A New Pool game...? Yes... Look inside...

Thank you for the clarification, Jack.

I naturally couldn’t commit to buying a set without seeing the balls or knowing the price, sir. How does one fill in that box?
 
As explained thus far, one cannot help feel a little concerned that paying the pound for information also constitutes a commitment to purchase something blind at a later date.

I’m sure that cannot be the case, of course, but that’s how it might appear.

and then in round two the three ball groups suddenly transform into

-precious gemstones
-metals
-flowers

and the pockets then represent the six different continents

the scoring would follow the same rules

so, sinking an emerald into australia
would be worth twice the points of a rose into europe or iron into africa

and it’s call shot-
if you try to make a combination of the gold ball to the diamond ball into asia but you make it in antarctica, that’s a foul and loss of turn and the ball spots


———-
advanced stage for the professionals

where the ball groups are divided as
-grains and herbs
-vegetables and nuts
-meats and oil

and the pockets aligned with a style of cooking
fry
baked
roasted
boiled
sautee
steam

Enjoying your weekend I see. That does remind me, I need to grab some more potatoes tomorrow for the roast.
 
It is rather confusing, Jack, but that is where feedback from platforms such as AZB can be so valuable to entrepreneurs.

Surely it would be beneficial to your cause to make things a little less complicated, sir?

No, there is no actual commitment. Reservation funnels help businesses who crowdfund or seek investment. If someone commits to £1, it oddly increases the likelihood of ordering or pledging what they state by up to 30 times.

It's basically a marketing strategy.

No details are stored that means we could take amounts later. Doesn't work like that.

So long as you reserve with your £1 by the day before our Kickstarter project goes live, you will receive an additional gift plus other perks.

If you do have concerns later about that, we can talk about it, no problem. If you feel you would rather ping across £1 by Paypal or something nearer the time, I am sure we can work it out and you remind us to send it back later.

Before we start taking any reservations, you will see the designs, you will see the name, the concept, everything, fear not my friend!

Read the reply above which covers what has been mentioned in previous replies you and others may have missed.

The reservations won't open until the reveal with all the info being displayed on our website.

You won't be reserving with £1 without knowing what it is, the design, concept, price etc.

Hopefully you will support us, if not, know someone who may!

It's almost like going on booking.com, reserving your hotel room at a discount rate and deciding later to cancel and being refunded by a certain date.

If that makes sense?

Funds are held and released if no longer wanted.

We will release all regardless once the kickstarter finishes.

There are simpler ways, just by taking details and no payment, adding you to a mailing list. But it has been proven that just £1 increases likely orders by more than 10x that of just signing up to a mailing list for updates and VIP rewards.

We are working with someone who makes a living from assisting with crowdfunding projects since 2017 and turns over 6 figures, so we will trust him.

We have also researched it ourselves.

Think of it as a membership card. Entitles you to discounts. Pay x amount to get 10% off when you shop.

Personally, I don't understand how anyone could spend even a sterling on this. The longer it goes on, the more it seems like BS. There are no details given. You say that 21/27 clubs have signed up for eleventy-ten sets of balls, but that is an unsubstantiated claim. You have offered no path for legitimate room owners to sign your precious NDA and get details. You haven't even had a corroborating account come on to say that he has seen the product (hoax?) and it is the best thing since Mr. Ferris' wheel and Mr. Graham's crackers.

But what does it matter? It ain't made for backwoods twats from Montana.

It's ok not to understand, but allow me to help you try.

Basically, if we don't announce it today, it's rubbish and nonsense, is that correct?

There are no details given, absolutely correct. At the same time, we haven't launched the website yet, nor the balls, concept, pricing, reservation funnel or socials yet because we have paperwork to complete between various parties.

Unsubstantiated perhaps, but it isn't as if every business announces publicly all those who have expressed an interest in their product they are planning to launch.

Why would we need room owners at this point to need to sign and NDA for anything? We offered this to anyone who is part of AZB to verify that it isn't nonsense, so that we can continue to keep all of you here up to date as and when we have something to update you with.

Why would we need to have someone come here to say "it's a genuine project". We are a few weeks away from revealing.

Are you usually this impatient?

Absolutely, they are not for the people of Montana, sorry. They are for any individual or club anywhere in the world. That includes those in Montana. My point was that we didn't specicially think "What do the pool players of Montana really need?" and work to ensure that they are the main reason for what we have developed. We haven't and won't exclude Montana, it seems you're telling us not to bother approaching anyone based there and that you speak for all that reside there.

Just because you feel that a set and concept you know nothing about yet isn't going to work or be welcomed in your state, that isn't going to make us have a rethink based on one person's opinion in that state who has decided they won't buy based on a belief it is nonsense.

I hope you have a better understanding now.

You are the one who claimed that clubs had signed NDAs and had seen the concept.

I knew what you meant when you said that it wasn't made for Montana, I'm not stupid. Your phrasing was stupid.

Scams come around all the time. Pay me a small amount and you can be first in line. Sometimes the line is to nowhere.

Yes, and that is correct. 27 signed, we discussed, 21 have in writing agreed to purchase 112 between them.

If you knew what I meant, why imply we said they aren't for those in Montana?

Scams do come around all the time, you're absolutely right.

But tell us where at any point we have stated that anyone is to pay us something to get in line. That is my challenge for you today. You won't find anything.
 
with what all you are proposing and the posts you make tells me that you are not a good business person so your en devour will fail whether it is worthwhile or not.

its like you are playing a silly child's game thinking it will generate money for you. only it has generated many posts laughing at your proposals.

you should not be here on this forum in the first place. but glad you are exposing yourself to your lack of marketing abilities

Thank you for your input, Maha.

We shall now give up and postpone plans, cancel the reveal and rip up all paperwork.

Should have come here sooner to save all the time gone into this so far.

We live and learn.
 
no, you should develop your game and market it and not try to convince others to give you money, and not know where it goes, and you use their money to pay for your risk.

i hope what you do works and is good for pool, but not likely to ever get off the ground, just not how you go about raising money.
