A sad day for pinball...
Yesterday's win by Karl DeAngelo was a perfect example of Douchebagness. The tournament was completely rigged: loaded die, pins unmodified for tournament play, second rate trophies he probably bought at the dollar store, and we even found him using a detiltenator hiding in his pocket.
It was clearly Karl's intention to not only abuse the WPPR system and hog those coveted points, but to also cheat honest pinball players for a huge profit.
What is wrong with you Karl? Can't you sometimes contribute to our community instead of just taking? I mean, why do you constantly refuse to work on tools that can help our tournaments run smoother? And why do you always keep your pins in such poor state (kinda like TBgolfen...though he can't help it, the poor guy)
It is sad, but I hope that this post would help identify the culprits responsible for the 'ugly side of pinball'.
If you ever see Karl at any function, please tell him:"Shame on you, Karl...shame on you!". Hopefully if he hears it from enough people, he may turn around and become a true pinhead.
On a positive note, pinball's favorite B division player, Johnny Modica, was able to come in 3rd. Always humble and very low key, Johnny showed his above par skills in the final games Arena and Flash Gordon (his personal favorite); while Jay, (aka Mr. goofball-always-want-to-be-the-center-of-attention), got 2nd place...which is really 1st considering the tourney was rigged. Congrats to both!
