[QUOTE="krazysteve1958, post: 251391, member: 4491"] You are spot on Viking, when the strength of your game becomes your ability to "nudge" a ball headed straight down the middle into a MLB curveball to a flipper, while innovative, it pretty much destroys the credibility of the game, the score and the player. In spite of what the rankings show, I will never recognize Dizzer as the best player quite simply because he isn't. He's the Barry Bonds of pinball and Tarek is Hank Aaron. I'd like to add that this observation has nothing to do with him being a vitriol spewing douche whose sole purpose seems to be a want of recognition it's just based on facts. While my ranking is a meager 23rd compared to the Goliaths of TPA, it should be noted that I've always eschewed any methodology of deliberately draining a ball during multiball play to better my chances at a higher score. This is because the rankings have little or no meaning to me, but more so because as "old man pinball" this isn't how I know how to play and removes an essential part of the game, the part called fun.
