Savvy Swashbucklers - October 6, 2010

[Captain Del]

I hate how Disney potrays that a person who recieves the most votes is one of the most "savvy" pirates in the Caribbean.

I'll say it again. There are often too many pirates who don't recieve recognition for what they do everyday. Thusly, basing this on the number of votes one recieves isn't going to work. I really hope they actually pay attention to who the pirate that people vote for is, not how many people vote for them.

This isn't a popularity contest. They want you to actually state why they should be awarded the title. Still garbage though. Nobody gives a you know what about this when the game has been closed for the past 17 hours.

Sounds like fun but it is based more on popularity. I hope they won't just choose someone with the most votes.

I agree with that, but I don't think they listen much though, although they keep saying "We do just about everything based on feedback - keep telling us", I think they got their own business agenda, however in the mean time, I am not going to go antagonist either.

Igor agree with you Captain. Igor say that is why this weird little third person speaking Igor made a push for this contest last time. Igor have to say Igor not the most popular pirate either but was very hard working on several new mini games with many pirates, and has always helped anyone who asked Igor politely!

Igor think POF members should vote for a person we all know and love, that do alot of work on the Forum and the Game. Igor think we should vote Capt Del's new pirate the leader of the Guild conclave to Savvy Swashbuckler. Igor think it would give the pirate conclave a even bigger push to being something substantial and change the popularity contest to POF's favor.

I totally agree. I wouldn't vote for any of my friends and they wouldn't vote for me, none of us care about this, no reward, no point, no fun. It's just Disney putting a short article of why your a "savy swashbuckler" and how many people you help and blah blah blah. The people who win just whisper to all their friends to vote for them, go and make some new friends and help them. One of my favorite quotes is "Character is who you are when nobody is watching" Your not great because disney said so. Your great because you actually help, and enjoy it, and don't just do it so Disney will give you a pat on the back for help the most people in a day then stopping for another year.
