The Roman Legion, often referred to by their tag of SPQR (which means 'Senatus Populusque Romanus' or 'The Senate and Roman People'), is the newest squad to become officially recognized. It consists of mostly newer players, although it does contain several more experienced pilots.
Squad History
Like many new players Andon, the founder of SPQR, attempted to form a squad upon first joining the FAO forums. After being told that he should go through Cadet and play for a while before attempting to form a squad he did just that; making his first recruit, the co-Squad Leader 'The_Fuzz' during the Cadet class. Another fellow member of the Cadet class, Dawife, eventually became co-Squad Leader as well.
After Cadet, Andon joined Rolling Thunder and Fuzzy joined Slipshod Research and Mining, where both spent several months as part of the squad. In mid January of 2008, Andon began recruiting for SPQR, ending up with the minimum number of pilots, 15, in less than two days. By the time the squad was formalized, it had grown to 29 members, the same number as Slipshod Research and Mining had at the time.
Just six months after the squad formed, Andon left The Legion to return to Rolling Thunder, prompting anger from many in the squad. It seemed the only reason Andon created the squad was to “prove it could be done”. Kramari (who was ASL at the time) filled the void by becoming co-SL.
The Roman Legion celebrated its first anniversary in February 2009. It has recruited heavily, and is a blend of new players and members of the original 29. The squad is as strong as ever, and has moved beyond its founder’s irresponsibility.
Behavior
As part of the Roman Legion, SPQR pilots are expected to perform to the highest standards. Just because SPQR contains a lot of newer pilots does not mean that they can act like a gibbering horde of children.
All pilots of SPQR are to follow the following guidelines. Breaching these guidelines can be grounds for removal from SPQR:
- Be nice to newbies, do not 'newbie-bash' (newbie bashing will result in immediate expulsion).
- Be courteous to other squads, squadded players, and other squad's command staff.
- Be courteous to the administration, both on the forums and in game.
- Do not cheat/hack.
- Abide by the RoC (Breaching the RoC will result in immediate expulsion).
- Refrain from excessive personal attacks (even in Rants).
As a general guideline, don’t do anything which would embarrass fellow squad members. Always act for the betterment of the game- do not stack, and help new players whenever you see them. Without newbies, the game would have died long ago.
