Captain's agreement could work as long as they posted an agreed day and time in advance.

Otherwise as Captain I will want to play when I have my three best players online and you dont have yours online!!

who said i was being negative? i am offering my opinion which was asked for. i wont try a clan v clan killer match as it will not be any different to any other killer match.

i like killer and the idea isnt a bad one, but just would have thought it made sense to trial something on its own before enforcing it inside the league.


of course it is differant from any other killer game ,, have you played it, its team on team, not individual against individual


and trialing it thats what we are doing, FBL season is not over pixie

i agree it will be excellent and i know im biassed cause i love a game of killer, love the tactical side and idea of setting your partner up for the snooker etc

............ however, i feel the logistics of getting 6 people online and prepared to play the game will prove way too much and just see too many defaults.

Stick with 2x2 and if there are very few defaults, then by all means increase the players....... this said, i would still suggest to incorporate this just in the cup or in a sub tournament for the first season until the idea fully catches on, then there's not the risk in having to change things mid season.

Think we're trying to fly before we can hop skip and jump.

I love the idea of the killer game as a league thing in the FBL, the only actual problem i see is that players may not be able to get on at the desired time.

killer is killer, doesnt matter who i am playing with or against, we used to run an interclan daily killer session in which at times we'd team up and gang up on players for fun so i have tried it as we had a killer league table with points at stake, the game is still the same to me.

that is not the point anyway...

i just dont see how an optional game can be used to obtain points towards overall league score. if my team was to lose our division down to killer i would be raging to be honest.

i've played this game as team game before and i love the idea, im all for it, and i think people will have positive thoughts to it, but i am still saying the logistics to getting 6 players on at the same time mid season will proveto be next to impossible, not to mention towards the end of the season when interest tails off.

Let's triall it in the cup with a look to incorporate it into season after next if its successful

for the record......imo........even if it wasn't a logistical problem, i would prefer 2 x 2 and just keep it 20 second like the rest of the league.

I think jumping straight in to a 3x3 would be a bit risky, the 2x2 seems like the better way to do things. I think a 10 - 15 shot clock would also be useful.

tactical shots take time in alot of situations, 10 sec time limit would make it more like a regular game of killer in the sense that most people would be too focussed on there pot only

So that everyone is straight on this.
Killer will be included in the fixtures for next season, and any player, as long as they are eligible on the teamlist, can play, even if they are already in the fixture in a different game type
The points system will work differently to the other game types.
Failure to play the killer game in a fixture, will not result in the game going to default, and no points will be lost for not playing it, points will be gained though for getting it played.
With numerous trial games being played before the season starts, the most suitable game format ie, number of players , time etc will be chosen.


That makes it optional.

You ask for opinions, yet you dont value mine as it differs from yours and because let's face it, you don't like anything I say I can only see arguments ensuing from having this inside normal league format. That is all

clan games have always been 20 sec and i cant think of a time when it hasnt been.

def 2x2 though, it makes it more personal and makes your shot have more input to the games result.

Still, even though me you and a few others are all for this being in the league, i don't think the majority would be dedicated to this.

Also i hate the idea of this being an optional game, it should be mandatory or not at all, but then this would create so much hastle ont the default panel.

(hope it works but im gonna remain cynical here)

2 v 2 is easy, if its mandatory then some clans may leave FBL, i would do it separate to the league first (maybe set a time each week e.g. 9 pm Sunday's) and have a leaderboard of some sort, then if its successful then you can put it in main league.

you could even do a killer cup if you wanted separate to main league
