A quick definition of warden of the cinque ports:

Warden of the Cinque Ports: A person who was in charge of protecting five important ports in England a long time ago. This job was created to keep enemies away from the coast, like the Romans did. The Warden, also known as the Lord Warden, was the boss of a special court that had different powers to make decisions about different things. It was called the Court of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. In the past, this job was called the Guardian of the Cinque Ports.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The warden of the cinque ports (pronounced "singk ports") was a magistrate who had authority over the five cinque ports. This office was created to protect the coasts against enemies, following the Roman policy. The Lord Warden, as the warden was formally called, presided over the Court of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. This court was established in the 14th century and had various powers, including civil, equity, and admiralty jurisdiction. In the past, the warden was also known as the guardian of the cinque ports.

Example: The warden of the cinque ports was responsible for maintaining the security of the five ports, which were Dover, Hastings, Hythe, New Romney, and Sandwich. He had the power to call upon the inhabitants of these ports to defend them against any enemy attacks. For example, during the Spanish Armada in 1588, the warden of the cinque ports, Lord Cobham, led the defense of the ports against the Spanish fleet.

Explanation: This example illustrates how the warden of the cinque ports had the responsibility to protect the ports against any enemy attacks. During the Spanish Armada, Lord Cobham was able to use his authority to call upon the inhabitants of the ports to defend them against the Spanish fleet. This shows how the warden had the power to mobilize the people and resources of the ports to protect them from external threats.

i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
