Im one of those evil country hopping spies too :). Out of chioce, because i have friends on many countries and like to fly outnumbered.

Do i get smack at times for that? Heck yes. But i usually say "goodbye Knits, im off to help the poor rooks, see yas later and good hunting" or something along those lines. When i get the "You ***** spy" treatment, i also smile and say, "sorry, Bish paid me more this week ;-)" and smile about it. The "Hello Schatzi, what are you doing flying with a green icon here? " usually outweight the bad responses.

I guess you guys just caught a bad day.

That said.... the grass IS greener on the other side. Always ;).



What i want to say is this: You can choose to switch countries and live with the consequences it brings. Or you can stay "loyal" to your chesspiece and also live with the consequences (ENY, etc) like LTARokit pointed out.

You all have points here. I think his main complaint is that he didnt want to horde, he wanted to fly with his squad mates. Being forced to change sides just because you want to fly with friends really sucks. However, the high ENY isnt all that bad. When I get the "no ENY<25" (Which is the highest I have had) I just say hey, ill fly a P-40B instead of an E. Might as well give it a try. Especially in the EW, if you cant fly an ENY less than 10, it doesnt get any worse. (Not that I like the Uber planes, I use P-40s far more) Just take it as a chance to experience something new.

Straffo,
be fair, you should concede a remarkable consistency to some of the most vocal cheerleaders around here. No matter what MA system we are (or had been) discussing about (the old MA or the new system) they dance(d) the same way. Hat off.

It's not numbers hat bugs me. I have no loyalty really to Knights , rooks , or bish. Fly kights cause thats where I been and started basically. I have flown Rooks as well and they are all the same.

But , If you can't fly with your friends you enjoy flying with , talking to , having a laff with because "people should switch sides" , then why play.

I mean the squad I fly with is really more fun to joke with , talk , shoot the crap whatever , than flying agaisnt them for the "Sake of gameplay".

We can go the DA and do that.

There maybe several squads that fly all over the place in differnt chess piece areas , but we have always flown together. Like I said...If I want to shoot or be shot by squaddies...We'll take it to the DA.
