    • ... just another form of nudging. Just because the legs move a bit across the floor doesn't make a difference - I'll just move it back a bit after I drain and all is good. 179 votes

    Absurd that 35% of Pinside answered this incorrectly.

    Quoted from mtkinf:

    Your handle is "TheLaw" but you don't think a reference pertaining to crime and punishment is valid? Okay.
    You want a sporting event. If a foul is committed but the referee/umpire does not see it, is it still a foul?
    C'mon. That's a far better analogy than a cargument.

    it's not a foul unless the tilt bob says it's a foul.

    i'm dumbfounded there are so many people who incorrectly believe nudging is somehow cheating.

    Quoted from mtkinf:

    Then please quote someone who said that nudging is cheating. I said that the machine "slid an inch or two". That is not not the same as nudging. Thanks.

    i can't disagree any more strongly with your wrong, incorrect opinion.

    i already made my point, which is you are objectively wrong.

    Quoted from Pinballlew:

    How would it be ruled at say PAPA?

    It's perfectly fine. If you tilt, you tilt.

    Only exception would be if you bumped into another player / game hard enough to disrupt them, or if the game had rubber footies and you moved the game off of them (which is a separate rule). But sliding itself is legal.

    So unbelievably wrong. Show me one high level player who doesn't nudge. There aren't any. Zero.

    Quoted from flynnibus:

    *snort*
    It's as if you've kept your eyes closed.. Why do you think there are posts with rubber with these inlane gates?? To protect the ball or something?

    also, there are games (WOZ is one) that actually award +1 Tilt Warning as a mystery award -- thus ENCOURAGING you to nudge to the point of receiving warnings.

    plus both of WOZ's outlanes are intentionally nudge games.
