I think that in new releases you should add some more full translations. For example I've almost finished translation to russian and I will send it to you. People, who are not good with english ask to reaupload the tool with the translation, so you don't receive the real numbers... and your tool needs advertising in national forums, as very little number of users visil global regularly..

the main suggestion is to make interface easier, because Parrot-assistant is full of numbers. the numbers are everywhere. You really need a time to understand it fullly. And it would be better to make openoffice and excel versions closer.. because when people see the openoffice document they are not going to download it, as they need to install the openoffice either..

we are discussing your tool at russian forum and here are results ;)
Most importantly, I hope that those who downloaded this are having some fun - thanks for the nice messages I've received.

It's pretty strange that you thank the people who downloaded your soft!))
It is we who should say 'thank you'!! =)


Thank you for your work, effort and time!!!

As someone said and in my opinion the presentation to be honest is really awfull(dont wanna hurt you with that) it makes it so complicate, you have to spend much time to try to get how it works and at the end you finish closing it.


Anyway good job

The coachParrot tool has been available for one week and was downloaded 845 times, a penetration rate of 1.75% - while this is good, I am afraid it also means that the tool hasn't reached its ultimate target audience of relatively new managers (yet). The most downloads went to these country-IPs:
USA 210 unique visitors 7,1% of users
España 148 unique visitors 2,6% of users
Deutschland 101 unique visitors 8,2% of users
Italia 60 unique visitors 1,3% of users
Rossiya 51 unique visitors 8,4% of users
Polska 35 unique visitors 1,1% of users
Portugal 30 unique visitors 1,6% of users
England 26 unique visitors 4,6% of users
Hellas 25 unique visitors 1,1% of users
Türkiye 21 unique visitors 1,7% of users
France 14 unique visitors 0,6% of users
Lietuva 12 unique visitors 0,6% of users
Norge 11 unique visitors 7,5% of users
Sverige 10 unique visitors 3,1% of users
Nederland 10 unique visitors 2,4% of users
România 8 unique visitors 2,0% of users
Again thanks to ebustelo and seelenjaeger who clearly made a difference for the Spanish and German language communities. I'm not going to run much of a marketing campaign beyond this thread (maybe this post is too much already), but I'd be curious for suggestions how to improve the ease of use in future versions - although there are limits to what is possible in a spreadsheet without macros. Most importantly, I hope that those who downloaded this are having some fun - thanks for the nice messages I've received.



210+148+101+60+51+35+30+26+25+21+14+12+11+10+10+8=772
845-772=73------- where are they?and where is unique visitors from Moldova? :-))) (just kidding:))

can you please check the sheet number 2-ChoachParrot, because when I select the defensive tactic 3:2 or 1:3:1 ,something goes wrong and all calculations appear as #######
or something is wrong just in my file?
thanks.

automatic lineups- I'll thinks about this. if users wouldn't have to do anything by themselves, this might not be very instructive...

I think the most succesful tools in Hattrick are those which are able to set your line-up automatically. And the most frequent question in the spanish help forum is about the existence of some of these HT tools in BuzzerBeater.
It will not be very instructive, of course, but:
- It will make easier to start playing BB, and less people would give up after the first two matches.
- It will open BB to people who just want to spend 5 min of their time on this game, so more users, less instructed, but more users, and that is good for BB.
- People who only use this automated tool would be as successful in BB as those users who only try to get better ratings than the opponent... So finally, if you want to win matches you will need to do something else in the higher divisions because the connection between ratings and match outcome is not as straighforward as in other online games.

Thank you very much Josef!
Now will take some time to use it and understand all of that stuff, but it's a big project.
I like the "open source philosophy", that I think it's behind it all, too, and I hope it will remain in the future, because surely this thing it's going to grow and improve.

It's a great job you've done. Thanks!
