Talk:Tribes (video game series)

message: Tribes is a video game with the more commonly used term "tribes" as it's title. I am removing the direct link to this page when using the term "Tribes" only, as the term "tribes", as a social concept, will continue beyond this game.
This article will be accessible by using the term "tribes" through a link supplied at the top of the Tribe(s) article as well as using Tribes (game). I did not create a disambiguation page as there would only be three entries so far, Tribe(s), Tribe (biology), & Tribes (game)

replies: text: * I absolutely agree.  It's not a good change, it's without precedent (no "Virtua Fighter franchise", etc., or anything else).  Also, no one will search for "franchise" just "Tribes" or "Tribes Game", etc.  It's also not quite famous enough to get "franchise", despite how great they are. Terrapin 13:09, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Changing direct linkage

message: I completely disagree with changing tribes to direct towards tribe. Why would someone type the plural tense for an encyclopedia entry? Do most people search for fish, or fishes? Perhaps if they were searching for a list of tribes, yes, but then they would likely include "list" in their search terms. And saying that the social concept will continue beyond the game is irrelevant; this is an encyclopedia, meant to record and catalogue data. What you have said is akin to saying "well, since almost no one will remember it a few years from now, it's really not that important", which is defeating of the purpose of an encyclopedia in the first place.
I think that although the game will not likely ever be as popular as it once was, it does not forsake its notoreity via the term "Tribes". I am changing it back to redirect towards the game as I have a good faith belief that the majority of people typing in "Tribes" are looking for the game series.

thread_title: Large community of players?

message: Although forum posts by the development team were occasionally cited by the gaming press, the TribalWar forum site does not seem to be independently notable. McGeddon (talk) 15:51, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The article for the game which, itself, may not be notable - surely an article on a  website to discuss the game (one of at least three - the other two mentioned in the article) is not notable. There are no notable citations.  The site has millions of postings but many are just dribble like this series [  You raff yuo roose v.3871] 72.181.218.181 (talk) 20:19, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Does anyone have a concrete release date for this series?  It seems to vary, usually bouncing between November 30th 1998 and sometime in December 1998, though I've seen a few mentions of January 1999 as well.  This wiki page lists Starsiege: Tribes' release as December, however the official Starsiege: Tribes page lists the release as November 30th, 1998.  Stranger yet, the citation for that points to a page claiming it to actually be in December.  A few relevant articles:
* Starsiege Tribes is Gold - Posted 18 Dec 1998
*  Starsiege Tribes First Released Nov 30, 1998
* Starsiege: Tribes Release Date January 4, 1999
*  Release Date: Nov 30, 1998
* Released Dec 23, 1998
I'm aware different regions have different release dates.  I think it's important to cite the first official commercial release.EvanVolm (talk) 15:06, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
