S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S.

Backround/Beginnings
S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S. was a legendary pirate/roleplay guild that was founded in May of 2011 and was disbanded in December of 2012 after the guildmasters main account was compromised. S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S. was orginally founded by Basil Brawlmonk after he was booted from the guild "Fresh Empire" after Basil returned from a real life vacation. Basil was challenged to a war by Super Fresh and the then somewhat famous Warlord "Gabriel". So, Basil had to put together a force that was capable enough to challenge Super Fresh and his maxed guild. So Basil in a frantic scramble with no knowledge of guild war went on the Pirates Online Players wikia and looked up information about guild wars and read about the Paradoxian War. Using that information, Basil had 1 day to gather a force to face "Super Fresh", so Basil and his small following that was booted along with him, "Kate Thorn, Spencer Fire" among about 5 others. They went to the outskirts of Port Royal over by the entrance to one of the forests/woods whatever its called and decided that they would create a guild and Basil Brawlmonk would GM it. So before the guild was created they wanted to try and find a level 50 to back them as Basil was only level 41 and he was the highest level guy out of all of them. So they all went there seperate ways, Kate and the others went to go SVS on Abassa and Basil started a search for some guys to help out. So he started at one place where he knew he would find alot of level 50's, Abassa Tortuga. Basil was turned down by everyone there. Most of them knew of the "Fresh Empire" guild which was known for being a pretty good pirate guild and a mainstay on the leaderboards for about a month. But Basil pressed on and traveled and traveled to Angassa (his favorite server) Padres Del Fuego where he met an acutal roleplay soldier. This was something Basil had never really seen before, his name "John Daniels" his guild... the legendary roleplayers guild "Elite Musket Men", which apparently John Daniels was the very last remaining member that was active. After much deliberation, John agreed to join Basils cause. Basil called them all together, and after much deliberation on a name, the name S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S. was decided on, everyone thought it was a pretty cool name so they went for it. The guild was formed, a ranking system was established and Basil and John daniels stayed up and recruited until S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S. had about 150 members. The next day, Super Fresh and Basil met on Antik Tortuga, Super Fresh and Gabriel had about 25 guys or more there, and Basil had about 11 people with him. Gabriel and Super Fresh and Basil then went to the SVS islands. Basil and his guys went to the Spanish island and launched 1 full war frigate, 5 gunners had Rev Rams. Super Fresh launched 3 war frigates, 1 of them was just 1 guy, 1 of them was full with gunners and 1 of them had 5 people in it. S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S. won handily. There were 2 more battles in which Basil won both of.

Establishing as a Pirate guild
Basil, John Daniels and the others after winning the war started their campaign to build S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S. in which they did. They established themselves not conistently, but they got on the leaderboards a few times for certain things. They built up first to 200, then to 300, then to 400, then to 450. The guild was growing exponentially and then John Daniels the second in command to Basil went inactive. Morale was sinking within the guild once John Daniels the guy who did all the day to day operations went inactive. In order to restore confidence, Basil went out and searched all around for a new Co-Gm. He found his Co-GM when he went to one of the smaller servers Ravens Cove and found a level 49 named "Charles Warmonk" fighting a rage ghost with a few other guys. The guys got knocked out besides Charles, and the ghost was at not alot of health, Warmonk was about dead though and Basil got out his pistol and fired the last shot. They hit it off from there. Charles Warmonk was still GM of Seas of the Day so it took a little bit of Basil kind of growing on Charles bringing up the possibility of coming into the guild each time they met. Basil and Charles looted a little... at least Basil tried too as he was a terrible terrible looter. After a long time and alot of convincing, Basil was able to draw Warmonk into S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S.... S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S. hit its stride once Warmonk came in. The guild maxed out and the guild became a consitent power on the leaderboards.....TO BE CONTINUED
