Talk:Buggy and Alvida Alliance

Moved
I don't really know why it was made this choice to use this name, but if you want to keep it this way an admin should copy the content in this page in Buggy Pirates, then move that page here overwriting this one. The reason why this should be done is to keep the chronology in one page.

Yeah, why change the name?

Combine it all
I really think we should just combine the entire three tabs into one main tab, since both sub-tabs are rather short on their own. We can put Alvida Pirates history first, then Buggy Pirates, and then the third section onward is the alliance. 01:09, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan to me. 01:23, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think it would look good. Don't forget they have an alliance, they are not the same crew. 10:50, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

What Staw said. They're different crews and have a different history. 11:10, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

Keep them as they are. We have to remember they were two separate groups before forming an alliance. An alliance is not the same as a merger. You don't see us merging the Straw Hat and Heart Pirates, or the Kid, Hawkins, and On Air Pirates. Keeping them as they are unites them while still pointing out their differences. 14:49, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

More or less like the Saruyama Alliance? 01:16, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

The only difference being the Saruyamas didn't have any prior history before the alliance, unlike the Buggy and Alvida Pirates. 01:26, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Ah yes. Then about "Pirate Dispatch Organization", which Buggy now leads. Should we rename this into it, or make a separate page altogether? 01:00, May 25, 2013 (UTC)

Hold off on making the article altogether. We know nothing about it other than Buggy founded it. We don't know what kind of organization it is or if it's even run through his crew. 03:49, May 25, 2013 (UTC)

Split
I think there is no real reason why the normal crews should be tabs of this page. I believe we chose to make tabs simply because it was the first "alliance" we encoutered and we didn't know how to handled it, so we kinda "merged" the two pages. Even if both crew didn't exist anymore as they were, their pages should exist and stay otherwise would be the same as saying we should delete Baroque Works because the group was disbanded. So we should simply have Buggy and Alvida Alliance, Buggy Pirates and Alvida Pirates as three pages instead of this "thing". Even if the type of alliance is different, we should manage it like we did with the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. I believe this also apply to the Saruyama Alliance too.

I agree. I mean, we don't have the Spade Pirates as a tab of Whitebeard Pirates, even though they were essentially merged. Here, it's not even that. An alliance is not a merger. This type of tab thing isn't done with any other crews. So yeah, split. 09:24, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

Pirate Dispatch Organization
Are we treating this alliance as if it is the "Pirate Dispatch Organization" or we consider the latter a different kind (at least formally) of group? Because if we do consider them different then shouldn't we make a different page as well? On the other hand, if we consider the organization the "evolution" of the alliance, should we rename the page then? I'm aware that things are a bit unclear, but still doesn't change we have to make some decisions.

I was under the impression the Pirate Dispatch Organization was a sub group of the alliance. I guess in a way it is a "evolution" of the alliance. 01:54, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Move it to Pirate Dispatch Organization. Keep the alliance as is until we learn more. 01:57, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Give it it's own page

Joekido (talk) 02:01, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Let's rename it for the time being, and if later on we learn that its different, we can give it its own page. 10:23, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

"Pirate Dispatch Organization" isn't the name; "Buggy's Delivery" is. 104.238.32.62 12:29, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Buggy's Delivery should be its own page. We don't know if the crews are still intact and simply part of the the organization or if they were dissolved into it. But even if they were dissolved, they should still be separate pages in my opinion, because the organization is a different thing and was only formed during the timeskip. Half the of the history section would basically be talking about an entirely different thing if they were a single page.

So yeah, make a page for Buggy's Delivery. And this page could use some restructuring, cause it seems to treat the alliance as more like merger, which it is not. 13:47, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

It's not a simple pirate alliance now, it's a full blown organisation. It needs a new page.

13:55, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

We don't need to make a new page. We move this one and include the alliance part in the history section. The delivery part is a subsection on the PDO page. You guys are way overthinking this. 16:29, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

I already explained why I think we shouldn't do that. 17:18, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Kage. 17:36, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

I think the alliance was disbanded long ago. The alliance was referred to when Buggy and Alvida worked together to take down Luffy back at Loguetown.

However, by becoming a Shichibukai Buggy CANNOT have an ally, it always needs to be an underling. Law made an ally and because of this his position was jepoardized. Alvida has been made an underling which she doesn't seem to really mind.

This three pages should be separated (at least the Buggy Pirates should)

@Grievous67: discuss that in.
