Category talk:Unique Combat

Consider the following PM I received from (Dev) Marquis de Bordeaux. My response is included as well. I'd love to hear other opinions.
 * [quote="Marquis de Bordeaux"]Calvin, I'm actually the one who edited the Skybrary pages to change the category from "Unique Combats" to "Legendary Skyrates." That's our official name for them, and we'd prefer if people called them that.

Thanks, Marquis de Bordeaux[/quote]
 * Makes sense, but that's not a term used anywhere (that I've seen) within the game.


 * It seems that the term "skyrate" has changed a bit from the original intention. These days, the term "skyrate" seems to mean simply "player". It's a little weird to receive emails from "Calvin" who refers to me as "Boss" (though (A) I've recently read an explanation of this somewhere in the forums; and (B) I've only ever received two emails - bug?).


 * I am a "skyrate". I fight "pirates". I believe most players would assume the same.


 * There are "legendary skyrates", I suppose. They include Eltsina, Remy and Magnus (see http://skyrates.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters for others).


 * I suppose using the term "legendary pirates" or "legendary combats" (instead of "legendary skyrates" or "unique combats") may make more sense, but until there's a Dev Announcement or something, I propose we avoid using "legendary skyrates" to describe combat situations.


 * For what it's worth, by no means do I consider myself to have final say over what term gets used on the Skybrary. That's your (the collective, "Devs" "your") responsibility. I just want to make the Skybrary as helpful and as intuitive to players as possible.

Deletion?
Should we perhaps delete this page or make it redirect to the new category? --Herley 05:52, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
