<div class="text-justify">@f3nix on the bridge, your awesome-cap'n-usurper-of-the-real-one-who-is-in-chains-down-in-the-bilge. I won't eben try to keep writing in pirate slang, I've had enough with that, by the Powers! ... ahrrrr!!! Stop it damn! This idiom sticks to your boots like rotten algae! Enough.. order restored. I've to praise @theironfelix, the soul of this edition, a real master of ceremony who enriched our blogs with insightful comments, jokes and gifs. I noticed that his female heroes (see Yayo-Che before) shine with an energy that propagates to every participant. Bravo Felix, you son of a biscuit eater!</div>

# <center>..And  the winners of this special-enhanced-pot MC Felix edition are:</center> #
<br>
- GRAND PRIZE - 5 STEEM: @dirge. [In this story,](https://steemit.com/finishthestory/@dirge/pirate-hunters-week-35-of-the-finish-the-story-contest-blimey) I found the balance I was looking for. By assuming a different perspective, he allows us to see the pirates through the spectacles of their hunters. It's a fresh solution, capable to go beyond the pirate jargon or referrals as the most used expedients to give context to the scene. I also appreciated a moderate use of this piratesque lexicon for the benefit of the fluidity of the text and, obviously, the final elegant twist.

- SECOND PRIZE - 2 SBI: for the second time in a row, @michaias. I've been progressively hooked to [his story](https://steemit.com/finishthestory/@michaias/finishthestory-week-35-ship-of-fools) which gave me a sincere laugh. This is one of those entertaining pieces where the reader is cuddled due to their well-built structure, smoothness and sense of humor. It takes some degree of skill to make it look easy and natural. Recommended to read.

- POPULAR VOTE - 2 SBI: @marcoriccardi with the existential musings of Alvise Morosini about life choices and individual motivations, wish for freedom and shelter from the slings and arrows of outrageous (mis)fortune.

- BEST COMMENT - 1 SBI: @theironfelix with his series of comments to everyone. I would especially quote that to Tristan and Agmoore. A very careful reader, he didn't miss a verb or a typo, always ready to give good advice.
