Our role in Tribes

[Nick123q23]

Everyone's been lamenting about how we're pretty weak without an update

So what about that new predator-heavy gamemode where the predators kidnap a bunch of people and tell them to survive the various horrors they unleash on them.

What will player predators be doing during tribes?

We already have a role. We either hunt the hoomans, or become a "Protector" of a tribe, which means joining them and protecting them from other tribes. One protector per tribe. This includes killing other preds that are hunting your tribe.

[Nick123q23]

Killing other predators to protect a tribe? That doesn't sound like it's honor code compliant.

[Boltersam]

But that's how Protectors work in Tribes

[Nick123q23]

Is that said anywhere? I've never heard of that before

[Boltersam]

That's what I gathered from what I was told and heard. Xur in particular was killing other preds to defend his tribe.

In my opinion, it would take a pretty big show of honour or an impressive feat for a predator to become a guardian of a tribe, perhaps this has happened already ooc or ic. Or perhaps you stumble upon the weakest tribe, so you decided to protect it. In this case, if a fellow predator was to attack the weak tribe you were defending, that would be pretty dishonourable to you, and it would be dishonourable not to defend it.

The only instance I can think of would be a clan war. Their way of settling their differences could be a war where they each have a human group to represent them. I've looked a fair bit and haven't been able to find any information on what happens when two clans clash (so to speak).

Yeah I think that too
