[FSPA] GB at CarPool (video mode)

[Dan Reynolds]

Hey folks. Just an idea / suggestion:  would anyone be opposed to disabling
the Video Mode on Ghostbusters at CarPool?  It's really dumb that 90% of
the games are won by whoever gets the most video mode skillshots.

There is a lot to do on that game, but in competition, pretty much everyone
just goes for Crossing the Streams, and nobody has a particularly fun time
doing it.  Video Modes are fine, but when it becomes all anyone does on the
game for points reasons, I think that's a problem.

It's gotten to the point where some good players have started actively
avoiding starting any of the modes on the game, because it gets in the way
of playing Video Mode on their next ball.  In my opinion, avoiding progress
on a pinball machine just so you can play the video mode over and over is
an awful, unfun way to play pinball.

I'm not making this suggestion to help myself, by the way.  I won group 1
two weeks ago by doing Cross the Streams three times.  I accomplished
literally nothing else on the game.  I don't think I made a single ramp
shot or started a single mode.

In my opinion, winning a round of pinball should involve playing pinball.
