New June Tournament for iOS & Android starting 6/13/2014

Thanks Chris I thought you had me a couple of times!
I also emailed support and they responded back tonight saying they were aware of it but I totally forgot to check if they removed the scores.
Btw who is this efbelo guy? He kind of came out of nowhere and I've never seen the name around here.

When I scored the 70mil on Dr. dude I expected to return to the standings in first, only to see you had topped that anyways. They did not change the firepower scores and I expect they really didn't even check or care to. The first reply I got was "thanks we will look into it". The second reply was "thanks we are still looking into it".

As for efbelo he is one of the ones I suspected of cheating. Just because IMO if you come out of nowhere (not being a member here, or scoring in the regular game leaderboards) then I am going to assume you cheat until proven otherwise

Congrats again Dylan. Uncanny the scores you put up there. I was glad to see you jump over efbelo especially with that wonky firepower score he had. That guy came out of nowhere never seen that name anywhere before. . Looking forward to the next one. tournament time is always fun.

I saw efbelo in the Silver tournament in May and he either won it or placed near the top. I am in Silver again in July I placed 126th out of 304. I beat my personal local high score records in the tournament on Monster Bash, Cue Ball Wizard and Lights...Camera...Action... So I will probably play those and see if I can get any good games going!

 

[Bowflex]

I saw nail driver finish just ahead of me in silver but I got the coveted #69 place! Does anyone know what the all time rank is for on the tourney results or how the points are calculated for that?

When the tournament ended it caught me by surprise. As I had forgotten the end date. Banged out a bunch of nice scores last weekend, but was never quite satisfied with my MB score. Learned a lot more strategy this time around. Glad I'll be in gold for the next one, finished 4th in silver. There must be a ton of 'last minute' players. As for me, last weekend was crucial, because this last work week has been one of the worst weeks of my life. Just dealing with an entire new crew of morons, and the usual bosses that accuse ME of being lazy due to their incompetence.

Maybe I should start a thread called 'can't play pinball because of my stupid idiotic job'. Anyways, it's been a lot of fun and can't wait to see you guys in gold for the next one. Can't wait to see the lineup. We could start a 'next tourney line-up speculation' thread. Ready, go

In the past I believe MB has high scores of about 15Bil or so, so to see two at 19Bil is quite astounding. That is 3 times though the instruments or just playing the first MOR the entire time?

Yeah sorry about that Dr. dude score. I had to put up a couple of firsts in order to overtake that guy and monster bash/cue ball wizard were not being kind to me this time around. Drag about the firepower scores.

Thanks Crooker Looking forward to the next one.

I would love to see themed tournaments like dividing them by years or manufacturer. I realize these tourneys are mostly used to push tables that didn't sell well but I'd even be willing to pay a small entry fee if they did that.

That'd be pretty cool I reckon.

That was because of my once in a lifetime score on Bigshot if not for that I'd be far behind you.

i believe naildriver is a black hat hacker and cheats his ass off

hes actually alot better than me tbh

 

[kinggo]

about that.........
I have to say that I am suspicious about those. I mean, how can one guy beat almost everybody on every table??? In one day.
I was beaten at Elvira by 2M which is totally doable, I missed one 3M Elvira shot and 2 times 1M. But not easy, even Dylan doesn't have much bigger score on leaderboard. But I think that the same guy ended in front of you at the end. And that was not easy. And I don't see him on leaderboards.

A lot of the scores I had were my personal bests. Tournaments give me a reason to actually try. Not that it wasn't fun, it was a blast. I'm not to worried about the cheating... If it's a score that everyone knows is clearly fake, then at least we all know it. As far as the guys that pulled ahead of me at the last minute, I'm not so sure they were fake. It's still possible. As far as the leaderboards, I never look at those, so I wouldn't know. Anyways kinggo, can't wait for the next one, and I'm glad you made it to gold with me.

I can understand that, I set PR's on 3 tables last week in the tourney. Which I hate doing BTW. But I think even normal scores with usernames that haven't been seen previously can be questioned. Nothing against them if they are legit, but if you are new and putting up good scores in this type of digital online format on a platform that has a history of being "hacked" you may be questioned upon entrance.

 

[Bowflex]

I tend to have tourney scores at or near my personal best. Aside from a handful of tables I play regularly, I rarely have great games. I just put on a random table for a game or three and move on to another one while killing 15 minutes. I could t tell you the last time I played Elvira and the party monsters or firepower but I played those heavily in the tourney.

 

[kinggo]

and I'm glad you made it to gold with me.

THX man. But staying there will be tough.
BTW, nice avatar

 

[jaredmorgs]

How I managed to fluke 25th boggles my fragile little mind. Gold rank is mine for the month!

Let's hope this is an omen for my IRL Tournament final on Sunday!

Hah! It seemed fitting. The pearl does remind me of a pinball. Yeah, that's the album by Leftfield - leftism... Or did you already know that? If you've ever seen Hackers, then you've heard about half of that album lol.
