Fantasy Draft VIII - Official Chit Chat

[PhoenixKnight]

I was wondering who will call dibs on Shadowood. About time

I’m just a washed up merchant. Almost time for me to retire and join Tokleu.

And I am a flamethrower

[PhoenixKnight]

Great picks Banger

[The Lamb]

I got to tell ya, these are some great, well balanced teams so far! Im just shocked we havent seen any dancing crabs on a beach

[DezNutz]

Definitely getting interesting.

William Pitt picks up Shadowood. Shadowood plays every aspect of the game. Were it not for the fact that he is the founding father of the VUDU guild, I would work hard to try to recruit him to the T'zak Ryn, where he would fit right in. Shadowood started this draft, way back in the day, and has also in many other ways been a very positive contributor to the forums, and the game in general. Of course Shadowood will be a great team member for any port battle. Well, unless the Flagship is released soon, of course. Then I expect him to hoist the black, and plunder every trader unlucky enough to get in his path.

Banger gets two members in a row. Stan Rogers is walking so quietly through Avonmora these days, that I feared he might be overlooked in the draft. But evidently, Banger knows better. Stan is still out there, now in Tokelau, sailing his ships and building his fortune. And who better to organize the defense of a port or nation, than Stan? He was instrumental in developing the strategies for Spain during many years. He is a planner, organizer and coordinator. Just what you need for holding ports over many, many years.

Next, Banger takes Jim Hawkins. A real Monster Trader, Jim has more ships sailing than anyone else. Which I appreciate as a pirate, of course, but I also understand the vast fortunes he makes from trading, every single day. Jim trades just the way I would myself, if hell freezes over and pigs start to fly, and I decide to become a full time trader. A well known defender of Spain in her days of need, you can count on Jim to be there when the going gets tough - and his contribution surely can make the difference between success and failure.

[Zephore]

I mean, each team is interesting, I must say

[Haron]

Pitt gets Lodswe as his sixth pick. Really, captains - no one chose Lodswe until now? He has huge plantations all over Avonmora, producing more goods than any other player. He has vast numbers of trading fleets. He leads the TUDOR guild. He rules Spain as King, and everyone knows that Lodswe decides what Spain should or should not do. Sure, he may have been haunted a bit by one of the other captains lately (the one you love, you discipline, right?), but Lodswe can handle that while fighting a port battle, of that I have no doubt.

And Zephore chooses Nelson. The most influential player in Avonmora, after his nice show of force lately. Nelson is usually more known for his skills in piracy than his diplomatic talents, although he also showed amazing skills as a journalist back in the day. Nelson is a fighter. Willing to give everything to reach his goal. There will be no punches pulled by this guy. Any trader fighting Nelson risks going bald from pulling their hair. Yet, can Zephore keep him focused on the task? No one decides Nelson's goal but Nelson himself. If your goal coincides with his, though, he will be a formidable ally.

[Zephore]

Oh, I actually forgot... He holds the title for the quickest rank up as well...

Top tier commentary guys!
