ORWM may not be the most pronouncable abbreviation, but what it actually stands for, I think, is by (a bit) the best.

and when can we get our hands on this one?

I voted for the bottom one on the poll cause it shouldn't just be europe you do. There are some great metro systems outside of europe that should be considered
We are planning to do the Paris Metro. Everything on this map will be incorporated http://smc04.ircam.fr/picts/metro.gif so yes, that does include the RER. The paris metro is somewhat more..intensive than the London Underground so we will need time to do it, so..in our currently line up it may be released from September onwards. Which means then, London Underground Version 2 is after that.

Yeah, its not very pronouncable, but as Tycoonjamie stated there are metro's outside of Europe that should be considered, so..its technically better even though i prefer Remo or Rome personally.

I like that one.

Then, we can say that if OTTD devs don't make true undergrounds we can OUST THEM!

:p

lol, its very good. We didnt think of that at the time..lets add it to the poll shall we. Though where did the S come from..looks like you replaced Replication with Sesplication.

Heh, interesting. Again it reflects the whole thing, but it is difficult to pronounce.

If youre going to do more of these whay dont you join the devs and create the proper undergound stuff you would need to make it work in an actuall game

Because none of us know how to program the game :wink:

and because, as of yet you can't get the proper stuff to make it work anyway. We can make graphics and code them..that doesnt need us to join the devs though.

do you guys have jobs :?:

I dont have a job, though im hoping to do a uni course in september.

It does seem to me like im the only one working! Having to sit and do all the graphics, whilst the others play, but then they are researching and doing the lines.

I also do not have a job, nor does James. Still school students at the moment :D

Anyway yes, it does seem like Sacro would be the only one working as he has to draw the graphics sadly, he isnt in all our convos! we had to build the map, expand the towns, lay the track, then build and order the trains which is not easy, then trying to constantly make it better :wink:
So, we are doing stuff. Just aint noticable yet!
