Anyhow, we'll soon know if I am right about the gift theory.

I very seriously doubt that. If this turns out to be true, they dropped the ball with their updates. El Patron's weapons should be for EVERYONE, not just the winner of the popularity contest.

I am very disappointed in Disney especially POTCO. This sort of contest breeds resentment, arrogance and pettiness. You could not think of any other news this week? because your Coming soon inventory system was not soon enough?

I know you are targeting the 10 year old boy crowd, this fits with popularity contests of that age group.

I expect better from Disney , there is where I am going wrong. I should get used to expecting less. Like a Kraken Game that does not work with Vista. No 3D Glasses in mail or a start up kit for my child's account.

POTCO response
Thank you for your recent e-mail and we are sorry for any frustration or inconvenience that this news item may have caused.

We started "Savvy Swashbucklers" as a Community Event allowing Pirates all over the Caribbean to meet other Pirates that they otherwise would have never met. Please rest assured that we thoroughly research each of the nominees that are submitted to us. Also, majority vote does not necessarily mean that a Pirate will be chosen unless they have proven to be a good and trustworthy Pirate in the Caribbean.

We really appreciate your feedback on our Community Events and we will make sure to share your comments with our Pirates Online Team. We are always pleased to hear from our Guests, as we are constantly balancing and making enhancements to the game to make Pirates Online a fun and safe place to play online.

Again, we appreciate your comments, and look forward to seeing you in the Caribbean again soon!

I do not understand this. Am I missing something or is this plain ridiculous?
