Voting Poll For Best Draft Team

[PhoenixKnight]

Strong competition in the voting!

[Valar Morghulis]

And the reason for this poll is??

I do most certainly enjoy being anonymous but since the poll is up, there are some words coming from my keyboard.

Stan Roger:
--------------
Very strong team. 4 players I do know the triggers of. Each one shows strength in their own as well as in a team. An able commander would go far with ths team.

Sir Henry Morgan:
----------------------
Good players. Mostly level headed and a wealth of experience. Easy to ascend with this team. Solid monetary backup.

Kart:
------
Good team but some rely on their reputation. Mostly level headed. Solid monetary backup.

Charles Vane:
-----------------
Good team. A wealth of experience and old players. Solid monetary backup.

PhoenixKnight:
------------------
Very solid monetary. A wealth of experience. By far the most difficult team to lead but has serious potential
if the leader has marbles made of steel.


I do not make an assessment of the teams except that Kart's team seems the easiest to lead and Phoenix's the hardest.
Each and one of the players are very strong on their own BUT it will be the leaders' abilities that decides who stays afloat
in the end.

Please vote for Kart's Team. He needs the gold.
He is almost destitute as it is.
Besides that, He is a nice guy.
He pets stray animals, loves babies, and almost never double crosses anyone.

Tough battle. Kart is heavily affected by the American elections, I bet

I am enjoying Kart's posts! I feel bad for Stan as his team fell behind in the polls. He honestly has a good team, but the people ultimately makes the decision. While SHM is leading by 3 points compared to the next contenders, it is still a tight race that anyone can win. 4 or 5 votes can turn this around!

91 votes has to be the highest ever participation in a forums voting. This number is however a small percentage of the active players so there is room for more votes.

[Maha]

rumours that some believe are started by CtHKTW say that Stan will throw his votes behind Kart, giving him a strong lead.

the Committee to Help Kart's Team Win has not yet confirmed that a deal is in the making.

I am still thinking through that I think is the best team. What I said in the "Draft Chit Chat" post about looking at the composition of the teams is something I have been mulling over while drinking my tankard. I have also been wondering about how this would flesh out in Avonmora beyond the tavern. Being around these parts for years now, I know that there would not just be 5 independent teams, but there would likely be alliances and chatter in back alleys between captains and team members to hash out plans. So if these teams became 5 guilds of 11 players, I am starting to wonder about how the alliances might line up and work for port dominance, wars for gold and status, and how the new map of Avonmora would shape up.

Many of the players have shown that they can respond from being decimated, and it would be an intriguing story to watch (and be a part of) unfold to see how things shifted out. I am thinking about who would end up being the strongest for a significant length of time (like Barbados was a while ago and the Pirate Kings were at their height). That team is who I will give my vote to once I have thought about this a some more. And after I have finish a few more tankards.

Smooth seas and fair winds,

PS I want to second Captain Dungeness idea to have one of these every 6 months, and hats off to Shadowood for initiating this and for the 5 captains (Stan Rogers, Sir Henry Morgan, Kart, Charles Vane, and PhoenixKnight) for making this a hard decision about who drafted the best team. I will post my thoughts on what would happen in Avonmora once I get them somewhat straight.

The Committee to Help Kart"s Team Win would like to dispel all rumors that Stan has agreed to throw his votes to Kart"s team. We have not been in "discussions" concerning this matter. We have not supplied Stan with a years supply of Donkey feed. We have not offered up our winches to them for the next thirty days. We deny all rumors of such activities.

In fact we confidently support Stan's team and request if you are not going to vote for Kart"s team that you vote for Stan's team. This by no means is to indicate we have an agreement though.
