You need to go back and re read your own post. Here is a copy of your own post so you can remember it.

I was convinced to try it under false information about this tournament by a salesman and I believed that paying for a three day tournament would last for all three days.

If I said I was sold a weekend package to a pinball tournement by a salesman who would you think I was talking about? Someone from pinwiz right? Most people would not even know Aurcade existed. I went to PINWIZ to sign up and play not Aurcade Right?

Next is how I got to business again because of one of your posts. Again so you can remenber and not twist what you said.

If raising your hand for five minutes to post a score because of the shortage of volunteers and poor planning is your definition of a well run event, then it was well done

You know so much about business first they were employees not volunteers as I stated before many of them not including Sarah and her tech which filled in also taking scores. Employees cost money, even to hire them for three days is prohibitive. More score takers involvers more ipads which involves a lot of money. The idea of a good Business model would be to make money not lose money on it. I know I should go back and re read what you posted. You try to spin what you said around like you did in previous posts.

A customer like you cost a Business more money in effort trying to please you then you are worth. Nah, you are right I don't know anything about Business and I am not going to get into a pissing match. So here is the bottom line.

Here is your post to Bowen;

They advertised themselves as running the tournament, but none of them were there. That is why I felt like I received false information. I have never done a pinball tournament, and I wanted to try it out. Based on the false information and my experience, I felt like I was ripped off. If I ever try this tournament again I will take your advice and just compete in one of tournaments. Most likely the ones that only cost two tokens, because the three token games and the four token mystery game turns me away.

Here is what I got rereading all your posts;


First, Never, no where did I ever see or read Aurcade come off that this was their event or that they were running the event so unless you are reading something that no one else did. So the story about what you were told from a second party that makes no sense at all.

Second, sounds to me like you were looking to go to the event and play all day on other peoples free credits and you did not bring any extra money with you.. You assumed that when people logged their score that they would leave their credits on the machine and you would swoop in and play them. This is what you thought was going to happen but in actuallity When you ran out of tokens because you are bad at playing, played like a fool, pumped all your tokens into the first few machines you played, did not have any extra money with you to buy more tokens, and figured out that people were not leaving their credits on the machine, the tournement sucked and you decided to leave. As you were driving away in your car this was the time when you felt ripped off and mislead

So nuff said, moving on.

Classic

This thread is a classic example of:

An internet (keyboard tough guy) fight

People misunderstanding the written word

One person disliking an event and another liking it



At least Robbie tried the tourney and can now understand the mechanics behind how it could conform to his needs. Some of us have played the ACAM arcade game event and won't be back, while others for various reasons love it, probably due to an expectations versus actual outcome perception.

I'm sure brimc had certain expectations before he lost his sense of humor and messaged me about not playing fair. I mentioned Robbie had a small penis earlier and you didn't hear him acting like a whiney bitch.

And that my friends is a classic example of people getting overly politically correct. Although I know some of you laughed at what I said.

Rob, Pretty Racist comment wasn't it??? Me I would do some editing pretty quick. That was pretty uncalled for and usually doesn't go over to well these days.

I heard the last guy that made a suggestion on here got banned from this site.

It's racists Rob, because you put the word "Black" in front of another word. That is racist in the eyes of geniuses in this world.

Must not feed trolls.

They couldn't get their 15 min of fame by actually doing well at the ACAM or Pinwiz tournaments so they are looking for that 15 min of fame here by bashing them or claiming others cheated.

Must not feed trolls.

At the rate they are going they will only be welcome in there own houses cause no one will want their attitude in their business.

Must not feed trolls.

Back under my bridge....

That was my point from the start. I felt the need to criticize the tournament based on my experience. I may have had a lousy attitude at the beginning and said some things the wrong way. I apologized for that, and I also entered in my suggestions. People are so sensitive, get defensive about, it and attack me. I was just defending myself. They get mad because what I say irritates them and what they say has no affect on me. And let's be serious, no matter how well you do in any gaming or pinball tournament, none of us are famous. The best we can do is be well known in a small community of hobbyists. The days of getting famous doing this are a thing of the past.

Now you guys know the truth behind why the pinball machine The Black Knight freaks me out. I think the knight isn't a white guy under his armor and being a huge racist I can't handle it.
