Just wanted to point out a problem.
I was playing a game of straight pool and beat a player so he decided to leave... the notice came out that I can keep on playing till a miss a shot once I made the shot and potted the ball I got a default win without continueing my run.

Agreed a couple of people have left on me, and while it says you can continue with the break, you get a default win after one more pot.
The game is great though Nick, nice one , a tournament of this would be much easier to implement than killer too, so that would be great somewhere down the line.
Yeah mate, pointed out earlier, I'm guessing if you get to 40 odd on this game the opponent may get fed up and leave, which wouldn't be good.

Another problem nick, when a person leaves, it should let you continue the break.

Yep, being able to continue if an opponent leaves is important in this format, since what most people will measure this game by is the largest break

I didn't have time to patch the server to allow the play on functionality - tomorrow if I hope.
I've no plans to allow a ball on break or two balls without nomination as it will make the game even easier, benefiting lucky shots. Does anyone really want that?

I dont agree with the break shot potting
but i think you should be able to pot 2 but it only counting as one. Cause sometimes you just nock two in and then its end of run.

Sounds great to me.
I personally don't see why you can't pot off of the break, I think you should be able to, else what's the point in breaking :S It's a skill to pot off the break.

I completely agree Nick, the current break and 2+ pot rules are great and make the game challenging.

Great addition to the game Nick.
But i think the modification that Gerrard has requested needs to be done.
When you are potting balls and trying to open others you do knock 2 balls in and it ends the run. Surely it should count as one and continue.

It's a controlled potting game - accidentally pocketing (as described by gerrard) should be break end in any scenario, and same for breaking unless you know which ball will go into which pocket.
To put this another way, changing the game in such a way would significantly change the essence of the rules. Should you be allowed to accidentally pot opponents ball in 8 ball?

I have a new suggestion
You know the shot success counter. I believe that should only start when the first ball has been potted as if you want to play safeties at the start of the break this will be effected.
What are your views?

I can't help but point out that you can already see how god a run you can get in a game where you can pot off break and pot multiple balles without stopping.
Its called "practice"

I would prefer nominating the ball and pocket and allowing 2 balls to go in as long as you make your nominated pot. This would then stop any other arguments and it would be true potting skill.

Agreed horse, but clearly takes a bit more to implement.

Also it's not in the official rules and slows down the game (because of nomination step).

What about when people leave the game can't we carry on or is this a bug ?

I know I'm moaning but is it just me or is the succession shots coming up on screen very often, every other text is <user> got ?? successive shots..
I'll put it down to the hype of a new game, If the limit is 15 i think before your are announced, why not make it 30 Which is a hard number to reach or 25 i just think 15 is too low as alot of user's can achieve this..
Feedback anyone? (Be nice)

What an awful Idea!!!!!
Only joking, yeah i agree with that 25 would be perfect i think 30 is a bit steep.
