I haven't received an email with my ukara number

What I meant to put in my earlier post was that many of us old gits have seen these alternatives come and go

Project Luther appeared about 10 years ago and the people behind it were claiming it was an all singing and dancing alternative to ukara run "by players for players". Iirc it died when people realised it did nothing that ukara didn't do, but you had to pay an annual fee

The proof of the pudding would be:

1) Would I be able to sign up?

2) Would I manage to make a purchase under its defence?

I don’t play Airsoft 

I do get involved with Airsoft 

I could reasonably claim that any purchase I attempt would be for the purposes of Airsoft skirmishing at a suitably insured site *
 

Except for the limited edition Agency twin Hitman pistol set:

At my friendly retailer …..

Look at our shiney things

Will you sell them to me

No

You know that I do run some airsoft?

Yes

You know that I could produce a complete game format, rules and structure reliant on those pistols in the next half an hour?

Yes

Would you sell them to me?

No

Would you believe me if I said I’ve become an airsofter?

Collapsed in a hysterical fit

Yep a massive uphill struggle - bit of a nightmare to be honest and not something I would want to take on. 

From what little I know..

- There is no charge to retailers
- For site admins they would have an app which would scan a QR code of the players UID on the day, has an offline facility for places out in the sticks

- Supports multi-site visits

- Once reached the 3 visits in no less than 2 months the player can generate a one-time URL when they want to provide proof to a retailer or 3rd party private sale etc.

- Player can view their own data, when and where they have played

Supports multi-site visits

Well, there's your USP... at least for players.

Problem is, that's a dis-incentive for sites to use it, as the current system has site loyalty as a feature (for them, a bug for players).

I really do hope that it takes off, but I'm struggling to see how it's going to get traction.

This. It's got to be better than some of the other bullshit defences accepted by some retailers
