Woof
I too have flown Bishops. I maintain my position that Bishops have a virtual monopoly on tards. That is not to say they do not have some good people as well or that other teams don't have the odd tard. But those few good people on Bishops are overshadowed by an army of tard kiddies barking orders, crying, whining, pissing and moaning, with or without numbers. Keep in mind Bishops have only really had a #'s problem of any significance for the past 6 to 8 weeks. That is a blink of an eye compared to how long Rooks then Knights enjoyed the very bottom of the bucket. Now look at all the Bish whining that has taken place in that brief time. You'd think the sky was falling by the deafening roar of their crying, whining, pissing and moaning. All the while getting benefit from the ENY limiter. It is all this whining that got the ENY limiter implimented in the first place as a result of Rooks one night a week Sunday RJO's.
Being at the very bottom of the bucket for a good 6 to 8 months like Rooks and Knights were can only help Bishops IMHO. They need to learn to stop quitting and concentrate more on fightering than porking and milkrunning. Constantly being on the defensive will do nothing but help them in this regard. Those that do stick it out on Bish will be better players for it in the long run. Up until recently Bishops have always enjoyed either par numbers or a huge advantage in numbers their entire life in AH.
Bishops were the original gang-banging, horde mongering team, having been the greatest in numbers since beta and gradually tailing off to this point. This has bred an entire generation of what I call, 'Fair Weather Flyers", that is those people who will only hang around, be it online or for that country, if the situation is favorable to them. When the chips are down they either country jump or quit altogether. Watch Bishops when they get down to a few fields on a map, their numbers plummet, other teams get over-bloated and they lose quickly. Compare that to Rooks last week who were in reset corner on NDIsles. We were down to 4 bases at one point and 6 bases several times with HQ vulched. Yet, we fought back and forced that small map to last the entire 7 days from reset Wednesday to reset Wednesday from reset corner, never having the mass exodus of players Bishops do when things get bleak. This epitomizes the heart and soul of the difference between the individuals on those two teams and the feel they generate for each team, both playing for and against them. Bishops have never had the priviledge of wallowing in the very bottom of the bucket as Rooks and Knights have, this will be a new and good experience for them. Unlike Rooks and Knights Bishops have the ENY limiter to make it alot less painfull for them than it was for us.
So, after the Bishops spend a good 6 to 9 months in the very bottom of the bucket, they too can get a tee-shirt like Rooks and Knights have that proudly says, "I survived the Bucket". Call it your true initation to Aces High, enjoy.
