Fantasy Draft IV Voting Poll

[Most Lee Harmless]

It's very simple : Team Kanga are the best for two reasons : we have donkeys and : the other teams dont. Nuff said.

Which donkeys? You mean those that I own and let you guys play with them?

Which reminded me you guys still owe me for the last visit

Not those scraggy Bonaire donkeys : I refer to the much prized Mexican dancing donkeys hidden in the back stable...

[Vandalaxis]

The deck of the Vandal Star listed slightly in the tropical breeze out of the northeast, the flag galleon handling the surf at least as well as the heavy frigates they had been playing shadow games with for a fortnight.
VandalAxis sipped his rum and coconut milk mixture on the aft-castle in the early morning breeze, intending to leave with the tide before the heavies realized that they had already loaded and departed. The thought of avoiding attack again brought a smile to the Duke's face even now, after all the cat and mouse games, the thrill of the hunt was still alive and well. A cry from the crows nest brought Vandal out of his reverie.
'SHIP O' THE LINE! LAR'BOARD!'
The cry floated down to the deck below, making the sailors of the flag galleon more jittery than it should.
It was time.
'Loose the top sails, gallants and royals. Helmsman, make for the open water. Full sail.'
Vandal frowned as he poured his drink over the aft-castle railing. SHM would not approve of the wasting of rum.
The ship turned and sped into the bay outside of Baramas, Vandal put his hand on his helmsman's shoulder.
'Make for that Ship O' the Line Mate. Full speed.'
As the helmsman quickly complied with his order, his Quartermaster climbed onto the aft-castle to join him.
'100 crates are secure in the hold Duke. In spite of our sudden departure, we didn't break a single crate.'
The quartermaster went back below decks as he concluded his report. Vandal turned his gaze to the rapidly approaching Ship of the Line.
It was good to be working with Thalius again, it had been awhile since Vandal had seen the man. Long enough for Thalius to put his flag over the port of Baramas.
The booming of cannons behind the ship didn't break Vandal's thoughts, though it got the attention of the crew. Vandal took humor in the shock on his crews faces as the cannon fire came from shore side and not the group of large ships they were headed for.
'HEAVIES! THREE GROUPS!'
The second cry from the crows nest was not lost on the crew of the Vandal Star. Lines were tightened and cannons loaded with speed. The saltwater splashes around the ship signaled that the heavies were gaining on the lumbering galleon just out of range of the frigates fore guns. They had been spotted, right on time no less.
'Is this not madness Duke? We stand exposed Sir and we'll never outrun those heavies in the Star. You have to know she's no match for those line ships OR the heavies.'
Vandal's first mate was not privy to the operation at all. In fact, Thalius was the only man within 500 leagues that knew anything about what they were doing in Baramas in the first place.
'Calm yourself Mate. Taste the salt in the air and settle those nerves of yours. The line ships are mine. That's the Achilles we're headed for. The Star may be no match for those heavies, but Achilles will certainly give them a show.'
Vandal suddenly wanted his rum back.
His first mate grinned as he heard the words, as if suddenly realizing that this was a planned endeavor. Thalius had distracted their hunters for more than long enough.
'It's still not like you to be exposed Duke. Wasn't it you that has always said "Anonymity is the best defense of a savvy trader." ??'
Vandal smirked at his first mate's words because the man was right. Being known in these waters was a dangerous gambit.
'True enough Mate, but when your friend calls on you for something, you respond. Shadow wants this cargo in Goroum, so he shall have it.'
Vandal poured more rum into a coconut shell as he spoke, the Achilles looming starboard now and moving to intercept the chasing heavies. Her captain giving a friendly salute to the men on the aft-castle of the Star.
'Yes Duke, obviously. The men were a bit nervous when you had decided to captain us yourself. We all knew that something was up.'
Vandal frowned at that statement and thought a moment before responding. Sipping on the rum mixture while he did so.
'The men are skittish enough to be mistaken for little girls Mate. Perhaps I should not be so lenient with the lash in the future.'
Vandal's tone was quiet. Not so that he couldn't heard by the crew but because there could be no room for fear in the hearts of his men.
'I meant no offense Duke, it's just that this whole thing is far from the normal operations we're used to. This cargo must be very important and valuable.'
Vandal smirked again.
'No Mate. Quite the opposite actually.'
Vandal's smirk grew wider as a cacophony of cannon fire erupted behind the Star. The Achilles had engaged their hunters.
'Helmsman, make for Goroum with all speed.'
Vandal climbed down into the captains cabin as the cannon fire raged behind in their wake. His own mind strayed to the task at hand and possible reasons why they were here. Shadow had indicated that he only wanted a few of them, but Vandal wasn't going to turn up with only a few to give to Shadow and possibly have none of them suitable to his friends needs. Standing over the map of Avonmora, he couldn't help but wonder himself why the hold was full of fools gold in the shape of an ass.

Not those scraggy Bonaire donkeys : I refer to the much prized Mexican dancing donkeys hidden in the back stable...

Last what I heard someone from spain I won't name that person kangaroo came to me asking for few donkeys as according to that unnamed player kangaroo he/she played with those donkeys and that playtime wdnt too far he/she used whip too much and donkeys died... So ask yourself are those donkeys really those same mexican donkeys which you left...

[Kangaroo]

Likewise, I find the poll useless in its current form.

There is no way to tell why votes are cast for the teams.

A possible Reasons for vote choice

1 though it was the best team
2 it was the team i was on
3 its my friends team
4 i dont like player on team x so i voted for team y
5 i dont like team y so i voted for team z
6someone paid me
7 ive been inactive but got an email / phone call
From an old Pg friend, saying need a favor, log in and vote for me
8 I suppose fraudulent voting could also occur.



I would love to see an open ballot poll.
Would be interesting to see who was voting as well as
Why they voted the way they did if they were willing to share that information.

Happy to see some player volunnteering this information reguardless.

I voted for Roo's team.
He is a dickhead to be sure, but unlike the other dickheads I can see him and therefore don't have to trust him out of sight

There are some people taking an informal forum poll way too seriously..

And I never abuse donkeys Wolfie, made an ass of myself way too often to be playing there

[Sebena]

I never said you were the one but since you admitted yourself I have no obligation to keep secret no more. I never asked what happen I said what is story in the tavern.

[Meliva]

A few reasons I can state why Kangaroo is the best team.

1-As Danik said before-we have donkeys. One of the greatest and most popular animals of all time- And lets face it, everyone loves a nice ass
2- We have kangaroos-one of the toughest and greatest mammals. You ever see one fight? Can easily take down most foes.
3-Apparently according to kangaroo I'm an elf and didn't know it. So a vote for our team, and I guarantee you will be on the nice list this Christmas no matter what.
4-A vote for other teams may result in a ban from a certain angry mod

Kangaroos taste great, but that's no reason to vote for them.

In avonmora, there is no such thing, there is only the press gang.
