[QUOTE="WhiteChocolate, post: 222432, member: 4374"] oh, i hate to get into the middle of this... ;0 but i must, i must! "brethren, why can't all we come together - the people-who-hate-people party?" ;0 (nod to tha bill hicks fans out there! ;0) other than that if there's a first "name brand" i know in pinball, it's lawlor (i did my best to butcher rudy at the pinball hall on-campus, when it first came out! and that was the first table to really revive me to the idea of "pinball"... it took TPA many years later to re-revive that interest...) at the same time, i know ritchie's awesome playfields from the same time, watching friends play the t2 and sttng layouts! back in "tha day" (ahhh, early ninties! what sweet youth lol ;0), i played lawlor, but my friends all played ritchie! i'd just expounded upon some of the possible diffs between their two design asthetics over in the "5-10 top rw tables by rules" style table; i don't wish to repeat too much here... but i do have a secret "surprise" here! ;0 so, now having mentioned -none- of that... ;0 this is all i'm gonna say... HERE'S THE SURPRISE! ;0 too many of lawlor's layouts have upper flippers placed/backed against gutters, where the ball can get trapped -underneath/behind- the flipper! then only get released into a certain-doom trajectory, SDTM... ;0 (is this a "feature" and not a "bug" in the table design?) (now goes running hiding away from my sensei/teacher/mentor, lol i feel ;)... truly in retrospect, there's just that much cross-current betwee-ixt lawlor n ritchie-style designs. BUT, that's not the end of the story... ;0) but p.s. in case you didn't catch it... i prefer lawlor to ritchie, -but- it's a stretch cuz, besides what says i can't choose my fave lawlors, along with a few ritchies here?? ;0 no table limits ever set, was there? ;0 i'd def take with me a STTNG...
