Ok guys

Finally trying to get organized for the finals. I propose June 19 which is a Saturday. I have to work until 2 so figure start after 4 and make it a mini meeting into the evening. We can order pizza etc for the hungry ones. If that date doesn't work then either somebody else has to step in or we go into Sept. Cottage, life outdoors and son's softball games and skateboarding camps takes priority in the summer

Hope that date works for everybody. I'm trying to get as many games 100% but can only promise they will be functional - not much time these days to shop them all out like usual - sorry

LMK whose coming so I can plan numbers

June 19 sounds good to me!

I'm in for that. Let me know if you need any help.

19th is good for me!

Bummer. That's Adam's wedding weekend. I won't be able to make it.

I like that date, count me in... Pharoah007, you were my pick to win it this year, let the bush wait... Willing to lend a hand also if needed.

I picked myself to win as well

I can host if 3 pins will cut it for the final??

JM, DM and TFTC.

I'm good for the 19th, though I would more than likely have to leave right after the playoffs conclude.

WOO HOO.

Turns out our trip into the bush does not start until the 20TH!!!!!!!!!


I WILL BE THERE, LOOK OUT!

Damn, there goes my shot at 1st place! ;(

OK everybody, games are shaping up slow but sure altho my sys 11 are being tempermental - I fix one thing and something else goes .

I forgot to mention a couple of things. Please bring drinks for yourself and a snack food to share. Vege and fruit platters are always welcome . I usually provide snacks and drinks but extra always gets eaten. Also for the new members coming, if you don't know where I live- fire me PM for the address. I live in Cumberland village. Also, within reasonable numbers, non competing members are welcome to come also as I am making it a mini meeting. ie playing can continue after the competition is done. All I ask is LMK if you are coming for numbers to expect. There are plenty of extra games to play besides the playoffs ones.

Hope to see some of the new guys there and of course all the regulars. (even Zak....   )

See you the 19th

I know, I am so "high maintenance" lol

And bring lots of loonies. The last time I was ME's I had a lot of fun betting on games (amusement only my butt!), even though I lost $2.

Half should go to the house  

Maybe I should put Ironman or one of the other Stern's on tournament mode and winner at the end of the night gets 1/2 the pot and the other to a charity? I kind of like that idea and house gets to pick the charity (thinking kids or woman's shelter). I've always wanted to turn one of my meetings into a pay to play for charity but with coins and coin mechs - I think easier to just use the Sterns on tournament mode.

LMK what you think. We could also do the entire pot to winner, but I think splitting with a charity is a bit nicer

Quoted from medvet

Maybe I should put Ironman ...

Excellent idea AND excellent choice of game. It's awesome AND nasty. You may need to get a few rolls of loonies, though  

Should be a great time. Sorry I'm going to miss it. I was in the running this year. Hope you guys have a blast.

Duane

Tournament mode sounds like fun!

Can I elect Spider-Man for tournament play too?

I am no longer able to go. Father's day celebration got moved from Sunday to Saturday. Looks like I have missed another fun night. Guess I will just have to have a pin competition against my family.  

I will be bringing some ice cream treats for people to enjoy!

Oh, you are SO in!!!! The way to a girl's pinball heart - ice cream!!!

(that's just to bring up the adrenaline level for the meeting )

I don't have a problem with the charity thing, sounds like a cool thing to do.  Jeez, hope I don't forget to bring loonies.

Loafer - I saw you at Billings Bridge yesterday (stalker, lol) were you at the R.A. center for the day with the I.M. Group? (thats why I was there)

Medvet... ice cream eh....and all this time I have been trying Ketchup chips

Checking out the competition eh?  FEAR! (yeah right!).  eheh I work for CBSA, at the Billings Bridge location so I'm there all the time.

Jesus... aren't you guys married? Don't you know by now that a woman's true happiness starts with 3 words?

...


No... not "I love you"...


...


Chocolate Haagen Dazs.

or

Ben And Jerry's.



(I keep a supply on hand for when I buy a pin.   )

Salut Medvet,

If not too late I will join the party and I am more than happy to contribute to your charity event and of course I will bring something to share.

tks

Sparky, ice cream works but that is just to warm her up. If you really want undevoted attention and lifetime happiness you have to go for.........................DIAMONDS.  More expensive but so much more reward afterward!!!

That's why I LOVE my wife. She considers diamonds as merely an advanced form of carbon.

A little ice cream, a little massage, and a lot of honesty. That's why I thank God every day for being married to that wonderful woman.

Diamonds don't taste as good as ice cream.

Count me in; tks! I’ll bring a veggie platter – you can’t live on ice cream alone (or diamonds…)     I’ll also bring a few loonies (one roll should do the trick!) – sounds like a good idea re charity and competition!

Well seeing as I only made the 1st event, I might as well make it to the last one. I may not win but I will prepare everyone for the increased competition next year.  

I will bring something ... not sure yet.

Can't make it. Darn!
Good luck to everyone!

OK everybody - here's the confirmed list from the thread - LMK if anybody else is coming? Remember - non OPL players are welcome as the party will go until 11 or so. Just LMK if you are attending.

Games are all working (as of now.... ) Got inspired by Dipstick Jimmy and even brought out my neglected TZ for the party . Plan is still for 4 pm and remember - any animal allergic people - take your drugs before coming! 2 dogs and 7 cats means lots of hair   Rogan and Tyler are my built in secret weapons for the finals - anybody leading will have Tyler and Rogan helping them play !

See you guys Sat

Tentative match list for double elimination playoffs. Each pair plays best of 3 games, each player chooses a machine, and flip for the third. High score wins.

If two players face each other a second time, it will be best of 5 games including the first round.

Does that sound agreeable to everyone?

looks good to me!

Hey Tiny - that looks fantastic!

Have we decided on a Charity to put the "loonie fund" towards yet?

if not...

I lost a life long friend of mine this week to Cancer at the young age of 38, leaving behind his wife and children.

Can we donate to the Canadian Cancer Society?

Doh,

due to a scheduling (& rain-date) screw-up my sons baseball playoff game has now been rescheduled from 10am this morninguntil 2pm this evening. Suffice it to say I am going to be late for the OPL meeting. Seeing as I have the lowest attendance you might as well start without me, however, I will be there later on.

Sorry Folks!

Great fun as usual ME, thanks so much for hosting.  As usual, nice to meet other fellow pinheads, you're all a bunch of great guys/gal.

Fun fun as always. Thanks for hosting Med Vet. I need to get my score up 700,000 for next season

Thanks medvet for hosting another great meeting! Even though all your machines were very mean to me.

Congratulations to Williams Fan for winning the playoffs, and to Pharoah007 for taking home the cash from Iron Man.

See you all next season!

tks for the great fun and I wish you guys a super duper summer and


Keep on playing brothers (and sister)

Thanks Medvet! That is easily the best collection I have ever seen in person. System 11 all the way!

Thanks again for hosting ME. Sorry for knocking you out of the running.

Congrats to Williams Fan for winning, for bringing the ice cream you deserved to win!

Tks for hosting, ME - Transporter was a definite highlight – you would make a great pinball coach . Plus, thanks to Tinyrodent for keeping us ‘organized’ all season including an excellent approach to the finals! Congrats to Williams fan!

And…have a great summer everyone!!

Thanks ME. It was a blast as usual. I hope to improve my play over the summer and maybe make a few more events next year.

Hope everyone has a great summer! Now get up out of the basement everyone and go out and enjoy some sun!  

Yes, a very special thanks to Medvet and Tiny Rodent. Glad I found out about this board, I have met some great people.
