Electing a Quartermaster

As the previous quartermaster of the appears to have taken a long walk off a short plank, we find ourselves in need of a new candidate for the role. A quartermaster has a unique position on a pirate ship. Elected by the crew, he is expected to be their representative and to champion their needs against the often arbitrary authority of the captain.\n\nTwo candidates immediately present themselves. our nation is a true advocate for the crew; he has both the humility to listen to their concerns and the fortitude to stand up to the captain. Meanwhile, our nation is firmly in the Captain’s pocket; he is skilled at manipulating the crew into believing that the Captain’s wishes are also their own. Who will win the hearts and minds of the assembled pirates?
