Re: How many candies are in the Uk?
Someone explained to me before that the Trocedero Versus Cities were only ever there for an Alpha 3 tournament, and were actually brought in via America.
The person who brought them just never shipped them back.

Re: How many candies are in the Uk?
I've heard that too but judging by how much cabs cost back then it sounds a bit far fetched.

Re: How many candies are in the Uk?

I have a Blast to add to that total...o1s1n wrote:I know of 5 AWSDs, 1 Egret II, 1 Egret III, 1 SNK Candy, 1 Jaleco Pony M3, 1 Capcom Cute, 1 Blast and 3 Astros in Ireland if that's any use to your figures...
I'd say the numbers here are far far lower than in the UK. Only place we can really get them now is Ronnie.

Re: How many candies are in the Uk?
I think this is a great topic, obviously we can only make educated guesses but I reckon there's more than you would at first think but then again wtf do I know
Would be really interesting to maintain a list of what cabs AO members own.
Just thinking aloud as there's probably gonna be no interest in it but it could be discreet and members could pm whoever maintains the list with I have x cabs and purely keep it a list of cabs and how many are in members possession.

I suggested this as an idea in the mod area a while back and got laughed at.Paulie wrote:I think this is a great topic, obviously we can only make educated guesses but I reckon there's more than you would at first think but then again wtf do I know

Re: How many candies are in the Uk?
Would it offend any mods if I were to try and get a thread going?
I really think it would be an interesting and useful thing to do, of course it could only ever paint part of the picture but still. Obviously if has no interest etc then it would just fall on its ****.

I didn't laugh DS
Like Paulie, I reckon there's more than we'd assume. My guess is completely uneducated but even 500 seems conservative. it's easy to get to 100 with just 4 or 5 locations.
Also, what do you include? Counting Naomi's would probably double the total figure.

Re: How many candies are in the Uk?
Most likely the initial filling of such a list would go great; the keeping it up-to-date part not so much

Re: How many candies are in the Uk?
Go ahead and attempt it Paulie, I'd be interested to see where it goes. Maybe build a spreadsheet into the wiki or something.
We could keep track of the cab (by serial if they have them), when it entered the UK (if known), who has owned it, what changes were made during ownership, who has it currently etc.

I reckon that, coupled with getting folks involved will be the main challenges, but we will see where it goes.arcnl wrote:Most likely the initial filling of such a list would go great; the keeping it up-to-date part not so much

Re: How many candies are in the Uk?
Is it possibe to like add a field in user profiles, maybe a selection of drop downs, then this can be collated in some sort of summary on the board?
