Quoted from LTG:

It can be impossible to meet people at shows. To meet someone who works for a manufacturer like American Pinball. Frequently check their booth. Staffed by many. And sooner or later the person you seek shall be there. You can also ask if they are there, and when they expect them.

Most of them are real. Might not be all there. But are real.
LTG : )

I don't know about all of them but @DanDanDan definitely drank some of my bourbon at Pincinnati so he's as real as they get! I was lucky enough to get a BTA sticker from Barry at the Cleveland show, everyone I've met at API are awesome to BS with. One of these days maybe I'll get to harass Balcer at a show too.

Quoted from Ferret:

Yes, I think that’s the concept as JJP has implemented it. IMHO my concerns with it: everyone needs to pay very close attention to what’s going on. After 3 balls complete for everyone, suddenly perhaps it’s player 2’s turn after player 4 (because P2 earned an EB but P1 didn’t) which breaks the established pattern “it’s my turn after Bob”.
Also, if you plan to play more than one game with your group, it does not actually save other players from having to wait to play, it just moves around the wait time.
If we receive a lot of requests for this behavior, we certainly would consider making it an option, but to my memory this was the first such request.

I set my WOZ up this way so that if my wife and I are playing and I pick up an EB or two when her game is over she can go ahead and play something else, take the dogs out, get a drink, etc. while I finish my game. It is true that it breaks the established cycle and you do need to really pay attention to whose turn it is but if you're in a competitive setting you really need to be doing that anyway.

Quoted from jaytrem:

Those are great, been using them for a while now.

Yep, especially on Houdini where the playfield is so close to the sides. I put a big warning sticker on the lockdown bar to remind me not to lift the PF without the protectors inserted first.

Quoted from Ferret:

Interesting comment, since all three of those are Joe Balcer designs.

And two of them are pinball_keefer coded / rule sets, can't remember what jokers did the code / rules for OKT.
