My basic idea about yahoo pool bots and spammers

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

After Yahoo! FINALLY took a step about killing bots in our rooms (captcha) we have now less bots but we still have . We also have human spammers whom cant make it work that bot programs but still want to spam.

My idea is Yahoo! may stop new accounts (id’s) to able to use chat function on lobbies till they play 50 rated games. This will not stop them but will make their job harder. So no one will go and create an id in one minute and come back to spam.

It is like what most leagues has in their rules, they do not allow provisional players to join their leagues.

My Yahoo! Pool

Monday, May 19th, 2008

I wanted to share you my conditions, behaviours about Yahoo! Pool and yes i know i am strange :p

  • I don’t suddenly decide to play , if i would play i was decide from yesterday or noon of the day.
  • I never play during daylight since year 2002.
  • I never play (or can’t) without drink vodka. It helps me to enjoy the game and more important it helps me to go in to mood cause it is hard for me to still play after 150k games since year 2000. I drink one bottle of vodka at the day i play Yahoo! Pool. .

    I know many peoples do not believe me and says how can someone able to play and shoot like that with that much alcohol but i don’t have to convince anyone (second glass for now) :p

  • I mostly go play in social,beginner rooms with low rating players. This helps me to warm up and gives chance to low rating players to play with a high rating player to earn more points. If i am playing in a league at that time i do not need warm up i directly go to play .
  • I don’t watch television, download something , close all my messenger, emails, feed readers so nothing can disturb me.
  • If i really want to win a game i do not chat during the game.
  • I always listen music with my headphones while i play. I have a Pool folder in my music software (I tunes right now) and have many chosen songs in it i like and they keep me awake and enjoy playing. During playing i mostly listen rap, hip hop, rock.
  • I always play timer games cause i lost my mood without timer and feel cold to play. This is one reason why i do not join leagues. All my games are 5 to max 10 seconds games so i do not wait my opponents to go eat the dinner or whatever.
  • I always say hello or good luck before the game no matter if they are friend or stranger. Most people do not answer this but i actually test them and if they do not answer i just concentrate more to kick their azz . I hate and hit play again if they do not answer my hello or gl but say gg after the game .
  • I always prefer to not play regular 8 ball , i enjoy bank the 8, last pocket, red ball last, corners only etc which skills needed. or mixed all of them in the same game or bank all balls with that rules. Yes i enjoy to play em all with 5 to 10 second timer games :)
  • I do not play like a bitch (defensive) if i can see a ball i just shoot, no matter if able to pot but if my opponent do not deserve my fair play i can play defense like hell .I do not play directly defense i use rails or other balls like the real pool rules.
  • If my opponent is fair and yahood (Yahoo! pool glitches) i moslty give their turn by tapping the cue ball back especially on black ball. Rating is not everything, i only care if it is a fair game, if i enjoy to play with that opponent i don’t care losing.
  • I do not use ball in hand if i pot two kind of balls at break , it is a Yahoo! glitch and using it is not fair
  • I play Yahoo! Pool on my Win XP computer with Firefox browser. I play with 1680×1650 screen resolution on my 22 inch display
  • I deleted most of my ID’s and now i have around 50, i keep them all in Microsoft excel sheet in 2 different flash drives (one is back up) not on my computer.
  • I don’t play if i am angry about something cause i know can’t concatrate and will lose all my games then :p
  • I miss most of the easy shots but make hard ones

If i forgot to add anything i may add here later

Cheers

Yahoo Pool Update 21

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

I was waiting if someone ask me why i jump to Yahoo! Pool update 22 from 20 but also i know the answer cause not many reads this blog :)

Anyway Yahoo! changed the break power (April 2008) after years and i guess so many players didn’t realize this. It almost changed half bar (ummm 1/2 ) faster. I know this cause i don’t use full power and i always use same power at my breaks and now it goes faster.

Yahoo Pool Update 22

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

This small update is yet again about the ghost cue ball.Color changed to thin brown from bold yellow.

Yahoo Games Team update our tables

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

If you are playing your Yahoo! Pool games with fast timer like 5-7 seconds i am sure you hate to click somewhere accidentally when you try to catch the cue or you setup aim first but cue is on the english setup ball and it hinder you to setup english so you lose time cause you have to setup english and then aim which english mostly doesn’t work if you setup it first.

I know it sucks cause i do that often (i know you too). I thought if Yahoo! Games Team change the Yahoo! Pool table design we can get rid of this accidentally clicks and we enjoy more.

So what i thought new or different ?

Yahoo! Pool table design suggestion

  • Put some space between advertisements and table so no one accidentally click them and curse.
  • Moving all of the buttons from left side to below the chat area so we don’t hit them during the game.
  • Diamond system which part of the real Pool, billiard in real life but we don’t have it on our tables. Diamond system is good for calculating bank shots, rail shots or when trying to get rid of a snooker.
  • Make the user names on the table non clickable
  • Make the user avatars non clickable
  • Move english setup ball to right side far away from cue
  • Add back rating name sort list back but not at the top of player list

Yahoo! Games Team is it hard to program this ? i don’t think so :)

So what do you think ?
