Who is SPQR?
We take our name-sake from Ancient Rome, "SPQR" being the Latin acronym for Senatus Populusque Romanus, or in English "The Senate and People of Rome." In a more modern and relevant context, SPQR is a semi-competitive/casual clan within the Guns of Icarus Online game/community founded on July 15th, 2013 by Jub Jub; based primarily in North America and Europe, with other members all over the globe. SPQR emphasizes teamwork (working with other crew mates or the other captain(s)), cooperation (working/listening to your captain if you are a crewmate), and good sportsmanship. Because of this, all of the clans' members were accepted in due to their willingness to follow these ideals (without being told to), as opposed to their skill-level.
Our clan's colors are red and gold and our ships are always marked with the designation "RAS" which stands for "Roman Air Ship" (people in post-apocalyptic Earth are still working on their Latin). We always try to be helpful no matter what the circumstance; whether its assisting a captain or crews with their logs/achievements or teaching newer players game mechanics, strategies and tricks. Our veteran players always strive to teach newer players and our newer players are always eager to learn.
Why You Should Join Us
There are lots of reasons to join SPQR! We have a fairly sizable player base, most of which are highly skilled. So if you're a new player looking to learn the ropes, this is a great place to do it (though we would help you regardless of whether you were an SPQR member or not). Or, if you're a more experienced player that's looking into joining a clan with a stable player base, SPQR members are on quite often! (more than some of us should be, myself included). SPQR also has doors open for those more dedicated players looking to get into competitive play via our two competitive teams The Praetorians and The Centurions.
What We're Looking For, Requirements, and How to Join Us
What We're Looking For:
SPQR is primarily a casual clan, though we do have a strong presence in the competitive community. SPQR recruits based solely off of personality, not skill level. We believe that skills will be absorbed naturally by playing with experienced players, and we seek to nurture that type of atmosphere. We are looking for veteran and newer players who will uphold this mindset and the aforementioned ideals of teamwork, cooperation, and good sportsmanship.
Requests:
We highly request that members have/use a microphone as we frequently use Teamspeak 3 and in-game chat. Also recommend are clan members to have their clothing dyed red and gold (I suggest deep burgundy and burnt orche). This type of "uniform" not only helps form camaraderie between old and new clan members, but you'll look like a badass in the victory screen (if we win said particular match).
Requirements:
1: Members must be able to speak English.
2: That you uphold SPQR's ideals and code of ethics.
3: That once you are a member, a Roman, all of your ships be labeled with the designation "RAS", such as "RAS Goldfish" or "RAS Junker".
4: That once you are a member, you must become apart of our Steam Group, nicknamed the "Rome Page", to which you will be guided through how to join. You CANNOT be a member of SPQR in-game, and not a member of the Rome Page, and vice-versa.
How to Join Us:
SPQR members are judged based on their personality rather than their skill. We strive to form a clan within the game that boasts some of the best people in the community. Admissions are controlled by our Senate (what we call our Officers, a list is included below). Anyone interested in joining SPQR should either reply here on the thread or contact us in a similar manner though the applications section of our Steam Group (link below). Applicants should then seek out and play a series of matches with the Senators. If you can’t seem to catch a Senator online, send us a PM or message on Steam and we’ll do our best to play at a time that’s convenient for you.
