Talk:Jack

Mammoth What?
Jack is the captain of the Mammoth... what? Doesn't the raw say anything else? Is it just that? KingCannon (talk) 01:32, November 28, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure who wrote that line but we must fix that

The Mammoth is a ship. Like how Going Merry is called ゴーイングメリー号 (Going Merry Go) with the 号 signifying that it's a ship, but that part is lost in translation. In the raw, it's called マンモス号 (Manmosu Go). Though the 号 can be a suffix added to things other than ships (like trains or even people lol), the word used for "Captain" (船長) that comes right after that in the infobox indicates that The Mammoth (or just Mammoth) is a ship. 02:15, November 28, 2015 (UTC)

Does that mean that this is situation similar to the Blackbeard Pirates, with ship captains (Burgess, Captain of the First Ship, for example) being subordinate to a "Fleet Captain" (Marshall D. Teach. Kaido in Jack's case)? KingCannon (talk) 02:24, November 28, 2015 (UTC)

I suppose so. 04:18, November 28, 2015 (UTC)

Alright, resolved. 00:00, December 4, 2015 (UTC)

Drought Damage
Do we really have to use "the Drought Damage" as his epithet? Sounds rather silly. Even if that's the literal translation, I feel like "the Drought" gets the same point across just fine. When you think of "Jack the Drought" you already think of the damage caused by a drought, not really a drought as a natural phenomenon. So I suggest we just go with "the Drought" unless the other Disasters' epithets tell us otherwise. 00:00, December 4, 2015 (UTC)

Bounty
The newspaper listed him as dead, and I seriously doubt the government thinks otherwise. If the government thinks him to be dead, then there is obviously no use for his bounty and it should be inactive. 01:48, December 4, 2015 (UTC)

I don't remember what we do for dead characters, but I think we should use "formerly" only for people who had their bounty suspended or revoked, not if they died. After all it's not the bounty which was revoked/suspended, it's the character that died. This will also prevent similar discussion for every other suspected dead character. Maybe Talk:Bounties it's a better place to discuss this, though.


 * Example: we don't use the word "formerly" for devil fruits in the infobox of dead characters even though they obviously don't have them anymore.
