You should hear the words your saying... carom is not skilfull?... actually its so hard many people are not good at it because they cant handle the spin and controll of the white ball... Carom improves ur spin and the moving of the white a lot.
In contrast to that arcade (which I remember u play apart from kiler the most) is not very skillfull thats why its so hard to name 'the best' player
In my opinion carom should stay were it is since its the only type with a bit off difference and no limits are set... not like in arcade where its about who has the most maximums so you can always improve your runs...
And about billards... depends on what type u mean: i think cricket is fun but i would prefer having something like a 'fun' game like on pool (golf i mean)...
I would still like both tho

in my view carom table spin is completely different to arcade table. Watching the vid posted by someone earlier regarding billiards,it seems to be even easier getting big runs than this carom format so maybe billiards shouldnt be on here.

yes spin is alot different, carom you have to think about shots, arcade you dont really need to think much.

I agree with you Seb... I think billairds on a table with pockets is the underlying request here.
And, it would keep the caromers happy too, as, theoretically, there is no limit to the break that can be scored. It does, of course get harder if you pot your opponent's white ball, but nothing stops you from carrying on and playing in-off the red.
The video below shows a break of 291 .... not bad, but can do better

That's the idea of the game, have a look at the wikipedia page with the rules i posted above

my idea of billiards is with pockets.maybe the solution is to stick pockets on the carom table,make it harder to get runs-the table now is easy for the experienced few that play.

i play billiards in my local club twice a week, not a bad game, and billiards does have pockets, which would be the one probably that should be on Fs
