Now up and running for your enjoyment:  Maxi Tune 3's.  First in Washington.  Enjoy!

I went to narrows the other day (sunday July 29) saw JJ and played some ddr extreme, it was fun. by the way Travis, JJ was askin for ya.

Oh yeah House of the Dead 4's volume should be checked because I think it's way too loud (loud enough to mess me up on Extreme). Thanks

there was still a nickel it looked like jammed in IIDX saturday.

also Initial D is messed up, something with 1P card reader and it won't start up.

Yes, BM and DM were serviced Friday night.  Good to go now.  Thanks

Yep.  I called this in on Friday night; am surprised it hasn't been fixed yet.
Basically someone removed a bolt from the hi-hat so that it can spin in circles; makes it very difficult to remain accurate when playing at high speeds.  Also, if it is not fixed soon, I am almost certain someone will come along and trash it even worse.

Also, my friend Pete called in that a nickel was jammed in the BM IIDX 8th's coin slot thus inhibiting quarter entry=no ability to play a game.  Hopefully that one was fixed.

DM10's hat thing is really loose...

$.50 Supernova because Bill is cool like that

Edit: They made a mistake on the machine so it's back to $.75. Still not bad

drummania works awesome and i hate when people don't know what coin lines are and take your quarter when you aren't looking.

Yeah I always phone; I just like to leave a note here because sometimes things fall through the cracks.

Thanks for phoning.  If you phoned, I am sure they showed up and took care of it.

Hello Bill,
Couldn't play DM yesterday because the coin slot was jammed  and wouldn't register input credits =/ Also lost 50 cents (managed to get 25 out of there but I didn't want to attack the machine for the rest), but no big deal there.  I called it in for repairs but am not certain if a tech showed up.

Alpha, glad its working well.  Enjoy, Bill

Hey Bill,
Drummania machine was seeing a lot of action tonight; that was good to see =D  And it's working just fine.  I even full-comboed the rapid hi-hat on pipeline, so that's how I know the hi-hat is up to snuff.  Thanks for fixing that.

SN has a bad computer.  Sent off for repairs, so we pulled the machine in so it would not sit out of order.  Will be back when fixed.

Supernova ran away? There's nor SN there?

Supernova ran away  :shock:

I've actually decided to forget about trying to get unbanned.  I'll just make the trip to Acme every so often to get my ITG2 and DDR SN fix.

edit: and wow, no one cares about Narrows anyway!  10 days and no posts since this one.  or maybe there's just no developments or news.

Well, one reason is people think it's too far to commute to.  I just carpool cuz it's totally worth it, in my opinion.  Also I have friends and my alma mater and many of my favorite places are in Tacoma, so for me T-town is simply the center of my life in Washington for the most part.

Yeah I noticed that less and less people are starting to go to Narrows even on Fridays. What ever happened to all the cool people like JJ and stuff? Great arcade it's just that no one really goes there anymore. Even I'm starting to go there less but not because I don't like the place....

KidTuesday-
Have you tried composing a formal letter of inquiry and interest of compromise to the management of Narrows? I think it's a conflict of interest for Bill to get involved, unfortunately.  You should try to find a regular who goes to Narrows and can vouch for your character to help you out.  But you have to realize that you have to do most of the work to help yourself out.

Anyhow, going to Narrows during the day is the same as going on Friday evening, for me.  Noone is there =P

Bill-
Anyhow, the Narrows DM machine has been doing just splendidly, man, good work.  I would, however, like to suggest that the hi-hat get a maintenance job; it is just becoming unresponsive to really light, rapid hits.  And I am always working on getting my drumwork lighter.

Other than that, the rest of the machine is doing great.

They would recognize me right away the minute I walked in the door.  I used to go there all the time, and they know who I am, regardless of what name I use...

Oh, and I think I know exactly why stuff happened now.  They took my name off the list because they saw me there all the time and knew my spending habits, or LACK of spending, most of the time, and they know alot of the money I spent around Narrows was change I found there.  They BANNED me because there was a complaint that I was panhandling (asking people for money).  Two things for two reasons, I realize, they just happened around the same time frame, or they might have considered my looking for money around the arcade a form of panhandling as well, but I'm not so clear on that, which is why I want to find out if there's some way I can compromise with those folks...

hah, I very well know he can. :-P   But banned person = loss of potential revenue.

lol it's not like Bill can't read what you just said =P

Do they know you by face? or just by screen name?

Because if they can't recognize you or if there's someone else working who hasn't seen you before, just put a new name on the list.
