occ: Insane Panda and alex 994. Can you please change your starting cities. For Insane Panda it is because two major cities is too much of an advantage this early. Perhaps New York and Hartford to start off. Lets say fees would be to hgh for it to be profitable.

As for alex 994, Tallhassee is already the destination of the Gypsie RR and therefore I think that ye may need to move thanks.

A Few more players and we can begin.

The Engineers of Southwest RR have stated that Houston is too costly to connect to San Antonio, and therefore they suggest the great city of Austin.

 

[Tyrion]

You listed ones like airline tycoon and them park. What about the great Transport Tycoon. Still a great game in its own right. Oh and Locomotive is coming out soon.

 

[Jason The King]

I take it you're a tycoon fan .

 

[Thundercow]

Okay then, Southwest RR is now serving Austin and San Antonio.
I'll go back and edit the post now.

Sheep, can you decode the map for us? What do different city colors mean, what do the different shapes mean, etc.

 

[Sheep]

The cities at the moment are all about the same. However the if it is a square it is a larger city then a circle. If its a diffrent colour it is a government seat and therefore you may get extra work for the state government and such.

Update will come Wednesday night, however I will update stats and such tonight. This will give you two turns to begin the first turns work. Remember to open a new line it will be costly and the Engineers will make it as sturdy as can be. You can order to make it more cost effective but beware the danger of crashes to your company's reputation.

There is a lot to be made of for this game and we have only begun to scratch the surface.

 

[JosefStalinator]

can i do something in chicago? or is it taken

 

[Tyrion]

Of course im a tycoon fan. Though i only own Transport and Theme Park

 

[Sheep]

occ: alex you need to choose another starting place as it is way too close to a competing railroad.

 

[Sheep]

I need Josef and alex to contact me about their RRs if they are intrested. After this is done we shall begin. For those who wish you may begin to Diplome ask for prices for a new track length and begin their orders

 

[Sheep]

add Insane Panda into that mix as he still hasnt Pmed me about an alternative destination to Philadeplphia as well

Daily Rail News

Gypsie Rail, a division of the global corporation Gypsie Enterprises has applied to the mayor of Jacksonville for permission to extend thei Tallahassee - Miami railroad to Jacksonville and build a station there, the planned route is to link all three cities with just one railroad and a junction at the centre. They have also begun a promotion, for the next month, all prices for Gypsie Rail are 1/2 the usual fare, this is in an attempt to attract customers to pay for the propsed extension. This should reduce there yearly income to only 23/24 of what it was and bring in new passengers so that a profit is expected to be made even during the 1/2 price month.

Orders in Briefs

- Apply to the mayor of Jacksonville to build a station
- Ask the engineers how much this rail will cost (as on the map below, this will mean that rail will nto need to be built separately to Jacksonville from Talahassee and Tampa.
- Do the promotion described, we expect this to make us a profit anyway by bringing in mroe customers during the month and keeping them through the year.

From the Engineer's Guild

The line to Jacksonville would cost three thousand dollars, However the Mayor of Jacksonville is charging a futher two thousand for station facilities within the city. May I suggest we keep this on the back burner for this turn.

To Capital Rail
From the Engineer's Guild

The line to Philadlphia would cost two thouand dollars however the Mayor of Philadlphia is adamant he will accept no less than Five thousand dollars for land and a futher two thousand dollars for the station facilities.

To Old Hickory RR
From Engineer's Guild

Memphis and Lousiville will costr four thousand dollars a piece each. The statsions will cost two thousand dollars each as well. May I recommend you try and source out a loan?
