I am trapped in a game against this player. He is snookered from the last red behind the yellow, and is tapping into it over and over. The score is currently 223 - 10. These no life morons need to be banned. How do I eventually get the win in this game?

EDITED out the name.

EDIT: I finally managed to win it. I had to outplay him, at his own sad game and eventually luckily potted the last red and cleared up. 15 mins of both our lives we will never get back.

wait until someone leaves or loses connection.

i would edit the name due to the shaming rule and send a complaint to admin instead

alternately you could also play a pushout here and get the ball where he can't snooker you. That way you have half a chance to clear.

I have had this done to me a couple of times in the past too. Surely there should be an auto win when the opponent needs a certain amount of snookers to win - like in tournaments

True but once destiny needed 7 or 8 snookers against me in Arcade and somehow he got them and won the game

Also once Peggi and Damien played a 2 hour frame playing safe only and only time they potted was if they fluked

All he needs to do is play it away from the yellow so the guy cant tap into it...

No because you play the white out so its not snookered, then they play it back into a safe spot. The only way to get out of it is to smash the white towards the reds and hope for a fluke

Or the guy will just roll into the red so its safe. I've had it done to me too, just have to wait it out until you get a chance to pot then whatever you do, don't miss!

If you bring the cue ball to the other side of the table, it gets more and more difficult to leave it safe.

You are 223 points ahead of him :/ why don't you just play it away from the yellow won't affect you if you foul once!!

Hello.

This is not just about this one situation, msl has said it has happened to him, and more disturbingly, the player doing it to me stated that someone previously did it to him, so he felt he was "getting his own back on him"...

Firstly, people should not be doing things like this.
Secondly, I should be allowed to report him for this, but when I looked at the complaint reasons on offer I didn't think any of them would be accurate.
Thirdly, people should not have the ability to be able to do this in the game. I think at 10 snookers needed, I should be able to declare myself the winner. Or perhaps, a certain amount of fouls in a row?

however like my destiny example, if you feel you can get those snookers then why not try for them?

these people are only the minority. I would put it as Admin Attention in the Complaint Box.
