For the last 2 years i've flown pretty much bish exclusive, I can fly just about anything 355 days out of the year, those other 10 days we have eny up it's usually 12 or less.  Since I've been flying rook (1 month) It's been a constant dance of what you can take.  Hell I've already seen it twice in the last week where you couln't even up a ostwind.

I'd say the rooks deal with it alot.

I like the idea of a 4th country

some of the possible benefits of a 4th country:

Gang banging one country would be tougher when you can always be back doored by the 4th country.  You wouldn't see the classic "Every bish base is blinking on both rook and knight borders, and not a single base flashing between rook and knights (I've seen this at least 15+ times in the last 9 months).  Which is fine I understand that has to happen for a country to get eliminated.  But to have a twist of a 4th country, there wouldn't be that nuetral (no fly zone) border line between the gang bangers anymore.

With the players being devided by four rather than three it would cause the eny to even out a bit.

With the bonus of not always knowing who your gonna be bordered against every map would add some more combinations to the game play.

Country spying would also be less effective, it's much more powerful when you and others can see what is happening on 2 of the 3 players, but only knowing what is happening with 2 of the 4 wouldn't do you much good.

What shall the new country name be?

Ponds- no one wants to be a pond LOL
Queens- well that one you can figure out for yourself
Kings-  Has kinda a nice ring to it.

Well HT may not like the idea of redoing all the maps to have a fourth country, but the spying fees should sky rocket.  Woowoooo

Ok guys!.....

Dont let this thread die. I've heard alot of good ideas, and it seems to me I'm not the only one(by far) that belives ENY dosent work as a side ballancer. I'm not saying, nor have I ever said take ENY out of the game, but I think many of us agree I plain and simple dosent ballance sides. It never has and never will on its own. We need something else to keep it even. I'm personally tired of being limited by it. I've been a Rook ever since I started 3 years ago and will never change sides. Sure I can fly whatever when ENY is in effect and kill Bish or nits easy.   But the point is that if it truly worked It would hardly ever be in effect.


By the wat HiTech.....the day is coming soon where we have more than 750 players in game at one time. What you gonna do?

ENY is not a side balancer ... we are the side balancers.

ENY was developed to entice people to side balance and if you choose not to switch sides ... then you pay a penalty and have to fly the higher ENY planes.
