hey, i thoroughly enjoyed myself, always nice to put faces to names.. i picked out the furball pretty quick
It was great to have an expo at least and as others have suggested its just the first one and you need to crawl before you can walk..all a learning experience for the organisers and ourselves..im sure the feed back will be checked and improvements where possible made for (if !) the next one. My personal thoughts, for being billed an expo i think there should have been a row or two of nice 8-9/10 games on free play so as to allure and not frighten potential new interest .. i saw a couple of jaws drop when they pulled up a playfield for a look what had gone wrong .. they should have had a distinction between project/dead : pinball -but all good.
A special thankyou to all the folk who played CI and enjoyed it, I enjoyed watching others play and general discussion, couple of shots i hadnt seen before including dans back handed right flipper up RHS backlawn from the naturestrip (yes i will appropriately award a combo score value of your choice dan
had a ball get trapped under the "decellerator" ramp (rhs) lots of learnings for me and i didnt think you all played too badly (felixthadog, fair dinkum dan - were two best players imo) ... machine survived trip home as they shut the power off and i didnt know if the HD was parked so all good .. also had a couple of youngens give the flippers a thrashing (multi flipper !)
hi score was 36 mil in the morning sometime(dont know who) and my only audit 297 plays
i have been flat out trying to get it all together and reliable so hopefully a bit more time to hang around forums and talk shop.
a very special thank you to all those involved with the CI banner that was provided this is extremely appreciated
and also to andrew who helped move the beast around and look after it when we needed some cooling (it was hot in there.. they could have chocked a couple of doors an inch or two for some flow upon reflection!
regards
Christian -
