My high score is around 1.1 million. Does anyone know if extra balls can be stockpiled? I had both upper and lower EBs lit yesterday while I was playing an EB so maybe could have knocked down the 3 EB wizard goal. I don't plan on ever getting the 3mil goal, which kind of sucks because there is a trophy on PS4 for completing. Looks like it is ultra rare, .1%. But even the silver trophy for completing standard goals on Genie clocks in at .2% completion.

So, are we going for the wiz goals over again? Just for this week? I'm a little confused

We are simply playing the table as a group. If you've already done the goals, play anyways. Give advice. Make a goal of your own. Essentially we are just focusing the conversation on a table for the week.

At one a week, we're looking at almost a year and a half's worth of fun here. I see potential.

No, the tourney will happen the 4th Sat of every month (starting in Feb) and will be with the last few tables of the week. So get your practice in now!

I'll come up with the rules for the tourney a little later, maybe with your guys input. I do not want a grind fest, and am thinking of having s 12 hour window when the time comes.

Got 2 extra balls and had 2 targets lit for the third. Arrgh so close.

Yeah... Maybe one should just try to hunt for those three extra balls instead of points. I'm scoring less and less but the frustration is getting higher *argh*

When I got over a million I really thought I had cracked this pin - boy was I wrong. With this rate I be lucky to get 0 points in five balls...

I believe you can get 1 EB per ball. A 5 ball game is probably the way to go for this goal.

It has an uncanny knack for kicking you off your high horse when you get a little steam going.

You mean, talk about the game and the actual tables? Alright, I guess....:p

He says in week 1

The real test for this little long form experiment is when hated tables like Harley Davidson or Goin' Nuts come around. Hopefully we'll all be able to find something to appreciate about those too.

I do gotta say, this is the first time I've extensively played Genie beyond just a game or two. It frustrates me, especially the left outlane. I also keep on trying to rotate the lit lanes to no avail! Slowly but surely I'm recognizing how to make certain things light up. Yes, I could read the instructions, but where's the fun in that?

Here's my first tip. Don't try to play TPA and watch Football at the same time. Ack this is killing me.

Haha same with Soccer. I had a ball roll off my flipper as I was watching the EPL and missed my eb shot.

3 Extra Balls complete!! :cool:
Barely scored 850k with a 9 ball game. Going to have to switch to 3 ball start for better scoring.

So I guess we should be playing this on standard settings during Tourney time. I don't buy into Pro Mode.
