[FSPA] Ghostbuster Proposal--CarPool

[steve]

 Should we have disabled Bats in BSD?  Or big bang in DI?  Holodeck?  Or force people to play modes in STTNG instead of multiball all day?
I think anyone who plays for this alone is only hurting themselves.  
I mean are we really saying "Hey, I can't win if people do that... so can you not do that?"
Learn the scoring strategies and pick one that works for you.  Feel free to play your own, I'll still work on finding my own to beat you.

 the problem isn't that it makes the game unfair, it's that it makes the game unfun.  90% of the players in our league are not going to break 100 million on that game unless they play video mode on all three balls.  a lot of players strongly dislike playing it for that reason.  it's just not entertaining pr exciting to have a skillshot video mode determine the winner for the vast majority of games.

 Given everyone has equal opportunity for the feature... and the game already has changed so its not available on every plunge.  I don't see the point.
If you want to take that risk for video mode, and then face qualifying modes... that's your choice.If you want to qualify a mode and play that strategy... do so.If you want to go for multipliers and play that way.. do so.
There is no disparity between player position or opportunity.  So i don't see why the need to nerf the feature.
It's not like it's the only way to win...

  Suggestion has been made that we adopt a local rule that nobody can select video mode for skill shot; or that nobody can select it on Ball 1.  
This is a pretty good way to salvage a great game for competition.  The 1-ball variation opens up even more strategic choices—Play a mode, or not?  
I think Bob was against this by the time we finished on Thursday, but he liked it when we started (Player 4).     
We were playing the other night and it worked out pretty well without video:
