Well after picking up GOT on Saturday.
Waxed playfield.
Replaced Balls.
Put custom apron cards on game.
Plastic protector on slings.
Installed B/W leg brackets.
Grass hasn't been cut.
Stopped working on 12x20 shed.
Haven't been online to pay bills.
Eat standing up. (Snacks)
Haven't made bed.
I did finally get high score, just not a billion, yet!

This is what I used, by beatmaster https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/game-of-thrones-free-play-and-instructions-cards#post-2833647
When I printed them I scaled them larger than normal. Think it was 6.27 X 3.55 . Used rubber cement to secure. Here's some pics with glass off.

You only need to put a dab of glue near each corner and one in tge center. That way when you press down it doesn't come out from under card. No clean up required.
Quoted from capguntrooper:Not really needed when printing at such a small size, they come out fine at under 300KB[quoted image]
Great minds think alike. Lol
Quoted from nerbflong:New topper! Just have to build a taller game room I guess. Hmm.[quoted image]
Raise the roof or put in a moon roof like my truck has.

What is the best way to get my spinner to spin more freely. I can only get between 7500-10,000 a rip. At the most I seen one time it hit 13,000. I'll have to go back a look at chuckwurt walk-thru, but I believe he was ripping it at 30,000 plus. Sorry if you thought I was posting apron cards.
Quoted from swampfire:So, anybody play their GOT Pre/LE lately? I’ve been away from mine for 5 weeks, and now I’m coming back to it like an old lover.
I've only have mine since Sept 22, so yes played 5 games today. Going on trip so I'll be away a few days. I'll be looking for new high score when I get back and add oil to spinner. Lol 
Mikonos,
Custom Rule Cards (Post 'em here!)

Thanks
I like the light show. But loose sight of the ball when playfield goes totally dark doing HOTK and end up draining early.
Quoted from Luckydogg420:Castle multiball and iron throne are the two things I haven’t accomplished yet. I imagine if I focus on castle multiball I could get it.
Ditto, for me. I still working on getting HOTK constantly and have not concentrated on going for Castle MB at all. I believe because I heard it wasn't worth it. But and big YES as far as Dwight Sullivan doing a revisit.
Quoted from chuckwurt:What would prem and le owners like to see if Dwight gets time to revisit this one?
Outside of updates to video for later season happenings. That ain’t gonna happen. Haha
How about getting "Team Play" working. Would be great having Players 1&3 against Players 2&4. Or all player working together to get to Iron Throne.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Riiiiiiiip!!!!

Just a half of a drop on the arms of the spinner and blot with a rag for any excess.
Just finally put oil on spinner today and only had time to play one game. I could see a difference. I'll see new high scores coming soon. Been moving pins to new bigger room. My pitch is at 7.2° is this to much, sometime it was hard to get up right ramp, only one game played at new location. Think my old location was 6.8°

Quoted from atum:What has everyone done, and how are your shooter lanes holding up?
Thanks!
Don't follow my advice, I play the $%&# out of it and try not to look at shooter lane. But I do wax every other month and replace balls when needed. My shooter lane is abused with battle wounds.

Quoted from atum:Yeah the entire game works as expected. Holds for multiball, releases correctly and everything, just no sword action. I have checked through all the settings (general and GoT specific) and cannot seem to find anything about enabling or disabling that feature.
I just played a couple game and my LE is doing the exact same thing as you posted above. Time to go in setting and look under the hood.
Quoted from RedPlunger:Just joined the club and the rabbit hole that is pinball. Borat high five
[quoted image]
What LE # do you have? Rabbit hole indeed. I went from 5 EM's. To 15 total after buying my first Stern just 14 months ago. Enjoy the game with the "Boys".

Quoted from chuckwurt:Who’s ready for new code?!? I sure as shit am. Haha
Blackwater multiball for anyone not ready!
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Erik, I'm guessing this had something to do with you trading from Pro to Premium?
I'm guessing chuckwurt was saying, Dwight don't announce code update until I can get my flipper fingers
on a Premium.
Quoted from chuckwurt:I’ve been wanting to swap for a premium bad lately. This code update was just a coincidence.
About a year, I believe.
Quoted from beeker3000:You can make everyone to play the same House of your choosing via game settings. Or force random House selection.
You can make all play same house or play random house's.

Just updated code on my LE. Played a few game, better eat dinner before playing anymore or I'll go to bed hungry. I may be up for sometime tonight.

but I was fully clothed. 
Quoted from VolunteerPin:I have a nice Pro but played a Premium recently for a few games and really liked it.
any thought if upgrading is worth it? I know some like the pro better but especially with new codes wonder if that really tips scales for the Prem/LE
Thanks,
Darin
I've only played a premium and now own an LE.
chuckwurt owned a pro for a couple year I believe and just upgraded to a premium. He'll let you know soon, I'm sure.

PS. Nice collection. How you liken the ACNC. I have that in my mind to buy, soon I hope.

Quoted from VolunteerPin:Done. Just picked up an LE today. Still in my Yukon so no photos but looks great. Very stoked.
Also today just sold my pro to a Pinsider who from up from Birmingham. One day for the complete change out. Not bad. Lol, I left my house at 5:15 am to go get my LE in order to be home from Nashville in time for my buyer.
That's what I call going to extra mile. "Winter is Coming"
You are now the Hand of the King!

Sure is, just played it today. My grandson girlfriend play it the other day. She got 34 million and was feeling great. I played a game to show her what to shoot for. On my 1st ball I had 1.4 Billion she could believe it. Next 2 balls and the extra were drainers. No high score for me. Baratheon my house of choice for now.

Quoted from Antron77:Doesnt look like this club is very active but I just became a member. Got my LE from a fellow pinsider yesterday. My first PIN was the Star Wars premium about 6 months ago. This game had alot of similarities which I love about it. Cant wait to progress further in the game!
I'm to busy playing mine to post. Hell just played 4 game before I head to work. I too love this game, It's a keeper for sure. Enjoy this jewel.
The castle rules are now worth keeping ball on upper playfield.
Plus if your in a battle with a house(s) and can hit all three targets the then the left loop to complete castle you'll complete the houses your battling.
Quoted from atum:I could get to Iron Throne over 50% of the time, which makes it less exciting to get there!
Sounds like you need to put it on two balls. Myself, I sux and need to put it on five balls but I don't.
Quoted from atum:I just play the hell out of this game and have gotten really good after over a thousand games. I don't have the outlane posts in at all (they were originally in the highest slot where the LE shipped), and have everything else factory recommended settings and pitch. I do still have extra balls turned on, which helps get there sometimes. But I have beat IT and looped back through and beat four more houses with one ball with my current setup.
All you have to do with the upper playfield is know the angles and nudges to make every shot three times, then get really good at cradling on the right flipper coming out of the sword lock at mode start (or short plunge after a ball lock) and backhanding Stark. Once you get to the upper playfield, and now how to do it, you can complete the house pretty easily. Then out the back of the upper playfield to the left flipper, cradle and Lannister to start the next two modes, rinse and repeat.
Please stream video, I want to see Iron Throne. I played today, 8 game and got to Hand of the King once.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Then hold up the flipper and let it bounce off the tip. I do that on mine and it’s pretty safe.
That's the same thing I was just doing 20 mins ago. Hold Flipper Up.
Just cleaned mine Monday. 244 game. Replaced balls too. Thats 718 game sense new code and Three (3) cleaning. I think when I hit 1000 plays I'll remove upper playfield and clean that again too.
Last time I removed upper playfield and cleaned I sure thought it wouldn't be needing to be cleaned as much because It was filthy. Man I was wrong, every time I think it needs cleaning I look at audit and 240-250 game sence last cleaning.
I downloaded manual trying to find something for the last hour, with no luck. Maybe check under lower playfield. (Connector). I do know I like Sam's over Spike.
Quoted from JOESCHALL:Having a problem with my GOT. After each ball launch as the ball enters the upper PF all the flippers die briefly, then they die again after the ball exits the upper PF as soon as it reaches the inlane switch. They die briefly during game play otherwise as well but at these two times they ALWAYS die.
Checked the integrity of all connectors with no luck and ran a diagnostics test of all node boards with no error messages.
I do get a tech alert to check the tilt pendulum switch, but the tilt works just fine and I assume this message is unrelated. Bad assumption?
Any ideas are welcome. I'm really stumped.
I was trying today on my pin to see what the left return lane and the other switch has in common. Only thing that I think it could be is the Gound or CN15. Wished I could say for sure. My focus would be on CN15.
Quoted from JOESCHALL:Thanks so much. I'll take a look. I did a code update and checked all connectors and wires again, but still no change.
Check
Node #9
14 pin CN15 and
Node #10
14 pin CN15
Pull out and reinstall
Quoted from JOESCHALL:Thanks so much. I'll take a look. I did a code update and checked all connectors and wires again, but still no change.
Is it both flipper (top, bottom) that go dead? They are powered by NODE#8
Left Flipper CN5, Right CN8
Upper Left CN10, Right CN12.
Hang in there someone with knowledge will chime in soon.
Quoted from JOESCHALL:Yes, all four flippers die simultaneously.
NODE #8, CN4 is the power in, it powers switches and all flippers. Make sure that connections good and tight.
Quoted from pcprogrammer:Thinking about selling my Metallica Pro and getting a GOT Premium. Any thoughts on those that have owned both? Can't afford 2 Stern pins right now, but could afford to sell Met + some cash to get a GOT.
I own both now. GOT around 18 months and MET at 12 months. I really like both but GOT seems to be my go to pin at 7 to 1.

I've been trying to light all houses, before going into battle with any. But have not put a timer on it. So with your Hand of the King run, Spoiler Alert:
Tyrell is a no go. 
Quoted from LOTR_breath:With the idea of JP and Escape Nublar speed runs, I decided to try my own GOT premium version. What's the fastest time you can start Hand of the King? With the new rules there are several ways to attack this. Let me say, it can get very frustrating. Factory settings. My best time so far has been 2:48. Give it a try, just use the stopwatch on your phone.
Hint: Locks are your enemy!
That's a go time, I'm sure.

Just cleaned playfield again, 295 games in about 30 days. This game is just to addicting.

Looks like my game when I removed mine. It gets super dirty. I'll say every 1200-1500 games from what I've seen.
Quoted from Spiderpin:Looks like my game when I removed mine. It gets super dirty. I'll say every 1200-1500 games from what I've seen.
Just to be clear.... Clean playfield after every 250-300 games. Remove upper playfield and clean after 1200-1500 games. If you just clean the playfield and after 50-100 plays start seeing ball tracks. It's most likely coming from under upper playfield.

Unbelievable after getting Iron Throne last week. The 1st game I played in after giving it a rest I got my 2nd Iron Throne, Back to Back but a week apart. I replaced battery and played two rookie games. Lol

Upper Flipper's were sticking and needed coil sleeves and stops. With Upper playfield off you gotta show some love under it. This is probably the 3rd time and maybe the 4th that I've cleaned it. But hey it's raining, so after getting it back together I believe a good pour of Blanton's is in order.

Quoted from chuckwurt:Bend the flap more until you get it nice and flat.
Once you bend the flap as chuckwurt said, Then add a little Zoom-Spout Lubricating Oil to the gate.
I've gotten to Iron Throne a few time. But no one else plays it at my house, or anyone that comes over. For that reason I wished it had a team and or Co-op setting.
I've too though of selling, but just love this game to much.

Who made that or where do you get it. Look 1000 X better than what I did.

Quoted from chuckwurt:No problem! I use it a lot too actually.
It no doubt got me to Iron Throne a hand full of times. Before watching I didn't even get to Hand of the King. Playfield validation was the key to take my game to another level. Now when I play 99% of the time 1.5 Billion is a bad game.
Happy New Years to all pinball owner and players.
Quoted from atum:This is a game that if you know the rules and the best path to get where you are going, and have good pinball skills, you can pretty regularly get to Iron Throne. If your only goal is to get to Iron Throne, just use the upper playfield to complete every mode. It takes a lot of scoring away, and some fun. It becomes repetitive: make three shots to qualify two modes, start modes, get to upper playfield to complete them. But if you avoid that (or change settings to not complete), then its a bit more rewarding to get there, but not almost guaranteed with good play.
I mostly use upper playfield to add time when I'm battling house(s). I don't try to kill off any house(s) from upper playfield. I don't get castle MB that often either, unless I see that I've progressed thru it by accident. I noticed this is your only game and have owned no other. I would guessed that you are setting on top of the " Iron Throne". I'm still at, What do we say to the code of death? LOL Honing my skills.
Congratulations on mastering this masterpiece.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Doing the upper playfield to collect castle bonuses for beating houses up there can be massive. Remember. The playfield x up there is multiplied by the playfield x on the main playfield so 15x collects are possible up there. Free.
Yes, I do go for the 2X and 3X. Upper PF.
But yes I see what your saying for a upper playfield 3X and lower playfield 5X. Big payday.
This is one reason I love this game. All kinds of ways to score and big if your trailing someone.
Thanks chuckwurt
