Most of the flippers do need a eebuild. I can respect your making the game more difficult, but when the flipper doesn't have enough power to get it up the ramp, something's up. There were quite a few games like that, and flippers seriously mid-aligned, not angle slightly changed. All on all, I did have fun, other than TheLaw and his partner kicking our butt in the Brawl. That match was by fary worst playing.
I did get a very nice back glass, for being one of the top 3 people to drive the farthest (700 miles one way).
I will be there tomorrow, getting in some more pinball, before the 14 plus hour trip back home.
Blakesell, it was nice to meet you and your girlfriend. I did have a great time. I had fun. Lots of great games there. One thing I did get from the show:
I forgot how fun EM machines are. There was a good selection of EM machines.
By the way, if anyone cares, the back glass I won was a fully restored Solar Fire. Beautiful looking BG. It will be framed, and put on display.
Great show. I would have brought a game, but when you travel 1400 miles round trip, driving a truck that gets 15 mpg is not an option.
Ironspider, I have no hard feelings, that was an awesome game. Congrats. You should have been in a higher division, but like you said, we were placed in the division. I do have bad feelings about how bad I sucked that match. I was playing well up to that point. Congrats on the win.
I'm home, if anyone cares. It was a great time. Had fun playing the pins. I loved a lot of the EM's there. My total mileage for the trip was 1405.7 miles. it was a good drive out, but rained on me 95% of the way home. Now I'll go to bed, and dream of the games I played there, and work on my skills, for a year, if I want a chance against TheLaw & IronSpider next year. Those guys can play!
Great event Expo people, my team will be back next year, and we'll be bringing backup. Who knows, my TFTC might just have to come with me!!
