The Sanguine Legion... Where do I even begin. Everytime I engage in PVP, I have flashbacks of the great times we had in our infancy. I see how little the thrill I get now compares to those times when we were young, to the times when only a few of us could even fit a warp scrambler.
We went from new characters with no direction to feared and blood thirsty pirates. Nothing could break our spirit... the spirit of warriors with nothing to lose.
The first engagements changed us all. I remember when some of us questioned the morality of podding. My how quickly this changed... Just like sharks, when the blood started spilling in bigger quanities, we all went into a frenzy. Many people learned to fear a swarm of frigates who wanted nothing but the taste of blood.
Our first Battleship encounters were... amazing. I don't think I've ever seen anything so beautiful in eve as a dozen frigates doing a dance of death around a gargantuan, gleaming hull.
I will never forget that day when I caught a tempest, out of the corner of my eye, warping to a belt right as we came into a system. As we came out of warp on top of the tempest, I could feel the beating of every members heart, pulsating through my speakers. This was the fight where a punisher and vexor (piloted by two beer and kebabs), jumped us mid battle with the tempest. I can still remember yelling FOCUS FIRE ON THE TEMPEST, ITS GOING DOWN! Without fear of these new found threats, each member continued to peck at the giant. After the tempest was destroyed, with fire in our eyes and a bloodlust never seen before, we ripped through the vexor and punisher with ease.
Leading the Sanguine Legion into battle in its early days is something I will never forget. The unwavering loyalty you all had in the decisions I made will never be forgotten. Although I was soon to be jokingly referred to as the 'suicidal leader', (which may or may not have anything to do with that GODS Sniper camp I gang-whiped us at  ), you still followed me to the death, and to some of our most famous kills.
May we never forget the legend of The Sanguine Legion, those brave pirates who defied the belief that only those with high SP can participate in, and become victorious in PVP. |
