Hi I would like the option to multi table, I.E play 3 or 4 matches at the same time. I do it when playing poker and other games, and do not see why it could not implement reasonably easy here.

Before you comment , please do not comment merely to say it would be too difficult, or that it could encourage cheating.

Its a daft argument as if it is too difficult for an individual, thats fine, dont do it, whereas some would, each to their own.

On the cheating side of it, if the clever clogs building the website put coding in to mean you cant play yourself, bobs your uncle.

It would encourage cheating tbh, people already do it with guests, multi tab opening, and get high breaks etc.

I dont like this idea as its a way to get your games played up so fast, and it makes funky even more unrealistic as you couldnt play 3 or 4 matches in real life.

So im against this idea, sorry.

It would be good fun, trouble is far too many people take the game very seriously and get really upset and depressed when they lose games so I doubt many people will be too keen on this idea!!

Unbelievable, do you not read the forum post ice and haste?

Its not hard to implement IP coding to stop people playing themselves.

but what if you want to play against a family member? with this coding it takes that out of it, sometimes you just can't prove if they are playing themselves.

i don't like the idea soz mate.

you could do that now, therefore your post is irrelevant

What he is saying which I think you are misunderstanding is...

Currently you can play a family member and there will be no dramas, however applying the coding you are talking about and then that takes out that part of the game, and many people do that anyway, for a laugh or just with mates at home.

I don't dislike the idea I just think other things are needed more at the minute in the game. Doubles for example would go down a storm.

I personally would like to see something added where if you open a PM box with someone and have a conversation it saves to your offline messaging inbox, so you have a record of what was said and not there(Similar to what happens with a chat box on FB). I think it would be a great addition for people who run leagues, events and the like.

But that's a completely different topic altogether.

I'm not talking about cheating, I'm more to the point of playing more frames then one at the same time. Its unrealistic!

So is a 2D snooker table which looks like it has been designed on paint. There are limitations when it comes to realism and funky snooker isn't much anyway. Thats just the way its been designed, which I prefer anyway so this idea would do no harm really

Yes ofcourse being in 2D ect ect has its limitations but I'm basicaly saying try to keep it as realistic as it can be.

Also how many people would use this do you think?
What extent do you think they will take it to, 1 tab, 2 tabs, 5 tabs?
And putting them two questions together, how many random shots do you think there will be?

exactly my point admins don't know if people are multi using even if it lists all the accounts as anyone who logs in at your house is registered.

i still don't like the idea, if you want to practice open a second window (it would come up with unavailable to log in) or if you want to play 2 games at same time go on funkypool as well

If that was implemented i would instantly want the swear barrier taken down. Family friendly site that doesn't allow you to play your family xD
