OK, there’s not really a pirate of the year – but if there was, this would be my vote. But first, the explanation.
Lately I’ve been going out BK hunting with Everclearboy. He’s always good for a decent amount of POE, with a minimum amount of puzzling – and I still have trinkets and trophies to get, last night I added a lucky rabbit’s foot to my trinket collection, and another gold BK trophy (in addition to one the night before). But he’s not my nominee…
After Everclear’s BK run, I jobbed on with a Cit Run with one of my preferred bnavvers, and after the usual waiting around to fill, we finally go in. Unfortunately, like too many cit runs these days, we went one citadel too long, and ended up sinking (like Everclear had done before the BK run). So we all end up on the shore – hoping we have a new injury, but mostly seeing what color our latest fish was – with nothing but the aforementioned fish and a small handful of POE. I go back home, then head to Wensleydale to re-arrange some clothing – when there’s an “All Hands” call. I think, maybe the bnavver decided to give some consolation POE to the jobbers for the their time, so I answer the call. I was right, it was consolation POE — 400K worth of it. Then, before I can finish a thank you message, there’s another call to vote on the division of another 100K. I ended up making more on this sink than I usually do on a Friglantis run.
So, for this reason, I would definitely vote for Viator for pirate of the year. I certainly will start referring to him now as Gentleman Jake…
