Hymenbreach Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) And how many times did you fall to these depths? Yes, we recieved harder blows (from within as much as without)and did not fall over, as some alliances did.

Willaim Kreiger Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Heh, Ave Legio? Well played Legion, it's nice to see 3 years of longevity out of any alliance, regardless the AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something to be proud of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banedon Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Gentlemen please, That war was 5 months ago. Some Vanguard nations did very well, some Legion nations did well. Some Vanguard nations did not, and some Legion nations did not. Both alliances survived the war, both are still vibrant and spirited. This is a good thing. Breaking out the rulers to measure each other's E-Peen's at this time doesn't accomplish anything.

Emperor Whimsical Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hey, at least we actually made it to our 3rd anniversary. Genmay didn't even make it a year. How sad. Seriously, I think I might cry. :lol: But Genmay will be remember as a great group who took a bullet in stride for a group of allies. Legion will be remembered as a fat guy who ran to save his buddy after leaving them out to dry once, getting shot and shooting tech and land all over their enemies, and having a !@#$ leadership. In your opinion, what was Legion's proudest moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymenbreach Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Taking bullets and surviving? Making it through turmoil of its and others making and not only surviving, but thriving?

jackyseto123 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well first of all, I wouldn't like to embark on a flame match because that wouldn't be good for me now would it. But I will answer back. Would you like a Round 2 low tiered, young one? We'll make it 1 on 1 this time and see how it ends?Congrats Legion on your recent growth spurt since Feb 1st In about 18 days, when I get my Full Set of Nukes. Sure, you'll probably win, but I'll take a good chunk of Infrastructure/Tech from you too. lol, forgetting the fact that you arent in range of the majority of Vanguard nations.Dont know about you, but i got a profit from the war. mmm legion tech. If I could of, I would of spent my warchest on Infrastructure to get in range to bash their balls out. But, even if I did get in range, they were full of Legion "roosters" and lack the holes for me to stick my "rooster" in them. Besides that, I was making a profit, but the only guy that I could find with a military and little or no one fighting him only CM'd me and caused me to lose a bit of Infrastructure, but at the end I made a profit in Vanguardian tech. Gave it away though, smelt like homosexuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadian Empire Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 A few hundred? No, we only have 6 war slots in total. Now the closest they'd ever get to 100 is if they actually did declare on 3 while being warred on by 3 at the same time. Now that would be stupid, wouldn't it? And taking your estimate, I think they actually did have 6 active wars at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrovich4 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Whoa, Whoa guys and girls, relax. I simply and genuinely congratulated Legion on their growth. I've come around to respect Legion once again in certain areas. But lets dive into this Well first of all, I wouldn't like to embark on a flame match because that wouldn't be good for me now would it.But I will answer back. We at Vanguard have very thick skins. If you disagree with us, say so and state a logical reason why - we don't consider you disagreeing with us as 'flaming' In about 18 days, when I get my Full Set of Nukes. Sure, you'll probably win, but I'll take a good chunk of Infrastructure/Tech from you too. I like your style because it makes me smile. Legion, recruit more of these personalities Gave it away though, smelt like homosexuals. Um, this came out of nowhere and I'm actually a bit disappointed As for the war slots... at the wars' peak, Vanguard was engaged in over 200+ wars with 10% of our alliance in peace mode and most Vanguardians at around 4-5 war slots. If we wanted to go 'all out', we would have increased that number ourselves. Peace out and keep growing Legion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave it away though, smelt like homosexuals. Ah, still classy as ever. You know, there have been zero problems between Vanguard and The Legion since the conclusion of the war, but since you have brought it up for discussion, I thought I may as well provide you with some enlightenment. Let us examine some statistics, shall we? The day prior to the outbreak of the Vanguard/Legion conflict, the 15th August: Total strength. Vanguard: 1,514,650 The Legion: 3,038,090 The day the peace settlement came into effect, the 22nd August: Total strength. Vanguard: 1,476,191 The Legion: 2,627,294 Losses between 15th August and 22nd August: Total strength. Vanguard: -38,459 (-2.54%) The Legion: -410,796 (-13.52%) Bit of a difference there, wouldn't you say? Now that we've examined the damage done during the war, let's take a look at how long both alliances took to recover following it. The relevant statistics can be found here and here. Keeping in mind the standings on the day prior to the war, the 15th of August: The day prior to the outbreak of the Vanguard/Legion conflict, the 15th August: Total strength. Vanguard: 1,514,650 The Legion: 3,038,090 The date Vanguard and The Legion regained their pre-war strength: Vanguard: 4th September (13 days after peace was reached) The Legion: 12th November (82 days after peace was reached) So, between the 15th of August and 12th of November, let's take a look at the gains by each alliance: Difference in strength between 15th of August and 12th of November: Total strength. Vanguard: +495,036 The Legion: +2,439 So, if you would like another round, jackyseto123, come and get it.

Matthijs Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Never been much of a fan of the Legion. Their longevity isn't exactly thanks to their loyalty, steadfastness and fighting abilities. But I think it's unfair to single them out in this one. Whenever I read these forums, I always see several people who are now in pro-NPO alliances, but once fancied themselves as brave fighters against teh evil imperializms. Often, this even goes for their alliances as a whole. I suppose if these new Legionnaires want to honour the legacy of their incompetent ancestors, more power to them, they're not the only ones. Happy birthday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
