This is a late-80s Data East game that's kind of cheesey but we like it. KEC's middle-era game is the next pick, Torpedo Alley. And this time the weed of crime breaks her way, letting her get up two games to one. The next game is bunny_hugger's pick of a middle-era game, The Shadow. It's tough being 1-1, but bunny_hugger's been there before. Once more bunny_hugger can't seem to get the multiball going, and KEC beats her out. The second game was KEC's pick of a modern game, 007 James Bond. Hopeful start while you can't win or lose the match in the first three games, starting on a win does feel better. The first game would be bunny_hugger's old-era game, Fast Draw, so as you already know she won that. bunny_hugger, keeping the scoresheet - she likes doing this, as do I, because we both know we do this right - accidentally writes KEC's game picks on the wrong side, so used is she to having the high-seed side of the sheets. For the first and only time this tournament bunny_hugger was not the high seed. I hope she feels appreciated for her work. I have the secondhand, vague impression there are club politics she's decided she is not getting paid to deal with, which is also a valid reason to bow out, but a sad one. She's stepping down as head of that club, saying that it's to free up the time she spends on this. It's the sort of endurance that earns people PhD's.Īnd she also has a narrative claim to the championship in her service to women's pinball, particularly in Grand Rapids, where she organized and built to a healthy base the Bells and Chimes women's club. KEC didn't she's just gotten a little better steadily, never a big jump but never a plateau either. I mean, everyone who takes pinball seriously improves, but usually they improve dramatically, reach a plateau of getting only a little better, then have another big jump, and another little plateau. She's been playing just forever, and has been steadily improving, like, all that while. KEC had good narrative claim to the championship. She's a good enough sport I can somewhat believe that. She said she didn't even care if she won, getting her name on the banner was enough. KEC was thrilled to think that her name was going to be on the banner, the one that hangs in the Clubhouse Arcade in Fremont where PH, state representative for the International flipper Pinball Association, has home base. The top finisher got a plaque, of course, but second through fourth got these nice rosette-bearing buttons bunny_hugger made. All the top four finishers were amazed they had gotten this far and were going home with not just money but also some hardware. When KEC beat SJV she seemed surprised to have made it to finals. Let me break format a little bit by bringing you the concluding round of the Michigan State Women's Pinball Championship.
