If FS is limited to the number of B/W tables, why waste them?

[QUOTE="karl, post: 57970, member: 465"] Roger Sharpe is probably the only reason they have Williams/Bally at all since they are known for being hard to work with. To me there is only 3 of the tables that are way too easy. 1. Bride of Pin bot(never played in real life), 2. Scarred Stiff, 3. Twilight Zone. On those 3 I have Marathon rounds every second or third game and that is to often (It is ok to have a long game if you been trying for it 10 times in a row) Would be nice to get another video Interview soon to hear from Roger what his role has been in the company because I do not trust it when I hear stuff like "Sharpe is also the guy who told FS to intentionally make the tables easier" no matter who says it(no offense Richard). It is just to vague. What did he say to make easier? Randomness from kickouts?, general physics?, operator adjustments etc, etc. I doubt he talks with them before each table release (that is Josh's job). To Worf: About your statement as to why Roger Sharpe was with Williams for so long. He was mainly a license guy at Williams not a table tweaker. I am sure he did some of that also as he is an excellent player and a great designer but it was not his main job. I would guess many designers would come to him for some advice though :) One last thing: To me, the important thing is not about who or what was the death of pinball but rather Is anybody trying to kill it now? My answer: There is no one strong enough to challenge the strong arm of the plunger :) To Sumez: I started writing this before you posted. Did I just spend One bleeding hour on this piece of nonsense :D [/QUOTE]
