October 08 POF Poll

Well mateys - it seems we have a mighty literate bunch around here.

We actually have 11 finalists.

In order to make it easier for you to judge, I am putting all of them right here with a unique symbol.


1. Pick the one you like
2. Check what symbol it has on top of it
3. Vote for that symbol in the poll above





Swashbuckler II lie beneath yer feat.
T'was a mighty glitch master, very elite.
Until a glitch backfired, much to his surprise.
Turned him into a flytrap, and soon his demise.



Here lies Erich the Great,
He should have paid attention to what he ate.
The rum was tainted,
We thought he fainted.
And that's how Jones sealed his fate.



Below lies the body that once was Black Bart's
Done in by the Navy's blackest of Hearts!
A Swordsman and Pyrate ne'er again shall be seen
The likes of this One who now lay 'neath the Green.
If Ye'r dying to know of the Havoc He'd deal
Just dig down six feet and you'll find some Foul Steel!



a moment of silence please
Here lies a pirate
He lived simple and free
Plundered hard on land
Even harder at sea
Fully mastered
and a belly full of grog
Picked a fight
with a huge cursed log
That mighty stump
crushed him flat
Rest in Peace
Sven Ironrat



Here lies Jade Stormspinner
Forever in repose
Had no gold for tonics
She'd spent it all on clothes



Combat Lizzy was a wench and a pirate of sorts
Wasn't a very apt sailor..she always lost the ports.
Her map and compass were thrown overboard
Her ship always ended us sunk and sumtimes moored
But Lizzy never gave up...her will power was strong
Even though the directions she sailed were constantly wrong
So in remembrance of this wayward pirate who never ceased tryin
Pass the Rum around mateys...there will be no sad cryin
Cuz Lizzy luved to partee, play poker, and drink Rum...
She mite just appear from beyond and partake in sum



'Tis joy to some
and sorrow to others
for here lies Nathaniel Warfury
whose none to happy about the predicament.




no need for a headstone,
he deserved what he got,
so here lies jack sharkbane,
left here to rot.



Matthew Ironjaw was a strapping lad,
but with the ladies - his luck was bad.
He fancied a lass that he taught to shoot,
She shot him dead and took his loot!



Here lies Gert.
Gert got hurt.
Doc Grog was drunk.
Gert's six feet sunk.



Here lies Mary
Brave & True
Last words she heard?
"Part of the ship, part of the crew..."

Choose carefully mates--the symbols in the poll ARE NOT in the same order as the epitaphs themselves!

IMO...some in this final poll are good while others are ok...there were some other really good ones in that whole thread that should've been on this list...

I think next time it should be up to the members of the POF to decide which ones make the final poll and then either have them vote the 3 finalists or let the MODs do it...

I'm not sure what you are trying to imply but:

The mods'll pick the top entries on Monday October 27th and we'll vote it out to the finish.

What I meant was that you should've had the members of the POF forums pick the top ones instead of the MODs and then either the MODs pick the final 3 winners or you let the members of the POF pick them...

Umm that would be double-voting LOL Your first round fo pics would just make up the top three... there would be no need for the second round

In any case the other issue is just the sheer number... there were a LOT of entries and picking them was not an easy selection (even for us)... that, and the contest run the same way every month - changing the format (espically with the number of entries in this case) would be very hard...
