Dunno how hard or easy this would be to put in place, but i think a carom killer would be a great game, so many times ive entered carom games and there is 4, 5, 6 people watching and waiting for a game so why not introduce a game so everyone could play.

Obviously it'll be a lot harder than reg killer so maybe we could have 5 lives instead of 3 or something like that??

interesting idea but i dont think it will be brought into the site.

Very fresh idea, i do not play Carom much myself, but i think regular Carom plays would be delighted to see this brought into the site

I think the idea is a great one, and as someone who plays a fair bit of carom i'd like to try it certainly.

One potential problem i can see would be how lag would work with more than 2 players to decide the break, either two would have to play, then another two etc etc but that relies on something remembering where the first 2 finished. Of course you could just remove lag for it and have a random person breaking as in normal killer.

The only other downside i can see is that its much harder to leave the ball safe in carom, you cant really snooker someone, so basically the best shot player would win. Though im sure Destiny and the other seriously good players would find a way to score AND leave the balls in impossible places .

But great idea

Carom barely has enough players as it is. This would simply spread them out over the 2 games, as you struggle already to get a game.

Just not a good idea with the amount of players that play it at the moment. Need numbers to shoot up.

.

Carom has become a lot more popular the last few months and im sure the numbers entering tournys would prove that..

So therefore this could be a good idea, not many players play normal killer either so i think it is a good idea

good idea

Lovely idea David, would be good.

Watson..

I Love it!!!

This would be an insane game! I would love to see this put into action!

As there is only 3 balls, might only be able to have 3 players with someone using the red ball?

Or another alternative is to alternate the ball and everyone share the white or say...player 1 is white player 2 yellow player 3 white player 4 yellow etc.

Would be a great game and a true test of carom!

And if people say "there is a lack of carom players" then having additional carom killer on the site, can only do good things for carom in general.

If people learn carom, and give it a chance the majority like it. This is a fun way of introducing it!

Carom killer! Wooo!!

How would it work?

Well you get a certain amount of lives Jim, and if you dont make a success you lose a life.

Last one to have not been "killed" wins.

Quite like the Arcade killer

Any way of getting another life?

Pot the of course...

Well we could start with more than 3 lives as its a lot harder game so if we start with maybe 5 lives the gaining a life thing wouldnt be that big an issue,

18 in the last tourny. I really would not call that a lot at all. It's still not popular at all if you think about it. To be honest there isn't that many more people playing it, it's just that the same people play it more generally. So that point you said doesn't hold water.

Oh dame dame dame i admire the way you find something negative in every suggestion..

That a dig at me? I'm merely pointing out the massive flaw in this suggestion. Personally i wouldn't like to see this anyway. Wouldn't get more people playing carom. Might get the odd one but nothing worth noticing.

Can you see the future now aswell??
