Post 5/5

Clan Forum Threads - Not trying to seem argumentative... buuuuut...
Could there be a new thread for inter-clan communications?
Thus leaving clan threads for Captains/Vices to organize their clans?
Idk, I just see leagues as an endless flow of dramatics, which is nice n everything, but a tad erratic for my tastes.
Currently, bombarding threads to mess with peoples confidence/cause internal concerns, is something of a sport in itself? =/
Don't get me wrong, a bit of banter is alright...
A lot of what I read though... with my antisocial paranoid conspiracy complex on top...
seems to have motive/intentions?

Remembered a thought I didn't note down...
Text Customization for forums - Bit of colour?

Definitely think we should have the charmap symbols on forums though

Good to see this idea being considered, think it would do wonders for getting people to stay around longer and then once the addiction sets in we have them!

Clan System Update - I think that if this is thought out very carefully then it may work. But that is a very faint agreement there.

Account Customization/Avatars - I think that the MMO style customization will still only apply to a very small minority, but I think an achievements page (or something along those lines) as an extra tab on your profile could possibly work? Just a quick idea though...

Darts MiniGame - I think if everything else gets done and Nick still has some spare time on his hands then this would be a faily decent addition. But I personally would like to see all the other suggestions added in first.

Stabilize FPS/Lag - I think switching the game from Java isn't going to happen. The reason for this is because it is too much effort, haha. No, I think the reason is because of how accessible Java is to people. All you need to do it download Java which is then going to work on your computer. But with Flash and HTML5 you need browsers that are compatible or you need to mess around with stupid plugins. I have some facts here for you:
HTML5 is supported by 40% of browsers, whereas Flash is supported by 99% of browsers. Java is also supported by nearly every browser on every single operating system. Flash on operating systems such as Linux can be quite a pain in the rear to get it up and running with your browser of choice.

Ability to re-size image - To clarify here, the funkypool website is not being run by Java. The webpage is coded in HTML. So adding in the auto re-size shouldn't be that much of an issue.

Jack - re: Stabilize Lag/FPS so what we need there then...
is a fast, stable platform that is compatible with all systems.
Easy peasy.

All - So what do the rest of you think about the doable ideas?
any thoughts?

Trying to beat the swear filter is not acceptable trix!

where did I swear (playing along)
bear in mind, before you answer, I know various dictionaries very well.

The bit in bold about an unstable funkypool woman...disgraceful!

ohhh haahaa
didn't even notice

fixed
ty

8us, 8 UK killer, 9 Ball killer types

You have options

Killer: Choose game type:
(8us)
(9us)
(8uk)


Think this would be very fun! Being able to play Killer, but with a UK sized tables, or play killer with the 9 ball style rack!

Thoughts?

I like the 8uk killer idea
Think it would asier for everyone- thus quicker games?

1 game would take forever, too easy to fluke in them pockets. Be a waste of time. I'd like the US tables reverted back to how they were so makes it able to rattle the ball in the jaws once again.

This new modification has been tried and tested and I personally preferred how it used to be.

+1
but...
the absence of jaw-rattling does help with combating lag?-rattles.

I only get a little lag when i have more applications open or on the wrong power mode. I cant see how 'rattling' would have much to do with lag tbh.

i can/have...

Been playing with the lag recently actually...
Seem I can get the game to run a little more consistent if i increase cpu load my end.
curious?
if i have a movie stream playing, youtube open but nothing playing, msn, sktechup and a few notepad docs...
...then my game runs smoother/more consistent.
(but yh slower obviously)
Possible explanations?
please don't say imagination lol
