Quoted from unigroove:Stern Pinball, while being the largest manufacturer, only won in two categories with two different games.
The games are only eligible for voting if they're released in 2017. Stern's 2017 games probably won't be finished until later in 2018 or (likely) beyond. That's how they run their business, unfortunately.
I love playing Stern games, but it's on them for releasing them with poor code. Congrats to JJP and TNA for producing quality and complete games! They've earned the awards.
Quoted from Darscot:I also thought it was interesting Stern won those two, they hired a great artist and they paid for a great license.
One thing's for sure, Stern has the artists and the themes.
Quoted from Whysnow:I voted a bunch of times myself, just because...
So, things need to change to keep cheaters like you from messing with the vote totals?
Why even do that?
Quoted from Whysnow:To make a point that the system is flawed.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Your parents should’ve taught you that.

Quoted from pin2d:So I shipped the TWIPY Awards out this evening. There were six or seven different boxes, all had the address and the name of the awards (which needed to be typed in by FedEx). The conversation with the young woman working the FedEx went something like this:
Her: "These are all going to different places?"
Me: "Yep."
Her, looking at the first label: "Do you want me to put Spooky and "TNA" on the label or just Scott Danesi?"
Me: "Just Scott is fine."
...next box...
Her: "Pin Stadium Lights?"
Me: "Yep."
Her: "What are you shipping? Just curious..."
Me: "It's nothing and it would sound crazy."
Her: "Well now I really want to know!"
Me: "Um, pinball awards."
Her: <staring>
Me: "Yeah."
(now we are both starting to laugh a bit and it just got worse)
Her: "I didn't know those were a thing, but that is cool."
Me, thinking she was mildly interested: "It actually was pretty cool, they're called the TWIPYs, and we had a live awards show and everything!"
Her: "Like with a bunch of high schoolers at an arcade?"
Me: "Um, no, it was an awards show online."
Her: "Really."
Me: "Yes...they're very prestigious."
...next box...
Me, checking the label: "Actually, it isn't Jack Dagger, it is Jack Danger."
Her, sarcastic: "Oh, sorry."
Me: "He's a pinball celebrity."
Her: "mmmhhmmmm."
...next box...
Her: "And this label says Stern, Aerosmith and Star Wars, are those names of the games?"
Me: "Yeah"
Her: "I played pinball once, I wasn't very good. Well I should say I wasn't very lucky, it was all luck. Who should I make this one out to?"
Me: "Zach Sharpe."
Her: "And he made these machines?"
Me: "No. He's...never mind. But he is the number one ranked pinball player in the world."
Her, dumbfounded: "I didn't know that was a thing. So he's ranked number one? Since pinball is almost all luck, he must be REALLY lucky!"
Me: (thinking of how ironic it is that she is saying someone in the Sharpe family is "just lucky" to be an elite pinball player)
...next box...
Her: "Favorite podcast? There are podcasts about pinball???"
Me: "Yes, a lot of them."
Her: (eyes wide in disbelief)
...next box...
Her: "And who is the big box going to?"
Me: "Jersey Jack Pinball."
Her: "These boxes all have pinball trophies?"
Me: "Yep. The TWIPYs."
Her, a little sarcastically: "Well we'll make sure they're VERY safe and everyone gets their prestigious awards."
Me: "Thank you. And play more pinball!"
I assume she gave you her number without asking, right?
3 months later
The last 30 minutes of the Slam Tilt podcast says a lot about what actually happened here.
So, in one week, he: made a Facebook account impersonating a Pinside member, pushed his fiancé in public, disrupted a pinball tournament, pushed and threw a drink in someone's face, and then half-way apologized for it. He then was acting like he's treated unfairly and is the victim.
Not only should he be blacklisted from Pinside, Stern, and other forums, he should be blacklisted from the TWIPY vote next year.
