Yeah, sheesh, what are you whining for? We're having a discussion and if you can't handle a little critique here and there, maybe you SHOULDN'T come up with ideas. I'm just letting you know what could and probably will happen if you choose to do this. I'm not saying it's good or it's bad...I could care less cuz I hate wars altogether, however, I've seen this sort of thing many times in the past and it's always ended the same.

Again, if you want to have a sniping unit, have a ball, but let anyone who wants to be a part of it, do so and not make silly requirements and alienate those who want to at least give it a shot.

As i said Rick i was trying to help, pull out the idea. Obviously King Rick should have the say on everything, i know all my ideas are shit, but you don't have to tell me..

I seriously give up with you.

Is this martyrdom at its finest or what?

Not once did I say it was a shit idea, I don't know where you're getting this from. I'm merely pointing out the things that nobody has thought about because they're too busy focusing on what's in the box instead of outside it.

Relax mate tongue.gif, no need to go harsh on her, she did suggest this because she believes it helps the clan warring (And I do agree with her on that, nice idea Jess! wub.gif ).

I disagree with you rick on the removal of these requirements I'm afraid. (Though I feel requirements should be lowered to about 118 to suite our current average)
The reasons for this is:
1) In case we ever lack 120's in the clan, people with lower combat levels could join
2) To make the numbers of the sniping unit reasonable, the reason for this is that if there are no requirements, all members that like warring (or almost all) will join the sniping unit.
3) To make the snipers do the job efficiently, I for example (111 F2P Combat) am not very good with sniping, not because I don't know how to, I'm pretty experienced at it, but the problem is I don't hit high and/or often because my stats aren't good for sniping.
4) To make sure they can tank quite good. The worst thing in low level sniping is that there is a chance they could get KO'd (Killed in mere seconds), some low levels are good tankers but they still can't hit well.

Just give it a try rick, if it does cause harm then I'm sure everyone who agrees with you will rant about it, it will hopefully work.

Something can be done about that, we could ask for a 'Don't brag too much about your role or you may be removed" rul

The bolded is because I'm sure some people (especially glenn luls) may brag just for the 'luls'. Shouldn't be taken too seriously tongue.gif
If people are going to rant about how they can't join because of their lower level, then well..Think about it, this role is MADE to be not available for everyone, so that it can work efficiently. Having everyone in the sniper unit would cause us to go mega-mass sniping all the time which really would weaken us (Warring wise)
Also remember, we have a clan requirement, which also mean that some lower levelled players who are interested in WG can't join. The same case can be applied here, if people REALLY want to be a sniper, then they would train no matter how long it would take them and attend as many wars as possible to gain the required levels and experience.
Ranting about not being able to join because of their lower levels is really pointless, because they should realize even our high levels WORKED for their levels, so they can work too.

Like I said, just give it a try. tongue.gif

I don't think we need a junior snipe unit or anything. However training should be hosted well before each war. T Dawg could get a pool of players interested in sniping each week to attend practice. That way he can select who can snipe during the war out of the available players. A seperate ts channel should be used too as that makes alot sense. I don't think we need a whole thing devoted to snipers though, but place heavy attention to getting people interested in sniping ready before the war smile.gif
