[QUOTE="DanBradford, post: 190297, member: 2331"] i've given up on this table already. i managed 140M or so legally and all i got was some poxy point count, then i somehow managed 250M or so via some stupid bug where it kept bouncing off the rt sling and back into the left lower saucer so i kept getting free points and ended up with this semi-decent score...... but still it's only worth 47 points overall so what's the point. ok ok i get it, i know that points are not the main goal, fun is the main goal, but in that case i would be happy to just stick with 3 or 4 basic tables forever and be done with it. let's see - AFM, CFTBL, TOTAN. ok i'm done. but we have all these tables so they all have to individually be fun to play and worthwhile putting the effort in because a good score will make a real difference to our overall tally ..... so points *are* important to gaming generally. but not here. so why should i spend forever trying to double my best ever score on SST for an extra 47 points, when instead i could try to beat my best Dracula, Theatre of Magic, Diner, Star Trek, CV, Ripleys even ... by 20% for a bigger reward? they gotta set the target goal points tally right, it's crazy if they don't make the initial number variable based on subsequent data coming in. crazy. anyway. rant over. as you were [/QUOTE]
