Now that Leon has actually acknowledged the existence of clones (despite many verified sightings):
http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,8566.msg95650.html#new
I thought it would be interesting to actually catalogue official sighting in order that we can conduct some sort of census. To this end, please list occasions when you have interacted with a specific clone. Not having been in the Pendraken clan for long, I don't have many but here they are:
1) Casting clone (must exist as it makes my stuff);
2) Obvious existence of postage clone (it sends me said stuff);
3) There's a Leon clone at Minibits (it sends stuff too);
4) Despatch clone (interacts with postage clone (usually 5 minutes before stuff arrives) to say stuff is on way);
5) Met a Leon sales clone at Derby World Wargames (sold me a pre-order);
6) Met another at Derby, sold me some Minibits stuff (claimed to be the same one...);
7) Forum clone (never sleeps).
Please add your own official sightings / interactions so we can keep a tally.
Try not to repeat the sightings of others as this will skew the official data.
Current count: 7
X-box clone
World traveling clone (not allowed out that often)
All fueled by coke buying clone.
That's 10
Ah, but isn't the forum Clone just an intelligence in a box, like HAL in 2001? Does that count?
"Leon, Leon, sell me a tank or two,
I'm half crazy,
trying to get orders through,
It won't be a stylist paint job,
and the foot look like a right mob
but they'll be grand
upon a stand
but I don't really have a clue ..."
;D ;D ;D ;D

GET THE PILLS NOW
The clone that said: "No way you gonna have a Centurion" #11
The clone that had the mould made despite what above clone said. #12
The clone that showed said Centurion off, teasing fsn. #13
The clone that told fsn he cannot have a Centurion before general release (probably identical with #11 )
The clone that deliberately violated above ruling. #14
The clone that keeps on his Missus side. #15
The clone dealing with Dave, pretending everything is alright @ Pendraken. #16
The clone monitoring the Totty thread. #17
The messenger clone #18 to report any worthwhile Totty on said thread.
There should be some more of them me thinks... :-\
There's one currently printing catalogues, lasering bases, casting show orders, and doing some contract casting work as well... :-\
22 so far :D
There must be one that goes home every night and stops the kids wondering where dad is? ;)

HMMMM! so does Adele know which clone is in her bed at night, and does it actually matter which one she sleeps with ? :-\ :-\
What if she has clones as well :o
both being Clones are we trying to say in a very roundabout fashion that Leon and Dolly the sheep would get on well together
Well she was Scottish so maybe the accents would make communication difficult...

Well an interesting day here at Clonewatch UK :-bd
Lots of confirmed sightings around the North East.
Do keep your information coming in and, remember, that with plenty of coke and wine gums, these clones aren't dangerous.
somewhere there is photogrpahic proof of cloneville on shetland

Thought that was the same as Norfolk - inbreeding

Have you included the clones that deal with the designers ?
I think we've each got one....So that must be another few ? ;)

When you say "deal with", Phil, are we talking about the old whip and chair here? :D
Na - he'd enjoy that......
IanS ;)
:P ;)
Why do you think I only ever contact Leon by phone or email ?
Cheers - Phil
I always imagined Leon and Phil's working relationship to be more.....

Wow...D.R. and Quinch...now there's a blast from the past ;)
Excellent!
Nuke your parents!

No just means you can spell really difficult words
Lets not forget their warcry " Eat hot plutonium death you disgusting alien weirdo!" :D

D.R. and Quinch go to Hollywood:
"Mind the oranges Marlon......UUHSHUHFUHH"
Arguably, Brando's finest lines...
I coulda been a somebody...I coulda been a UUHSHUHFUHH;
Every man's a king...and I'm the king around here, and UUHSHUHFUHH;
What're you rebelling against, Johnny?
Whaddya UUHSHUHFUHH;
And the ultimate quote:
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't UUHSHUHFUHH.

To quote Wikipedia:
"two alien teenage students Waldo "D.R." (for "Diminished Responsibility") Dobbs, a scheming criminal mastermind (who with his pointed ears, green flesh, and furrowed chin, resembled a Skrull from the Marvel Comics universe), and Ernest Errol Quinch, his muscular purple skinned companion in crime, have influenced Earth's history in various anarchic ways."
Now I've met a Leon clone and, there is no way you could call him "muscular" so...he has to be D.R. ...scheming for total Pendraken domination...and he's green :D
Making you...Quinch ;D

I am going to dig out the graphic novel now..I think its in the attic
Not sure if these were my fave 2000AD characters, Torquemada from Nemesis the Warlock would be close
ME !! .....Muscular !! =O =O =O
Come on chaps....You're talking about someone who could be a body double for Judge Death. :-*
I can go out in a storm and not get wet by dodging in between the raindrops.

At the risk of being banned...have you met Leon...feel a new thread coming on... :-\
Leon, I'm really really sorry, please don't ban me from the shiny shiny goodness, please, sir, thank you. B)
Actually...I missed something huge here...
The ONLY aspect you challenged was "muscular"; "purple skinned companion in crime" you accept??? ;D ;D ;D
So, let's think...
There must be a Leon clone we have not considered.
A dark, insidious clone, twisted with fear and hate, lurking behind the caged door in the workshop, kept in perpetual gloom and fed cannibalistic remains of clones who miscast zulus or mispack League of Ratsberg as League of Augsburg.
His only source of light is the flickering green screen of his 486 computer as he reads every forum topic, and then hacks the thread to purposefully take it off topic...
23 :D

No..never met Leon....He's just a disembodied voice at the end of the phone line.....
Me ?....Purple skinned ?....When the temperature starts dropping to below 20 degrees....Yeah... Definitely.
Companion in crime with Leon ?....He's the mastermind....I'm just one of the easily led, naughty little sidekicks who does what he's told.....So...."Guilty, M'lud" ;) ;D

Harsh...very, very harsh...and funny ;D ;D ;D
Why do I get the impression that the hobnails of imagination are beginning to slide on the shiny surface of reality? ;)
Sliding Ray ?
Isn't truth stranger than friction (sic) :D :D :D

(Groan) You'll be getting an offer from the Sun to write their headlines next, Phil (if you're not careful). :D
I've met Leon once. I remember him as a helpful good looking chap, who doesn't look old enough to have kids.
I think its old age in yourself makes you think Leon is very young..My youngest niece is 21 this year, I could have sworn she was still 11
Having seen the X-mas deadlines I am wondering if some of the clones could be put to work to extend that deadline... :-\
Only if there sent to Royal Mail as work experience elves
I was more thinking of Special Delivery in person by the clones :P

I think a lot of our curiosity would be satisfied if Pendraken set up a webcam in their unit
As long as it doesn't point at the Xbox.

No your ok....Paying to watch Leon banging your head off the table at the latest request is something I can live without
though I did find this security camera picture of Leon showing the latest work experience elf round the Pendraken unit
