Originally posted by NoBaddy I am also not machiavellian enough to believe that the ends justify the means. Hopefully, some alternative will be forthcoming.

Originally posted by NoBaddy Jackal...What reword:confused: That is an exact quote of what I posted. No where do I mention taking ANYTHING away from ANYONE . No where did I use the word "majority", nor did I imply that the majority of players were in favor of landgrab. Your reading comprehension skills do seem a bit lacking. Fortunately, HT's seem to be a bet better (sometimes ).
Originally posted by Jackal1 OK NB. I`m not saying, nor do I care,what exact "words" you used. I am telling you the majority enjoys the capture or "landgrab" as you put it. If they did not then you would never see it and everyone could frolick throughout the land hither and yon looking for something to make the game interesting. If you wish not to understand that , then so be it.
Originally posted by DrDea Ya know what Zanth thats just totally wrong.He STATED his squad moved to rooks when the rooks were outnumbered.Much Like the Flying Ciurcus did.Ya see SOME squads tried to change the imbalance on there own.We didnt NEED this to try to fix the problems.
Originally posted by Kev367th ...Quite frankly if you stay Rook, fine. If you weren't prepared to help the game out voluntarily theres little chance that this change is going to change your mind....
Originally posted by RedTop When I was lone wolfing a bit..I flew with the rooks as well for about a month. It WAS more comraderie. Why this is I have no idea. I was and am a Knight. Not just because of some loyalty but because they were the underdog as were the bish. I came back to knights as I had more friends here and didn't like the idea of shooting down old squaddies I wish I knew how the rooks did it..or what they have that promotes that comraderie. I'll stay knights as long as the squad Im in wants to. If they ever want to change countries then I'm sure we will go wherever we go. If the Knights could get the same mojo as the Rooks...They would be in my opinion just as if not better than the rooks.
Originally posted by SlapShot This is the way I see it from my experiences in the last 2+ years ...I still believe that its a comraderie thing ...Now, what happened to these squads and their influence.I believe that the AKs had a falling out within their ranks.the MAW has also drifted into the background and doesn't quite carry the influence that they once had in Knightdom.The USMC ... don't really know the story there, but USGrim does not seem to play as much as he use to.Knights did have something like the RJO ... The MAW, USMC, and FreeBirds (another strong squad) started running ops together and when that happened, it was very hard to stop the Knights.Then came the RJO ... Rooks were constantly getting a beating and probably the worst beating in the history of AH. They decided to do something about it, and with hard work and cooperation, they overcame and have become the dominate country to date. When the RJO came into play, the driving forces in the Bish and Knights were slowly disappearing into the background and there is not, I believe, at this point, any real driving forces steering the Bish and the Knights.Why do people want to fly for the Rooks ... cause for the most part, they have fun TOGETHER.Sorry for being longwinded.
Originally posted by Zanth And your squad moving to rook helped how? This is why Hitech had to do something. When not even seeming smart and reasonable people like you fellows can be counted on to do "the right thing", there is no alternative.
