I heard nick would love to but it ain't gona be easy.

well we are here to try and offer input if he made an actual thread requesting ideas etc. Rome wasn't built in a day and im sure we'd all offer some form of help.

No more updates, if anyupdates The game should be set back a few years!...

How about being able to send a message to several players at the same time? Cant see this being difficult to update?
============================================
EXAMPLE

Hi guys, we got a game to play etc, etc
============================================
Think it would save time having to message each one seperatly. or can be used to contact all team members about things going on in team etc, etc.

What you think guys?

Has been mentioned loads of times before, still think that it would be a very useful feature
I'm sure that it will be implemented soon

Yes that would be convenient

Think its about time an update was done to stop impossible shots from being taken. By which i mean side/top/bottom
Example: Cue ball is tight up against an opponants ball and you shot away from it to hit your ball and you can put bottom spin on? would be impossible in real life? as the only part of the ball you would be able to hit would be the top. It would be impossible to put bottom on as the cue was tight up against the ball you would have to cue over it.

same applies to the cushions. If you're touching cushion you shouldn't be able to put full backspin on. However i do find it fun, so i dont care if it's changed or not

from what i am told you can apply backspin on the cushions if its not touching, but im sure damien said once that nick said even if it appears to be touching a ball it really isn't as theres an invisible pixel between them thats why touching ball can't be applied on snooker could be same for cushions. also may require a 3D engine

All the deliberate foul shots people play would be impossible too, because the players would be disqualified. An update should deal with that, not the picky perfectionist thing you're moaning about. Your update wouldn't do much except make game play slightly more boring.

How about a pub style 'winner stays on' game format?
That way you could have 4 or 5 mates in a game room and have a good giggle, think it might be popular.
Another idea for a different game format would be settings for ranked games, tick boxes so you could have ranked games where only run-outs or 7 ballings count?

or how about setting your own permissions (private room only) where you can have...

Winner Stays On
Best of...
Win by an 'event' only (Golden Breaks and Runouts, unavailable in Straight)
Win by combination only (only available for 9 ball games)

Straight:

Win by 30+ Run Only (for those robots out there so game doesn't stop until someone makes 30).

NICE! i like that^

Not too sure how you plan to code in the ability to only win a game with GB/Run-out, does the game just end of the breaker doesn't successfully GB/R-O? If so, who does the game go to?

I'm not convinced by the straight one either, I took mattywellie's stats yesterday (before he had a cracking day today) and say each game takes 10 minutes to play it works out he gets a 30+(inc all 60's too) around about every 82 minutes I think it was.

And if one of the best on here at straight has an average time like that imagine how long it would take 2 players of a lesser standard.

thats why i said PRIVATE room then its their fault if they choose to play it lol, normal game rooms would be same as now.

just something to play with your friends really rather than in public

The game recognises and records in events so having a setting to play a different type of ranked where rank is only lost and gained by events is definitely do-able.

they should make double elimination tournaments, would be fun instead of the normal elimination then your out, and alot of tournaments in the real world do this too. what ya think guys?

in real pool you can apply back spin on a ball if you raise the cue up to about a 87 88 or 89 degrees angle your able to do so, although much harder in real pool but it is achievable, plus it comes off as masse but still is doable

hmm how about a pm room to where you and a few friends can talk in, don't know if that was mentioned yet
