It is brilliant, and with the choice it would be even better!

But back to the amount of players situation, would there really be any harm in dropping it to 2 players? Seeing as it's only one down from what most people are agreeing to?

No one has given me feedback for why not to have 2 players

There are already plenty of 2 player games

How about when a public table is created, thats the only one you can join until its full. That would go quite a way to eliminating the waiting issue.

I think this is a very appropriate time to dust off my long standing request for the minimum time limit to be reduced to 5 seconds. Please?

Spinner. No.

5 Seconds is just too quick for old people like me.

A great idea to prevent two or more waiting games from competing with each other over joining players, but the obvious downside is that it would prevent friends from joining their respective friends' games tho.

I'm all for it anyways, the killer format is fun regardless of who you play.

The only downside to this is that mixed games with very good and very bad players makes it very much a lotto of playing order. Playing order is essential anyways, but the importance grows a lot larger when players aren't fairly even.

I see no real way of solving that tho - and in either case the draw is random so it all evens out in the long run.





I don't see why not - it's an OPTION, and like all options, the only applicable opinion is "Yes please!" and "I don't care". Being opposed is really not an option at all since no one has to use it.

This does bring up a conflict with your idea of having to join the single waiting game tho - since it would overrule people's ability to choose what shot timer game they'd like to join.

Major suggestion

How about a "beep-beep" when it comes around to your turn to play again?

Great Addition! I Luv it!




I agree.

Id say 3 minimum.

Played a few games last night and the only downfall (for me anyway) was the waiting for the next shot, hence me agreeing with less players.

Ohh its a Killer of a game Ha!

It seems a massive hit and I think giving the option of Five seconds and the option of lowering players needed to three will go a long long way to making sure that this does not die out, as the only reason people might decide against playing it as much as the one on one games is the waiting. Which is pretty clear for all to see.

One other thing is tournaments. A lot of people on this find tournaments the greatest aspect of the site. I think if it is possible to create tournaments on this game type maybe it should possibly work with four players playing each other every round, winner goes through to the next round, until you hit four for the final. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Obviously one step at a time and I'm not up to tune with all technicalities etc.. as many other users so I could sound a bit silly putting this idea forward.

Sporting i love the idea of killer tournys they would be a really good idea, I think we should have a smaller limit for players though like justsomegirl said 3 would be better.

But great addition I can't stop playing it although I havent won any yet

But I'll work on it

Unfortunately all the tournament code is built to cater for 2 players per game.

In a couple of hours I'll patch the server to lower the minimum number of players to 3, fix the watching logging out problem and introduce random break (and follows on to next player if players play again).

Does that mean the likelihood of doubles tournaments in the future is...well...not very likely?!

I don't understand mych of coding... but does that mean it would be difficult, if not improbable to do?

I think doubles would be a good addition if it is possible.

Glad you are lowering the limit nick thanks.

Really cool game cant stop playin it.

Soundes like a good idea it would help a lot.

Wooo, 3 player minimum!

OK these changes are done.

Yes, it would be a lot of work to reorganize all the tournaments to allow a different number of players (eg consider the tournament page would be very different).

Edit: The score chart could be on the background of the table, similar to the practice table logo. Can't think where else it could go!

Oh right so prety tricky to do then ...

Exactly! (Hoping it wouldnt be much of a change either..)

OK, but should it play the countdown noise (that only plays for the last 5 seconds?)

Personally, that would really annoy me if it was playing the countdown noise consistently..

I like Clooneman's idea for a bleep when it's your shot, is that at all possible ?

No, IMO.

When playing a 5 sec game it's not like you need a reminder that you are about to run out of time :D
