The Great Nightmare

The Great Nightmare was a crew that sailed the Sage Ocean. The crew is the founder of the flag Check-Mate.

History
The Great Nightmare was founded by Lordlightnin on 9 July, 2006.

At some point in 2006, the crew found the flag Night Knights, which was then transferred to another crew.

Some time later in 2006 the crew became the founding crew of the flag of.

By March of 2007, Murka had replaced Lordlightnin as captain of The Great Nightmare.

By August of 2007 Murka had given the job of captaincy to Mehmet, stepping aside to become a SO.

Following Mehmet's reach to power, Mehmet had disbanded the flag Bone Breakers, and joined the flag Eternal Glory.

Lordlightnin, upon returning from retirement, got the captainship back, and found the flag Check-Mate, under which The Great Nightmare currently is.

A week after finding the flag, Lordlightnin made a 3rd party chess tournament between his friends, from which Infinity came as the winner, taking the crew and flag to her leadership.

Infinity then went on and declared war on all non-dormant flags in Sage, which, with the effect of peer-pressure, was the end of her captainship and queenship.

Avenger took over the crew, under supervision of Lordlightnin, and gave captainship to Guzame, who has ultimately withdrew all the declarations, and is holding the captainship of the crew now.

As for Lordlightnin, he retired after Avenger's take over, but for some time logged on now and then to have a chat with his crewbies, holding the officer position.
