Captains

[Turban]

i could maybe volunteer to captain, but would need a co-captain that can show to at least warbird time slot (assuming times haven't changed) and perhaps cover some weeks.

still a big maybe, but could try to help one more time.

If we could get Dreamwin/Zidane/Trasher/Geio/Turban/Mythril, would be pretty epic.

Could prob team up Geio with Tiny or something to make it completely fair, then random draw.

I’d think Turb as a cap would be good. If every other cap agrees - give him a wb to help cover that spot (like you said team Geio with Tiny). What if we did it where we had two captains per team? I know we probably don’t have the number of players to make that a viable option. For example: Pair zid with a wb (since he’s better at jav/base.. same goes for dreamwin etc. I know it probably won’t work and you can make the argument of just having individuals and just let them draft. Not sure if having a preset co-captain would give them an incentive to sign up or cap.

I proved a first time cap can do everything that is needed. My wb and jav team was by far the best team on paper. When we showed up we won and dominated.

Didn't you try to quit after 2 weeks as cap because your team was struggling, make a forum thread about it and then only stuck around because your team drastically improved in the free agency?.....

I did have an issue with a few on my team Ricko because they were actively trying to sabatoge it. I voiced my frustrations and threatened to quit for 1 day but quickly pulled myself together and continued onward with those who were trying despite losers like oderus. I met EVERY requirement and my record as cap was 100% clean.

I think a captain should be respected by atleast 75% of the TW community

I mean, Turban is a very good warbird already. He led Terrorist to the TWDT-D Finals two seasons ago, and was a good starter in TWLD and dropped 20 on Fierce like twice. He's not super elite, but he's like an 8.5

Zidane probably has the most value because he's the best javelin and the best shark. He's not a great WB, but he's pretty decent. He made TSLD All-Stars (albeit through attrition) and won TWDT-D as a starter in 2016.

Dreamwin as almost as much value as Zid, although he spiders which is less important than shark.

Mythril is a Top 5 all-time warbird, an elite shark who made All-Stars and has started 3 TWLB Finals, and a pretty solid jav.

Trasher is a basing god, a very good jav, and a decent warbird.

Geio is a very good warbird, a good jav, and a good shark. Tiny is an elite javelin and shrewd TWDT cap with experience.


If you rate a captain on his proficiency across 3 leagues, with 3.0 being the perfect 3-leaguer who is a god in every ship, I'd rate them thusly:

Zidane - 2.7
Turban - 2.8
Dreamwin - 2.6
Mythril - 2.6
Trasher - 2.5
Geio/Tiny - 2.5

I really think it's pretty close. I'd give myself like a 1.8 (1 for base since I terr and that's super valuable, and .8 for warbird) and I've always had the worst draft spot every season and reached the Semi-Finals in all three leagues 8/9 times. Attacks went like 6/6, and I'd rate him like 0.9 (.9 for wb, and nothing else), so even with a big initial disadvantage it's still possible to be very successful. Obviously, the more parity the better, but I'm not sure giving these captains anyone else would prove beneficial.

Those 6 would be, by far, the most talented group of captains in TWDT history.

There was a season a few years ago where TJ Hazuki was a captain and took Welt with his 1st pick, so knowing you're going to any those 6 teams, who get an elite pick in the 1st round on top of that, has to instill you with a degree of confidence that you're primed for success.

Ummm...

He finished 7th in TWDT-D, averaging 10.9 KPG. You finished 38th averaging 7.0 KPG.
