Well if you think about it Dgen, what would be the point in having a new game on the original table which would only benefit 1% of the site?

I'd like to see it on the reg table but i was just thinking which would be more popular. If it turned out like power then it would be a waste of time, there will probs be about 10% of the site at the most that wouldn't want it on arcade.

i understand that, thats why i said Regular, it would be no challenge on Arcade (except trying to prevent 2 balls potting at same time) but Regular is harder to pot so more of a challenge, plus its half way between Arcade and Original.

i still think some games should be brought out to main tables as everyone playing Arcade for me is a step backward and not forward

You could say It's no challenge on pool as well then, It's no harder to pot on the US pool tables than arcade on here.

I do agree tho it would be much better on the reg table, but probs not very popular after a few weeks.

i like the 2 in 1 as it takes skill to smash pack and pot 1 ball, anyone can smash and pot multiple balls

would make game more open though if you could pot from break

I think the reg table might be best suited. It wouldn't take long for the players who only play arcade to get used to it, yet it would still be morof a challenge than the arcade table. Also agree with a practice run.

I agree with practice run..and i think it should be for arc reg and orig..alrhough adding 3 new types like that will now have 3 extra games..dunno if that's an inconvenience...unless enough player's want it.

Arcade would be great for nebies to get use to game..of course orig will be a true challenge..and reg will be normal for the player's who are used to this site.

I really don't care how Nick would make it tbh. I just want it a LOT. Arc, reg or orig I don't really mind.

it wont be done for all 3 mate, you don't see Straight on pool on the UK/Arcade table, why? because its easier to pot with the buckets of pockets. 8US reminds me alot of Regular in a way, harder to pot, tight pockets and thats the type of Straight i like to see

Orig would be too small so would be on the Regular Table for similar similarities with US on Pool.

If this can't be done via game mode you could do a "practice" game mode for Straight

if it did get brought out as a game mode i disagree with practice run as more people would be practising and not playing (like carom is now), the idea is to try and get people to play other people rather than practice but im not one to talk as i spend 30 mins practising the attacking break in orig.

Reg is definitely the best suited table. I just hope there is a realistic chance of us getting it at some point.

How about just bringing this in on the original table and getting rid of arcade completely . People will have to play on the proper tables then .
