Fantasy Draft IV Voting Poll

[Bomont]

That was a surprise. I had quite a bit going on yesterday so wasn't on much - I went from thinking we'd probably be able to hold onto 3rd place, to looking like we might have a chance to win, to

Being able to change your vote really changes the competition. It seems many voters, when they saw their favorite was out of the running, switched their votes to their favorite among the teams fighting for first.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone involved, especially the captains, donors and Shadowood, for being a captain and organizer.

Being able to change the vote helps in get the best team in the end! I was personally very puzzled in which team deserved this more. All the teams were very balanced in my eyes.

So my congratulations to Deznutz team for winning this draft. It is quite an accomplishment!

Perhaps the next Draft could be a game changer! Here is my suggestion:
-The draft will not have free choices. Everyone will have to first register to it.
-Every player that registers, will mention whether or not he wants to be a captain.
-If the registered ones are more than 50, then current selection system will be maintained (9 long term + 1 rookie). If the registered players are fewer, then the teams could be less.
-The registered players will vote to determine the leaders (the number of them, according to their number, max 5)
-Leaders will be able to select only from the registered ones.
-Once the teams assemble and the draft finishes, every team will form a new guild.

These guilds will start a war with each other. At the battlefield, for 4 (?) weeks. Maybe less or more. Even 2 weeks would be enough, with 3 days of preparation for each side. But that's under discussion, right?

At the end of this war, the voting will begin where everyone will be able to vote. The voting period should be long enough so everyone can provide their own insight from the war on which team proved the strongest.

That sounds fun

Not cost effective but fun

I think this is a fairly good idea - Assuming players not participating would agree to not interfere.

this concept could be applied in various ways. Your suggestion seems to favor general combat.

using this you could do the following team - Theme based competitions
Real quick off the top of my head.

General player strength / combat - what I think you are suggesting
pirate - raid plunder competition
Thief - ship plunder competition
Merchant - cargo movement competition
Developement - suggestion challenge where each team comes up with a development idea
finance - each team starts with x number of gc and sees what team can turn the most profit with it.
port control - someone donates a port temporarily - the teams must must agree to use equal resources to fight over the port.


I also suggest dual guild status if this became a reality.

So you maintain your current guild status, you are basically considered out of the guild, until the event is over.
However when the event is over you leave the event guild and do not have to reapply to your original guild.
Will work better for single player and very small guilds.

However you display the tag of your team guild -
once flying a team guild - you may be restricted to only team guild to team guild actions.
Like you can only cast on or be cast on by other teams or attack or be attacked by other teams.

Or just a simply a fight between the captains, last one standing wins.

maybe afterwards everyone gets compensated for their losses?

With the size of the Prize donations - it they were distributed correctly - It might help with that. Although I
suspect that would vary based upon how committed teams were to winning.

If you are suggesting a compensated event, it opens the possibility of this

How about a merchants vs pirate draft.

2 merchant teams vs 2 pirate teams - the merchants will have to ship a set minimum amount of cargo daily while actively trying to prevent raids, protect their assets and minimize loss, while the pirates would try to achieve and maintain the best plunder balance.

Black Sparrow your idea is great...

But I would hope to keep more ships on the open water then to have all active players "turtle up" and sell all their ships.

Banger would be even more bored then he currently is....
