Felicitations Malfactors! The May contest begins today!!

• The contest begins at 5pm Today! (EST).
• The contest ends at Midnight this Sunday (EST).
• Whichever player manages to get the MOST TURBO LOOP SPINS during this period of time will receive a FABULOUS PRIZE with NO CASH VALUE!!!
• There will be a new and independent leaderboard set up specifically for this contest, so that everyone can keep track of their progress!
• After the contest is over, I will attempt to reach the winner through Steam, but if I can't get in contact with the winner within a week or so, I will go for the next runner up, etc.
• People who have already received a contest prize are not eligible to receive further prizes! They are still welcome to participate, but I'm going to select the best player who hasn't already won. This keeps it more interesting for everyone!

The winner will get a custom ball skin designed for them by me that will be included in the game for all time!

• This basically means I will draw a picture, put it in the game, and you will be able to play with this picture as the ball.
• The skin will be accessible in-game by means of cheat code from the title screen.
• The picture can be of whatever you like, so long as it's not explicit or overly violent or drug-related, or anything like that. Basically, I reserve the right to say "can you think of something else you'd like maybe?"
• This image will be an image, not an animation.
• The prize ball will not have any associated field effects. Unless I really like the idea and want to integrate the ball into the game and add the ball to the regular roster. In order for that to happen, though, the ball has to fit the overall steampunk theme.

Before attempting the contest, please make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the game, or else your score probably won't be recorded! And a quick note to all my hard-core pinball fans out there, I'm sorry the patches haven't been coming as frequently this month. Truthfully, I've had my plate full with all kinds of trying-to-get-my-thesis-done-so-I-graduate-this-decade type stuff. I also really want to get a website up and running for Devonian, but I've also been super busy with end-of-term stuff and getting my marks in and all that jazz... At any rate, I wish to beg your indulgence... NCC Moore
