Hi Everybody (Hi Simon) like out of Simpsons.....

Any who... I was thinking why don't we have an option where you are able to select a best of 3 frames for example. That way you'll be able get a decent crack at your opponent.

I think anybody can win over 1 frame where as if you do a best of 3/5/7 then gives you plenty of time to get involved.

I was thinking it could be set up as if you play a best of 7 if the player leaves at first frame he will either concede just 1 frame or the minimal it would take to win so in a best of 7 it would be 4 frames.

This way nobody just hits and runs they will have to stay and least play you another time which gives the game a tad more of a competitive edge that we all love to have.

And before people comment 'What happens if you have to leave after 1 frame'

Basically don't enter a Best of.. match be the same as a tournament, if you can't play it all don't enter it
-----------------------

Also a second idea... Quite a few times I see myself and others all in the game room chatting away maybe playing Winner Stays On (WSO) why not make an actual game option where we are able to do this?

Have it like killer so the room creator says 5 players WSO anybody can enter anybody can play. I myself would play anybody from 500-1000 rank I win I lose makes no difference so think this would be a good idea as people like the involvement

What do you all think?

I've been a big fan of multiple frame games for many years.

The "problem" people always had was that if you got disconnected it was unfair. As disconnects are pretty rare, i'd say it was a risk worth taking?

Winner stays on has also always been popular, not sure if I can recall any issues there!

Best idea i've heard in quite a while, WSO has always been a personal favourite of mine, usually play it amongst friends and stuff, but i'd really love it to be implemented here, it would boost the game up so much IMO..

Usually if you disconnect it's mostly down to your Internet not the site, so that's their own fault if this does occur.

If you even a long match you're accepting the risk so hopefully nobody would be on the forums after complaining.

Definitely think nick should at least give one if not both of these options a try. Just to see what Feedback we can generate

I prefer the second option which in my view should be implemented as you can do this and have good fun with some friends except if your playing "destiny" stays on then you get bored

The first i have mixed feelings (and not because of my net).

Pro - Have more competitive edge, If players don't want to play it then don't press play. More fun for those who don't disconnect.
Con - Players could just keep pressing play under the current system, Easier ranking points. Arguments for those who disconnect frequently.

I would say implement it but leave a normal option for those who want to play normally.

Another idea is what mich had on pool where you can select a different type while playing a clan match, this saves the bother of reinviting them and friends etc. and the score can remain so you won't lose track.

Also watch at anytime but not sure how far that has gone into development

Been asked for a long long time this, however I still think we need to see the "hippo game" introduced first (for everyone that knows about this)
