The Hall of Fame Nominees!

Ok it's that time again for a new inductee into the Pirates Online Hall of Fame. As always we have a nice list of nominees, including a couple players being nominated for the first time.

Admiral_Spirit - Rating: 1687; tourney wins: 11; Record: 48-16 Spirit didn't play too many tourneys but those who played against him will never forget the incredible winning streak he went on during April of 2007....29 match wins in a row! A record that many of us feel might never be broken. His four turn Titan showed a lot of players just how action crew should be used.

Bootyjuice - Rating: 1750; tourney wins: 8; Record: 152-171 Booty has grown into being one of the best players in the game during the past 6 months. He's also one of the reasons the rogues have grown into the largest guild in the game. A fair and honest player, definitely a worthy nominee.

cbw92 - Rating: 1821; tourney wins: 10; Record: 154-98 cbw is now one of the leaders of the Iron Clads, a great guild for sure. He has always been consistent and a threat to win any tourney he joins. cbw is young but you'd never know it, as he is one of the most respected players in the game, whether in tourney or in casual.

Maheswani - Rating: 1842; tourney wins: 11; Record: 88-47 Mahe is a threat no matter the format. He is also one of the biggest reason for the growth of the rogues. Mahe is highly skilled at creating interesting and nasty fleets in any format. He is also great at training new players.

Tupemaro - Rating: 1902; tourney wins: 26; Record: 169-58 Tupe is a great player in any format...both an innovator and a power-gamer. Tupe is the number one deathmatch player, where he's practically unbeatable, and always hard to beat in any other format. Many feel he's the best player in the game. Tupe is the only player to have won a tourney in every available format.

Philneous - Rating: 1752; tourney wins: 4; Record: 127-140 Phil, like bootyjuice, has greatly improved this past year, becoming one of the toughest players in the game. A great player, always fair and gracious in victory or defeat.

Voting will end Sunday March 15, at 8:50 pm. The results will be announced on the Pirates Online Radio Show that night.
