What happened to Knits?
« Reply #75 on: April 25, 2007, 06:57:24 PM »
When I look on range (assuming there's anyone ON range,) and I see a buncha cpids I don't recognize, I assume I'm surrounded by noobs, will get no 6 calls, and fully expect the lot of them to steal every kill I dont finish off. The only advantage of them being around is they distract some of the La7's:eek:

A year doesn't make you a vet in my eyes, that's still a n00b just to clearify a few things

Dunno they were doing alright in LW Orange tonight, although if you add that us Bish were getting 262s for 70 perks, you might work out why :) .

Bish put a lot of missions together cause we like to be organized more then the other two countrys. granted some of the missions are dweebish but you got to have some fun missions as well. i know with the LTARs we normaly do one fun raid a day to just cut up and have fun then its back to taking bases and defending them.

so i have read some that say 1 year is still a noob 2 year is still a noob 3 year just a step above noob so someone tell me what they think is a vet in this AH life.

Salute.
Congratulations, Kilz!  Your post was almost coherent! The Ritalin is obviously working.

Wrag you're definatly one of the long time Knit vets I'm talking about and always enjoy flying with. Like I said before, there are some guys, some old timers and long time friends that you just know that if they are in the area they badguys are in for a hell of a ride. You know they've got your 6, give 6 calls if needed and as long as they see it. Come to help, communicate and are just plain fun to fly and talk with. Without these guys I doubt I'd still be flying AH. It's become so much more then a game thanks to alot of great virtual pilots and friends.

I have definatly enjoyed flying with the Bish more then the Knits these past few days LTARKilz, it was almost  like "coming home" for some reason. !

I don't have no chess piece hysteria, I will go and fly where I have most fun. Be it Knit, Bish or Rook I will go and fly with the people I know and enjoy flying with.

Funny to hear about what each country is or isn't, or what it does or doesn't do.  Especially humorous to hear some think the Bish give more 6 calls than the Knits after I just verbally spanked about 12-15 bish (almost all with names I've never seen before) defending a base for not saying a single word for almost ten minutes.  Seems I'm saying more often to the Bish "Anyone there?", "radio check", "Hey, do you guys even own mics?"  LOL

I guess all types of behavior happens on all sides, but occurs to different degrees in some kind of cycle, hence the different perceptions of, and by, each country at any one point in time.

From my general observation of the Bish's reaction to the other two countries, it seems their general perspective is the Knits are less of a threat.  Not trying to insult anyone, and it's not really said outright, but I think the Bish are rarely even concerned with what the Knits do in the long run since they don't do it very well (as they used to, and I'm not talking about individuals).  

The Rooks are seen as dangerous only if we let them get up a head of steam and don't respond quickly enough.  Even then, I would concur they have less stamina than they used to, as depicted with the anology of a snowball that melts away on it's own.

Certainly there are great sticks, squads and missions on all sides, and eventually the cycle will shift, the perspective change.  However, I'm inclined to believe the recent changes to the game have caused this, and some permanent and detrimental impact to the player community.  

Certainly, seeing the same (dam*) arenas over and over and over and over again, ad nauseum, is not helping.  Nor is having to endure the now ever more lopsided ENY.  In the old MA structure I hated the ENY then, but I never, ever saw an ENY of 29 reached, and rarely one that reached 20.  I can remember at least 3 times in the past few weeks when the Bish were flying bicycles with rubber band props because ENY reached 29.  HiTech get a clue, it ain't working.

Wilbuz TY Sir
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

I always enjoy flying in your area, Wil.  I don't have to worry about you stealing kills or not helping out when needed.  You are one o fthe best at general communications and logical strategy when winging!  I remember we were up at 19 on new pizza a month or so ago defending an overrun base and landed 8 to 10 kills every sortie, allthe while upping from said base.   It was Schweeeeeet!~

We Knits have always been the redheaded stepchild of the land grab game. I can count on one hand how many Knit resets I've witnessed since I started.

Bishsticks and Crooks have some silent aggrement to tag team the Knits.

Over the last 6 months or so I've noticed bish starting to be more like that.

Being a Knit myself. I'd say there are only a handful. a dozen or two that are like that.
Most arent.

I'll rush over to help anyone I see looks like they are in trouble and will announce Im commig to help.

Knits. Outside of a couple dozen. I could have 6 on me and I've seen some fly right by LOL


If you see me on PM me, I am usually away from the horde.  

Dred, typically I am able to pretty much accurately guess who is in a plane.  Many Rooks have heard me call out at least The Squadron, and sometimes the pile-it.  

I stink though, some say I lie, so I must suck.   I'll never be a vet.
