Savvy Swashbucklers - October 6, 2010

[Jack Shipsteel]

From what I can see.. this isn't a voting competition. This counts on how people speak of this person, what they find most appealing about him/her. If it was a tallying of votes, they would just ask for the name of the person your choosing, not all this side information.

In my opinion, I can see, and somewhat like, what D is doing. Their tuning towards what the players think, and they want to find a people's champ. Only thing I don't like about this is the WAY their doing it. They publicly announce it, and in the end, you have a bunch of people asking for this title. I can't find an easy solution to this, but if they took a handful of pirates, all from different backgrounds and guilds, and then asked them who they thought who was the Savviest pirate in the seas, I think it would go better. However, there's still a bunch of side problems with even that.

In the end though, I'm glad that they're listening to us.. not just choosing the pirate themselves.
