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. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] {{bur}} <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 21:26, 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? -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] {{bur}} <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 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.

:::::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.

This is a truth. I guess for glancing factor, Unlockable should remain, no point in removing the Category as it is limited too. -- [[User:Smashman|Smashman...]] {{bur}} <sub>([[User_talk:Smashman|t]] • <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004 s])</span></sub> 21:44, 26 August 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. [[User:Dzjudz|Dzjudz]] 01:38, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

== Merge ==
 
 
 
It seems the 'Ghastly Gibus' no longer exists and is now called the 'Ghastlier Gibus'. RIP. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 03:25, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:Does "Ghastly Gibus" really no longer exist, or is "Ghastlier Gibus" just slang for "Vintage Ghastly Gibus"? [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 03:40, 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? [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 03:46, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::::There should be separate Ghastly Gibus and Ghastlier Gibus pages because they're different items. [[User:Steviestar3|Steviestar3]] 04:15, 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.--[[User:Kid Of The Century|Kid Of The Century]] 08:02, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::::::I disagree with merging. Is it possible that new players (those who didn't have the Gibus in '09 or before this event) can still get the regular Ghastly Gibus? If so, it should not be merged. [[User:Sven|Sven]]

:{{c|oppose}} Assuming we're voting on the merge, not the move, then yes, they are two distinct items and each deserves its own page. -- [[Image:User Alex2539 Sig.png|link=User:Alex2539|Alex2539]] -- 16:54, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

:{{c|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. [[User:Moussekateer|Moussekateer]] 18:24, 28 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. [[User:Raptorbones|Raptorbones]] 09:07, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

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

Is it possible to get a Ghastly Gibus by dominate a player that wears the Ghastlier Gibus? [[User:SuperMario12|SuperMario12]] 22:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Gift Wrap?  ==
 
from several resources iv'e seen it would seem the item is not able to be gifted. can someone confirm or deny this? if it's true then the article would need to be changed to avoid mis-information [[User:HyenaDip|HyenaDip]] 08:02, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

==Get the Gibus Back?==
 
 
 
About a week or so ago, I upgraded from Free 2 Play to the regular account. Prior to that, my extremely small backpack was being a pain for forcing me to delete an item for every new one I found. As a result, I (purposely) deleted the Ghastly Gibus I got as an achievement item. Now that I've got plenty of space, I want it back. Can I simply dominate someone wearing a Ghastly Gibus to get another one, or am I out of luck? [[User:Superfield|Superfield]] 11:06, 18 August 2011 (PDT)
 
:Hi Superfied, I'm sorry to say but the Tf2 Wiki is not really the appropriate place to be asking such a question. The talk pages of articles are really more for discussions about the contents of the article rather than personal questions about the item. A question like this would be better suited to the Steam User Forums Team Fortress 2 section. I myself do not know the answer to your question, but I'm sure somebody there would. Alternatively, why not just try dominating someone with the Gibus yourself? I have the suspicion that you won't get the Gibus again though, as you already have the Achievement. -[[User:Mr. Magoolachub|Mr. Magoolachub]] 11:13, 18 August 2011 (PDT)
