You GD right I'm bitter. Anyone who thinks I'll let this issue go better think again. From being told by a JJP employee to "switch to decaf" after emailing my concerns, to the personal phone call I got from Jack himself offering an autographed piece of artwork or a gobstopper shooter rod (!!!) as a peace offering for my defective playfield, I'm none too pleased with how I was treated. I have a defective playfield. I asked to have the playfield replaced under warranty. They refused to replace it. Sending me a blank field in a box is not an acceptable solution.
Quoted from paynemic:Keefer is a good dude who does a lot for pinball. You went out on a limb with a prediction and were wrong. Just smile and move on. Don’t change topics and look small.
Yes he does. He's a great asset to the business. My post was not about making a prediction. Anyone who doesn't know that I was trolling with that post to see if I could get a JJP person to bite and commit to a date needs to take more lessons in nuance. I knew when I posted it that I would get the reaction that it did. Hence my response of "My plan worked perfectly" immediately after I teased out a response. Not to mention the fact I also received two PM's that same week, from JJP folks.
Yes, I was wrong. JJP released a pin and it made it into a customer's hands by the end of the year. I'll close this post with a piece of another one of my posts, from earlier in this thread:
Quoted from smalltownguy2:Other than that, it's pretty much, "Oh hey! You released a pin. And everyone knew it was coming. And it took you an eternity to do it."
