There&#039;s no need to make things complicated.&nbsp; Using the draft from last season, I made a quick list of people I would ask to be captains before I would just take volunteers:<br /><br />Chewy<br />Nostar<br />Ralphis<br />LordBritish<br />HumanBones<br />Hatred<br />ItalianStallion<br />RussianDumbass<br />Mikehail<br />Tai<br />Xenaero<br />Gilgamesh<br />Mantis-X<br />ThatsJustPrime<br />MassVC<br />Climhazzard<br />RustInPeace<br /><br />EZ.&nbsp; I can take 5 NOs before I have to get down to volunteers, and you can throw Jenova in there too for a 6 captain buffer.<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />This is also the benefit of dismissing captains every season.&nbsp; The returning captains (supposedly) are:<br /><br />RussianDumbass<br />Tai<br />Hatred<br />Ralphis<br />LordBritish<br />MassVC<br />HumanBones<br />Climhazzard<br />ThatsJustPrime<br />Legion<br />Strangle<br /><br />The only captains not on my list are Legion and Strangle, meaning I&#039;d have to convince 3 captains out of:<br /><br />Chewy<br />Nostar<br />ItalianStallion<br />Mikehail<br />Xenaero<br />Gilgamesh<br />Mantis-X<br />RustInPeace<br />Jenova<br /><br />This is very possible.<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />It&#039;s tempting to descend into arguments like<br /><br />[list]<br />[li]But Ladna, what are your criteria?[/li]<br />[li]How will the administration decide who to ask next?[/li]<br />[li]What if one of your [i]AWESOME[/i] captains bombs?&nbsp; Won&#039;t you feel silly?[/li]<br />[li]Won&#039;t captains not asked back feel [color=red]burned[/color]?[/li]<br />[/list]<br /><br />But none of this really matters.&nbsp; Elite captains raise the profile and professionalism of IDL, and they make players want to sign up.
