I own a METLE. So of course I voted MET, BUT this poll got me going, as a first time pin buyer, what does a designer do? What is his job? What makes Borg, well Borg? Lawlor, jpop, jpooop (Ok dont answer that, we all know lol )

Are they like a project manager? Do they work out the angles of the shots and let others figure out the toys? Give a general mode and rules insight and let Lyman achieve it? Do they personally oversee the art and pick the artist?

So what does a pinball designer do?

BTW MET LE #199 here!

I've only played a few games of TWD, and it was SDTM city. The owner of the comic shop complained about it as well. I then complained to my buddy who routes the game and he went to check it out and made some adjustments. I haven't played it since, but I believe setup is important and that's why I didn't initially chime in. At the time, it killed any fun the game might have held.

Quoted from rai:

I don't think a ball save is necessary, this is the unpredictable aspect of pinball that makes it so fun/frustrating as we've seen people actually complain when a pin has too long of ball times, I like the brutal nature of TWD.

This was the prison magnet and I think it didnt go SDTM maybe 10 percent. I was trying to not hit the shot at all, cause I new the ball was a goner. I played 3 games, so yea thats not a lot, but it was enough to scare me off and call my friend about it.
