Fantasy Draft IX - The Rookie Captains Draft



Ahoy Mateys! The Community Admin (CA) Team would like to announce the upcoming event, Pirates Glory Fantasy Draft IX - The Rookie Captains Draft.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Pirates Glory Fantasy Draft, it is a forum competition where 5 volunteer player captains select teams of 10 active players one player at a time to form a team that the captain thinks will achieve the drafts stated purpose of the team. Once teams are determined, the captains write up a short blurb about their team and the community votes on the teams. Winning team receives a special achievement, All others in the draft receive a draft achievement. Monetary Prizes are divided up amongst the teams based on where they position in the vote. The most recent draft's prizes totaled over 3 Billion gold coin.

EXPECTED START:

March 2022 - Specific Dates will be provided closer to the draft and once captains are finalized.

CAPTAINS:

In previous drafts, Captain selection was done in the background through game PMs. In effort to be reduce possible complaints on the selection process, the Community Admin Team is making an open request for Captains. For this draft, and in part due to the long period of time since the last draft, to be considered a Rookie Captain the volunteering captain must be an active player who joined between day 2753 and 3399. (March 25, 2020 and December 31, 2021)

Player ID's between 92200 and 100800. If your ID falls outside of this range and you believe you have circumstances that could quantify you as a rookie captain, you can submit for consideration.

In the event, there are more than 5 volunteers, a vote amongst those that volunteered will determine who will be the starting Captains and who will be the alternates in the event a captain cannot participate.

Additionally, it is highly recommended that those volunteering to be a Captain join SLACK. There will be a dedicated private Channel setup for Captains in effort to coordinate a start time and ensure all the rules are understood. You can access SLACK from in game via the Chat Button on the lower left corner. This is not a requirement.

If you are interesting in becoming a Captain, please message DezNutz (#54689) or Meliva (#58298) in game. OR send a direct message (DM) to us in SLACK.



GOAL:

Best Overall Team

RULES:
The draft rules have been set as below:
Spoiler: show
A Total of 10 Rounds.

A Captain must select at least one (1) rookie on their team during the 10 rounds of play. If a rookie has not been selected by the 10th Round, the Captain must select a rookie during that round.

Players selected must have been active in the past 14 days. Proof of activity must be apparent.

Bribing of fantasy draft votes is strictly prohibited. Making accounts to add votes into the fantasy draft is also strictly prohibited.

Active is defined as more than just logging in logging out. Real activity in plunder/skirmishes and active routes must be obvious.

An eligible player must be running at least 10 ships. Special exceptions are made to those who run less, as long as they are not a witch doctor.

A player who is a witch doctor or consistently uses a griefing playstyle is ineligible for draft selection. A witch doctor, in general, is someone who runs little to no ships, casts only offensive voodoo, and makes no attempt to gain profit from the casting of said voodoo. Not all players who fall within the general definition of a witch doctor are actually witch doctors.

A determination will be made by the community administration, upon request of a Team Captain, if a selected player is ineligible.

Anyone, who is picked on a draft team and is caught accepting bribes for votes, shall lead to the removal of either: the team for the draft, or the player from said team. Said player will not receive payouts or donations. If a team is removed from the draft, prizes will be redistributed evenly across the remaining teams.

Rookie ID’s are active players who joined between day 3003 and day 3430.

This will be a SERPENTINE DRAFT. Meaning, 1 goes first through 5, but then 5 picks again and goes back to 1 then 1 picks again and goes back to 5. (1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1...)

An updated Team Listing will be provided upon completion of each round.

Upon completion of the draft picks, the captains will be required to write a BLURB about their team to be posted in the Voting Topic.

Certain players have elected to not participate in the Draft. These players cannot be selected by a Captain. A list of these players will be provided at the start of the draft.



PRIZES:

Base Prizes: 1500 Credits Total
1st Place Team - 500 Credits
2nd Place Team - 400 Credits
3rd Place Team - 300 Credits
4th Place Team - 200 Credits
5th Place Team - 100 Credits

Donated Prizes will be divided up using the standard 37%, 25%, 17.5%, 12.5%, and 8% breakdown for 1st through 5th place respectively, unless notated by the donating party.

DO NOT POST DONATIONS TO THIS EVENT ON THIS TOPIC. A DONATIONS TOPIC WILL BE OPENED NO LATER THAN February 5th, 2022.


EXCLUSIONS:

For those that do not want to participate in the Draft, ie. do not want to be able to be picked on a team, you have until the day of the Draft to notify the Community Admin Team to place you on the ineligible list.


Thank you.

Two players have come forth to be Captains. There are numerous players that I'm surprised haven't offered to be a captain in the draft with a starting prize pool of nearly 750M gc worth of credits.

If you don't want to be a Captain, you have a chance of being picked during the draft.
