Talk:Blitzball

message: Does someone feel up to fleshing this article out a bit? I'm thinking of something along the lines of the excellent Triple Triad article. In other words, more about blitzball as a minigame. This would also make it easier to move some of the images in the image gallery inline. If no one else wants to take a crack at it, I'll see if I can come up with something, but there are probably more qualified editors out there. <grin> – Seancdaug 05:25, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed deletion

message: Is there a prettier way to do this? I'm tempted to convert it to a bulleted list. :/ ~ Flooch 15:45, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: do it, see the result in preview and if better, then replace it Renmiri 15:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ewww! I like the table better, can we restore it ? Renmiri 19:45, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I agree. Ewww. How's the current one? ~ Flooch 04:39, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Much better. Leave it as it is then, I can't decide... Renmiri 13:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: eww, what happened to the table me and renmiri made? it was so much better, and well organized. -Xornok 19:00, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aye, I prefer it too, but I was trying to compromise, to zero results it seems. Renmiri 20:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I find that insulting to my efforts, Renmiri. I wouldn't say it's zero. See how you like the new one. ~ Flooch 02:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Let me rephrase it then. I was trying to compromise on the table, even though I disliked your "C" attempt, and preferred the table Xornok and I had. The zero results refer to my compromising, as you haven't really budged an inch in your quest to erase pictures you have nothing else to replace them with but a copyvio FMV on an external site . "C" is actually quite an improvement over your first attempt, as even you have admitted. Renmiri 06:00, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *points to the heading* I assumed you were talking about the table formatting, not the pictures. ~ Flooch 11:09, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Blitzball teams table

message: In WW2 wasn't there some part in which two opposing armies got together and played a game of football (soccer)?  If so, that seems like a connection to me, Blitz in the FFX world being the one situation in which all races come together to play.
:Why yes! Good catch!!! The movie had Pele if I'm not mistaken... and was based on a true story. Maybe that is where the game designers got the name for it. Renmiri 15:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe, but be careful to avoid original research. Sorry to butt in again. ed g2s • talk 22:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem, anyone is welcome to give their 2 cents... You are right, we don't have enough basis to affirm that game designers DID get their inspiration from the WWII game. Still, a nice catch and a nice theory that we can debate for ages - not here - but on FF forums like mine Renmiri 00:59, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Knowles - FFX connection 

message: It seems really odd to have two completely different things in one article. I think what we should do is move the FFX blitzball page to Blitzball (Final Fantasy) and leave the other one where it is. I think we should also have the typed in answer for typing in "Blitzball" be a disambiguation page, and/or the Final Fantasy Blitzball page. Anyone agree, hmm? - Raditzu 05:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree but.... This page took so looong to get an agreement on (see above) that I'm weary of changing it and starting the edit wars again. Renmiri 15:35, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The ends justify the means? - Raditzu 00:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree, It's a little odd to see a FF Blitzball page with some other stuff thrown into it from something completely unrelated. --PresN 18:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I prefer the version with both fictional sports in it, unless of course the one on "a seperate piece" can get more added to it. -Aknorals 08:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Article for Final Fantasy? 

message: wierd redirect of the disambiguation page to here.... and its listed on this page so it redirects to itself... i'm just gonna delete the link, cuz i was going to put a deletion request on the disambiguation page Blueaster 04:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  woa 

message: Someone affirms that both sports are almost identical. After reading a bit on Ultimate Frisbee I have my doubts. Blitzball is a full contact sport played under water with some very violent tackles and moves, UF is a mild mannered "sports honor" sport played on dry land... Does it even have goals and goalies ? Anyhow, I'm leaving the edit, slightly altered, but just until I see some reference or get more input into this. If no one volunteers more facts it will go bye-bye Renmiri 20:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Blitzball as an Ultimate Frisbee variant

message: This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it.  Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed.  I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy.  In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 05:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yay!!!!! Finally some common sense! I always disagreed with the Youtube link. (see above) Renmiri 16:23, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  YouTube links 

message: In the beggining it says about the two blitzballs, but when you go reading it says mostly rules and stuff about the non-FFX... It should say in trhe header or somewhere near the begining something like 'This article focuses on blitzball BLAHBLAH, for blitball OTHERBLAH see...' or something like that... 189.5.130.102 21:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
