Alright you Scallywags! It is time for the 2nd Fantasy Draft!! Your Captains will be (in draft order):

1. Captain DaVinci
2. Slindur
3. Black Sparrow
4. Tom Lowe
5. Captain Dungeness

Here are the rules: These 5 fine sailors will each take turns picking an ACTIVE member of the game who they think is one of the best and/or who they think would help them in a guild/team like setting the most. Any ACTIVE member is fair game. Once that player has been selected they may not be drafted again by one of the other captains. The roster size this time around is 11. Once all 5 have picked their top 10 sailors, they will then select a Powder Monkey Rookie Player who has only been in Avonmora 6 months or less. Once teams are complete, I will start a new thread with FINALIZED TEAMS. Here all of AVONMORA will VOTE on who they think selected the best team. I will let the voting occur over a 5 day period. The winner will be the one with the most votes. I will award that winner with $10,000,000 shiny gold coins from my own chest!

I will update the teams after each round

Rookie Players can be selected from page 306 or less on the Just Joined Pages.

This will be a SERPENTINE DRAFT. Meaning, 1 goes first through 5, but then 5 picks again and goes back to 1 then 1 picks again and goes back to 5. Savvy? (1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1...)

(remember this is just for fun. Due to these 5 gents having different schedules please allow some time for this draft to complete)

Good luck to all the captains!
With that... Captain DaVinci, please make your first selection!!

Good day, gentlemen. I am sure all of you are eagarly waiting, as I am, to see what the teams will look like in this 2nd draft. All the best to the rest of the captains and their teams(and to my own, of course!). :y

My first pick is a hugely successful merchant, warrior and nobleman who is respected and liked, as much as he is feared - Sir Henry Morgan.

I have also been excited about the draft and wish my fellow captains the best with the draft.

With my first pick in the draft, I choose a strong nobleman who has spent much time in Avonmora developing players and teams. A great politician and leader who can rise from the ashes. I choose PheonixKnight.

Hello everyone....

It is clear that all choices are going to be difficult here. I have a very specific purpose for the team I am about to assemble. Hopefully, I can snap at least 5 of the initial names I got in mind. It's also a mind game as you want to guess which players the others will not pick in a priority. It's going to be tough.

For my first choice, I pick...

1.Jim Hawkins

You will find his Biography locked but I have been around long enough to know his deeds. He is an all around player in my eyes and above all a great tactician. I would avoid clashing with him at anytime. We have never actually cooperated (a pity). He more than deserves his 1st place in my team.

Sets rum bottles down. Gives clean glasses to the other captains with my trusty hook. Looks em in the eye and says
" Danik is my pick. When in battle a good sense of humor helps in numerous ways. Also he makes a mean Dung Pie"

As the 5th captain to pick I have the blessing of picking 2 teammates at once but also the curse of waiting for another 8 picks before I choose again.

For my first pick I choose Shadowood. I've known his since he started in HELM and I am continually impressed with his leadership and communication. I need him for a strong core leadership on my team.

For my second pick I choose Charles Vane. He has shown his abilities as a powerhouse banker and voodoo.master. He is also strong in leadership skills and combat I am happy to have him on my team.

"Round two" I bellow. Drinks! Not the picks ye savages. I need a master negotiator and extremely disciplined pirate.
Haron is the wisest choice.

It is getting extremely difficult already. A lot of good players have been picked already.

Not Skyhawk though.

A seasoned sailor who can find his way around. One of the most experienced players around. He fits the purpose of my team 100%.

I hope that the 2 names I have next in mind will not be mentioned...

Coming out of the shadows of the bar, I give some dirty glances to my fellow captains for their excellent choices.

While I am disappointed to not choice some players, I am happy to choose another salty sea dog who has been in these waters. After taking a swig of my run, I choose Stan Rogers, and I retreat back to the shadows of the bar mumbling under my breath.
