Quoted from Nevus:To clarify, it is okay to use the switch under the cabinet if your opponent is really playing well?
Yes, but you have to make it look like an accident. Like if your boner accidentally bumped it or something.

To all players planning to play in the upcoming LA state championship, don't count on being able to shake and shove the machines around a bunch. Machine tilt settings may bite back.
To all North LA players in the tournament, although it is not clearly stated on IFPA website, all tournament games will be played with the playfield glass ON.

Based on Mudflaps statement in the post above yours, I think we need to make him wear a cup too.

I’m out then

"playen pinball is hard"
Quoted from TigerLaw:February 6th weekly league event for Lake Charles will be speed location. 5:30pm start time. Four machines will be in play: high deal, AC/DC, Tron LE, Avengers LE. If a machine goes down XMen LE is substitute game.
After play testing the games tonight with Speed we will use LOTR instead of Avengers LE for the league (the hulk drop targets are bit tempormental, though Thor drops are now working oddly).
By the way, we’d like to move the WOZ from speed’s office to his house (not upstairs, it will go inside the house downstairs in what was his office area) and need a hand. Any volunteers (we have a penguin dolly)? If we can get it moved in time we may make it playable in both the league night and tourney event.
Per the 3 or 4 Louisiana pinball tournaments listed on Pinside Events Calendar for Jan/Feb, it appears not many Pinsiders are planning to attend and play in them (LA SCS, Smaug's Revenge, Fri Night Special, & RRR3).
What's it gonna take to get you guys/gals to show up?
Do you want to add in some football kicking competitions out in the back yard, with t-shirts for prizes?

PavBall and I will be at all three.
It just hit me that we hav (3) sets of father - son/daughter players that will be competing in this year's LA State Pinball Championship:
Arcade & Preston
KingNine & Kelly
Nevus & Henry
...and we have (1) married couple of players in the top 16: TigerLaw & PavBall
Just finished live streaming Doctor Who.
Went very well. Had lots of viewers and chat going on tonight.
We also managed to all make the high score board and knock off all your scores Tiger.
So you may have to reset them when you get the game back.
I even managed to get 2 sonic booms on my last game. Had a blast and learned a lot about this game.

Alas, the failed CPU board we had to replace had knocked off all my scores. The two scores that were on it were from the two games I play tested it the night before y’all picked it up.

That makes a lot more sense.
No idea you had a failed cpu board.
Anyway the game did very well. Held up to two straight hours of hard game play.

Good!!! Were you guys able to replace the transistor that had the (rather unusual) row of lights out? Sorry I couldn’t watch the stream tonight, had to drive through a lot of bad weather and come to NOLA tonight.

Did not have time to replace it yet but thanks to Jody I now know that it is # 85 so it will be fixed soon.
Happened to see my operator friends today (saw his truck at his warehouse), if anybody is looking for any arcade games he is ready to sell all or individual games, he actually asked me if I wanted to buy out his route. Sorry he has no pinball…
Quoted from Zukboy2002:6 more days
We are ready for Saturday everyone ready for tomorrow?
Meh, everyone around these parts gets all amped up but I'll believe it if it happens. Boss would still expect us to come to work though.
I sure could use the time to finish fine tune my SBM however
Thanks Jodester for getting the machines ready for tournament day.
As of now, the weather forecast for Sat for Lake Charles seems ok.
Temperatures will be nice, and partly sunny in daytime, but could be windy.
Rain is 50% chance of 1/100th of an inch in the daytime, and 55% chance of 2/100ths of an inch at night.
Looking forward to battling Smaug in the side tourney.
Complete and total Armageddon here in North LA.
Schools closed
Air Force closed (Yes the United States Air Force is closed).
Interstate 20 is closed.
According to Henry “It’s enough snow to make a pretty good footprint”. My wife was back and forth to the hospital several times in the night and says “The roads are fine, uggghhh!”
It’s a great day for Pinball!

Well at least snow won't be on the menu for Saturday. We will probably get some sleet later today.
Quoted from Nevus:Air Force closed (Yes the United States Air Force is closed).
The Air Force is like 7/11. We never close.
Quoted from epichoff:Does anyone know where I can get a nice Home use only avengers pro or premium?
I know somebody locally with an LE. Not sure if they want to part with it though.

Hello Barksdale AFB, can I speak to Mr Flaps its important, its about Pinball. We are sorry the Air Force is closed today.
You two in joy your snow day (that is if Mr Flaps is not on the essential personnel list and had to go in)

I am about as non-essential as it gets.

Looking good for Saturday
I was just thinkin that since Mudflaps is now into being a part-time weather forecaster,
I vote for changing his online Pinside name to be: FloodMaps
Quoted from TigerLaw:Oooohhh, a nerd meme war before the big tourney!
Yes TigerLaw, there's a good chance you could finish in the top 15.

A great day of Pinball for sure. Congratulations to Preston Moncla, simply awesome playing. Congratulations to Jody as well on the Smaug trophy.
A few personal highlights for me.
Spending the day with a group of people I now consider good friends and have warm regards for that I would never have known without Pinball and this Pinside community.
Seeing my youngest son play well and sharing those moments with him. (His anger is like Star Wars. Imagine his mother is Anakin Skywalker. )
After a long day of being soundly beaten by the best the LA IFPA has to offer, putting up a GC on The Walking Dead. It was no record breaker, but it sure made me feel like a king for just a few minutes.
Here are a few pics. My favorite is Henry trying to will the Precious into his hands. He’s got serious Preston envy!

I still need to mail a check in to IFPA.
Quoted from Nevus:Does carrying a Shadow up some stairs count?
Absolutely! Post some pics!
