Internet Archive: Fear the Vampires History

From:  http://web.archive.org/web/20020812002641/http://www.fearthevampires.com/history.htm


It was the beginning of the new age for "Fear The Vampires" during Space Merchant Newbie Game 17. Fear the Vampires ruled this game, achieving victory after victory providing many of our enemies with shiny new escape pods. We viciously and relentlessly attacked planet after planet, always leaving a trail of space debris in our wake. The High Council members were from various races, born with fangs so sharp that no armor could withstand their bite. The call for blood was overwhelming and many had succumbed to the vampire advance. Our own safe haven Castle Vampire was the best in that round, impregnable, and no enemy ship ever got near or survived a close encounter. The Sun (Space Merchant) went Super Nova destroying everything except the vampire spirit within us, we re-emerge in Merchant Empires with the a fresh thirst for blood!!


Fear the Vampires was founded out a need for rebirth. Tattoo wanted a change after 2 round of dominant combat with Hordez. A chance meeting was all that was really needed to begin the adventure, in walks Moronix and the first generation of Vampires was born. Why Vampires, because it seems that none of us sleep, we're always online and ready at the drop of a teryllian bat to fly into action. Some members from former enemies are recruited and with these handful of us, we have formed "The Galactic Vampires". The first of the Vampires are Count MasterBlaster, Count Baliman, Count Moronix, Count Vertigo, Count Me Out, Count on Me, Count Naeblis, Count Shock and Count Tattoo. Others whom aren't using Count title such as RMR6, Asimov, LockNLoad, Snade. Only Jome (Count Vertigo and my best SM buddy) and myself were in NG9, thus making us the most experience players.


Clynelish whom also was former Hordez member had broken free of the Hordez ties and spawned a new alliance No Fear. He too had the same problem with the size of his new alliance, we discussed a merger and formation of a new stronger alliance in "Fearless Vampires" or "Fear the Vampires". In NG17 Fear the Vampires was lead by Clynelish with Masterblaster at his side. MasterBlaster was a big help due to the fact he was the catalyst within the alliance. His charm in negotiations were also a great asset for Fear the Vampires. A Vampire High council was formed to steer the direction of this new formed alliance Clynelish, MasterBlaster, Moronix, Baliman(PBman) and Tattoo. NG17 was a great success for Fear The Vampires, we had the best planet, we planet busted as much possible and made vet gamers whom ridiculed us to eat their own words. We had hunters podding big name traders, all of the sudden the tide had changed. NG17 will always be remembered by Fear the Vampires members, as they were part of an alliance to which they could be proud. There are so many memorable events, which will be part of our lives. (We have earned the respect from very experienced alliances such as Tartarus and Rain of Death) And Hordez just fades away..


Later when Space Merchant went Super Nova, MasterBlaster had lead Fear the Vampires into a new gaming area (which Hardcore has vast experience) in Merchant Empires. We are once again newbies in the realm, this realm being Merchant Empires. MasterBlaster leads the drive of Chaos as Fear the Vampires begins to move deeper in to the Merchant Empire universe. Later, he passes the leadership to Carnaugh the Fearless and Noble leader. Carnaugh does exceptionally well in Merchant Empires and once again leads Fear the Vampires into glory! Thank you MasterBlaster for bring us into Merchant Empires and jump starting Fear the Vampires into overdrive and thanks to Carnaugh for keeping us there.


And finally some words of wisdom from Tattoo;


The success of an alliance very much depends on the cooperation between the gamers, if you give the benefit of doubt and open your heart to accept new friends, you will definitely enjoy any game you play.


Note: Thank you to all the original "Counts" support on my idea of the theme "Vampires", without them it wouldn't have materialized, and Thanks to Clynelish for merging with us and leading the FtV to great heights. Thanks to MB sound advice for the High Council to determine whom are our allies! and enemies. Thanks to Carnaugh for leading FtV to great heights in ME. Love you guys!! FtV forever..where The river of blood doesn't run dry!
