Ah right, I see, I agree with you having only 2 standard snooker games.

I would also, personally, agree with original snooker to be replaced with the '15 red arcade', or decreasing the table size slightly, and increasing the ball diameter in comparison.

Although select users may disagree with this, I feel the original version of the game has somewhat decreased in popularity.

Going into this with an open-mind, maybe it's time for it to be toggled slightly to introduce a sight more user-friendly version of original for those who find it very difficult to play due to screen sizes/resolution?

Thus achieving two or three popular, regular played games, rather than just arcade dominating original.


Yerp i agree....Although i do like the Original Game can sometimes be boring waiting for an opponent or waiting fot a game to be made. Even when they are made there made by guests most of the time. So basically make 3 games out of 4.

The second point. If arcade players moved onto orig, then this problem wouldn't exist!


I cant see the second point happening because of the first point

I looked at the original tournament today and there was 5 people that entered. Is this good enough for a time of the day where we are approaching 150 users online?

From my point of view, if original snooker were to be just slightly modified to make it slightly easier (yet still more of a challenge than arcade) then i would definitely play it more and I no other would as well, and I no that you great players of original would feel robbed if people started getting high breaks on a slightly different table, but cmon give us some of your glory

Personally, I want 15 red arcade and heres why,

10 Red Arcade - Being the easiest of the three

15 Red Arcade - Being half way between 10 red and Original, thus slowly enticing members to try out Orig

Original - The hardest of the three and hpefully becominng more popular with the bridge between the two games.

That's how I see it anyhoo.

Agree with mike, changed my mind about billiards.

Also another advatage to 15 red arcade is that the people on 10 red arcade don't have to make the jump straight to orig, then can go onto 15 red arcade, then onto orig. Not making the jump in 1 step. Would make original more popular.

Finally, Damee agrees! *throws a party* Welcome to our side matey!
If billiards was brought in like many people say it would just get boring, I'm sure I'd only have a couple of go's then never again.

If a third snooker game *were* introduced, it would simply lead to a situation similar to the one pool was in a while back before the pro games were removed.

It wouldnt encourage users to play original, it would eliminate them from trying, and lead to original being non-existant.

I can't get my head around the idea of a 15 red arcade game not taking as long as a 15 red original game. It takes the same lenght of time to pot the balls, irrespective of the table design!

Sorry to keep going on, but i've yet to see any suggestion for a 15 red arcade game that makes it different from original.

(if its table size thats bothering you, remember you can change your screen resolution if you really want to)

However, Blutch was right with his post earlier. There are 10 and 15 red games already here, what we are discussing is an additional game.

Like golf was on pool, it may seem like it would be a fad, but the amount of requests for billiards alone shows the demand, and in time a smaller subset of users will grow around it. There have been over 236000 games of mini golf played on pool already. Not bad for something many dismissed as a novelty

Also, have a look online for another online billiards game..

yeah but Nick would want the chosen game to be popular and be played consistantly, and spinner the game would be finished far quicker because there would be less misses


oh just spotted this..

"Also, have a look online for another online billiards game"

There might be a good reason for this ...

No I don't think so, that would mean a whole new site (obv) which means more costs, all new staff, and a whole lot more work to maintain all three!
