Talk:Ghastly Gibus

Limited vs. Non limited

While I can see your point Seb, the original release of the Gibus was limited, with only 10319 being released, with each being numbered (Even though it doesn't show in game), thus I believe limited is viable. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 21:26, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

You can still dominate a player today and earn a gibus if you haven't already got one. It's not really limited at all. seb26 [talk] 21:29, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I am aware of that. And yet the original numbered Gibuses are limited to a number of 10319, which is precisely what limited means. A specific number are released. Just because more can derive from the original number make the original no less limited. Do you see? -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 21:34, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I see, but when you glance at the infobox and see "limited", then glance back at the rest of the article and see that it says you can still earn the Gibus by dominating a player who owns one... And since both the numbered and unnumbered Gibuses are exactly the same bar the hidden number... Yes, technically, the Gibus was "limited", but now it no longer is. The rest of the article reflects this and so should the infobox. seb26 [talk] 21:38, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Limited & Unlockable? --Firestorm 21:38, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Limited is misleading. Unlockable is what it should be. A trivia note in the article mentioning it was originally limited to 10,000 could be added, but that should suffice. seb26 [talk] 21:39, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

This is a truth. I guess for glancing factor, Unlockable should remain, no point in removing the Category as it is limited too. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 21:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

The above does not make it any less Hatty. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 21:48, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Category:Hats is added by the infobox & the hat nav. seb26 [talk] 21:49, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I needinfo on something

I've dominated 5 or 6 people with the hat on, but I don't get it. Please help. --TheChaosLord977 18:13, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

• Hello? Anyone there? --TheChaosLord977 20:32, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Can someone help me? Please? --TheChaosLord977 21:18, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Sadly, no. -- Vi3trice _(talk) 21:23, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

This is not a forum. Please don't try to "bump" your question to try and get a response. If you are looking for an immediate reply to your question, try the official SPUF. As for your question, all we know is what the Wiki page says. It may warrant further testing to see if it has been patched out, but for now to the best of my knowledge it still works. It's always possible that you're doing it wrong. -- -- 21:29, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Don't know if it's true, but I saw an interesting theory on SPUF today: that you can only get the Gibus through this achievement if you dominate a person wearing one of the original 10,319 Gibuses. Again, not sure of the validity. Dzjudz 01:38, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

If that were true, there would be far fewer of them around. -- -- 01:39, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Merge

It seems the 'Ghastly Gibus' no longer exists and is now called the 'Ghastlier Gibus'. RIP. Moussekateer 03:25, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Does "Ghastly Gibus" really no longer exist, or is "Ghastlier Gibus" just slang for "Vintage Ghastly Gibus"? Toomai Glittershine 03:40, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Toomai hit the nail on the head. – Smashman _(talk) 03:44, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah good point, I hadn't thought of that. So then the Ghastlier Gibus page should redirect to this page and explain the name? Moussekateer 03:46, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

There should be separate Ghastly Gibus and Ghastlier Gibus pages because they're different items. Steviestar3 04:15, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Dteviestar3. Leoholbel 05:20, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Uhm, if it's like Toomai said, I think it'd be better merge the Ghastlier Gibus into the Ghastly Gibus page. No need for two separated pages.--Kid Of The Century 08:02, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Let's do this properly...

 Oppose They're separate items. -RJ 16:51, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose Assuming we're voting on the merge, not the move, then yes, they are two distinct items and each deserves its own page. -- -- 16:54, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose For the reasons above. -- OluapPlayer _(t) 17:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose If they looked the same then I would have agreed, but they look different so it's not just a matter of a different name. Moussekateer 18:24, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose Sperate items deserve seperate pages Raptorbones 04:20, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose They have a different model and a different name. They are not the same item and they shouldn't be treated as such.--Jordan 11:03, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Ghastly Gibus Facts

The fact in the article that says Gibuses found in 2009 is wrong. I joined in 2010 and mine got upgraded as well. Raptorbones 09:07, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

+1. Supported by my own achievements list (got it July 2010): http://steamcommunity.com/id/pragmatic/stats/TF2?tab=achievements. Command/Control-F "grab". NSCoder 11:24, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I think both those occurrences happened because VALVe probably meant: "Any gibus' before the update" OllyTheMann 11:32, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
