i think there should be some sort of quick leave button, say you eneter a game and there is someone you dont want to play (i.e low ranked player) you wanna leave quick dont you.. would be easier then clicking chat rooms and going into a room, you could say stop being lazy and do it, but its the little things that count!

Dont loose heart Davy, there is a demand for this but its allin the other thread "Conceede button"

i have a no objection to that lol cause i play whoever comes in my game lol noobs or pro it dont matter to win or lose i dont really care!!

but i think it is a good idea! also for all the people who only play for rank

but most of the people basically play for fun! lol

spinner, thats exactly what it says a "Conceede button" not a button to leave quick before the game starts.

Hmmm.. it would do the same thing. If the game has started, you conceed, if it hasnt, u just leave!

suppose it could

seems that this whole idea keeps appearing,

Its not an issue in the 8 Ball games really, so just beware of the rules, ...

whats wrong with playing low ranked players? if they beat u then take it like a man...and there is a quick leave button, its the X button in the top right corner of the window

Yep im the same Ronnie just play whoever comes along or whoevers game i join

LOL @ Afey - i had hoped no-one would mention that so my "conceed button" campaign could continue!

Regarding the issue of playing people of differing rank, or more specifically higher ranked players running away from a game, this is why the games should start from the break and ditch the silly 3 ball rule.

Its been done in 9-ball and is great. There is no excuse for not viewing someone's rank before playing them so that argument is non-existant.

Let the game begin at the beginning!

i agree with spinner. having the 3 ball rule means that players are doing runners if they make a poor start. I also would like to see the game start at the break

maybe the info before you enter a game should have the rank of the player hosting the game, then you can tell who you are going to play rank wise...?

Yeah good idea.

submit - you just check thier stats! doesnt everyone do that? (ok, i know the ASL crowd dont), but surely if you care, you check someone's rank before entering...

Trouble with that it while your checking somebody else will probably enter before you.

Well, thats the price you would pay for being picky about who you play...

why do you check someones stats lol? just enter the room and beat the person in there, if you wanna play them again do so, if you dont leave lol, as far as checking the stats goes.....talk about taking the fun out of the game....

Excellently put Phillippe..

But how about we make it properly fair, and only reveal peoples rank at the END of the frame.

This would make for a completely fair game, and the rankings would actually mean something...
