The Tao of Tribe
The Tao of Tribe
With Tribes on the mind, I find myself thinking often of an old tribalwar post called The Tao of Tribe. I copied this down to a word doc in 2011 and do not recall the op, and I only ever lurked on tribalwar anyway. Perhaps some of you may find joy in it.
i consolidate all ancient wisdom of dynamo tzu in this thread so it live 4ever in annals of tribe
the wayward son
was once a wise old tribe player who have 3 young son. he work hard as fisherman all his life & decide 2 ask his son their plan 4 future, so he sit down and ask them what they wish 2 be when they grow up. first son say, "i will b carpenter, will build ppl house, chair, table, bed. every1 will need my craft." the father nod and say, "this is noble profession 2 be proud of."
the second son say, "i will be farmer, will grow food and raise animal 2 feed all my neighbor. every1 will be fed from my farm." the father nod and say, "this is also noble profession 2 be proud of."
the third son say, "i will be highly skill player of tribe. i will master route of HO on all map, become expert of disc & master of chain, every1 will recognize me as goat tribe player." the father curl his lip and slap third son in the face and say, "play tribe is not profession 2 be proud of, is not profession at all, tribe is video game not srs business."
the third son cry and say, "but father u play tribe for many year y cant i be like u." the father say 2 son, "that right i play tribe, i do not work tribe. all these years i catch fish for u. but did u ever eat HO route? ur brother will build house, but did u ever sleep inside base of raindance? ur other brother will raise crop, did u ever eat bread made of chaingun?" son say, "ahh father now i understand. when i grow up i think i b fisherman like u." the father nod and say, "this is noble profession 2 be proud of."
the tao of tribe
the beach of lost goats
2 old tribe player were walk along a beach & argue about tribe ranking of home D. they argue for hour and finally agree on rough ranking of goat home D. "ok we finally agree let us write down best players of all time here on this beach" so they write names of best players on beach.
a week later the 2 tribe player walk down same beach and see tide has washed away names of goat home D. they say "let us carve name of goat home D on this wooden pier so ppl will always know who was best" so the 2 tribe player carve names in pier and leave. for many year ppl see names on this pier and know goat home D.
many years later hurricane come and wash away pier & names of goat home D are lost. the 2 tribe player, now old men, decide 2 build monument 2 goat home D as their final act.
they find great boulder and hire worker to move it near beach and men 2 carve names of goat home D into stone. finally the 2 tribe player satisfied they leave permanent record of goat home D.
a hundred thousand years pass & the sea & sand & wind finally wash away the names of goat home D from the great boulder. a shitty young tribe player soon walk by this large rock and wonder wut it doing on this beach. then he go home 2 play tribe. he play home D and dominate every1 and all player recognize his skill. when he go 2 sleep that night
he think 2 himself, "hehe, all tribe player will remember my name as goat home D for as along as that rock around on beach." and he smile 2 himself in satisfaction of his goat status.

an old tribe player was live on a dairy farm w/ his young son. 1 day his son come 2 him and say, "father, i want 2 play tribe ascend." the old tribe player was shock and say, "son, tribe ascend is not real tribe. dont u want 2 play real man tribe?" but his son was insist and say, "i dunt care about tribe that is old, i want 2 play new tribe ascend."

the father say, "no! that come from cow ass end"
the tao of tribe
the youth's challenge
was once ancient tribe master who was said 2 have best disc aim of all time. it was said he never miss shot in MA or on ground and his disc always find target. one day ambitious young tribe player seek him out and find him meditate on top of mountain. young tribe respectfully approach him and say, "master, i just hit 25 MA in game of tribe, how many MA must i hit in game 2 b consider goat of disc?" the master say nothing & continue 2 meditate. the young tribe player ask him again & finally the master say, "u can never hit enough."
young tribe player take this advice 2 mean he need improve and return home 2 practice. he spend many hour practice his MA and return 2 tribe master many month later. he find ancient tribe master meditate in same spot on mountain. he say 2 him, "master, i hit 50 MA in game of tribe. how many i need 2 b consider goat of disc?" the tribe master keep meditate quietly and finally say, "u can never hit enough."
young tribe player resolve 2 practice more than any man ever. for many year he use only disc & become master of MA. he become like machine of tribe and avg over 100 MA per game. finally he return 2 mountain of ancient tribe master and say, "master, i hit over 100 MA in every game of tribe i play. i believe i am goat of disc & respectfully wish 2 challenge u." the tribe master open his eye from meditation and say, "i accept ur challenge. u will defend flag against me."
so young tribe player find himself defend flag and await cap route of ancient tribe master. he very aware and focus on all known fast cap route & have many year of practice MA incoming capper & make this shot w/ 99% accuracy. after many minute ancient tribe master appear over hill in hvy armor. young tribe player immediately MA him but ancient tribe master shoot mortar & young tribe & explode him as he make heavy grab. young tribe respawn & chase tribe master and MA him three more time but this just propel ancient tribe master faster 2 home & he cap flag. young tribe player angry & say, "that cap prove nothing, i hit u with 4 MA." ancient tribe master just smile and say, "this is true, u did hit me with 4 MA. but u can never hit enough."
young tribe then realize wisdom of ancient tribe master's word 2 mean that no amount of MA can secure victory of tribe since it is only single tactic 4 single weapon & not useful in all situation. true goat of disc know when 2 disc & when 2 put disc away.

Tribes 3 Appreciation Post
Tribes 3 Appreciation Post
I’ve seen a lot of hate for tribes 3 as of late on the Reddit so I’d like to put it out there that I’m actually pretty happy with it. I’m not a long time tribes player, I started playing with T:A and I’ve played the older games after t:a pretty much died and only ran pugs on certain days. That being said, I like what they’re doing with T3. I’m grateful that we’re even seeing another tribes game. Even if the game is just to pull money for some other project, be happy we got another game. I’m even happy we’re seeing new game modes like honorbomb. If we could get a “ranked” mode of honorbomb with queueing for roles I’d be over the moon!
Please comment things you’re enjoying about T3 too, I’m sure some of yall like it

Starsiege Tribes compared with MechWarrior / BattleTech Clans
Starsiege Tribes compared with MechWarrior / BattleTech Clans
This thread is asking about lore/story elements, not the games themselves.
I understand the history of Dynamix and the original MW game, and that amusingly there's all sorts of franchises that stand similar to one another whether because of influence or past IP shenanigans. (See the history of Blizzard originally slated to adapt Games Workshop's games and then making their own series...)
But out of the similarities between Metaltech and BattleTech, what the deal with the similarities between tribes and clans? It's kinda amusing that both settings end up in a far future galactic diasporic situation where there are warring bands of neofeudal warriors. Is it because this is the most effective way to have conflicts where you have lots of different sides to choose from? I guess it's more interesting than CyberStorm 2's interchangeable faceless corporations.
I suppose one alternative would be to do what Warhammer 40,000 did and have different knightly orders in battle armor to choose from, but it lacks the free-for-all of tribal/clan warfare.

Tribes 3 feels like taking your most fun friend, shooting him in the leg and then make him tell jokes for money
The most shortsighted, unimaginative, sterile sequel in a long time.
I hope they're just testing the waters with the arena approach, but i doubt it.

I miss T1
I miss T1
I miss playing T1 a lot. It’s still my favorite game of all time. I played T2 some but IMO it just wasn’t the same. The rawness of T1 was what made it good. The fact that the medium class was pretty much useless aside from as an engineer to setup the remote inventory stations was perfect. Skiing not being easy or intuitive on your first plays was a benefit, not a downside. Remember how hard it was (at least for me) to drop a mine, and then mid air someone with a disk for a 1 hit kill? Base camping was encouraged and part of the game. Remember the games of Raindance where heavies would just be in your base camping up top spamming mortars and with turrets set? Glorious.
It’s wild to me that we have had so many versions of Tribes fail over and over. Why is it so hard to recreate that magic that was in T1? Why does it always have to be smooth and polished and approachable?

Why is it called “Tribes 3”?
Why is it called "Tribes 3"?
Are they just going to pretend that Tribes Aerial Aasault AND Tribes Vengeance AND their own game Tribes Ascend didnt exist? Calling it Tribes 3 is exactly what is getting all these people's hopes up, by implying that it is some kind of direct successor to Tribes 2 from Dynamix. But it's not. The name is a fraud. It's just another Ascend, and not even that. It's like they went to remake Ascend but ran out of budget halfway through and left most of the game out. They should just relaunch Ascend with better servers and hacker countermeasures. It would be a much better game. It's not like this new game has phenomenally better graphics. It looks looks roughly like ascend to me, but somehow manages to use twice as many GPU resources.

I've put a little over 7 hours into this game since learning of it a few days ago, never played tribes before. It started off great, but as the novelty of it wore off I've just been finding it less and less fun
