Here are the estimates of the rate of fire per minute of each sniper. Gathered by shooting things non-stop. No movement, No veterancy, tested three times each.

British: 9-10 shots per minute.
German: 8 shots per minute.
Soviet: 7 shots per minute.

Many brave Osttruppen gave their lives for these tests, I hope you appreciate it.

Hmm, no, I do not know of any such clans. Anyway!

Welcome! c:

i initially applied as coder. was put on staff as referee. did my job as referee. admittedly not a lot of work, but never got thanked either.

Seb is the guy to contact for that. No idea who you talked with before, but I know we are looking for coders. The problem is that we are very careful about it. Trust is an issue, I am afraid. Seb prefers people whom he, or the other coders, already know or people already on staff.

as for coding, i had several ideas and had at least half implemented quite a fee of them. for example in aplha/beta i wrote a program to automatically extract unit stats and put them in a sql db. it wasnt finished, but it could have automated thr process of extracting unit stats. you could have had a patch comparison. your stats would always be up to date. and we could have had it on coh2.org pretty much on release (or at least not long after). i also had an idea for an android app. or if you go back and look at the website feedback threads, i posted a few bugs and/or bugfixes. but i never got to be a coder. never got access to the coder tools.

I am very sorry to hear that, cr4wler.

Should you still wish to be a coder, you may PM Seb about it. If nothing else, you should get to know why you weren't selected the first time around.

If you wanted to grow the website, reinvest some of the money, give Jackas4life a bloody social media budget, get social media buttons on the website, make the site better for mobile users, make a bloody app, idk what countless people suggested to improve the website.

Why isn't this happening?

Because someone has to put the work in to get them done. Brainstorming is great, but inferior to getting things done. Do you know how much coding your ideas would take? How much money, and where it should be spent and why?

An idea is the first step, planning the second, and rolling up your sleeves is the third step to doing things. What did you do? You quit. At the first step, it seems. You didn't plan.

You didn't ask yourself questions. How do I get the coders involved? Do they even have the time? Do I need to recruit new people, or learn coding myself, or both, or something else? And what about the budget? How can I scrape together one? Or can we make do other ways? And so forth! You could have posted the ideas in the green staff forums to hear people's thoughts as well. But.

You didn't. From what I have heard, you private messaged Ami about it. But here is where my memory fails me, as I do not remember or haven't heard what happened so. Either way, I do know that Ami is not a boss. You didn't need his approval to get started.

He has a very hands off approach to the staff, expecting them to find things to do themselves.

Leaving the rest of staff on their own for 3/4 of the time

We are a group of volunteers. It is up to us to find out what we would like to do and do it. We cannot rely on others to find it for us. Or to do it for us. We must get to it ourselves.

How do you expect to succeed when you're working with passionate people who want nothing more but this game to succeed and your website to grow when your attitude towards change or improvement is so stubborn?

Personally, I do not care for Ami's attitude. He has his reasons for being that way, just as you have yours for being such as you are. Like us, Ami is a human being, with strengths and weaknesses. He is but one part of the team here at COH2.ORG. Of course, being one of the site owners, he has a bigger say than most. Even so, he favours giving his opinions, rather than orders. The latter of which I have not even seen happen once during my stay. That is Ami for you.

He is hands off, remember?

You may see it differently, Kluge. There is nothing wrong with that, and I respect your opinion. It is also possible that I may have misjudged Ami, but I am sure he will speak up if that is the case. He usually does, from my experience.

So, that guys helped you to increase the prizepool. People paid with donations to see their work. And how much did you paid them? You had 5000$, how much?

You know, the people that stick around on the staff are usually not after money. Those who are quickly figure out that there is none to be found and leave. Money sounds nice, but it isn't the reason why we are here, or at least, it isn't the reason why I am here. I cannot speak for the rest of the staff.

Also, money is a touchy subject. There was a thread made during the time of OCF that was about the money. I remember a point made during it; ESL tournaments take half of any prize money. I believe that was also the cause for COH2.ORG, so I do not think that is unfair. As for how the money was distributed: I do not know.

I dunno, it's kind of a quick and dirty thing. I'm okay with it if someone wants to post it up or whatever but I think the concept could be done in a lot more detail.

Then the next question is: would you like to add that detail? To work it into a proper guide?

I remember that you were a Senior Strategist Specialist for the DoW2 section of Gamereplays, years ago now. About the same time I was a writer for the that section. Of course, this is assuming you are the same Dullahan as the one from GR.
