    Saying hi, playing lots of real pinball for 1st time in 20 years!

    Hi, this is invitro, I used to post a lot here until TPA and then Zen/Williams slowed down or stopped making new stuff. I finally made it out to two "retro" arcades about 30 minutes from me (they opened a few years ago; I had some driving problems that prevented me from going earlier). They...

    Indeed it is: a threat to call you out on your BS. Also: I seem to remember you "bragging" in your early posts that you played constantly because you had no job.

    You said exactly that numerous times in your TotM posts. And it's high irony for you to accuse me of putting words in your mouth, when you blatantly did that a couple of days ago when you said that I encourage paying Farsight for bugs, even having the gall to put what you said I said in quotes...

    Well, I didn't read it that way. He made a general statement: "The more games you have, the better are your chances to win". It reads as applying to everyone. Everyone includes unskilled players.

    Be careful, buddy. I watch tourney results closely, and you play almost as much as anyone, and certainly as much as the person you're talking about. (Or at least post new scores as often as he does.) There are many people in Steam Gold that play a lot more than he does.

    Nothing's unclear. You said "The more games you have, the better are your chances to win", which clearly implies that unskilled players have a better chance to win the more games they play. I just find it puzzling that you'd make this claim, as it seems in odds with your other claims.

    So exactly how many tiers are you suggesting? Can you prove that is the ideal number? Can you even prove that your number is better than three is? If Farsight went to this number, would you promise not to beg for even more tiers in a few months? ;) Here's one thing that I do think is a...

    You've mentioned these sentiments before. The thing I don't understand: why is it so important to you to finish high, or have a chance of winning? I know if Tarek or Dizzer2012 enters, I have no chance, and don't mind in the slightest. I play to improve my scores and position. I guess I...

    So you're saying that the more games that an unskilled player has, the better his chances to win. Funny, that seems like the opposite of what you and syt are arguing. And it's very easy and simple-minded to just blurt out a cliche like your second sentence. That doesn't mean it's true. Skill...

    There is certainly seems to be* an inpenetrable Platinum sub-tier in Steam Gold. If this is a problem, and I'm not convinced that it is, it's caused by promoting too many players from Silver, or not demoting enough. * Or maybe there isn't. A-Jey in particular was not in the top tier a couple...

    I don't know if you're referring to real pinball or TPA, but it doesn't matter: if a player is significantly more skilled than you, you have a better chance in the week of unlimited plays than in a single game. The reason is that you need luck to win, and the way of getting that luck is to make...

    It is indeed 10 minutes on PC. Well I like the variety, but hope it isn't a permanent change. At least it's not 5 minutes.
