I ask for even more competitors in the PINemHi Leaderboard (highscore lists/cups/tournaments) to increase the fun for all! Please consider to take part.

Have a look at this thread to get an idea http://www.vpforums....i...t=0&start=0.
If you like and come to the decision to take part, just let DnaDisturber know and post in the thread there.

Here you can have a look at the submitted highscores and the actual cup lists http://www.pinemhi.com/hiscores.php

Hope to see you there,

yogi

If you haven't tried it, you really should. It's a lot of fun to compete for high scores.

Support the tourneys, guys, or they may not be around next time you look for one.
All you people that submitted scores to the high score thread here should give it a try.

hell I'd be happy if my name got on the first ten thousand list!
I really suck when it comes to the computer pins. I can't hit flippers
and nudge it at the same time so I end up rarely nudging at all,
ending up with some rather low scores or quick games.

Sorry, but I have basically retired from competitive pinballing. Between the lack of time I have now and my deteriorating vision I haven't played a VP table in months. Really only clicked on VP to check on some newly released tables and to verify that settings on the newly released tables match what has been posted in the adjustment guides or if I have to make a modification to any of the guides.

In another thread you said: "Better to have tried and failed than to have not tried at all?".
What's about this spirit regarding PINemHi?

I'm a lousy player and all my scores there are achieved completely without nudging!

I didn't play VP/VPM tables for much longer (years). The scores I submitted I achieved within max. 5 games on each table.

What is time? Mine is also limited, but how long does one game last? Here not much longer than I need to reply this.

=> Your both excuses aren't accepted!

Being blind is not an excuse yogi, it is a reason. If I can't see the ball clearly, or the objects on the table clearly, there is no way I can competently play, or even comfortably play.

Sorry, but I am retired from competitive play.

I'm sorry, I didn't make the efforts to translate "deteriorating vision". That's in fact a reason and no excuse!

So or so my reply wasn't meant too serious. I guess I just wanted to be some amusing. I failed. Sorry.

Don't worry about it yogi! I kind of figured that you did not understand what I was saying.

I also realized you were trying to be amusing, so part of the blame is on me as well. I originally thought you were trying to goad me when in fact you were joking. So I apologize to you for misinterperting your context.

[yogiholzer]

It was clearly my fault and there's no need for you to apologize. Thanks anyway.
2 posts later it's all clarified. Shouldn't be a problem between two long time members.

okay how about if I just say I suck?
Even on my own creations I must put up cheat walls to get to the later events!
kind of stinks to have to do that but my reflexes are shot nowadays with twitch games
and pinball definitely is a twitch game, hence my love for golfing games and rpg's!
I love to build them, but once they are finished I too rarely go back to play my older ones
and they are dirt simple compared to the ones you guys like to use in the tourneys!
But I'll give it a go anyhow just to say I did
fair enough?

[yogiholzer]

You don't have to if you don't want. And you don't need reasons or excuses. That's all I can say.

Personally I can say that PINemHi brought back some fun to play tables again after a long pause.
I didn't play anymore, because the last impulse was missing. I missed the competition I had while
I was used to play VP/VPM with a friend by turns when we meet here, but life circumstances leed
to the situation that we don't meet often anymore. Other friends aren't interested in pinball at all.
I didn't feel any fun to play tables here on my own without any competition.

The skills aren't really important. If there are enough people around everyone will find anyone else
to compare to, a partner or competitor or whatever the right word is.

It's all only to increase the fun. You decide on yourself.
