Many of us know how to access the Manager's Function on the old blue playmakers. There's a default passcode and many locations change it to their own liking. The universal "backdoor" pass code is known by many too. What about the new tablets? How is "manager's function" accessed and is the "backdoor" code the same as on the blue playmakers?

I believe the old code was ****. I have no idea if that will work on the new tablets or not. However, JESSE will know, and I will talk to him about this tomorrow.

Shit, I guess I goofed up. I had no idea that this was such a deep, dark secret. I thought that just about everyone, who is a Buzztime nut, knew it. I have deleted the magic code from my post to make you all happy.

However, I wonder how many of the Buzztime experts on this site didn't already know it, and I doubt that any of the uninitiated would have picked up on it, let alone known what to do with it, if they did.

Hubris is probably too strong a word to use, but I sence I feeling of elitism from those, who feel that only they should know the magic code, and lesser people should be kept in the dark.

p.s. The bad guys that you are worried about most likely know the code anyway.

Last night, if you were a big Pharrell Williams fan and really wanted to play last night's Playback game, if you stopped into Wallaby's in the Kansas City area, you would have been shit out of luck because some sandbagging jackwagon with the backdoor code decided to program in Countdown instead of actually playing a game with new questions against true competition.

But the worst thing was the person in question left after the first CD game and others were playing. Instead of playing Speed Freaks and Ask it Already they got to play even more CD. So not only do people with the code get to force their will on others, they can do so when they aren't even playing.

So sure, let's just give everybody the code so none of us can playing premium games.

Here's the Playback history of the site where I was last night.

Tell me exactly how I'm a "jackwagon" for playing something I, the only player who ever shows up from there to give them any visibility, would prefer over mindless dreck?

Why should people who care about the entirety of human knowledge that isn't related to the caterwaulings of some 20-something smackhead foist that crap on ourselves for the entirely imaginary benefit of a purely hypothetical pop-music maven who somehow would wander in at exactly 6:59:59 and grab a box if I hadn't selected more edifying fare?

Incidentally I can only recall one repeat question from that block.

What would I do? Check. I often do so, at home bars even.

Hey, I'm not a fan of PB either, although the upcoming 80's game is tempting. But I'm of the opinion that the premium/specialty game block should not be deselectable.
