untitled[edit]

The link for Philippe Boulle leads to a Seychellois presidential candidate. It would seem unlikely that this is the same person. Or?

Not the same person at all. The Phil Boulle in question now works as a game designer for Relic Entertainment.

Simulationism[edit]

"Simulationist" redirects to "GNS theory". There may be a problem here, since "Simulationist" could just as well refer to Threefold Model-simulationism. Is there any way to make this work better?--Johan L 12:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Fatimas (linking)[edit]

Linking the Fatimas directly to the Biblical/historical people that served as inspiration seems a little odd. Even if the basis for the game characters is made pretty clear from the names, perhaps it would be better to add lines like "based on ___" rather than using the direct links? —PaperTruths 03:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Be that as it may, I added the link from Agnes to Saint Agnes. --Johan L 18:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Motives of the Z'bri[edit]

As far as I know, the Z'bri does not necessarily need human flesh. Rather, having been exiled to a dimension void of any sensation for a presumably long time, they seek to gorge themselves in it. Any sensation - pain or pleasure, theirs or others - is attractive to them.

Proposed merge of Z'bri into Tribe 8 (role-playing game)[edit]

Short (and unreferenced) stub about minor game feature that can be covered in the main article on the game itself. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:32, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support - unless anyone can demonstrate significant coverage in reliable sources, independent from coverage of the game itself (so not just mentioned within Tribe 8 reviews), this should not be a stand-alone article. Even if such coverage exists, I would recommend starting the work within the parent article, and split out if the size warrants it.--Alexandra^IDV 11:32, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Complete support in this and all similar cases. Newimpartial (talk) 02:16, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support - there is no reason for a separate article to describe a character in the game. Also of importance is that the Z'bri arrticle is short and can easily be merged into Tribe 8. Truthanado (talk) 22:21, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 16:37, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Map Pack
