Is Pinburgh a friendly style of competition or just intense and cut-throat?
i.e. do groups tend to share strategies and help each other out with rules or is the competition so still that everyone has their game face on the whole time?
Quoted from bkerins:My impression is that it's very friendly even among the top-tier players. Each player is different, of course, so there will be a few who want to keep their strategies to themselves.
Helping a player while they are on the machine is a no-no, however; this is coaching and can have a significant negative impact on other players.
A lot of the time I see the other 3 players watching together, talking to each other about what they see on the game. It's pretty cool.
Talking to other players between balls to discuss strategy is allowed, correct?
I assume you play 4 player games and not 4 single player games in a row?
Quoted from mot:Nothing is needed but common sense. Don't tell one competitor something that would make another competitor angry and you'll be good.
If I know a ruleset or strategy for a game I will happily share with others if they ask.
I hope they don't get mad when those of use that are cool with sharing are talking strategies between balls. If the rules allow it, I see no reason not to.
I am actually thinking the regional crew that is going should/will likely start a little blog where we can all go and insert interesting game tidbits during the day to help each other out. Things like "clean spinner shot on X" or " go for left orbit on X for safe shot" or "left flipper on X is wonky" or "super tight tilt on X". To me the comradeship of event like this is something I was looking forward to and I am slightly surprised that others will get angry if you are talking pinball with others.
