Why would i want to leave the best organized most disciplined and really the friendliest group of Elite pirates in all of the carribean to join a Measly little guild full of Kindergarteners and misfits... I find myself wanting to say all this, but i dont,,, Even though they are not spania, i still treat them with respect because I am Spania... I have made so many friends since i joined the guild and not just aquaintances, friends i talk too and worry about when they are sick.. or stressed.
I rarely hear anyone wanting to leave the guild,, I totally get why. The guilds I have been part of in my past ,,, Even my own guild, was small and poorly managed.. To many officers, not enough members... In this guild you work towards that goal... to be first a Veteran, Then an officer.
I am hoping Carlos will one day use a different character and maybe start a second Chapter of Spania like Spania part 2 but with a cooler name that respects the guilds origin,,, I only say that because soon we are gonna run out of room for members, and we just keep adding one quality pirate after another... its great... soon we will have all the Elite , assuming they lift thier heads up and Gaze at the Wonder that Is Spania...... Fair winds from the Biased, Warshout. lol
I just wanted to take a second to second that opinion. I have never really voiced it because we do always have to remain respectful to all the guilds of POTCO as that is one trait Spania must always uphold. I always think the same thing though. There are a lot of really great guilds out there most of which can be found here on POF and it is truly an honor to fight along side of them. Each one of these guilds have a very special quality but I would not want to risk loosing the unique quality that is Spania comradeship and respectfulness.

I have been in some guilds, especially the SVS ones, that are very competitive with the other guilds in a very unsportsmanlike manner which inevitably takes away the fun of playing the game. Its really great knowing that at the root of everything its always about having the most fun within the game world thats been handed us.

I have read and seen where Spania is trying to build up an SVS fleet and I really love the attitude that all Spania has approached it with. The attitude contains none of the darkness I have seen in the other guilds.

Great post Davy!
