My question is, why is spinner the only one who this doesn't happen to?! Magicblack is a mod who this happens to, imagine how many other ppl this happens to who don't post!

This is a regular accurence for me, and i'm as nice as pie, especially to newbies!

Exactly.

Everyone should have the choice to play who they want, regardless of thier rank!

Now we're finally starting to agree!

Then forget rank altogether then since its not a reflection of ability. Another argument for my proposition of keeping rank totally hidden till after a game..


Check quicker! If you're too late serves you right for being picky.

Anyone else got valid opinions on this idea?

Seriously - as a compromise, why not enable this feature for friendlies only since it is unfair to apply it to ranked game for obvious reasons.

Not so seriously - while reading the old thread about this i was already LOL at Force's being "two-thoughted", when i found this gem from Rangers :





Ok, back to the subject..

Have you got a link for that thread?

'obvious reasons' LIKE WHAT! If they're so obvious why are you the only one who knows them. I really hate your sweeping statements spinner!

No, you believe everyone should have to play everyone/whoever comes in the room, regardless of there rank! I don't!


I'm really confussed as to why you hate this idea so much.

Here's the link to the page that quote was from : http://www.funkypool.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=6909

The "obvious reasons" are just that, obvious. Its not a case of knowing something, its just common sense that you cant have a ranking system with players selecting opponents.

cant have a ranking system with players selecting opponents.

Well that's were your wrong yet again, as we already have it. Hence a game being made '800 plus'.

yes you do! its written in your quote right up there ^ "Surley everyone should have the choice to play who they want! "

So if someone wants to play everyone, regardless of rank, they should be able to and not have poeple reject them because thier rank isn't high enough.



Never said i hated it, it's fine as an option in friendlies.

Its no different to having an option in tourneys saying "only play newbies"...

So if you already have it whats all the fuss about!



(The important difference is that at the moment someone of 600 rank has the choice to enter that game, removing that choice is removing thier right to play who they want..)

Can we get some new input as this is going in circles. It's a pity because what i think is a good idea is now dispersed in 2(to be 3) pages of forum. Theres no way anyones going to go through all that so the point is very quickly being lost to spinners sweet notings!

I apologise.. Just trying to help dudes, but it always ends up going in circles as you saw..

Usually it runs in to way more that 3 pages so i wouldn't worry

But i get the message so :

It's not really worth making a big deal out of it.

I like the idea mostly for reasons already posted. I see no problem (if not miner).

Best to leave the 'facts' out of it spinner, try looking through the idea as if it was put into action, then gather up any cons that you think might be worth putting into consideration. Sort of 'picking' in my opinion although i see your point.

No point in me repeating the reasons for or against the idea as they are all pretty much explained so far in the forum.

Everyone votes for what they want...

If that happened, it seems more people would agree with magicblack, hence that idea being more likely to be put into action, many people just go through games to find someone of the "right" rank to play anyway for themselves, this just makes it easier for those people, and spinner, you can carry on playing everyone...
