Yes or No question..Do ppl have the right to abuse games on
location?..anything from keying sides and backbox to writeing names on
Backglass..I vote "hell no"

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

No, but they do...

Your location should be responsible for keeping the machine safe... that
should be in the contract IMO

But, look at the majority of them out there that are 5 years old.. some
damage of some sort related to the location

Rondondo, what I hear from you is "no, but I do it when I feel like
doing it anyway"

Vandalism - No
Rough play - Sometimes yes.

If a machine has no tilt on it, expect the pin to be thrown around
quite a bit. Sometimes its fun to have an epic game on a no-tilt
machine with crazy slide-the-pin-around-the-bar saves. If the op kept
up on maintenence, this would be avoidable. Heck I remember taking a
AFM with no tilt when I was younger and stacking newspapers under the
front two legs to make the playfield angle about 1 degree just for fun.


If a game steals your money, expect the game to get a firm punch to the
coin door. Again, keep your coin-mechs up to snuff, or have a
refund/maintenence phone # etc and that should be avoidable.

Some people will consider normal play on a game with normal tilt to be
abuse - it pisses me off to have someone running a location yelling at
you for nudging etc... (I dont consider a death save or a bangback
"normal" but an op should expect the possibility of these happening and
set the slam tilt slightly more sensitive).

did you mean vandalize? abuse to me means playing very rough.

no.

Is that going to stop them? Also no.

I remember an EBD that did not have a tilt. If you were not being
watched you could pick up the machine and do a quick save or something
else.

You have got to be kidding Karl. Machines are mechanical devices that can
malfunction. Or even the person before you jammed something into the coin
mech and messed things right.

You were wronged, but there are recourses, like find out who owns it and
request a refund. But because you were wronged never gives you the freedom
to destroy something that isn't yours.

Attack a $4,000.00 machine over 50 ¢ ?

I am truly amazed at your thinking. Lloyd

Do people have the right do vandalize property?

Since the customer supposedly wanted to play a game, you put 50¢ in, or a
credit on the game for them. That avoids you providing them with bus fare or
something. LTG

I would designate that as "misuse", not abuse.

What retard would actually say yes?

This is a dumb poll...I hate to be blunt, but honestly...why would you
vandalise pins on location? My vote is a hearty *NO* because even if the
pin is in poor condition, it's somebody else's property...not yours.

I'd think of the cost involved in fixing that ramp before ripping it
off. The pleasent feeling of getting your own back on a game will
quickly disappear when you use your brain and think about what it is
your doing! At the minimum you'll end up regretting your actions.

glued it in and ended up in regret)
