dont think anyone believes you can pull this off. Can you show us some
pictures of the most complete game you have?

What about your Crock Hunter target? When will those be heading out to the
dist. ?

So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of hell a-glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes! The danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing!
What is this, Wonka? Some kind of fun house?
Why? Having fun?
Awesome flick man!

thousands of dollars on the line, things should be straight up and
clear.
I wish you luck in pulling this off Wayne, but anyone who fronted $2500
based on what has been presented thus far is very reckless with their
money.
I know I don't have the stones for such a risk . . . .

But right now I don't see enough proof.
Don't get me wrong, I want this to be real. I want someone other than
stern to be in the pinball game. I want pinball not to die out.
phoenixarcade.com
factory will actually get that tour and see something of substance and
report back to us
Virt
And will our eyes in our lifetime
Fall upon a new machine?
And the unholy King of Payne
In backblock factories e'er be seen?
And will GI's most pleasant glow
Shine forth amidst TPF's hills?
And will MM be rebuilt here
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor flipper fingers still my hand
Till Wayne has built a new MM
In Melbourne's grey unpleasant land.

To those of you who plonked down some cash on this mirage, I hope you
eventually get a refund.

More on topic, I would echo Abby's sentiment. I want to believe, and
it would be good to see some pictures of an assembly line cranking out
Crock Hunter. It would provide the promise that other machines are
forthcoming.

don't - but do try and understand the strategy. If Wayne tries to get
involved in discussion here he will always be cut down. Trying to
argue invariably results in a lose lose outcome. One post from him
will always attract at least ten detractors - just Google to see - you
can't possibly argue with all of them. See what happens every time
Allen Shoppe tries to to post. Pinlicious jumps in and belts the hell
out of him every time he gives it a go - so why bother? Probably best
to just say want you have to and not get involved in the retorts.
Those that want some information get it - those that want to argue
about it have to do it amongst themselves..........

had more substance. If the project is so secretive then why post at
all? It's more like "ha-ha, we got the orders and I win". Yea right, "I
need 100 more orders", a few days later, "we got the 100 we needed by
posting here". Give me a break!

He is using the groups like others suggested- don't waste your time
here, make parts.
The idea is to use the group to your advantage. He alone screwed up his
rep here, so the tactic has to be brief. Post your statement, walk
away. You may get a lurker to buy into your BS.
I suspect this post was not to inform, but to try and get a few last
minute Joes who are going to get in. I don't trust him to have 1k
pre-orders that actually put down real money. I doubt he would ever say
that they did. Maybe some other trade (I'll buy 50 of your MM when they
are made and 100 of whatever other games you produce) or something like
that.
There isn't 1000 individuals on this planet dumb enough to risk that
kind of money on an unproven horse.

which probably won't warrant a mention on his gravestone, let alone
make the front page of the papers. If he does, it probably wont do
either also, but a few people might get some enjoyment from his maybe
foolish attempts at becoming a second relevant pinball manufacturer.
What is the problem? I really don't think that he is taking away from
others prepared to do the same thing - otherwise someone else would
have put the farm on the line and bought the Bally franchise. And
there has certainly been a lot more activity as late from others
entitled to make the parts we are after since he has declared his right
to do so..- that is in itself a positive. .And looking at TZ's
immediate
post - doesnt that prove what I am saying here...............Tom should
know what it is like to be on the other side of the fence.

So, you put down a deposit then?

You can put whatever view you want on it. I don't agree at all and I
think his venture could damage pinball or at least the parts supply. MM
is a good game to take a shot at a re-make. He hasn't shown any proof
that he can build a game and decides to risk a lot of others money on a
dream. I do have a problem with that.
Gene's tactic for repop BBB was better laid out than this...hard to
imagine.

hands. Look at the ball through and speaker display panel. No one has
the molds for the speaker display panel and none are available. The
ball through is owned by Gene. This will be interesting.
And the game will not say Williams, sure glad I own my game. It will
never leave me.

He'll never respond. He never does when anyone asks him a point blank
question regarding progress.
Bottom line, it will never happen.

I don't know this guy from Adam but he sure seems certain (from last

I can see substitutions made to overcome these kinds of issues. New
molds can be made, etc.

For example, TPF has already confirmed that their version of MM wont
have the plastic 'ramp splitters' that stop SDTM drains, because they
don't own the patent. To me this will result in significantly
different gameplay on their version of MM.
I wonder what other aspects of TPF's MM will need to change due to
patent issues...?

this asshole lose it.
I believe in the old adage "A fool and his money are soon parted" and
maybe if enough of them are there will be some legal action against this
fraud.

He wouldn't be if he would show that he has something tangible.
Pictures of his factory, partial product, progress, anything of
substance.
In fact, if he were to do so it would not only increase his credibility
but more folks would place orders. His silence says all I need to know
about him and his "Business".

with this asshole lose it."
I think that's a bit harsh Ron. There are probably a lot of people out
there that pre-ordered this game without knowing Wayne's reputation. I
hope for people that are a part of this group and know what Wayne is
about do not lose thier money. I could care less if the game gets made
or not. I just don't want to see people lose a ton of money.
FWIW: There is no way I would ever put down that chunk of change
without something in writing telleng me that if the game did not get
made, I would get my money back.

Considering some of the earlier flamewars he was part of, I'm more than
happy to see him sniping and ignoring everyhing after that.

just ask Allen. He's tried doing what you say - and look where it has
got him....

While I appreciate your concern for responsible usage of Usenet, you didn't
quote the article/passage that you think is not appropriate. Reading this
several days later, catching up many acrimonious articles on this thread,
I can't be sure which article you meant.
Quoting is essential because you don't know how all the different news
reader programs organize threads. I have a choice of several ways with
this one newsreader alone. Furthermore, your post above could be the first
one in this thread that I saw this session, after a few days away.

# 2- Talks about reproducing the most popular machines so people
will stop talking about the non-existing "BUNCH OF CROCK" Hunter
#3 Smoke and mirrors rule the day when it comes to Wayne and the
"fail to produce" pinball's after nothing but PROMISES PROMISES
PROMISES!
EVERYONE SHOULD BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE AND NOTHING THAT YOU HEAR
OR READ WHEN IT COMES TO WAYNE!!!!!! Save your money for machines you
can touch. I just don't want to see people get burned by the king of

Common sense dictates this response was to:

go die please. thank you.
(however I do agree with you in general RE: quoting)

via newsreaders, and some do not read threaded views. Also, some news
servers miss posts, so if the parent wsn't on Dave's server, the reply
was useless without context.
