@CavemanJoe

I’ll save Elizabeth and Doug some walking since I’ve fixed all these.
Bank 02: Data East (I only just last week figured out a recipe for the funky EOS on the Zacc one)
Bank 09: Recel
Bank 31: Williams, we don’t have the Zacc one but I’d love if we did, I think there’s one at Pinball Perfection but last i checked the sound wasn’t working (Zacc sound boards have the worst factory soldering I’ve ever seen and usually the whole beard needs reflowed)
Bank 52: 1974
Bank 69: Bally
47/85: Bally
El Dorado COG

In other words, all of these are the newer of the two options.

Zac games plastics are very fragile also…

After Pinburgh is over, I will report back here which of the popular names above ends up with the highest average qualifying position.

But how many Eriks?!? Please don’t tell me we’re lumped in with those Eric weirdos.

@chuckwurt

But how many Eriks?!? Please don’t tell me we’re lumped in with those Eric weirdos.

The player list is alphabetical by first name, so this would be a very simple thing to look up, Erik, but since I’m already adding to the clutter of this ever-so-important thread, I’ll save you the clicks and tell you there are 3 "Erik"s.

[Chambourcin]

This is the kind of analysis I come here for.

[Kouerson]

Proud to be the best and worst placing Duncan no matter where I finish.

[LOTR_breath]

I think the Chris’s have a chance, with Basler, Tabaka, Warren, Compton, Frame, Nosiglia, etc. But can we please add Cryss to our team?

[JBO]

Unfortunately, I don’t think Basler will be attending. Still plenty of good Chris options though.

With apologies to those who don’t identify with the other weirdos who misspell their name: in case anyone was wondering what this looks like when you lump names, you’ll find that over 10% of Pinburgh is composed of Michael/Mike, David/Dave, and Brian/Bryans. If you forget the name of someone you just met, Mike or Dave is a decent guess.

Top 10 lumped names represent around a quarter of total players.

Name	Player Count
Michael/Mike	42
David/Dave	37
Brian/Bryan	23
Matt/Matthew/Mat	23
Chris/Christopher/Cryss	23
John/Johnny/Jon	21
Steve/Steven/Stephen	20
Daniel/Dan	18
Eric/Erik/Erich	18
Jeff/Jeffrey	17

@Adam psyched for your post-Pinburgh name analysis

Remind me where the live standings will be posted for those at home that want to follow along.

pinburgh.com usually works.

[Pinball_Shenanigans]

Ahh yes! Thanks.

[PAPA_Doug]

This is more exciting than Fantasy Pinburgh!

[Sanjay]

Very interesting and useful information for people like me who chronically forget people’s names! (Sorry in advance again this year… )

It’s already on pinballspinner, but here’s the link to my strategy doc if anyone wants to download it prior to Pinburgh: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16ia86-J_EjJqfoKmzkboE_VnaChZ0BhDr34tzLA8XsM/
