Don't take my fanfic too seriously. I'm just spending some of my time with the table developing a narrative. I'd love to hear whether or not it rings true for you and feel free to add to it.

@Trip Hazard

Congrats on getting to wizard-mode! That's an accomplishment.

I was saying interesting to the whole concept, no so much the story line stuff. I have a friend of a friend who's into Pinball and he's always frustrated that I just want to bang the ball around rather than learning the table, that's all.

Finally managed to get wizard mode, but with only 2 obsidian :/ At least I got a proper highscore.

has the next table been decided?

Not that I'm aware of. Do you have one in mind?

I think we should wait a week before the next tournament. I had a lot of fun playing Sorcerer's Lair this week, but I could see these tournaments becoming encumbering if there is always a tournament happening. I don't really want to wait more than a week though because I had so much fun playing last week; I'm really looking forward to doing this again.

That said, we need to figure out how to nominate and/or chose tables because Sorcerer's Lair is the only free one. Of course no one is obligated to participate every week, but if we figure this out together we have a better chance of attracting more participants. Also tell me if I'm being too bossy.

If we are deciding on tables I would like to nominate Ms. Splosion Man. It is really fun, the shots are easy, it is high scoring, and I think I have a higher score on it than Clyde. You can try the demo and see what you think. Another fun table is Moon Night. The shots are fun, and they say weird stuff to you, and the modes don't really make sense. Again, try it on demo. Just to be clear, I am not attached to these suggestions, and rejection of these is fine, so feel free to say no. I am just trying to get the ball rolling...

I had a great time, prattled on quite enthusiastically about it (the table and the competition) at my bemused GF and her daughter. My score of 111mil is fairly respectable, I'd say? A shame that El Muerte nudged ahead of me at the end but I'll get him next time :)

 

Tomorrow I'll have a try of those two tables and report back.

Also, If you would rather a table Clyde and I haven't played so we can all figure them out together we haven't played:

The force awakens, ant man, portal, any family guy or south park tables, walking dead, dead pool, or venom.

It was hard work. 2-3 plays each day for a week before I finally broke through.

Maybe those who want to participate in a tournament next week can nominate a few tables and we can all take turns eliminating nominations from the group of them until we only have one table left?

I'm at a loss as to what a good way to select another table would be.

Are we just going for Pinball FX2 tables, or also include Pinball Arcade tables?

I don't have any of the PA tables :( They seem to seldom be on sale, and of course it isn't possible to just buy one of them.

End of 2014 season 1 and 2 were on sale, and end of 2015 season 3 was on sale. Individual tables can only be bought directly from FarSight, so yeah it's a bit of an annoyance.

"Tales of the Arabian Nights" is free though

El Dorado is an fun table. A lot of things going on, some interesting modes/missions for as far I was able to experience.

Plants vs Zombies is interesting.

 

Played some Mars, quite a clean table, haven't seen any really special modes.

V12 sucks, way too easy to lose your ball.

Tesla, didn't like it much. No idea how to activate something interesting.

I'd be well up for "Tales" if it's free. I apologise but I haven't gotten around to sampling Ms Splosion or Moon Knight yet, my baby son often scuppers my plans to play (in a cute, endearing way).

146 million on Sorcerer's Lair tonight! Shame I'm about a week late with this score ;)

Is there an easy way to compile that list without going into the application and write down all names?

If you take a screenshot of the Pinball FX2 table-selection screen and list which Pinball Arcade seasons you've bought, I'll write the list for you.

So uh, it looks like there is a significant Steam-sale on Pinball FX2 tables and Pinball Arcade Season 1-3 tables. No pressure.

 

Anyway, I'm hoping we can start a new tournament tomorrow so how about we vote between Moon Knight and Tales of the Arabian Nights or any other table I guess, I'm just trying to limit these to make the choice easier. I'd like to abstain unless there is a tie. Get your vote in by 10 pm EST so I can make a poster for it and we can start the tournament tomorrow (lasting a week (maybe through next Sunday?(It doesn't matter))).

 

Also of note, I added a few recent purchases to my table-list and elmuerte's.
