Running during a break
I've brought this up before, and I'm bringing it up again, but we really do need a new feature where a player's break continues even if the opponent leaves. No less than three times today, people have quit the game against me when I've been on a break of 30+, and looking good. I'm not saying I would have made much more, but you never know. Anyway this kind of thing is very annoying and I feel that something should be done to stop his from happening.

Ty, Martin.
And my breaks were in snooker pro, but this would also, obviously, be a good idea for snooker light.
maybe some feature where the break continues and the player cannot leave. But that also brings up the fact they can just disconnect.

Doubt this would be taken into consideration but even after a player leaves the match you can continue your break.

Siple alternatives that maybe should be taken inot consideration.
Yeah, and considering the fact that I know other pool/snooker games have a feature where a run/break would continue if opponent leaves, surely it wouldn't be very difficult for FoD to follow suit?!

Martin.
ummm depends how energetic the programmers or whoever does it are feeling lol

and from the way certain other staff members (not necessarily paid) run i won't be too hopeful
Ahhh well, I never said I was very hopeful anyway:(:p.

Considering my highest is 65, I wasn't too happy. :(

Cheers,
Jamez.
i agree biglister m8 but it aint gonna be sorted for ages if at all.  just be happy with the win at the mom till fod sorts it
Totally agree with you, it angers me sometimes. I have been ran on whilst on 50+ in pro before and when over 100 in lite a few times! most recently in lite when ''ultimate'' left the game when i was on a 85 in lite with 53 left on :@
I've gotta agree with this guy here, its totally unfair and displays a real lack of sportsmanship. Very often Ive been on a big break of 18 or something and they'll leave, its so frustrating!



The meister B-)
Lol Dave, I assume your highest is 19 or something then:p?

Martin.
Hahaha yes thats true, ahh I'd forgotten all about that one, all my breaks blend into one after a while.



The meister B-)
sry it was a 145 not 146 my mistake
Oh yeah, of course it was, sorry. Hmmmm I was probably having a bad day :|

This is a fair post but I'll treat it with a simple response....If you play someone u know or hardly know, and they run out on you during a possible "big break"..then tough noogies, you really think some of us are gona wait around for someone who may be playing at a snail's pace (YOU PLAYERS KNOW WHO U ARE!) to complete their break...FFS! C'mon ppl! OK, fair enough if it was someone I knew and called a mate, then of course NP...I'd wait there till the end. Stop moaning the rest of you and try to be realistic. BTW the idea that the game should stay open even if the opponent leaves, WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Plus, you players moaning about the same thing in Lite, get a life...a midget smurf with a broken mouse could make a sizeable break in no time at all....IF YOU GONA MOAN, DO IT ABOUT THE PRO GAME, WHICH IS FAR MORE TIME CONSUMING IN CERTAIN FRAMES! B-)
Wow, Jaswild is off dem :O:p...

I'm not moaning mate, just making a point;).

Martin.
And I just made a 61 break:p
well played bigL....you personally weren't moaning but you see my point don't you... ;-)
yup i see your point

do you wait for someone who takes 30 seconds+ to make one shot 

i mean if you were going to make a 30+ break in the first place

then surely that means you are capable of making it again

unless you get lucky which is nothing to breag about anyway 

so i think jaswild has a point 

and remember these are only points of view so don't start bombarding someone with more insults than the london blitz lol

ty :)
In the real game you cannot concede until it's your turn. If it weren't for disconnections, I might suggest that a points penalty is given here. Unfortunately that could also mean extra penalties for what are already annoying disconnections, and not forgetting Jaswild's point - this is a computer game not a pro sport, and not everyone wants to hang around watching themselves lose.
Shut it pip squeak "♦Pяǿ Pℓаүєя♦™" , your just breathing unneccesarily again...btw use dictionary for that word :|

--TheKillers__ :) 
*Unnecessarily - grrr my aggression got the better of me again! :p
All this anger TheKillers   i guess it's the wrong time of the month again.
 
or maybe he/she just has teretz ;)
tsk tsk...chris I aint the one with the mick dundee complex...shove anotha one of the barbie yer lil ripper and lets have a few bevvies.

Chris...sense who this is...keekkeekeke...g'day mate ;)
hows that a good example.  he was a guest lmao and theres a big diffrence between using a new nik or a guest name to using your own.  theres no pressure what so ever on ratings or top 20 listings.  there are rarely people having big breaks on high rated names.  
Erm.. Martin i wasn't actually playing, Fearless was playing with SeanMurphy who were both 300+ at the time and i made the screenshot after murphy went to lobby.

Get facts right before blabbing you half-wit :| 

By the way how's your relationship with Ronnie blossoming these days :D?

I think by restructuring the point system from low to high, players would be alot less inclined to RUN but until then  runners RUN! It's a sign of bad sporsmanship in most casses , and can cause the game to loose it;s creditability. I ask players I play if they want BO3 or 1, if they don't answser, I play 1, otherwise I always play BO3. 
i was talking about the ss in page 2 silly boy and i aint spoken to ronnie ain a while 
Lol, it only took you about 7 months to reply:p
if it took a year what diffrence does that make ?
the topic was obviously reopened as someone else repilied.  i see where the simple comes from in your name now :p joke m8 look forward to seing u in snook soon (y) 
Aaaah now this is what I mean by the good old days of forum, where freedom of speech was embraced. Things change I guess:) I werent half flipping good though.



The meister B-)
I mean the fact that the guy you replied to (Cadillac I think) is probably banned by now:p
