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... (ts) 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... (ts) 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... (ts) 21:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

The above does not make it any less Hatty. -- Smashman... (ts) 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)

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. -- User Alex2539 Sig.png -- 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. -- User Alex2539 Sig.png -- 01:39, 22 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)

Get the Ghastly Gibus?

Is it possible to get a Ghastly Gibus by dominate a player that wears the Ghastlier Gibus? 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 HyenaDip 08:02, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

floating Gibus

Why does the Gibus look like it's floating above the sniper's head? --Waffleman 19:54, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

These discussion pages are for talking about the content of this article, not the game. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 20:02, 3 March 2011 (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? 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. -Mr. Magoolachub 11:13, 18 August 2011 (PDT)

Social Stigma

I play tf2 quite a bit, and I have noticed their is a large social stigma attached to the gibus. Due to it being obtainable by free to plays, the relative ease of obtaining the hat, and the fact it is often one of the only hats free to plays have, many players assume players with this hat are free to play noobs, and some people often consider this "the" noob hat. I personally feel like this is a major part of the hat, and think it might be worthy of mention in the article. Calq 21:05, 12 March 2012 (PDT)

No real reason to add anything about that, since its just opinion and not a fact. Mpnov 21:09, 12 March 2012 (PDT)
