    Quoted from snowy_owl:

    I figured I'd get this response. I don't ever deathsave on location, those are other people's games. However, if it's my own game, I still stand by my statement. I don't see why it's cheating.

    Well, if it’s your own game, do as you please: Take the glass off, set it to 10 balls, place rubber bands blocking the outlanes etc.

    In all seriousness death saves are a skill, but it does not belong in competitive pinball.

    Some things don’t need detailed rationalizations, they just fall into the category of you just know it’s wrong when you see it.
