Let's change the subject a bit and get away from all the government crap.
Describe your best epic win on pinball or even vids. You know... the time that all the planets were aligned and you basically had your BEST game moment. The game you will never forget! Like the time you doubled your high score, or when you actually reached a kill screen after years of practice, or when you were down bigtime on points against an opponent and you came back on your last ball and beat him so badly he never wanted to play you again...
The truly EPIC win...
Let's hear it. Don't be afraid to brag your a** off!!
I beat AncientGames on his Batman Forever while I was there, that was kinda nice... (beginners luck though, I'd never played it before).
Beating Todd McCullough at a $1 throwdown in Allentown was also a nice moment.. (especially since I couldn't see straight.. it was one of those "in the zone" moments you have right before passing out)

My most EPIC is... I don't really have any, I suck at pinball and vids! I only play at MPL meeting so I won't have an epic moment coming soon, I just roll my first SS last meeting but even if I had some high score, I still have one of the worst average so all small victory is nearly epic for me

I know you didn't win A's my point was just scanning the results I think your win was the best showing by someone from north of the border
Depends on your take.
Canadians have qualified in the A division making it into the TOP 16 which to me is a greater accomplishment then winning B division.
Wining B was great as an accomplishment in and of itself but A is another entity in an of itself and I think it takes more effort and skill to qualify in A then it did winning B.
UW had a great arcade in a room above the pub and there were two machines in the pub itself. They were having a week-long high-score contest on one of the games in the pub.
One night, I got on a major roll. I wish I could remember what game it was, but I do remember that it had a roto-target in the middle of the playfield. I had that thing spinning like mad and racking up huge points. I had a major crowd going and it was quite the buzz. They went nuts when I rolled the score over. Apparently, no one had ever seen it done before. When the last ball finally drained, we pulled one of the bar staff over to record the score. I thought they were going to kill him when he questioned the rollover.
I won a Blue Oyster Cult t-shirt and their Agents of Fortune album. I still have them both.
August 1982. I entered a pinball tournament at 8 years old at a campground where my parents had a camping trailer. The prize was 50$ I gave my 2$ allowance to enter.
I beat out 39 other guys averaging well over twice my age. In the final game, I beat out the 3 other guys on Rolling Stones... actually, correction... I SLAYED THEM. I still remember it vividly.
3-ball game on Rolling Stones. 4 players. In a smoke-filled hall. Donnie Iris was screaming "Ah Leah!" on the juke. I was 3rd in line to play. I got around 185000 on first ball, 600000 by the second and by the end of the third ball (and an extra ball) I rolled that pin well over twice over. I was at max bonus with max multiplier and I sent the ball in the "collect bonus" saucer 4 times.
The second best score was 200000 points or something like that.
So to sum it up, a bunch of tough guys with jean jackets with Ozzy patches on the back got their asses handed to them by a scrawny little kid.
