the last few weeks i spent vacationing at the cape.(cape cod for those of you geographically unaware

)
of course i had to check out a few arcades with ddr there..
and this one night i walk in, put my quarter down, since that is the general DDR rule in arcades.
as i was about to go up and put my money in the machine, this old man taps me on the shoulder and points towards 2 little boys.
"they have been waiting to play for a long long time..", he starts. "Cant they just play NOWWWW?!?!?"
as i start to try to explain to him about the quarter rule he just keeps yelling and throwing a hissy fit.
i start to give in and back down and just told him that they could play.
but lo and behold- -
this random kid, comes in and takes over.
strongly assures him, better than i ever could, how everywhere you'd go the quarter rule applies..and that its been that way for a while.
he basically shut him down.
and i got to play another game in peace.
that whole night i spent talking to him about everything(well, mostly about DDR..haha)
but i never got his name or anything.
i just know that he's local and stuff.
and i cant get it out of my head because he saved me from this senile 60 year old, and i dont think i ever thanked him for that.

sigh.

in conclusion:
has something like this ever happened to you?

Something like that has happened to me but instead of an old man it was a crazy woman. Her daughter wanted to play but I had my coin up. When I went to play she yelled at me. So I let the little girl play a game, then once she was done with her game she started to put in more coins. Then I tried to explain to her the coin rule but her mother screamed at me to stop harassing her daughter. I was then very frightend so I just let the little girl play.

Yes, but in different situations.

I have had small chit chats with other local players, but I never got any of their information.

Time to move on.

Can someone please explain the coin line thing to me? I've read the guide or FAQ or whatever but I still don't understand! Can somebody just list the steps - thanks

Step One: Put a coin on the machine
Step Two: The people play in order of the first coins layed down.
Step Three: Get your quarter, and play.

Example: You are the only person there, then another person comes and puts a quarter to indicate that he is next. Before you get done, 3 other people put their quarters up there. When you get done, you put a quarter there after the next person takes his. So you have to wait till its your quarter before you can play again. That way everybody gets a equal chance of playing.

...Yes unfortunately I have had to explain the coin mechanics far too many times.
