TWDT Season 20 Captains

[zidane]

These are the caps we are going with after recent departure of Ardour for captain. Due to the drop in ratings and the slight disadvantage, we are going to make mvp/snoopie back up caps for this upcoming season, pending anyone else dropping out or joining.

Just so everyone knows, this is not a final list, but a list of people who have volunteered. If we get more than enough captains, some of these names are "if you need me" names and some are more experienced than others and some want to cap more than others. We obviously want to have the best possible captains, so if you think you want to volunteer as cap, please let us know. Thanks!

[SNOOPiE]

I wish to cap, but i guess a 10* spectator isnt top pick to cap. still im willing to do it.

[afghan]

Reach out to me or Tiny if you would like to volunteer to cap.

Captain volunteers so far:

RaCka
Mean Gene
Zizzo
Ardour
morph
Dreamwin

Pretty good list so far. I think it’s obvious it should be 2-3 leaguers as caps. I think ideally, Zidane and tiny shouldn’t cap to keep the bias at minimum (subjectively or objectively) but I’m not accusing them of any wrong intent. I think those 6 would make the best list with the addition of 2 of 3 of commodo, turban, and rough if they signed up. I know trasher intermittently likes to captain and would be another good option. I’m still willing to be a backup option but it’s getting more clear that multi-leaguers would be the better option.

yep, can't have the same people running the league (while being involved in player ratings?) to participate as captains.. that should be obvious to everyone

also, you should let snoopie cap - he might crush you all

[ogron]

as always, the issue is this is a volunteer game. nobody wants to run the league and cap.

but if the choice is between tiny/zid capping and running league, or them running the league and snoopie/afghan capping, the zone is better served by the former.

the issue is always the lack of veteran volunteers.

aprix crying and never helping is the poster child for this zone.

[Aprix]

maybe, maybe not..

i think you should let people help when they volunteer, even the 6 or 7-stars sometimes, that's how they grow and hopefully also the zone.

i'm just pointing out the obvious to avoid complaints and unfair gaming.

[Kassius]

Maybe captains don't play and just get a special captain participation/final position medal :P

[SNOOPiE]

if choosen, (prolly not) i will C as in Coach and not C as i Captain, i will put my team first and only play if we need a 6* and dont have a better option. pz.

Problem is, this only works if all other captains do this, as they are invariably not 6* players and after round 0, your team will be severely disadvantaged.

How about captains with low * values get bonus picks in the first round to balance this out ?

[Nipple Nibbler]

Suggest we have a DT at some point in the future where we have all low * captains, giving a chance for more people to step up. This could make for a really interesting draft too lol.

You can play almost every ship why don't you cap?

[ronaldinho]

In Hockey Zone they picked the most retarded players as captains (Falconeer is one of them lol), it was a terrible idea.
