Title: Late Breaking News - Banned from Coconut Island!
Post by: pinnies4me on April 03, 2009, 05:38:58 PM
This just in via Reuters

Pinnies4me, head of marketing, play-testing, legal and all other things Nug won't do on Coconut Island, has been banned from the Island.

Initially unavailable for comment, Mr Pinnies4me was located sulking outside the entrance to the Coconut Island Non-pinball Factory "He won't let me in!" he lamented.

"Apparently the Island is all but complete, and Tribal Revolt has been coded - all I wanted was one little game" he said.

Coconut Island is the first and probably only pinball machine to be built in Australia this decade. The work of pinball guru Nug (who is believed to be in line for the 2010 Order of Australia medal), the game is expected to debut of the Sydney Pinball Expo next month.

Described as "a PoS built out of second hand parts" by one unnamed but almost illiterate industry insider, Coconut Island has exceeded all expectations of the select few who have been privileged to play the game during development.

Mr Pinnies4me believes the ban will be lifted early next week, and has been promised exclusive photographs and video footage for release on Australia's No. 1 Pinball Community - aussiepinball.com very soon.

Stay Tuned.

Wow this is breaking News..

This is bigger than when Harry Williams left Willams and went to Stern.

Lets hope for the sake of PINBALL Nug lets you back in soon, couldnt stand to see another major Pinball manufacturer close its doors.

P.S This isnt over a girl is it...This isnt the Beatels and Yoko all over again :lol

Well they must have a strict visitors visa policy like Australia

No one with a shady (according to some sources you may have been hiding underneath the coconut tree..for the shade of course) legal background allowed to visit until all precautions are taken

Did you fill out the application forms in quadruplicate and get it notorised.

I wait with bated breath for the next installment of "Coconut Island the visitors lament continues"

Serves you right. The production of this machine is not following Industry Trends. We will require at least 8 more delays before moving the due date to another unobtainable deadline.

Where's my refund  !^!

I emailed Spacies a few days ago, but no reply. I think he was moving house recently - might not have net access? haven't seen him on line lately. We don't have the files to print ourselves, and he was going to print it - kind a stuck right now.

I forget how much fun it was posting the updates and videos of this project. We have started NPC-002 - playfield lay out is designed, toys have been sourced and bought, picked up an empty cab not long ago. Looks like that might be my Winter project.
