Upon glancing at the tribe rankings, I couldn't help noticing a number of familiar names.
Rabid - Same name and CoA of an old W62 tribe.
PANIC - Same as above, minus the CoA.
Wobble - Rank 1 tribe on W65 (which I'm in), same profile and CoA with edited contact details.
W56V - Clearly an allusion to the rank 1 tribe, W2V, on W56.
1ns4n3 - The tribe that won W37.
These tribes have all been made, as far as I can see, without any endorsement from the tribes whose name they've copied.
This raises a number of interesting points:
Should these tribes be allowed to copy the names of successful and often much better tribes?
How far is this plagiarism?
Despite the unauthorized nature of these tribes, does using another tribe's standing give them an advantage?
If the tribe becomes infamous, would this dirty the name of the original tribe?
How many people from the original tribe need to be in one of these 'fake' tribes before it becomes a legitimate copy?
Will a tribe that uses the name of a tribe on a past world, even if the member base is the same, be quite the same?
Discuss.
