#thief tags

[crokus]

All right. I need to do this before I go insane while trying to tag things.

Organizing the Thief tags. Long post. Probably not that interesting. Tags under cutoff because there are a lot. Here is my format:

Category

#tag name - (notes: other uses, size, time of most recent post. dead or alive.)

#tag name - (notes: not in use / has other use)

Alive tags are at the top of the category. All information is current to November 2021 and may change in the future.

Edit: these were originally links but 90% of them broke so now they're not

Also

the ones that prompted this post, saying that thief was too hard to tag

Ones I do not think are worth including but will mention anyway

the ones for other characters. i.e. #viktoria, #karras, and #basso

the tags I included above but without spaces / with typos

#t1 #t2 and #t3 are not thief tags.

a whole lot of others that were probably only used once and in combination with one of the ones above

#stealth, #stealth games, #video games, #video game, #retro games, and similar categories

descriptions like #steampunk and #techno-medieval (bonus: #thief 2 aesthetic)

level names like #lord bafford's manor

quotes like #ye shall not rob from the house i have built

factions like #hammerites

#not including thief 4

thing like #thief fanart and #thief art

#taffer, which is a confounding tag and doesn't seem to be primarily about Thief

There are also some I am intentionally not mentioning. And I'm sure this isn't all, but I think it's all the major ones.

[crokus]

So, based on my previous collection of Thief tags, these are the ones that seem (relatively) alive:

#thief

#thief series

#thief the dark project

#thief: the dark project

#the dark project

#thief gold

#thief: gold

#thief the metal age

#thief 2

#the metal age

#thief 3

#thief deadly shadows

By alive, I mean that they have a good amount of content and over 3 posts from 2021. Thi4f and varied content below cutoff. #thief trilogy is inconclusive.

Thi4f and varied content

#thief 2014

#thief 4

#garrett thief

#thief garrett

#thief 4 garrett

#looking glass studios

#stephen russell
