"I Just Play Here"

As I mentioned in my last post I've been pretty hooked on OpenTTD lately (that's also why I haven't been as active posting).

I decided to try a multiplayer game and looked in the listing for one that had active players and wasn't password protected. I picked one of them at random and joined.

There was one other player there and we've chatted a bit. Apparently it's just been them for a very long time, with others popping in and leaving immediately from time to time. It's been fun sharing a world with someone.

The server runs a world from the starting year 1950 to 2050, which takes 24 hours. Then it resets with a new world. I wasn't sure when or how often the reset took place so I asked the other player to get the answer.

I formulated my question as "How often do you reset the server?" to which the first answer was "I don't, it resets automatically. And it's not my server."

> "Whose server is it then?"

> "I don't know. I just play here."

I wonder whose server it is and why they don't play there themselves.
