Simuldraineous: The sudden draining of all of your balls during multiball without notice.

There is no explanation why this happens, other than the fact that it just sucks (all your balls away) when it does! (Aka: Runaway Drain, Multiball Vortex and Torrential Drains)

Sorry if this is a repost, just thought it was brilliant an so flippin true! Playing Getaway and just had all 3 go down, like a wedge going through my flippers. It was nuts. Not usually quite as dramatic, but this seems to happen quite a bit.

When playing cometively with my friends, and they are doing too well, I ask them "Do you smell Drano?"

Nothing like watching most of Apollo 13's balls funnel down the middle before it becomes playable again.

The one move in pinball that I'm actually good at.

This happened to me today, 3 balls down the left out lane at the same time like a train. I didn't know it had a name, up to this point I just called it bull$..... well you know...

The best part about striker xtreme's lay out is that there's 2 common spots for balls to get stuck on, in multi ball it's the best pin for parking a couple of balls for later.

My whirlwind seems to be plagued with draining on multi ball, can have an epic single ball score going then I hit multi ball and they all drain at once!

I always like the phrasing "multidrain" when it happens with multiball...
