An anonymous source has revealed that there has been some behind the scenes vote buying and other felonious acts. Investigators have reached out to all potential teams that have been effected negatively by the illegal actions.

Team Psychodad has released the following statement:

News that there have been and still are cheaters in this contest is nothing but a travesty. We at Team Psychodad are working diligently with investigators to help find these cheaters. Please help support our efforts and the efforts of the investigative team in finding and removing these cheaters, by donating a vote to Team Psychodad. Your vote can help bring an end to the criminal enterprise of vote buying.

Please Donate Your Vote to TEAM PSYCHODAD.

-Thank You.

As the Accountant i have to ask a question of numbers.

1. there are 5 teams each with 10 players. that amounts to 50 players and tautologically 50 votes (cheating ignored for the purposes of this discussion)
2. to date 89 votes have been cast, which, assuming all who were picked voted, means another 39 players participated in the vote
3. according to the front page of this game, there are 16,473 active players
4. even allowing for some wiggle room in one of these numbers, that means some 16,000 or so players really don't give a toss about this event or don't exist
5. isn't it wonderful what you can deduce from numbers

[Admiral Nelson]

Think the quatermasters version of active players, are those who have logged in the past 8 years.

How did this get to the 2nd page? I think I'll bump it up.

If you count the captains, 55 players on the teams. But there are probably a few like me who haven't voted yet. The captains put together good teams and a good job on the blurbs. Between it being a tough decision and busy at work, hopefully more votes will come in this weekend. Deadline reset on Sunday, isn't it?

Aye look back at past drafts. Most votes ever was like 109.

109 fully active members.

As the voting closes and our agents fish up more compromising pics of the vices of the opposition, and line up celebrities to endorse us(we got Scooby gang and Duck dodgers, but we should have 007 pose for us before the end) we take a more sober view at the teams.

I would have liked to see, if BlackSparrow had to line a dream team who would he have chosen. But if not him, then William is the one who seemed to be the best observer of players. And he was. Got those with cards; then the talent and speed to use fighting ships well, and then the technique(B.Sparrow and pulpop) He even got those who work the forums, that's covering all bases.


Then team caladan. No philosophy, but he played the draft well, as players who line up to get picked into teams. Pick the biggest and most known first, before anyone gets them. Then make do with what you have and hope for the best. His early picks were impressive, once you have davinci and caladan, you nearly have won. But as it is said in the books, "but one sinner kills much good"
Not much philosophy here, except maybe the bit done by Amiral Nelson, see above.u

Team Yosarian. Team Tudor. Explained his philosophy perfectly, it's the traders stolid way. Though some of the players picked are not at all suitable for that philosophy.

Team cutpurse. He explained the way of thinking himself. Can't really comment, beyond tomlowe's magnificent contribution. That bit about 5 I's in individual brilliance, has sure got me thinking and thinking, of the manifold meanings of the words.

Team psychodad. If you hate and fear them, get them onto your side. Many guilds and alliances are based on these unspeakable bases.

So, if you got wrecked on a desert island, who would you have with you? The team that not only would help you survived, but even sally forth to wreak terror on the surrounding lands. I think, definitely not ss joker, that would end up like Lord of the Flies.

So William did a great all round job, covering all bases. But of course many people just vote for friends, without regarding the spirit of the fantasy, so that's that. As writ in Proverbs, "i saw under the sun, the race is not to the swift, nor riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to the wise but to all happens chance"
It was fun atleast.

Bump, and hoping team captain gets a few last second pics.

Bomont 2 points
1. thank you for finding the error in my math. oops
2. i think you may be missing the point as made by Nelson and shadow. in order not to appear arrogant and imply that all active players are interested in the draft, me feels there be 1 or two fewer active players than 16,000

As the time comes for shameless boasting (done elsewhere, not here) we may say this for the best team assembled:
Team Williamoneeye has the hugest number of Man-of-war gathered!

Look at the players, their reputation.. We got Will and black sparrow.. Not to mention what lurks in marina at pulpop.

Ps. If someone claims to have more Manof wars, post your SN
