Quoted from Maken:Fair enough. He asked about Stern games, but in a LOTR thread. I felt your answer could be interpreted incorrectly, and wanted to make sure that people don't take it as the proper method, which it is not. Damien likes his games to be set up factory, and knowing the proper method will help him.
My passion for this issue is related to the number of times I have been forced to use misaligned flipper bats in competition. Just this past weekend at a local IFPA event, a Fish Tales was aligned like a Stern, and it ruined gameplay.
I appreciate you both chiming in on this. No need for anyone to get upset. We are all in it for fun.
I definitely like my games to play as they were designed and intended. I know with my attack from Mars I tried to change the droopy flippers to align with the outlane and I really did not like it.
I guess it all depends on how you like to play your games, no exact right or wrong answers here. I personally like factory everything, right down to the mods (I don't care much for mods).
but these are my games and I can do what I want with them. And everyone is entitled to the same luxury.
Play pinball, have fun!
