![]() Source: The Internet Movie Script Database (IMSDb) > Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's ChestĪfter when the crew makes their escape the Pelegostos look toward that dog who always has the keys who was barking and begin chasing it. Gibbs: Argh! They'll roast him and eat him. See, the Pelegostos believe that Jack is a *god* in human form, and they intend to do him the honor of releasing him from his fleshy prison. He's a captive then as much as the rest of us. But he only remains chief as long as he *acts* like a chief. Gibbs: Aye, the Pelegostos made Jack their chief. Will: Why would he do this to us? If Jack is their chief. How he became important, this is explained by Gibbs in the cage Jack knew where the island was, he knew that the natives would be friendly (at least initially), and although he knew of the danger, in typical Jack Sparrow style he assumed he would escape somehow. So Jack didn't have to become that important in the limited time he spends offscreen in Dead Man's Chest he already was their chief, and this was his triumphant return! This also helps to explain how Gibbs already knows about the religious traditions of the Pelegostos: Presumably they had attempted to release Jack from his fleshy prison during his first visit.īut why would Jack return to an island where the natives want to kill him, and how did he get there so fast? I suspect both questions have the same answer: The island of the Pelegostos happened to be the nearest place that was safe from the Kraken. ![]() ![]() In the DVD commentary for Dead Man's Chest, the writers explain that the Pelegostos are the tribe who made Jack their chief-that is, they invented a backstory for Depp's joke for the purposes of the new movie. This was an improvised line, and at the time didn't refer to any established backstory. It’s a simple mechanic that takes only a bit of time to get the basic hang of, but then only a Tribes master can take full advantage of it.Near the beginning of Curse of the Black Pearl, there's a great gag where, as Elizabeth is falling off the cliff, we cut to Jack Sparrow saying "And then they made me their chief." The hills on the maps are spaced specifically so that you can then land in the next downward slope and continue skiing, building up even more speed. When you reach the next hilltop, you right-click to turn on your jetpack, sending you careening into the air at great velocity. You’ll go faster and faster, easily building enough momentum to slide right up the upward slope of the next hill. Now that it’s a feature built into the series, it works like this: when you’re on a downward slope you hold down the spacebar to start skiing. As we mentioned, when skiing was a glitch it allowed players to go faster than they were supposed to and created cumulative momentum. With skiing, however, it becomes an endlessly fun and useful mode of transport. This means you can do one big jump before you fall back to earth. Instead of corridors or alleyways, the Tribes maps are mostly a series of rolling hills.Įverybody in Tribes has a jetpack with limited fuel. For those who don’t know what the heck Tribes even is, imagine a sci-fi shooter that looks a bit Halo-ish (but its aesthetic precedes Halo), but what sets it apart from most other shooters, other than the skiing and jumping, is the wide-open outdoor environments. The main difference is that it will be a free-to-play game where you can buy loadouts if you wish. So much so, that I didn’t see anything new that stood out, so really it feels like Tribes 2 HD, which will probably make Tribes veterans happy. I played Tribes: Ascend recently at QuakeCon and for those wondering if the old Tribes has come back, I can say that yes, it definitely has.
