My idea to kill yahoo pool aimers

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

I don’t care to play with aimers cause they suck but i am sick of accusing by using aimer by the players that they have no idea what is an aimer can do or do not (this is another blog post subject)

I decide to write this post after a loser accused me using an aimer and it do not allow him to pot their balls DUH!

There are some aimer software around makes the same job i am not sure but some of them might be copy of another brand so a Yahoo! games team member will determine all this shit aimer software around and will follow everyday if they have an update.Yahoo! game team will prepare a scanner which knows all the files aimers install the losers system.

You know when we install a software on to our computers it shows us their terms and ask us if we agree so if we agree it allow us to install and use it.

Well Yahoo! will ask us every time we login to a Yahoo! Pool room if we agree their software will scan our computers and decide , label us when we login to rooms.

Yahoo! gave All star members the option with a blue star their name so they can reward players who agreed to scanned their computers before entering a room like umm showing their names with green letters and may be a green star .You can show aimers names as red color and may be do not allow them to login to any room.

If this is possible software side by Yahoo! think about it, when you take a look at the players list at the room you will know who has an aimer . By the time people will stop to use aimers and we will back the good old days.

My basic idea about yahoo pool rating system

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

We have some breaking points at Yahoo! Pool rating system so you will become a

Purple box when you reach 1500 rating, orange box when you reach 1800 rating, red box when you reach 2100 rating. If you are an advanced player you know it is hard sometimes to find a high rating player with matches your rating so you need to walk around rooms and it may be boring.

Another thing is we saw many provious or 1200-1300 rating players in our intermediate and advanced rooms asking (begging) only for game. Most players will not play them cause their ratings do not match and many of them boot this low rate players from their tables just after they sit.

Ok ok here my idea If a player has a

1200-1499 rating they shouldn’t enter to beginner rooms
1500-1799 rating they shouldn’t enter to Intermediate rooms
below 2100 rating shouldn’t enter to Advanced rooms

So everyone easily find opponents with the same rating and intermediate and advanced rooms will not show full by this low rating players when you want to login. This is also good for international players which it may hard to find opponents cause different time zones.

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.

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 ?

What i think about Yahoo! Pool Boosters

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Well first of all it is sure that boosting is a way of cheating but harmless one rather than other cheating formats (crime is a crime no matter what you steal a bread or a car it is still called crime).

I don’t have problems with playing Yahoo! Pool boosters.
It is funny when you gave them their first lose at their stats/profiles.
I never respect them like many others.
It is no fun and boring to play with them, instead i prefer to play with 1200-1300 rate players cause they try to beat me really hard to improve their rating.

I sometimes see at Yahoo! Pool lobbies a boosted comes and says “hey see my rating” with thinking he is cool, i feel pity about them, it may be impress you but he/she is a useless cheater person in my eyes with no talent.

So what do you think about Yahoo! Pool boosters ?
