Savvy Swashbucklers! - June 8, 2011

[Captain Del]

My point was that while we are pirates, we as moral people shouldn't stoop as to abuse a system meant to recognize somebody for their good deeds. You need to stop thinking from so much as a standpoint in the game, as to viewing it as the person behind the screen.

After all, if I really was a pirate, I would have more-or-less staged a desertation of my guild on an uninhabitated island and left with all the rum to myself - and as tempting as this metaphorical example is, it wouldn't be right to set my enjoyment in front of that of others simply because "I'm a pirate."

My final point being, doing the right thing, mates. Don't vote for somebody because they ask/demand you too, or because they're your friend. Stand up for the unsung heroes in the Caribbean, by finding the pirate you know rightfully deserves some recognition and thanks long overdue.

The winners should be more unrecognised, rather than the lot who hang around in Abassa Tortuga all day. I'm voting for someone that I trust and look up to, someone who has done good for me in all the days I've known them. That person is a secret, and I may tell when Savvy Swashbucklers is over.

I have always thought this contest was a joke and still do, what a waste of time it is. Like others have said it's a popularity contest with no real value to the game as far as I'm concerned.

As a maxed pirate who has been playing for 3 1/2 years I truly am getting tired of the lack of new content ( and the recent stuff doesn't cut it in my book) this game continues to provide no real next chapter or time consuming quest or anything of true value to pirates who are and have been maxed for awhile. I know I am not alone on this type of thinking.

I also know their are many on here who are Disney apologists and say "well you can always create another pirate or play the game with lower weapons" etc... well that doesn't keep the game any fresher. I may finally give up my paid membership for awhile and see if the game progresses like it should or if it just keeps putting out "filler" content like it has been. Bash away.

Well, personally I can care less of whoever wins.
We all know the person who bugs the most people,
demanding for people people to vote for them,
is rather.... a waste of time. All the person is pretty
much doing is wasting the person's time and their's
as well. I always thought of this to gloat about to people...
But, I'm starting to care less. heh..

If you want to break the popularity contest issue, I am asking mates to vote for the Dread Pirate - Jinsai.

In addition to being a founder who still regularly plays and an amazing pirate - earlier this year when the quake struck Japan, her player went there and volunteered to help the victims. She is a saint in my book and after all her efforts in the game as well - I know no other choice.

Aye, I vote for her every year. And I will do so untill she wins.

I really don't see what POTCO is doing here. There are tons of great pirates out there, and besides, like others have said GM's usually win... So all POTCO is doing is handing out fake titles. I don't know what they are doing, but whatever it is they need to step up their game.

[The Skirata Clan]

I really hope I win this time... If not there's always next week's competition "Savvy Buccaneers" or something of that sort.
