Talk:Bonney Pirates

Total bounty
Since we don't know if Bonney is the only member in the crew who has bounty the correct variant is the second ("at least 140,000,000"). Ruxax 12:52, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm in agreement. We know they have at least that amount because of the captain, that is a correct amount. One-Winged Hawk 13:20, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

The same situation is, of course, with Heart Pirates, Hawkins Pirates, On Air Pirates, Fallen Monk Pirates, Firetank Pirates, Drake Pirates. Ruxax 15:33, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Wrong. It is speculation to assume somebody else has a bounty. Until it is confirmed you are wrong to put at least in. SeaTerror 16:41, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

"Total bounty: 140,000,000" assumes that nobody except Bonney has bounty.

"Total bounty is at least 140,000,000" doesn't assume anything. It is true in both cases.

So, the first variant is a speculation. The second is not. Ruxax 16:48, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

I agree. It's best to leave it open and add "at least" to Bonney, the rest of the supernovas, and all pirate crews with known bounties for that matter. 16:54, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Yes it "Somebody else in the crew has bounty" Prove it. That is pure speculation. Nice try. SeaTerror 17:01, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Prove they don't have a bounty. "At least" leaves it open-ended, allowing for the possibility that at least one other crew member has a bounty. We'd be speculating if we ruled it out as a possibility by saying that only Bonney has a bounty. 17:13, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Buren of proof is on the people speculating, Oda. Its speculation saying there might be another bounty. SeaTerror 17:16, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * You have to prove that Bonney is the only person that has bounty! Learn to read and to use logic. Ruxax 17:53, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

No that would be you. You are using speculation that other crew members have bounties. Prove it. They do not have bounties until said so by Oda. Or I guess you want to claim to be Oda. SeaTerror 18:01, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I repeat once again: when you don't use "at least" you have to prove that other members don't have bounties. We don't know if they have bounties or not. So you are wrong.
 * When one uses "at least" there is no need to prove anything. The phrase "Total bounty is at least 140,000,000." is true either if other members have bounties or not, it is true in both cases! Ruxax 18:08, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

It is speculation to assume they have bounties. It isn't true until confirmed in the manga. SeaTerror 18:25, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Man, this is seriously endless!!! Here:

2.) Don't use "at least"


 * SeaTerror 17:27, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yatanogarasu 18:31, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

3.) Change "Total Bounty" in infobox to "Total Bounty Known"
 * 18:35, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Make it Total Known Bounty (sounds better). 18:37, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is awesome 18:52, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * "Total known bounty" is properly safer. One-Winged Hawk 21:07, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Poll Talk

 * When someone is being a jackass over a simple matter and refuses to see reason, polls aren't really needed. At most, the reasons for using "At least" are more convincing than what's been replied against.203.177.74.140 17:34, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Apparently saying something is speculation is being a jackass. I guess most editors on this wikia were jackasses at some point. 17:35, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Woah, chill guys, 203.177.74.140 I know you don't enjoy ST much but he is useful at times too, and ST, don't get too hot over this guy, he/she's just getting used to stuff. 17:39, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * @SeaTerror Saying something is speculation doesn't make a person a jackass. Refusing to see reason in an otherwise simple situation and creating constant edit wars however does.


 * @JapaneseOPfan It is hard not to get angry at this guy based on his insulting comments and actions. His reply to my comment in fact not only insults me but also, unintentional or not, every other contributor. This includes you my friend.203.177.74.140 17:47, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

And this is why people need to get sarcasm. SeaTerror 17:59, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

It's hard to get written sarcasm. Sarcasm is meant to be portrayed through verbal queues, meaning it's auditory, not typing. 18:05, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

I can usually tell when somebody is being sarcastic on the internet. Though there's also a forum of sarcasm where people make it sound like they aren't being sarcastic but they are. SeaTerror 18:07, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

I somehow fail to spot insults? Maybe I'm just to thick-skinned, but this isn't really something to get mad over...

Anyway, I don't like these options... both are speculative. The first implies that there is more, the second implies it is a set amount. I wouldn't use words at all, but this sign here: ≤ ( = or < ). Best solution imho 18:13, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

That would be the same thing as saying at least, only using symbols, and then we'd be back to square one. 18:17, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

We're getting off topic. The point of this quick poll is to make sure what the community wants. So far, I see the first option winning, and so SeaTerror, please do not undo Ruxax's edits unless the votes suddenly get overturned. 18:21, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Ehm, what is offtopic about my suggestion? Anyway, "at least" sounds more suggestive tho. It's like I would say: The Bonney pirates have a bounty of 140.000.000, at least!

On the other hand, the symbol is neutral, it is "sterile". 140.000.000 ≤ (point.) 

Just a suggestion. 18:27, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

It is a quick poll. Nobody said the poll was official. SeaTerror 18:29, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

(Editing conflict) Here's a new suggestion: changing the "Total Bounty" in the infobox to "Total Known Bounties" or something like that. Yatanogarasu 18:31, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Lol Yatan, I was just about to say that!! 18:33, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

This should have been put in the forums instead. SeaTerror 18:37, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Then move it! I don't know how to... 18:39, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Anyway, seems like now that I've added it, option 3 is starting to gain popularity. The problem is:


 * 1) Will there be 2 separate Charbox templates; one with "Total known" and 1 with just "Total" or
 * 2) Just 1 Charbox is fine, it's a pain to make 2.

Option 1 is like, since we know for sure some total bounties, but for some crews we don't so... and Option 2 is self explanitory. Which is better??

18:59, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

@ Jinbe: ≤ just means "at least". Ruxax 19:27, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

This is ridiculous. I don't understand why we can't just keep using "At least". It's direct, to the point, and most of the Pirate crews have been using it. Here, if it's really so hard to understand I'll just link to the damn dictionary. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/at%20least

And for those who are too lazy to click a link I'm copy and pasting from The Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

2Least noun Definition of LEAST
 * one that is least

— at least


 * 1: at the minimum
 * 2: in any case 

As in, The Bonney Pirates have at least a total bounty of 140,000,000. Why is this so difficult to understand?

Haha YD don't worry we're holding a vote right now to determine this stuff. I'll just tell you that the newest topic on this page is the voting. Sorry for the confusing order. Anyway, can you vote above as well? thanks. 03:36, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

I have to agree with Yazzy here. This is getting retardedly out of hand. There never was a problem with using at least to begin with, yet here we are, knee-deep in shit. The definition stands. At least is ok to use. Now, let's stop going round and round in this crapstorm and continue doing things as we've always done them. 03:57, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

For those of you who have no idea what happened to start this crap:

Well you see, it all started with Yatano deleting the atleast. Ruxax didn't agree so he undid those edits and that was okay but.. SeaTerror got suddenly super devoted into undoing Ruxax's edits and here starts the endless edit war between Ruxax and SeaTerror that lasted for about what, an hour and a half? It got so annoying to me that I just HAD to butt in and stop these guys. There was a talk, and right when everything was about settled, SeaTerror erased all the atleasts again and I couldn't bring myself to undo those again, so I started the poll. and here we are now. So that sums it all up. Please do not hate me for making you sound evil, SeaTerror, but it's the truth. 04:19, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm! It was me who added the atleast on all the SNs' pages, well I never thought it would go this far ! I should have talked about it first, and i dont see any problem in the "atleast" stuff , let it stay ! 05:56, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ahem, looks like changing the template to "total known bounty" won by one vote against "at least". Before any official changes, any objections or quick voting? The voting will end tomorrow. 00:17, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
