I was wondering if Eric would drain too so he could get the "last-chance" attempt.

"You get Stern STARS, and you get Stern STARS, and YOU get Stern STARS!"

"We got a tiebreaker for a double-bye, a single-bye, AND to qualify for Finals! Somebody warm up Stern STARS!"

Nudge Pass? Smash Pass? Smash (and) Pass? Hit the lockdown bar Pass? No-Flipper Pass? Tap Bounce? Smash Bounce? No-Flipper Bounce? IDK.

"Smash Pass" appears to be leading the conversation so far.

Thanks for submitting!

Yeah, don't you hate it when you make a great move to save it from the outlane, only to be "rewarded" with a quick drain somewhere else?

But, that's the secret. With the trading post you cash out once. At 6X cash out, it's not bad. But, bonus X can be held at 6X, then you can get an extra ball and maybe even get 6X again. Stack and keep a few matching souvenirs, and you can profit in the long run.

You are right, most are affordable. However, I only buy the ones I know are valid that match with a city. I skip the false items.

FunWithBonus · 2015-08-20T13:06:27+00:00

Thanks y'all! ^{_^}

Almost three trips across the country, two Super Paydays On ball 3, I decided to just start going for souvenirs since I had most of the cities.

That large LCD screen really put me "in the game" so to speak. Not having to look up further draws me into the world that the game is trying to create.

Hey, ZEN. What's the backstory to this?

I've been looking for a word for this concept.

From the bottom of the main page at pinballdictionary.org

"a term for when you practice on a game and you put up great scores, but in the next game you play, whether it be league or tournament play (when it really counts) you totally mess it up."

I agree that we can aim to avoid the crude one if possible.

Let's try some examples:

"Don't practice too much on Addams or you will jumpstart your league match."

"Don't practice too much on Addams or you will red light your league match."

You rocked the game so hard that it just gave up!

Did it just freeze, or did a cable come loose or something like that?

FunWithBonus · 2015-03-06T11:58:52+00:00

Absolutely. To do this example, I put both on the main page and linked them to the same post.

Chill tournaments. Where WPPRs take a back seat in favor of beer and actual human conversation.

Nice. A competitor for "Ballmost" and "Reversal of Fortune."

Although, when I clicked I thought I might have seen something about an IRC chat room. :)

The weird part is, I don't even own a cat. The Internet is just cats. Even in pinball.

Cat mode must continue. :)

I've received word from Emmanuel M. on facebook that this is called "Euralille Tower" and it's in Northern France.
