Quoted from pinmanguy:lol I have no trust of your ratings sorry
That's all well and good, but I'm entitled to my opinion. My opinion is that ACDC is dull and has a lame theme based on a rubbish band. Also, Funhouse is creepy to the point where it's nearly unplayable (though I'm getting over that; I would rate Funhouse higher now.)
Quoted from TheLaw:My favorite game from your bottom 5 is Wh20.
But what's your favorite worst? Mines ACDC from your list 
Quoted from bemmett:Meaning Funhouse and AC/DC from above post
I stand by my ACDC rating. I don't care for the band, dislike the music, and the art does nothing for me. The layout is nothing special.
Funhouse, as I said, I would rate a fair bit higher if I did it again. It's objectively a really well-designed game, and I think it's fun. As I said, it's my favorite game that appears in my bottom 5 (and wouldn't be there at all if I bothered to rate games I think are complete rubbish.) Largely why it's so low is because the sounds/voices, and animations I rated low because I felt they were creepy. I also thought that detracted from the fun of the game. Again, my feelings have changed on that.
Quoted from o-din:Did you say favorite bottom?
Much better than any of the bottom 5 on my list.

I'm confused.
Here is your bottom 5:
X-Men (Premium/LE) - 7.860
Big Buck Hunter Pro - 7.819
Pirates of the Caribbean - 7.756
White Water - 7.292
Batman (The Dark Knight) - 6.144
So wouldn't X-Men be your favorite of your bottom 5 since it is ranked the highest of your bottom 5? And if not shouldn't POTC be ranked higher than X-Men (If you like it more)?
Call me crazy but I like every machine ranked higher on my list better than the machines ranked lower ......kind of the whole point isn't it?
I wouldn't want to play 3 balls on any of my least favorite games. There are some terrible pinball machines out there.

That would be the case if I could rank them in order, but the Pinside rating system is pretty coarse. I've tried fiddling with stuff to get my rankings to come out in order, but it doesn't always work.
I think finer adjustments to the ratings (1 to 10 rather than 1 to 6) would go a long way to making them more fine tunable.
My rankings list has a few games I like better than others rated below ones I like less.

Now thats a nice bottom

Kinda not really maybe? 
you could have a couple games that are ranked very closely, one could lose points for looks & audio but be funner to play than another one. Although in my rankings it sort of works like you are saying.

If you tweak the priorities of your ranking system......it should work out that way.

Mine too.
