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 (Having 13 pilots in the current Cadet class), 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, Amsuna, eventually became a recruit for SPQR.
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.
The first two squad games were against the Wild Cards, with the first Roman Legion kill being Black Viper, a twist of irony as Black Viper was the then current Cadet lead and the Roman Legion was mostly cadets or recent cadets. Andon commanded the first game, and TheFeared commanded the second game. Both were losses.
Squad Organization
The Roman Legion is organized into two branches: Political Command (Poly-Com) and Tactical Command (Tac-Com)
Poly-Com
Political Command contains the 'Official' leaders of the squad, which are the Squad Leaders and Assistant Squad Leaders.
Squad Leads
Manage inter-squad relations, investigate complaints about SPQR pilots, punish SPQR pilots when needed, schedule squad games, etc
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).
All pilots are to follow the following guidelines. Breaching these guidelines can result in removal of the right to participate in a squad game, squad scrimmages, the right to wear the @SPQR tag, or other restrictions, for limited periods of time. Multiple infractions will incur longer penalties and may result in immediate expulsion.
- Listen to Poly-Com members.
- Be polite to Poly-Com Members
- Lodge personal complaints in the appropriate places.
- Refrain from personal attacks (even in Rants).
- Refrain from stacking (including stacking the settings).
If any member of a squad sees a member of SPQR breaking any of these, then they should immediately contact their squad's representative to SPQR (listed below) to file a complaint. If a squad does not have a representative, or the player is not a part of a squad, then the complaint should be filed directly to the SPQR Squad Representative ASL.
