be a problem. I can only speak for myself but I am willing to go to almost any major airport as soon as I can begin the game alone. What would be unfair is if I had to compete with someone from the very beginning while almost everyone else was able to start without any competition. If this is a matter of principle for you (i.e. "I'm not playing unless there is a hub lottery"), please suggest how this would be done in practice.
lets start the game already!!! ;)
I will try it out. Add me.

@ Masoniclight: this game will only have 30-50 players in it. Why not chose a bigger base?
1) to prove that you dont have have a larger base
2) its my "home" airport if you will.. Im from Wisconsin.. gotta give some love to my state :-)
3) just to have fun. I have used Milwaukee and Madison in two of the other games while I was trying to figure out the game itself.. I now know basically what I did wrong and correct and will be able to apply it now..
On Wisconsin!! ;D
WIND Airlines- (Wisconsin International, National and Domestic) Airlines- We Represent Freedom!
I don't see why it should be a problem to "claim" or request a hub. If 2 or more people want the same hub, we can have some kind of runoff lottery or something. Like Kontonio said, there will only be 30 or so players. Having a 1 major hub per player should not be a problem.
I would like to request one of the following hubs:
1ST Choice: Miama (MIA)
2ND Choice: Newark (EWR)
3RD Choice: Houston (IAH)
4TH Choice: Boston (BOS)
5TH Choice: Philadelphia (PHL)
6TH Choice: Dallas (DFW)
7TH Choice: Baltimore (BWI)
8TH Choice: Detroit (DTW)
I would be happy with any of these. :)
OK.. I guess I should put my top 10
1) you already know (Milwaukee)
2) Las Vegas
3) Minneapolis
4) Chicago (O'Hare or Midway.. no difference to me)
5) Des Moines
6) Spokane
7) Seattle/Tacoma
8) Denver
9) Kansas City
10) Albuquerque
Any idea when this game will start?
My top choices for hubs:
1. LAX - Los Angeles
2. LHR - London Heathrow
3. FRA - Fankfurt
4. ATL - Atlanta
5. ORD - Chicago O'Hare
6. JFK - New York
A lottery can be done simply.
First off, take the number of players. Let's just use 10 as an example.
Then you randomize the numbers. So, for instance, you have 9 4 1 3 8 10 2 6 7 5
Then, players give you a number between 1 and 10.
You then count the EMPTY slots on your previous list.
So, if someone gives you the number 5, that player's number would be eight. 9 4 1 3 8 10 2 6 7 5
The next person gives you 5 and his number would be 10. 9 4 1 3 10 2 6 7 5
If another person then gives you 5, that person's number would be 2. 9 4 1 3 2 6 7 5
The last thing that would happen is to pick the starting number. If it is the number 9, then the 9th person would get first choice
This essentially randomizes the game 3 times and would make this fair.
I would join but I only have 10 credits and i can't buy any more at the moment looks like a good game though
Good Luck

I guess I don't totally understand, but if you think it makes the game setup more fair and everyone is happy with it, then I don't have a problem with it.
I totally don't understand how the lottery works but I guess if everyone else agrees and will stick to it then I also don't have a problem with it.
Wow, out of the hundreds of people playing this game, we can't get 6 more who want to play this scenario? :-\
I would join the game. May I, please? ;D
of course you can, I think :) 5 more...
Maybe it is possible to start with 25 players?
I have messaged Skylink with a buddy who wants in. My buddy also messaged him.
No response and not on the list.
I have sent 3 pms now... they are not appearing in my outbox. I am typing in the "code" letters correctly. What's up?
He has a habit of responding late on his PM's. (I'm sorry Skylink, but you do ;)) So don't give up just yet!

Only one player needed, come here! :)
(sorry, I messed the membergroups a bit .. if you were due to join this game, you may have been getting some errors during the last 30 mins.)
Wow, that was a fast fix , Thank you Sami, everything seems to minty perfect.
How exactly will we join the game once you make it Sami?
You will see the game on the game list when it's created (I will then let you know).
I bought the credits. Let's go!

You said earlier in this thread that you can't join. It's a private game so it's probably not even visible to everyone.
Wow, great news!
joined to FRA
The startup cash problem has been fixed.
I'd like to be in please!
Thanks SKYLINK for your tireless efforts to get this off the ground. I know it must've been frustrating to keep having people join and then pull out. Grats :)
Thanks of course to sami for allowing this.
Hope everyone in the game has fun!
