You can get pissed all you want, but always show your opponent respect.

What happened dude?

yeah be cool man

Absolutely this. Nothing is more annoying and embarrassing when someone rage tilts and screams like a child after losing the ball.
I’m not talking the normal swearing/yelling.

There’s been guys that SCREAM, and pound the glass like an animal. To them it’s not about losing the ball either, it’s knowing they lost in that instant. Nobody wants to be around the crap!

I thought this was going to be like " Bring great snacks" or bring the host his/her favorite beer or weed strain, but yeah don't be a baby and don't trash the hosts games or smash your fist against the glass is legit too.

Simpler yet:
Don’t be a dick

I thought the answer was be on the spectrum?

I've never played pinball in a league, but I did play competitive darts at a high level for many years. The same sh*t happens there, too. Babies is the right word for it. The tradition in darts, win or loose, is you shake hands with your opponent and say "well played". If you need to sulk afterward, do it in a corner somewhere. Don't make a scene.

a degenerate hobby is gonna lack some level of social grace took me nearly two hundred tournaments to experience someone slam tilting (the game we were playing to win) in frustration after not winning it

Hah. Someone was offended I guess. My son is autistic and he’s a freakin madman pinball player. It’s the ability to grok all of the complexity of the rules and know exactly what is the best shot to go for at any given instant and hold all the game
States in the mind at once. Then there is the reflexes that just come from being a young lad. He could probably be a great but doesn’t like competition so he just puts up high scores everywhere and even the pinhead adults are like how the hell did he do that?

I was just speaking from experience. hahaha Not as far a tournaments go, but playing pinball all the time.
