i think we shud be able to make rooms with a rank u want to playbut it cant be any more than ur rank n only that rank can join the room like rooms 780-800 when ur 789!

what u think?

Old news, it's been and gone with some interest.

As Mr_mc said already gone.

Your input is admirable, but it's just old mate.

I've posted every other time this is mentioned, so just saying hi! Dont wanna loose my good record! LOL!

(and 13_evo_12 - just create a game called "OVER 780" or whatever, it does work, i spent a VERY long time proving that!)

LOL!

yer he did, he set up a servey about it, made it called "800 and over plz" or something and got about 95% over 800.. about 2% from newbies who wouldnt understand bout it!

well i make a room called say "760 plus" about 80% under 760 would come and about 20% over 760 would come! Its annoying

its onli a gme does it really matter who you play just play for fun

Well said BUT if you want points and you play a newbie and they kill yout rank if you lose if you get me and it gets quite annoying if you get what i am saying. It's happened to me plenty of time and it does get annoying.

You didn't prove anything spinner! I do this all the time and get ppl in my rooms giving me abuse! Maybe you should try in a different user name because so many ppl know you! Or if you want i'll conduct my own test, and just so you know im doing psychology atm and know alot about testing!

go on then 1_eye

would add a little more dimension to the testing and may provide very diffent results, who knows?!

good luck 1_eye if you do that

play a newbie and they kill yout rank if you lose you actualy lose less points if you play a newbie. personaly i dont see y people dont just play for the fun of it

But it's not much fun playing a fake newbie who is intent on being a fool! Also i prefer playing adept and pros as you get a better game! Or am i the only one again

I've always been confused about the "losing rank to newbies" thing!

And by all means 1_eye go for it! I'm still doing it just to see, and its extremely rare anyone doesn't pay attention.

(good luck with the studies too! Applied psychology is what i did my degree in and i loved it, and keep up with research to this day. just not a very pleasant line of work that follows it..)

I think we have to accept, me included, That if a topic is repeatedly suggested, to the extent of frustration, then maybe it's the listening thats the problem!

Well what you have to remember is that this is usually brought up by one person, who invariably ends up as a deleted or banned user, because they want to draw attention to themselves.

The simple fact is that for less than 1% of the time, it simply is not needed.

The oldest thread on Funkypool discusses this, and came to the same conclusion all the others do - everyone should play everyone.

You are right Spinner. Its not needed.

But then again, the whole website is not needed.
But its great! And people love using it, despite it not actually being needed. If using such a feature was optional, then whats the problem?

The problem is that Nick would have to waste his valuable time adding something to that game that isn't needed!

These things dont just appear you know!

Here's one of my favourite threads about this : http://www.funkypool.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=7635

I like martins (almost) quote, very effective and true

Also, it only seems to be a minority that complain about people outside a specified rank enterimg their games, so although its a good, not exactly badly needed is it!?
