No, i'm just being realistic which many people don't seem to be on here anymore. Please, give me a couple of very good reasons why this should be added. Because the point you made in your original post holds very little water too.

5-6 players waiting in 1 room. If they are that bothered they could create another room to play each other. Problem solved.

Well dame every other post on this thread were positive comments if you go look.

And some people like to chat in groups so they could still play carom and all still be in on the same converstion..

And lastly its no big deal like its only a game, if it didnt work out they could just as easily remove it....

It's a big deal to the owner of the site (nick) who makes his earning through this site, so needs to bring stuff into the game which will benefit all.

Yeah i know every other persons comment was positive. They were also coming from basically the only people who actually play carom a lot. And also what does everyone elses positive comments got to do with my own opinion?

When it's coming from a partially biased group of people, it doesn't prove much to be honest.

Not really, as ideas are only put into practice if it benefits the majority of users, when this is only good for a handful of people on a site with nearly 25,000 on the site.

In my opinion, bringing this in will dwindle the already minute amount of players on carom.

Seven positive comments (of which two are qualified) is hardly a resounding vote of confidence to be fair.

The problem with this idea is that it adds very little to the site and potentially waters down popularity elsewhere. If it were the case that nick was twiddling his thumbs because of lack of things to do, then there might be a slight chance that it got introduced. As it is, there are far higher priority issues/enhancements to address. Any change requires effort and resources so it isn't simply a case of 'if it doesn't work, just take it out again'

Incloding carom in overall a month or two ago, was the first step that made carom just a bit more popular...If it continues rising, then carom killer would be something to discuss about in lets say 1 year or so...

As carom tournament is concerned, doesn't have many entries, but thats because of the time its been put, where not many carom players are on line.. if it was later at night it would have more entries, or if it was a 2nd carom tourn during the night.

But it has a long way until it becomes popular enough for killer...

Sometimes u dont even see more than 1-2 arcade killer rooms too.

(i'd love the idea of carom killer though, oh well :p)

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.


Contradiction much?

You said it wont increase...but you will get the odd one...Which correct me if im wrong...increases the amount of users playing carom!?

Never heard such garbage tbh...

How on earth would this reduce the amount of users playing carom!?!

When in the post i highlight previously...you said "might get the odd one".

You said Nick makes his living off of this site, and if its no harm for him to add this game baring in mind there is killer arcade...so im sure its not rocket science to implement...then its only beneifical to the site and only creates a bit of hard work for Nick (who reaps the reward).

You do get so official Dame and knock everything anyone throws out. In my opinionm the only reason you wouldnt like to see this implented is because your only thinking from your perspective.

Your the minority here, so the site should ignore the majority?

Only does good things this, there is no real reason why to not implement it.

Saying there isnt enough players is a reason doesnt really fit with me, because it can ONLY increase the attention and publicity.

Fact.

Plus, the reason people wont enter the tournies, is because i simply dont lose.

Even the big man Destiny couldnt defeat me in the last final, i even gave him a 6-1 advantage and then the magic happened.

Get practising big man

just my own thought here , but it would be a good idea.
i learnt more playing killer , against the good players than in games normally.
being absolutely naff at carom , i dont play! if i could play and watch good players at the same time it would be an incentive to give it a try!
hopefully beat degen then , ;p
