Don't really see how this can work.

Why cant it work?

Don't see how you can play killer without pockets. Not enough people IMO. But go ahead...prove me wrong.

Well b2b, it can really go like this,

5 Players, 5 lives, if you dont make a successive shot, you lose a life, once all lives are lost, you are eliminated from the game, until the game ends. Its really quite simple. A really good addition for constant Carom players IMO..

i rarely play carom, bores me after a few games, but i think if this was introduced i might be more interested in playing

i definitely play a game of this if it was introduced

plus players like me who are crap at carom would play this more, then they would get practice at normal carom and therefore get better at carom leading to more players of the game

A lot of positive comments i must say

You can't be totally serious now ! haha!

You have misinterpreted my post. The numbers of players on carom would reduce as some would move to this other game, which dwindles the users playing carom. Quite simple to be honest.

Carom is by far the least popular game on here as well, so making 2 different types of carom for a very very small amount of users has no logic what so ever.

Thats like saying Regular would dwindle Arcade and Original players, so it shouldnt of been created.

My thinking is this will attract users who dont actually play carom aswell as the people that already do.

Therefore a % of the newly introduced carom killer players will then learn/understand carom...which then means they will be more willing to play carom.

I dont see any negatives and with Arcade killer already available i would imagen it would be well in the capabilities on Nick to implement without too much hassle.

I think it boils down to how complicated implenting this idea into gameplay actually is.

If its 'easy' then i think it should give it a go however being realistic, if adding this idea into gameplay is somewhat difficult, then i would understand it not being made priority due to the lack of users playing carom.

Yes that is exactly what it's like, however arcade and original already had more than enough players to cover for the few that changed to regular so neither game would die out. That is the key difference between the 2.

Damee, you think that having a Carom Killer game would reduce the amount of Carom players?...

...or just that there aren't enough Carom players (at the moment) to make Carom Killer worthwhile?

It would split the already small amount of carom players as they would be across 2 games and not 1.

But also yeah there is nowhere near enough users playing carom at the moment to make it worthwile.

I agree with your second point.

But I can't imagine that any/many carom players would 'swap' to Carom Killer. All that would happen is that carom players would play it in addition to Carom.

However it does mean though that less games will be played on carom, as they will spend some of the time on carom killer. May have been better if i said it would reduce the amount of games played on carom rather than players.

Yeah that sounds better.

I suppose that could happen.

sounds like a good idea , but also could add the longest run in each frame gets a life.

Also Damee...

You could argue this case with Normal Killer...

The players that play Arcade killer, still also play arcade.

Also does it matter that less games will be played in carom?

Im pretty sure that Regular, Killer, Carom have all reduced the amount of games played in arcade and original so i dont really see why that is an issue.
