you know when you stay up through the night and you fancy a good game of this snooker ,you join a tourney or 2 to pass time...only to be put up against a cheater...by cheater i mean when snookering your opponent he just moves the white to a safe place without even trying to escape from it,,and ruins the game..


i wouldent mind it so much but when a respected good player does it ,its more annoying..some people would sell there granny to win a game of this

the scenario is called a "pushout" i know its illegal on snooker but on here i don't think there is a way to determine a decent attempt out of the snooker also called "foul and a miss" what requires a 3D engine i was told.

for now theres nothing you can do, remember you can put them back in as well so use that to your advantage.

Sadly Blondie, I had this in the Arcade Tournament immediatly after I beat Ste_Efc and the guy i played who did the same thing as you described when I immediatly pulled him up on it came up with the excuse "well people do it to me so i do it back"....needless to say I then wooped him...

although actually the guy I played didnt do what you described haha i totally misread that! My opponent potted a red but snookered himself in doing so behind 3 reds, and instead of attempting to get a colour, nudged to the reds instead. Still got wooped

more the rank the more they tend to do it but the original virtuoso's never do it, never play regular enough and arcade is generally quick paced.

but to be honest most virts "care" for their rank and if it meant playing a "pushout" and having half a chance instead of trying to get out of a snooker and hoping for bit of luck, most users would choose the pushout so they don't lose loads.

what you can do is put your opponent back in afterwords and put them on ignore like Seb does then you can tell who is that type of player and who isn't.

the thing that annoyed me the most was ,the first time he did it i gave him dogs abuse, i.e telling him thats cheating ect ect,,then a few shots later he does it again" this time i was really angry ,,,i get drawn against him in the next tourney and low and behold he does it again..this time i had a wittness i.e another player watching the match.

it just annoys me when a guy i thought i got on with and was an "ok" and a fair player goes to the depths he goes to to win a game of on line snooker.....as basil brush sais "boom boom" jaza
