Proof:
I am a guy who respects everybody by default. And when I get insulted and don't react right away, but this is three times he's called me a noob, even after I politely advised him to stop. I'm not morally 'damaged' by the actions of a toddler but he forced my hand so below are the pictures:

[a proper queue is needed for buying a house]

I searched for this kind of topic and didn't find anything. I hope I'm not repeating this idea, if so, please direct me to the available information.

If not, I'm strongly and most urgently suggesting that a proper queue is needed for buying a house.
This might work on the forum: you can sign on to the desired number of slots, stand in 'line', and after the people who signed before you got to buy one, you're up, and you have a day to buy it after it becomes available. If you don't like that particular house, you can skip it and the next in queue will get to buy it.

I find this extreemely needed. I myself have been waiting for a 2-3 slot for a few months now, and this house crisis is really annoying, but I am willing to wait. It's not fair that while I'm waiting, a house may become available and some other guy who has waited less than me buys it because he gets to it first from the moment it becomes available, or simply because I'm not online to 'race' for it. Btw, this 'race' is not fair either, because players are not the same distance from it when it happenes.

I hope you will consider this, it will prove to be quite useful.
I had a 3 slot house, before this house crisis began, which I lost due to inactivity for 3 months, or something like that. Now I can't seem to get a hold of even a 2 slot one, and they keep appearing and everybody gets them except me, even though I'm waiting months on end.

Thank you.

The best way to resolve this is to make house-buying back the way it was and to compare situations:


- OLD way:
Random guy raises money, dreams of 5 slot house.
5 slot house is sold, Random guy doesn't have enough money, let's it pass, house is bought by someone else.
Random guy raises all the money and waits for another 5 slot to become available.
When it does, sells old house races to the house and buys it, victory! (other random guys with all the money should have made it first to the house).


- NEW way:


Random guy raises money, dreams of 5 slot house, random guy has all the money.
5 slot is sold, Random guy cannot buy it for 24 hours (if I remember correctly).
24 hours gives time to a horde of random guys to raise the money by their particular means (borrow, sell stuff, etc.)
When house becomes available, random guy and the horde sell their house and race off to buy the new one.
In anticipation of this, some sell the house in advance, so when it becomes available, all they have to do is buy it.
Other random guys think the same. In anticipation, each one chooses to stick close to the house, to make it before the others, so naturally they start camping, not willing to allow anyone to get it before them.


So, the new way is bad because it allows anticipation of the moment the house becomes available, so more get the money, more get prepared for the moment, more know what they're up against and try to anticipate everything, so in the end, the house is bought by a lucky motherfucker, who probably had no clue about what was going on and just proceeded like in the OLD way.
In comparison, the old way doesn't allow anticipation, the moment the house becomes available, 'there's not time to evaluate the opposition and take measures, so the number of random guys who would have all the money at that moment will be far less, and IF there would even be more then 1, the fastest should get the house. Thus, no camping, no issues, no complaints about fairness.

[PLAYERS QUEUING FOR THE FERRY MUST ALLOW PASSENGERS TO EXIT BEFORE GETTING ON IT]

I'm suggesting adding a few rules about the ferry:


- stand behind the yellow lines at the queue (not with the nose on the edge)
- no moving whatsoever on the ferry while it's moving (except for the occasional break to counteract the natural forward movement of the trucks sitting on it)
- no cutting in front at the queue
- no exiting/pausing/using escape while on the ferry
- no blocking the roads while queuing (applies to LSIsland)
- no cutting in front of players while exiting the ferry (unless they are idle)


and - most importantly!!!!! -


PLAYERS QUEUING FOR THE FERRY MUST ALLOW PASSENGERS TO EXIT BEFORE GETTING ON IT (the bus rule)


And of course, as it is with any rule, appropriate punishments must be applied in case of breaking them. I for one am tired of anticipating mayhem whenever I know I have to take the ferry, or try to shove my way out of it when it reaches the land because a horde of noobs are storming the ferry from the second it stops, sometimes causing some players to miss the ride or even worse, fall between the ferry and the land, when it takes off.


I think we all need a little order, with these rules respected, a greater number of trucks can be handled with the ferry with no accidents and no one left behind.

How about a little chat lower down the forum's front page? Something similar to the in-game chat, it will certainly save a few threads from posts with a dialog character...it'll be cleaner.

I'm suggestion the command /seen <nick> , that would inform the user about when <nick> was last time online on the server or if he's online right now.

Hi


It's been a while since I played CVT and I missed it a great deal, and I'm still having a busy schedule but I might start playing a bit more often now. I've logged in-game today and felt real nostalgic about all the good times and fun I've had on the server and all that, and so I got to remember the various ways I used to have fun, among which there was my favorite activity: running from the cops in my Vortex


But I could only have been "Deliverator the Uncatcheble" for as long as the Vortex had Cruise Control (which made turning real quick) and gave the little machine some other special features, which all contributed to being "uncatcheble", and they all made up for the lack of speed that it has. All to the point where you removed the CC off the boats and my special little machine became (to quote an angry cop:) "some flying shit". And now I'm not so uncatcheble, so there's no fun in it..


So my special appeal is this: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE return the CC to the boats, there's no one that will use it to drive the boats on land, I haven't heard of or seen anyone ever try that, and even if they would, they could only go in straight line, so there's no use of it...so we wouldn't have boats on land or roads!! Or if it's possible, return CC to Vortex only, but if you have to return it to all boats, please know that I'm not the only one wishing to have CC on his Vortex again, and by this, I ask all the Vortex owners to back me up in this thread and ask Mick88 very nicely to take a few seconds of his time to edit some value in a file or something...turn a 0 into 1 or something like that...




A million thanks in advance and I'll owe you!
