How do you guys all get your team's dosh where it needs to be? I personally just give whoever needs money some of my own, but I have heard of other methods. Heres a list I've heard of:
Pure Capitalism: This is the pub server method of 0 dosh giving
Banking: Stuff your medic full of all extra dosh, and he gives it to the needy
Free giving: My own method of unorganized charity
Money baths: All extra dosh is thrown into the air in order to redistribute the wealth
What is the most efficient/best form of dosh management?

I myself mantain a staunch supporter of free giving, but I may be wrong.

I am willing to share all my cash, like you.

BUT - I give out money only if asked for, not randomly. Too often I gave money away and the sucker disconnected few seconds later.

I will support generously:

- Mates who died and lost their weapons
- Mates who join the server and ask for money
- Mates with few kills

I won't support (or better say waste my money for):

- Jackasses who want to run around with a LAW or some other expensive weapon in wave 3
- Jackasses who constantly fail at ramboing and die over and over again
- Jackasses who constantly spam for money but fail to sell the bullpup/hc/whatever that lies on their way to the trader
- Jackasses who don't get it that LVL2 is NOT efficient enough on suicidal

If money is tight, only give to those who ask (or just died/joined on last wave).

If I have 750 or more spare bills after buying everything I need, I will give to those who have the least kills on the server. Really wish the scoreboard showed money or something other then kills though.

It depends on who I'm playing with.
I usually play as Berserker, so I expect to have a whack of extra dosh that I don't usually need.

People I give dosh to (+)
+Friends
+Teamplayers
+New players
+Someone who's died (if not a jackass)

People I don't give dosh to (-)
-Rambos (yes, I know I rambo, but I don't need dosh :D)
-People who see me running a long distance to kill a clot, and when I'm almost about to kill it, the other person Xbow's it
-General douchebags

Bribe: Throw all the money on specimens hoping theyd leave you alone.

I'll usually give my money away to anyone who needs it, but only if they ask for it. Im often berserker or medic so I'll have tons of extra cash too.

I dont give money to level zeros on hard/suicidal servers tho because its guaranteed they die in every wave and most likely leave right after..

Payment: Play as field medic and make people pay you to ensure they stay healthy for the next wave!

I don't give dosh to low level demos when I play zerker/sharpie.
And they're always asking. On wave 2. After dying on wave 1.

People who don't receive money:

-Those who use crossbows on single, small mobs

-Demolitions in early waves, who would rather use a bullpup/m79 than switch to another class until money is in abundance

-Those with a ping in the 200+ range (they always die, leave, or don't help other teammates since they don't speak English - if they prove themselves to be from Australia or Europe, not a problem)

-Support Specialists, before wave 6/10, who already have a pump action

-M14 users (you can tell who uses the m14 in a pub server. Give them a lever action and see if they can hit the head OR fire 5 bullets in 4 seconds)

So basically, people who want their last tier immediately and find that more important than your armor, and wasteful/greedy ones.

People who DO receive dosh and <3:

-Anyone who will keep me or teammates alive, if properly equipped.

-Anyone who isn't a douchebag.

-...I'm finding it hard to come up with more.

I don't give money to the following :

-firebug ( you spawn with a full loadout even without level 6 your ammo is cheap)
-sharpshooter (you are op)
-berzerker (you only need a katana I fail to see why you would need money.. in most cases all zerkers have armor)

I also don't give money to:
-people that die 2+ times in a row for being rambo
-battle medics that don't heal.. I get you're try to get kills, but then if you're not going to heal your team mates.. why are you a medic? Selfish much?
-demo man who spams pipe bombs un-strategically. i.e. in a pile
-demo man who I notice spams 3+ shots on a group of zeds... ONLY NOOBS DO THIS.. Good demo man's take one shot.. wait 3-5 seconds for sign of life.. before spamming his second shot.. the only exception would be to take out FP+scrakes that didn't die from sharpshooters..
-I also don't give money to support specialists that use nades.. NO ONE DOES THIS.. it is proven ineffective and a waste of money in suicidal..
-I don't give money to support specialists that I notice spam aa12 shots on a stupid clot.. you don't need 4 shells to kill a clot..

If you are any of the above the only reason I would give you money is you are level 3 or below.. if you are level 6 and still do the above.. you hacked/cheat farm your level and don't know the game.. IT IS THAT SIMPLE..

If you are none of the above I will have no problem giving you tons of monii :D!!

I hate it as medic when people ask me for money.





Right after they watched me give it all to someone who asked first.


And with others,

-smelly arseholes that traderblock, people going in or out. Almost always unskilled, if not, still not worthy of monetary gifts.

-killstealers.

-i'm usually up for giving demotards money if no one else wants it, after i help myself first :D Demotards can be useful as decoys for scrakes/FPs; they also tend to thing the herd out a little.

-If i see a L3-4 on Hard with just a shotgun/AK about wave 3-5 i'll give them some dosh to buy a Tier 3 weapon to improve their chances of survival. This one's a tactical decision. Less skilled players with good guns are better than those without.

I remember my first online game of Killing Floor...:rolleyes:
The first time I got to the trader (after trying to figure out the trader path thing), there was a guy blocking the door saying "pay me 200 or you can't pass". I thought douchebags like that would be on all the servers.

I first off CHECK TO SEE IF I NEED AMMO/ARMOR.
Then I check to see how much I have.

If it's:
200-400: I usually give up to 100 to late joiners or people who died last round.
600-800: I usually give up to 200 to late joiners, people who died last round, or anyone that asks.
900+: I'll give it out in 200 clumps to anyone that asks.

I wont give it out to douchebags. Never will I lend a tenner(I hope I'm not cocking that up lol) to a douchebag.
