i dont know if this has been asked before but it would be good if there were option for put rank limit for a game (when no one can enter if DOESENT have expected amount of points)
just a thought

Oh no!

Now you'll stir SPINNER. That idea (although a pretty good one) is his pet hate. Don't say I didn't warn ye, ye doomed, doomed...

This (almost) extract from THE KRAKEN may help:

Way way down,
In the impenetratable deeps,
Spinner,
Sleeps

Yep, stevo summed it up trickshot. Putting spinner on his 'everyone should play everyone' soapbox can be a little risky

It has come up b4, and I think it's a good idea. Those that WANT to play everybody still can, and those, like yourself, who prefer to play higher rankers have a way of barring ppl who ignore game room names (like Over 750 only).

Why did i get mentoned right away?

Its not a pet hate - just create a game called (for example) "OVER 800".

Dont listen to those that say it doesn't work. It does.

The next round of results aint ready yet, but have a look here :
http://www.funkypool.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=7343

Then have a look at the oldest thread on the Game Queries forum right at the bottom of the last page..

Its not just my soapbox, its the opinion that has prevailed since the forum started!



(for those interested, the longest run is 27 different player entering the game with none under 800..)

Ah, but you couldn't resist posting, could you.

Hmmm... but it seems it's ME who's provoked you, and not the original query. I have somehow deflected and absorbed.

I'm not gonna distract the post though, so:

I think everyone SHOULD play everyone...but I also think that everyone should have the choice. So by opposing ppl's right to choose who they play, arent you behaving exactly the same way as the very ppl you Shetlanders have been fighting against for 3000 years....the Cy bermen?

Er, Martin - I support peoples right to choose who they play... Its just that some people, clearly the majority, choose to play everyone..

However, the facts are - if you are polite and make the room name clear (avoiding txt speak and things like "Under 800 and you will DIE!"), then you can happily select who you play already without needing anything else. (Boot buttons/rank limiters etc)

Be respectful, and you will be respected...

(Shetlanders dont fight anybody - we grew up...)

Well, ok, but you'd hardly call it a fight - we'd just push em in the water....
