was it part of the deal that losing teams will have this tattooed to their arms?

Amazing draft. Amazing experiences for all of us. especially for new players who dont know much about old sea dogs. its really good to have that kind of events to keep players interested.

But i must admit first draft had 99 total votes. i was expecting to see at least more than 120 votes in this draft. Between two draft too many new players joined and stayed in this game. But i guess also a lot of old players went inactive after first draft. Still good to see this event holding new best participants record as a forum event second time in a row.

About teams. All teams seems really solid, deserve respect and need to be feared. You cant mess with any of them. Even a war between these teams will change islands shapes in avonmora.

I voted for the team who deserved most to win.

if anything more old players became active again but they just stepped aside to let the new one's grab the spots

Should have voted for the team that overall is the best. Not just the best in matter of wars and battling, or most deserving. The best overall means that you analyze all aspects of the game and grade each team for each aspect of the game and also how they would function as a team. Then you average the grades, which would give you an overall grade. The team with the best overall grade should be who you vote for. If you didn't do that when you voted, you failed to comprehend the point of the draft.

Ok let me explain how i voted.
enough resource to stay alive during long period of wars or conflicts.
enough power to fight for a long time of duration.
theorycrafting and strategic maneuver abilities.
outsmarting their opponents moves and be able to nullify them.
High perseverance and concentration.
Power to decide without being affected by feelings.

Who gathered most of the listed abilities in same team got my vote.
Are they good enough

[DezNutz]

Vote how you want, but you are still basing your vote on best team in battle/war, not overall. All of your abilities are based on battle/war.

That's a very bad way to come to a very dangerous assumption. Do not count game activity by votes in the forum. What you can only count is the players interested in the event. That's the only safe assumption and still not very true as there might be interested players who might miss it.

Also, 5 days of voting is not enough. There should have been at least 7 but it wouldn't make a big difference.

Take in mind that not everyone is forum-happy. That's why such events are good; because they encourage people to participate (we got a special achievement called Community Motivator for a reason).

The 105 votes so far are good and Shadowood should be very happy for coming up with an event that is so popular.

-

To back up my arguments, think of the following:
-There are 105 votes here and 84 posts, but how many posts from different people?
-There are 1957 views, do you think that all who viewed this topic voted?
-How many are the different posters every day at the forum?
-Yet, how many are active only in your guild?

See how diverse all these are.
If you want official data, there are 7,183 characters. These are characters that you cannot delete as they are either on a short inactivity row or vital parts of the game for different reasons.

With more strict standard 2,938 can be considered active.

If you want to find the core active members, you only need to get the active number of players of each guild. These constitute a big percentage of the core playerbase.

This core playerbase has increased by at least 30% since last draft.
I think you can guess which is the best way to increase further this kind of playerbase: through newcomers recruiting in guilds. That's the best existing way.

Actually you right. sorry for putting it wrongly. As you said i know a lot of players not even using guild forum but still playing actively. just as you said less time for vote have a big role. And also we got more vote than before its also another success.

You need also to consider that a newcomer (where newcomer put at least 30 days in, if not more), who has no real knowledge of these players,cannot really vote here. So it would be normal for me if someone visited here but casted no vote.
