i think they should add straight pool to the game
ny1 agree with me

Straight pool as in.....??

Are you talking about UK on a different table? Because I don't quite get you.

usually straight pool has numbers so probly us cause the point is to get in any ball and if you get 1 in u get 1 point and you go till every ball is in and the person with the most points win

Sounds fun

Don't worry they take their time updating

heard of straight billiards. Good game though. im not sure how popular it wud be man.

Are you suggesting that we are all David Gray?

Sure i have had my burm felt in a few tournament games but i have had to resist, Squeezy said my cheeks were to Squeezy to not feel when i wiggle my burm around the table, obviously i have so much talent on my backside that the male section of the funkypool have a good look aswell.

Anyway there isn't enough female for us all to have striaght pool, we all have to bend our ways when on this site

When i was single, we used to go out on the straight pool, but i think that's the trend nowadays except for homosexuals...who go on sthe bent pool

I agree dat straight pool should be added it looks fun and would be a great addition to the game, uk 8 ball also wouldnt be a loner lol

billiards is the best gamee!... im a really great player in the real life..and it so much fun!

ya at least i no that others agree with me

and im not a loner

droflehz please do not spam the forums. You have been the last to post on every thread.

Yes this would be a good idea but how much will it get played. For example will it be a game like us 9 that dont get played as often as the rest. Or will it be a popular game!

well it depends what u like beta i mean i play uk and us 9 the most

but as u say some people never play us 9

Just reading up on some straight pool rules:

Unlike in most pool games, where pocketing a ball and spreading the balls is the aim on the break, the object in straight pool's standard initial break shot is to leave the opponent with a safety. This is because the call shot rule includes the break shot.


Willie Mosconi - Holds the official Straight Pool record for running 526 balls in a row.


His father owned a pool hall and originally tried to keep him away from the game by taking the pool balls away, but Willie carved his own balls from potatoes and practiced with a broomstick


Regarding adding extra games it's not on the plan at the moment, but I would like to add extra games in the future.

So it is a real game!!!

Sorry droflehz - I thought there must be something wrong with you

lol no problem
so mods and admin can you look at bringing it in

I don't really see the point in it...That's why snooker exsists.

simple maths,
assuming there are even preferences towards each discipline..
let y be the no of games
x the number of players at any given time:
x
- = no of plqyers on qame.
y

right now:
112/3 means roughly 35 players a game.

add say two more games and its down to 20, presume 20% (at least) are chatting and you only have an average of 7 games running.

In short, I don't think the site currently has enough regular, active players to facilitate the introduction of new games.
