Quoted from thall17:starting 4 player games, leaving in the middle of a game, etc etc
I had a bunch of guests over last night for the Superbowl, all grown ups. At one point I took a head count and everyone was down stairs watching the game right after kickoff, yet I could vaguely hear TWD music. I have that music on my phone as a ring tone, so after checking for missed calls a couple of times I figured I should check out the pin. Sure enough, I found several pins with balls ready to launch about two-thirds of the way through a two or three player game. People without any real exposure to pinball think the games will automatically shut off. They almost always start multiple player games too, which I think confuses them more on game rules and scoring, and also tends to cut the fun factor down a bit. I'm used to it now though so after each event I go through the sequence of clearing the pins, and also finding the inevitable stuck ball which never seems to happen when I play alone. Still, it's worth it just for the fun of sharing the hobby.
