Just beeen thinking some more, and its getting me really worked up that people feel that they have the <right> to come on a dictate how people play. If I thought you were giving critical advice, fine. But these players. They berate every little thing you do. Really gets to me.
And another thing.
See these people who say 'gg' before the last ball has been potted? Wtf is the point? It puts people off and its lame. If you cant beat someone normally, get bettter. Dont go using crap gamesmanship to try and win. I had someone say 'gg' when i had 5 balls on the talbe... SERIOUSLY!? WTF?
People should learn to get a damn life.

P.S. I have some pent up rage atm, just venting.

What really grinds my gears is when people leave when I'm on for a run out
Either way they get a loss, why not stay and let me have my moment!

Just kidding! The only thing that bugs me on here is losing, this game is all that matters to me, and winning or losing is almost a matter of life or death at the best (worst) of times. If only I had a decent monitor/system I'd have nothing to worry about
Get a job then ya bum..

UK marathon last night. 2-0 up, had easy shot to middle on last yellow and had to work the white to get on the black but hey...
What happened?
"gg mate, gl in rest of tounry, hope you win it..."
I lost 3-2 cause of how damn freeking annoyed I was. From now on, going to put everyone on ignore when I play them in comps. Sorry if that offends you but I have alot of stress atm from exams and this is just taking the damn biscuit when i wanna relax and have fun.
Regards all, and sorry for ignoring you all from now on.

Maybe he presumed that you wouldn't miss the easy yellow,
It doesn't sound like he did it in a malicious way..
Fair enough people saying "gg" when there is 3 balls left on the table that's inappropriate..
But that sounded more of a kind remark..

Said like I posted I suppose it does... Taking into consideration him saying gg before i potted each of my other blacks, then I don't really care much if it was malicious or not, the way the balls were sitting, I would bet on most folk missing the position on the black... I still not sure how i would manage it...
It doesn't matter if its suppsoed to be hind or not tbh tho, it annoys me, and this is for venting so i venting... ;)

Why do people beg you to play then run as soon as they win 1 game, after you have lost 3.9 points due to them fluking the black ball, it wouldnt have bothered me if they hadnt asked me about 8 times to play.

I'm not so sure, keoghz. It wasn't a straightforward case of pot followed by pot; there was a bit of effort needed to win the game, and "gg mate, gl in rest of tourney, hope you win it..." was obviously (because of its length) typed well before that shot itself became apparent. You can never really be 100% certain whether a player coming out with that is being malicious, but it was obvious the game was not decided, and in the back of all our minds, we know that this sort of thing is always unwelcome. In this instance, if I was asked to decide for or against the player, I'd find against him.

Fair enough; it's unfortunate that it's had to come to that... Two things though:
1) It might be a good idea to put that on your profile, complete with explanation, so that people can see where you're coming from and not think you're just being rude by not replying to their questions, comments, etc
2) Don't forget to take them off ignore afterwards!

Well, basically you can still say gg with having just having 1 ball left but it's not respectful or a good thing to do when they're shooting. I mean i'm not saying i do it but its just bad sportsmanship if you say gg with 1 ball left and good sportsmanship saying gg after the 8 is sunk

See these people who say 'gg' before the last ball has been potted? Wtf is the point? It puts people off and its lame. If you cant beat someone normally, get bettter. Dont go using crap gamesmanship to try and win.
I must disagree here, I say 'gg' if the odds are in their favour, example, if the black is covering a pocket and they are on the black I say 'gg'. Where's the problem? I'll say it only if I feel the game was truly enjoyable and don't use it to try and distract anyone from winning.
I had someone say 'gg' when i had 5 balls on the talbe... SERIOUSLY!? WTF?
I agree that would annoy me and is purely to distract people from the game. But you should put into consideration the fact you're reading messages instead of taking your shot. Nobody can be blamed for that.
P.S It's a 'table' not a 'talbe'.

What annoys me is when you get the occasional player that says your a hit and hoper.
How does the player know that the shot you hit was an intend shot not a hit and hope, that bugs me xD.
With this 'gg' thing, it really doesn't bother me if they say it when there is like a easy black ball to pot, even i will say good game just after he has had the shot (if it is on the black ball), but with 3 balls left on the table, wow!

The 'gg' issue just happened to me in the 9ball tournament.
Player A missed the 6, leaving 4 balls left on the table, 9 on the cushion and the 7&8 bunched together.
Player A then says gg v wp gl.
Fortunately for me I was able to pot the 6 7 and 8, keep the 9 safe on the cushion and came away with the win.
Still annoying though.
