Hooray, hooray, polls and tabs are back and, even better, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is out worldwide (on PS3 and Xbox 360, sorry Wii-U fanboys, next-gen hopefuls and PC trolls)! But before I move onto the polls, I have something important to say to protect against spoilers.
PLEASE DO NOT POST SPOILERS TO ASSASSIN'S CREED IV IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS BLOG.[edit | edit source]
If you have completed the game, or just want to discuss plot points, please discuss the game in Outsider's blog. This is because some people still want to talk about Assassin's Creed on this website, but care about the story and do not want it spoiling. So again,
PLEASE DO NOT POST SPOILERS TO ASSASSIN'S CREED IV IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS BLOG. TALK ABOUT THE STORY HERE INSTEAD.[edit | edit source]
Anyway, with that done, let's move onto the Polls!

If you have Black Flag, how far through the story are you (in sequences, to avoid spoilers)? What have you spent most of your time doing (again, try to avoid posting major spoilers)?
If you have not got the game, please try in vain to convince me to get a PC. Yes, I'm looking at you, Kain.
Hooray! Another week, another Caption Contest. Its time enough for an NPC to be the guy to caption, so here's a herald throwing his arms up in the air in despair. Or, whatever, you guys get to come up with the caption. So caption it!
Good luck (and what shall we do with a drunken sailor?)!
<poll>
Which is your favourite caption?
They see me shootin', they fallin'.
Edward used the Flintlock musket! It's super effective!
Soldier on ground - "I'm in the position where the Assassin is supposed to come up and hear my monologue..... WHERE BE THE WHITE-NESS?!!! DX"
Soldier: Te cojeré maldito pira-*Gets shot* Edward: Get out of my way lads, i'm getting late for my audition for Caribbean Idol
You used to be a mook. Then you took a bullet to the knee. Now you're a crippled mook.

So now that the polls and tabbers are back, it will be easy to do a knock-out style multi-week 'Pit' contest! Basically, what is going to happen here is various parts of AC lore (characters, events, ect.) are going to be put up against each other and judged on certain aspects (for example, the most bad-ass character in Assassin's Creed) over several weeks.
So, without further ado, let's get back into the first edition of the revived Pit! Shall we start with the example above?
<poll>
Who is the more bad-ass protagonist?
Altair
