Who are some of these people who don't respect proper pinball etiquette? How many times did you come upon an abandoned game with the ball waiting in the shooter lane, have to wait in line behind someone playing a 4-player game by themselves, or be waiting to play a high-demand machine only to have the person at the high-demand machine next to it immediately switch to the one for which you're waiting once it's abandoned (since apparently being at the machines puts one first in line)? No idea how to improve such things other than via magical powers of some sort. Didn't have any such problems at the Lebowski or Automated Services machines...do people just get sneaky in low lighting?
Also, greatest pinball show ever. More crowded than last year. Was cool to see Steve Ritchie come down amongst the free-players and visit those playing his machines.
