  You guys dont get it.You REALLY dont get it do you??? Some squads switch sides to even up the arena,and get called traitors,plus other various childish names I wont go over but you get the idea.Its not to pad scores,the big numbers lose points due to the ratio adjustment.These squads that change sides to even the numbers dont deserve to be called out on it by a bunch of people dedicated to a miserable chess piece that couldnt care less if the game numbers are even.Jebus christ.Pay attention to whats being said.They do this to "even the numbers"  If there wasnt a bunch of childish crap said when they do they MIGHT think about rejoining when the numbers level out.What a concept.

if you can name a rook or knit squad that has jumped and stayed bish pls let me know.   off the top of my head i can name AK's, black knights, s.e.'s, sobs, rowdy rebels, regulators, Dow as squads that have jumped in last year to year and a half.  there are prob more.  if anyone can name a squad of size that has moved bish pls let me know.  and to be honest i dont think those guys jumped becuz they hate the bish....but if you cant see we have been ganged for over a year and longer whatever the numbers were....then so be it....but it wears guys downa dn they move to where it is easier.  i think the ak's were the only squad i know that jumped becuz they moved to a more difficult country aks...i can respect that

Ripsnort's old squad (Swoop,ESB..etc) jumped from Nites to Bish to join the Hornets not too long ago...For a while we were invincable(until the Voss u no what incident)

It has happened.

And now us ex-Hornets joined the BoP's and where ever we attack the hording Nite/Rook infestation seems to skatter like cockroaches in the bright light.

[BTW]

You know if you don't change sides, you should invest in another account. I don't think you can really appreciate a pilot until you've flown with them and against them. As some other poster stated and I agree, if you only fly on 1 side, you miss 66% of potential friends (well prolly less since others do hop).

Like many of your claims jet, this is BS.

For the rest of you guys howling about numbers, there were 10% more bish than rooks on this evening. ~ 156 to our 140, with maybe 165 knits. Call me crazy, but I'm not seeing the problem.

In regards to the DoW changing sides. I don't think they changed sides to avoid the ganging, but to see what the rest of the MA was like. The Dogz were Az in AW, and stayed Bish all through AH1, and well into AH2. To say they ran to avoid the very strategy the BoPs employed with great success in AH1 is BS. The Dogz are a very fine group of people, and you have absolutely no basis for your statement regarding them, beyond your own piss poor attitude, and assumption that everyone has the same shallow view of the MA that you do. Maybe they just wanted to see what the other side of the fence was like. Country loyalty in this game means absolutely nothing. The game is about the people, not the icon.

Falc...first off from the Sick Puppies to Birds Of Prey.

I just saw your first post to start this thread only because i think the numbers game is a joke and i posted a thread on what i thought of it.

well, if they can't figure out a method to correct this i think i can.

i fly less...i think the game is more of an arcade game more than ever and i'm guessin that i will play less and tell less people about it.

i would not tell anybody that trusted my word to spend bucks on a new computer to look at a cartoon.

This wouldnt be an issue if it was a 2 front war for everyone but its just NOT!

As far as the country jumpers.... Keep em.  If they have that kind of commitment and dedication as to jump sides when things get tough... We dont need em!
 

The Bish have some awesome squads that work well together and fight for a common interest, not just whiners who cant deal with training the new guys and helping get their side to be a quality fighting force.

I am relativly new to AH, and since the beginning, The BOPS have taken me under their wing and helped me get better every day. I have really enjoyed getting to know the guys and our fellow Bish every day in Combat and am proud to be a BISH.

Falc, keep em high and straight bro!

 

Since you refuse to ever see what the other side is like, how would you know?  You talk about facts when you have no experience.  What you have is called IGNORANCE, and its cureable by EXPERIENCE.   Try it sometime.  I'm flying Knight right now, and even on our best nights we are fighting a 2 front war all night long, with just as many whiners as youve got talking about the BishRook conspiracies.  Bah.  Yer all ninnies.

Were Outnumbered !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow...the morons who taunt the most on ch 200 are laso the idiotic posters...to bad i cant squelch them in here as well...

again i have played this game forever and illl tell you one general observation that will play out over and over again...when a decent size squad jumpsa countries....they never last..they become a shadow of the thier formerselves.  how many of the other squads in here can claim the longevity of BoPs???  we have been the largest squad in aw, aw2,awmillenium, aw3 and now AH.  I have watcehd great squads go from 15 -20 folks a night to 2-5.  For the idiots who dont get it....it needs to mean something if it is not a first person shooter,,,,and whether that loyalty is "pledged" to 3 guys or a squad or a country is  a big dufference to how long you will play the game

[Guppy35]

All that matters is having fun.  The second this gets too serious, it's time to step back and get the priorities straight.

The loyalty is to the friends you make and the fun you have.

Lol this thread is so deja-vu to 2002. Only back then rooks were in the bucket and bishops had the numbers.

The same 'boohoo' comments still exist (naturally from the side that has most players, gee..) and the same lack of understanding of 24 hour gameplay AH has. If YOU are not seeing jilted numbers, someone playing 12 hours later may very well see them. Even if they don't exist for you, they may exist for 400 other people. In that context all the opposing comments are just idiotic - the posters simply don't know what they're talking about.

Now I have no reason to defend the bish - hell the bish horde were the reason I quit a few years ago. But I can say this from experience - being ganged every day will get boring. It is not fun and frustrates the crap out of you.

WHAT A CROCK OF CRAP!      The BISH are the only ones fighting a 2 front war until we are down to 12 or so bases and the Nits & Rooks have to battle for the win.....

Please tell me you're kidding, you really don't belieaqve this yourself do you?

You see what you want to see be it because you are relative new to AH or something else... Every time I hear a silly statement like that in AH I always bring up map and check to see if it is true, and it never is, there is ALWAYS a two front war for ALL countries.

Falconwing, Bish will have low numbers for some time to come most likely, then it will change, another country will be the gangbange. Perk bonus and more, the ENY limiter are two ways to counter. The ENY limiter was implamented not all to long ago so saying that HTC isn't dealing with the problem is just plain wrong. (if anyone said that).

I've been here since the first day of the open Beta, I've seen every country in AH have low numbers. Knits were one of the first.
This is the first time in many many years the Bish have had low numbers while both knits and rooks have swapped the "gangbange" status many times.

Second, it really isn't strange that people leave bishops. I flew there for a while yeasterday Euro morning aswell as Euro Night and I constantly had to listen to "Oh poor us gangbanged little bishes we always fight two fron war blah blah blah" (not aimed at you falconwing) but with all that BS whining going on it quite quickly put the fun aspect away and just made it a Pain in the but to fly bish. The thing that weighed up for it was a targetrich environment.

Well perhaps my memory is selective but i cant remember a time when the knights didnt have numbers....i also cant name any knight squads that jumped to bish in over a year.  

Well, you havent flown a lot or you didnt check enuff the roster. We have been outnumbered *many* times and I had an hard work to keep my squad Knight when I was CO.

A Knight squad switching Bish? Why in the hell do you wanna to become a low level suicide fighter/bomber or limit your choice only to Lalas and Nikis?
