Rant about these Roblox-styled 'tycoons' and why it's a BAD IDEA
Decimation:
I remember this one tycoon on Roblox which was actually pretty decent. It was a mixed with TDM. Basically you had your normal tycoon thing then you had a TDM area. Your tycoon would increase say the shooting speed, damage, accuracy etc of your gun.

It's funny how people say stuff like "we need more ____ servers!"
Not your call bro, host it yourself. If I wanna host a love RP, then by golly I'm gonna host just that. Same applies to a tycoon. You want a complicated tycoon with tons of variables, premodeled buildings, etc; you go ahead.
There are like 3 tycoons in development, and they aren't hurting anything. If anything, it's something new for blockland. You don't NEED to play on their server.

of course i'm not going to play on those servers, but for some reason when i see "tycoon" i get really excited for some reason(probably because roller coaster tycoon 2 is pretty much my favorite game).
although it makes me disappointed when it turns out to be the blue ball machine stuff or w/e
this was also to present the idea of possibly including the tycoons that i had in mind (the ones like openTTD, ect), which would probably be more beneficial than the roblox-styled tycoons.

If you want something like that, then make a request for THAT, don't talk stuff about something else just because you don't like it. Plenty of people don't like mini empires. Personally, I love them. At the same time, I don't like knife fights. You don't see me ranting about them., which would probably be more beneficial than the roblox-styled tycoons. More beneficial? You're kidding right? You mean to tell me ANY of the given servers hosted at any random moment have beneficial value? No. Your tycoon idea is just as stuffty OR good as any given tycoon. This is a very vague, generalized stereotyping. "All build-it-up tycoons are crap" is like saying "all mexicans mow lawns." I'm trying to be civil about this, but hopefully you can see why this is frustrating.

Seriously. If you want something else, request it, don't talk down on other servers when there are literally 3 of it's kind. That, and making a VCE powered tycoon-type game is no easy feat. They could use anywhere from two to thousands of variables, just to allow multiplayer, and then there's all the different functions of game play that has to be considered. It's understandable that you might not enjoy them, but honestly, at this point in time; nobody is going to host your rollercoaster tycoon server. That isn't even possible currently, not even with that new train mod. Vehicle physics are too jerky, and the ability to place track using a GUI and then traverse over it just isn't something that's made within a week without being sloppy.
But good luck with that anyways.
