The past day or so the rooks have had their backs against the wall. Some joking speculation has been made that doing poorly all the sudden was because of HiTech's ideas to hurt the side with numbers. Or was this just an uncharacteristically bad few days. Not that I feel bad for the rooks being a bish and all.

No complaining is allowed until you are outnumbered by at least 30% for a whole month straight.

Or ... perhaps all the complaining was unwarranted. I'm sure on Sunday there will be five or six more posts about how Knights and bish were outnumbered, when all they really need to do is get a little organized and start hitting bases away from the furballs.

Rooks down to 7 bases last night and outnumbered by 1 or 2 Bish and 10-15 Knights fought their way back to at least 17 bases before I logged - and still didn't have majority numbers.

I guess we're still cheating somehow. Maybe a Rook country penalty of 25% fuel max and no field ack on our bases will help balance the game.

LOL !

Seriously - nothing is going to balance the game when we Rooks work to take bases and Bish/Knights fly past us to go vulch 1 or 2 planes upping at our fields before dying in the ack.

are you rooks really supprised about this?

if you "spoil" our sunday nights then bish/knits will hit you more than each other, even IF you are down on numbers. Maybe if some of your squads evend the sides this wouldnt be happening......

and as 68thdevil said, keeping you down to 3 bases is the only way to keep your numbers down

Personally, I welcome a lesser number of rooks, but don't get over confident yet. My k/d is just as high if not higher over the past three days. You bish/knights still throw yourselves silly nilly at us like lemmings off a cliff.

*lol* I remember us Rooks were quite outnumbered for the better part of 2002 and 2003. Was a great time too.

As a Rook for the past 5 years.....I guess that 2½ year stretch when we were outnumbered 2-1 by BOTH other sides qualifies me:D

WHAAAAAAAAAAA!

I really dont think its the squads' fault over on the Rooks side. Maybe its on YOUR two ends... You aren't doing your job's over recruiting people. I went to fly bish for a day or two and all I saw on the country channel was: "If ya dont like it here, fly rooks!" "I bet the rooks have a fun time on their country, go fly with em!"
Or "Go fly rooks, you'll always win!"

Its not the Rook's problem, its bish and knits problem for not recruiting properly.

This was not directed to a person or small group of people, only to two countries as a whole.

I like the implication they COULD keep Rooks down to 3 bases whenever they want......cracks me up.

Reality is this - there is a normal ebb and flow - sometimes the Rooks will be up, sometimes down..... Numbers are NOT the end all....... I have seen times when we Rooks outnumbered the Bish and Knits only to be beaten back.... No one has the market cornered on furballing versus tactics....the Rooks specialize in it....

However, and that said, the Rooks can be deadly..... when we work together, and apply tactics.

Bottom line - every one will win in time...this isn't a numbers issue.
