VPGL 12 - Tournament Standings


Recommended Posts

swordfight

 

I'll have a bash although I currently don't have a functional cab... it's not far off (I bought a new PC).

 

There was someone on one of the Facebook pages interested so I'll let them know once it's announced.

 

Have any of you seen the Harry Potter table? It's still in Beta but is really impressive. It's being created by Scott Wickberg who is the guy who did the Stranger Things table.

 

I'm not looking at running it till late next month maybe 6 weeks away, plus I've got sh1t internet (sh1nternet?) at the moment after our modem decided to meltdown. Amazing what happens to these little mobile data modems when you use 200GB every month, the battery bloats, things start melting :lol

 

Anyone got any ideas for the next comp, it's good to keep things fresh, try different things. Format, games, bonus ideas, etc - fire away

I liked the mix of the last comp. 8 games, must have at least 2 DMD, 2 SS, and 2 EM games (originals don't get a space reserved for them but can be used if the nominator has tested the table and it doesn't break easily). I didn't really dig the 1 ball wonder thing, it was a bit of a pain in the arse and most people didn't upload a ball 1 score anyway.... maybe that was because there ball 1 wasn't as good as one that was already posted :unsure.

yeah, I agree about the ball 1 hero thing, an idea that was tried, we can forget it now :D

 

A mixed format of eras, also good. I agree about originals, reliability is a factor. Even if they are reliable (like Champions league) then you run into the scoring bug limitations of ultradmd, so originals are out.

 

Maybe 3x DMD, 3x SS, 2x EM ?

There is a new method which I don't think anyone has used yet using PinUp for DMD's and it won't suffer the UltraDMD limitations.

I'm fine with that. I like a mix.

 

 

I do like the idea of running the tables timing like the MGL (I know you are familiar with it but I'll spell it out anyway).

 

Table announced Friday (or Thursday even) and you get to play until the Sunday night of the following week which gives 2 full weekends for games to be played.

A new table gets released each week meaning that there is overlap on what games can be played.

 

I'd also like, if possible that we don't play 2 of the same style in a row, so if a DMD is the first game, then the next one needs to be SS or EM etc.

all fine with me to do it that way, makes good sense.

 

now i really need to go off and update / look at some of the new tables, i'm months behind.

 

Had one of my Bros visiting recently, and he played my vpin for the first time - he absolutely loved AFM. He was yelling out MULTIBALL! and everything :D

I'm way behind too. Bought a new PC for mine and need to get it set up for Pinfest again.

 

Did your old one die, or were you looking for a performance upgrade ? Good to hear it will be at Pinfest again.

 

My downloads say May the 18th was the last table i got, 8-ball. I did notice Time Warp got released WITH the banana flippers, which is very cool.

The PC I had was struggling to keep up with some tables so i needed an upgrade.

I don’t really play my pincab.

I don’t download any new tables.

The league makes me download and play, every time I think of getting rid of it, a new league starts

 

So you're saying we need more leagues?

This is pretty much where I'm at...

 

I don't think I'll get rid of mine though, I'd regret it down the track, and there's no way i would ever build another one.

 

I'm interested to see how VP advances.. in the last few years table quality and physics realism have improved massively.

 

eventually (when they don't cost an arm and a leg) and when money allows it I'd like to get a VR headset - and having a Pincab + headset would be very cool, full immersion.

need more particpants, the numbers are dwindling

 

Losing the top 2 players Dedrok and Wob hurt, and yeah 5-6 players a game, is it worth it.

 

Maybe a different format, not so long, no points, a 'table of the month' and just track wins ?

 

Players take it in turns to choose, with an option for a choice to be voted out if it's rubbish :) rotate formats - DMD, SS, EM

 

Thoughts ? Would make it much easier to run too

I don't know about top 2 :)

 

I'm out for a comp till I have my IJPA back in 1 piece and working, deadline is pinfest, after that the VP will get some love again.

I'm keen to get into the comps for VPX. Have had my machine for about 2 years, and play it all the time but only just recently signed up here seeing there was a comp for vpx. +1 if it helps for participants!

Nothing wrong per say, Just giving it a heap of TLC, lots of man hours and a heap of coin on new parts.

After all these comps, i had no idea your vpin was a mini-pin !

 

Good to see Indy getting all that love, it's a great game.

 

I think what I'm going to do re the comps is post a game of the month. They will be in order ie DMD, SS, EM.

 

And I'll just keep it rolling month to month. I'll start in August some time.
