Posted April 17, 2007 The last one we had was relatively successful, so I thought I'd start a new one. All you need to play is a free yahoo account. http://games.yahoo.com Then click 'Pool'. I definitely recommend making a practice room to get used to controls if it is your first time playing. Rules (albeit a bit muddled) Game type: 8-ball. No timer. Doesn't matter if it's ranked or not, but I guess if you care about your ranking it'd be wise to turn it off. Each round will be 3 days long. During this time you must make an attempt at setting up your match with your partner. If no attempt has been made then you will be disqualified. If both players don't make an attempt then you'll both be disqualified. If both players can't find a time when they're available, then you can either choose a player to go through, or just forfeit. When a new round starts I'll post the pairings in this here post. I'm gonna say this will be best out of 3, but if you both agree to play it different (like best of 5) then I'm not gonna stop you. When the match is completed get one person to post the result and the other to quote it confirming. Please make these bold to make it easier for me to scan through the thread when I update this post. The winner of the finals takes all (nothing). [placeholder in case i think of more things] ROUND ONE, FIGHT! Ashmat (Asshat apparently) Deafults I guess Shorty Winnar JonSt Can't tell who won.

Posted April 17, 2007 Oh cool, people are actually interested. I'll give this 'til tomorrow, then make a thread with the rules and pairings etc How would you guys like to play it? Ladder style, like in smash bros, or I just randomly draw pairs from the winners? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 18, 2007 Pop-up blocker's not stopping it is it? That happened to me, no windows opened till i figured out what was happening. It opens in a fashion, you see the top bit with a cracking ad and saying wait 3 minutes bullshit. Nothing happens. I don't believe I have a pop-up blocker. Assuming we're not on about the internet options in the control panel, in which case it's set on medium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 18, 2007 I think a tournement would be better. A vs. B (A wins) C vs. D (D wins) A vs. D etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 18, 2007 Make sure you grab the latest Java, or try Firefox/Opera? I've tried it on both Slimbrowser and IE. I thought it was Slimbrowser to begin with as I have to go on IE to use Isketch. But I get the same bullshit on IE. I shall try getting the Java, see how I go.

Posted April 19, 2007 I think a tournement would be better. A vs. B (A wins) C vs. D (D wins) A vs. D etc. Both ways of playing support that :P Ladder Style would be like in smash bros where only the starting pairs are chosen, and after that whoever wins plays the winner of the pair next to them. The other way is just to choose pairs out of the winners after each round. And sorry for not getting the thread up yesterday, was swamped with last minute coursework !_! I'll get it done as soon as I get home from school. EDIT: Once the thread is up, I'll have a deadline for entry of Saturday morning. Around 5 am. This means the thing can start at the begining (ish) of a new week Also, how long do you guys think you should get to get each round played. It needs a cutoff deadline or this'll never get finished. 5 days sound about right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2007 Bullshit to five days. It short be shorter unless there be certain reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2007 Even though I'll probably end up having a match on a day or time when I can't get access to a PC and probably get disqualified. I shall participate. Let me just set up an account... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
