I've put up some decent numbers, but have yet to see Armageddon. Rulesheet, anyone?

You have to start (not finish) all modes. You can time out modes if you want, but seems pointless unless you are very close to Armagaddon. Your average Armageddon will net you around 250-350,000 points. By the time you are that far into the game, a solid mode performance comes close or exceeds that.
The real points orgy is Shockwave and if you aren't getting Armageddon you won't be getting that. You need all 8 SIM cards.

ummmm, it's called "showdown". pffft!
Few tips for getting to Armageddon.
- use Big Bang to complete modes. More specifically, if you have it lit before starting a mode, try to start a harder mode and use Big Bang to complete it in one shot. Flipper buttons (and pops) designate what mode will be played, much like ring modes in LOTR; look at what mode is lit on phone and use flippers to setup your mode start.
- also, be sure to bring a mode into mb. If you lock a ball to get mb ready and you're not in the mode, look at phone display, and cancel the multiball lit with double flipper tap. Then immediately after you start a mode, the multiball ready will light again so you can stack a mode with mb.
