Pinball confessional

[C&C]

Forgive me father for I am going to pin (in about a hour). I’m going to remove the tilt bob, I am weak and I am unworthy but Ineed a good score.

Exodus 34
..and when Moses descended from the mountain he saw that on the reverse of the second tablet there was inscribed a further commandment:

11. Thou shalt never remove thy tilt bob, for it maketh a mockery of all previous scores earned in good faith, and through the hardships thus endured. Indeed the only adjustment to be permitted is for the holy bob to be tightened yet further, lest thou becomest complacent in the journey on which thou hast embarked.

 

[windoesnot]

You should write a 10 Commandments of Pinball Conrad

 

[Paul R Owen]

You should write a 10 Commandments of Pinball Conrad

1. Thou shall never restart a game after a bad ball. Even TWD.

 

[AlanJ]

2. Thou shall not commit deathsaves

 

[Tatatwo]

Indeed the only adjustment to be permitted is for the holy bob to be tightened yet further, lest thou becomest complacent in the journey on which thou hast embarked.

I repent, oh how I repent. I have spend the day recounting my sins and flagellating my body with a gnarled tilt bob. I have undone the sacrilege foretold and only left a few quarter turns untightened. Let the lord have mercy upon this poor misguided sinner, I have seen the light and the LED is very, very bright!

 

[Mooseman]

Thou shall not covet thy neighbours collection

 

[Fantazia2]

Thou shalt not play with the glass removed to get a higher score.

 

[Wayne J]

Thou shall NEVER set a replay award as an extra ball

 

[steve brum]

Ideal number of pinball machines = what you have now +1

 

[Den - aka Wolfgang]

Thou shall NEVER set a replay award as an extra ball

That's one of my favourite things to do when playing at home

 

[Big Phil]

Forgive me, for I have pinned.

It’s 6 weeks since my last confession.

It’s 3:30am and I’m lying in bed, tortured with thoughts of pinning again.

I’m actually thinking of buying another pin. I’m already 3 pins over my allowed space.

I kneel before you and ask you to shower me with your strength to resist.

But in my head I keep hearing “Just pin once more…..”

 

[David_Vi]

That's one of my favourite things to do when playing at home

I did it for around the first year of pin ownership. It feels wrong getting another ball because you're playing well, I don't quite know why
I feel dirty when I think about it now.

 

[steve brum]

one of the FIRST things any new pin owner does is play with the glass off and ahem cheat. Im testing it all works honest. novelty wears off soon especially when balls fly off the playfield and smash a backglass - have seen this happen. not good.

 

[Big Phil]

Forgive me, for I have pinned.

It is 1 day since my last confession.

The daily temptations are getting harder and harder to resist. We now have Ripley Alien in stock.

Once again, I kneel before you begging for your salvation to wash over me. I need it to fill me with strength and resistance.

Only the penitent man shall flipper pass.

 

[Gary Flower]

Simon Cowell has confessed to owning two pinball machines.

 

[steve brum]

A few folk may be here shortly to confess spunking 2k on a topper!

 

[Big Phil]

Forgive me gods, for I have pinned.

It is 25 hours since my last confession.

Gods, why have you forsaken me? The temptation is at it's strongest in the For Sale section.

Gods, have you abandoned me? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession to make, I'm no fool.

I have that "Just one more machine" hunger which needs feeding.....

Deliver me from the for sale section !

 

[Big Phil]

Please forgive me, for I have pinned.

We now have a TBL tempting me. I have had a few beers and I am weak.

Although I have been to the Amsterdam red light district today and may be selling up and blowing my load on something else.

A different confessional visit is in order I think……

 

[KendarTheOrc]

Forgive me father for I have pinned.

I have bought a "topper" for a game that hasn't even arrived yet.
But this old cookie jar memorabilia fit too well as a custom topper to not snap up.

£40 for something stern would charge £1000 for isn't bad

It is all ogre for me now

 

[Wombat]

Forgive me for I have pinned.

After promising myself only 1 machine I now have 3 in the space of 6 months, the last of which was bought in a beered up moment of weakness and for which there is no room at the inn and is lying tombstoned in the garage.
I am now looking at a 15k+ garage conversion estimates…

 

[Big Phil]

Forgive me lord, for I have pinned.

It's six days sin my last pinfession. May I apply for a season pass?

Temptation in the for sale section once more. Are you testing me? Surely this is the way.....

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

If not playing the games you have is a sin then I’m going straight to hell

In 2024 I have barely played a full game on anything I have The mojo is MIA , current whereabouts unknown .

Probably a good time to hit me if you want any of them

 

[Mooseman]

Temptation is all around me you sinners
I have fell on stony ground
I am weak
And still more temptation is offered to me

 

[Calimori]

Father, I have Pinned.

Oh why bother telling you, you know already. You are sending me temptation and how do you expect me to react?
I am a weak human and if I can plausibly justify buying a machine I will. If you didn’t want me to, don’t make them so exciting.
I will say two Hail Bride of Pin-Bot and one Our Gorgar.

 

[Big Phil]

Forgive me lord, for I have pinned.

May I take up a residency in here?
