Knight Rook or Bish

2.)  Why is it that when you were a rook, you were THE ONE higher than me?   You generalized a "point" and now you are getting burned by the same.   As far as "dive to the deck like a bunch of grils".   Get over yourself.    

Why is it the "one's who claim to be the top sticks" are so full of watermelon that they get lost in the methane aroma to speak the truth?

Vanscrew just got owned so bad.  

Vans is always in the hoard, at least 15k or higher. He likes to fly with the numbers where he feels safer. He thinks cause he finally learned how to merge that he can own anybody now. Its actually very funny.

And vanscrew...the knights, bish, and rooks all have their equal share of good sticks as well as ALL countries have their share of alt monkeys.  Such as last night in Blue, the bish and the knights were the ones at 10k+ and rooks otd.

I have been a Knight since I started.  I have found that we dont win resets.  We are uncoordinated at times and I have issues with that.  I see some hope with the Knights but then a Bish horde smacks us around and we scatter.  It is not that the Bish are better than us is that we cant keep the ball rolling.  I believe that this is due to the fact that the there are more Knights that do not play regularly due to jobs, family or other things.  I see alot of coordination on the weekends and then on Monday morning the Bish are at it again.  Oh well I like an underdog and will continue to join the missions and furball with the best.  THE KNIGHTS.  Just remember my name I dont hide.  If you kill me I will re-up until I get ya.  Even if it takes me 10 to 20 times.

You're wrong, Yarbles. What pisses us off is that the horde people seems not to realize that overwhelming number will never teach them anything, not will do anything to hone their skills. That's the trouble. Anyone can get some kills when fighting 50 vs 5, even if he's barely able to fly. Needless to say, he'll keep sticking with the horde and never learn to fight.

The right attitude is Gra's one. Get up, get killed, re up and fight again and again, and die, again and again and again! Challenge the pilots better than you to DA, learn from them, record all of your sorties and review them... read books, articles on the net and everything you can find, and you'll learn to fly and fight, you'll get rid of the horde and you'll discover how rewarding is to to fight 1 vs 3 and shoot them all down...
Of course, this is just my idea of fun, but I find really boring to fly with some other tens of country mates.... there's no challenge and no skills involved.

As for the topic of this thread, as many as already said, in all the 3 countries you'll find good guys, nice fellows who'll make you laugh, morons and any kind of pilots, from toolshedders to furballers, armchair generals and mindless airquakers... IMHO, it doesn't really matter what country you fly for, as already said too many times on this forum, this is just a game, the only thing that matters is having fun, in any form you want it. The war and winning it is not the purpose of this game, so, in my perspective, I don't care if Knights don't win reset, I find myself at home there and, most of the times, I'll fly there.
You just have to find the group of people with whom you like most to play, Yarbles.

See you all in the sky! <>

I noticed one problem with the Knights the other day.  

Three LTARs, Kils, Jaco and myself, went to Knights to help with low numbers.  We were under attack by the Bishops and they were dumping lots of troops.  When Knights got a handle on that, we took the fight to the Bishops V-Base.  With two spawns into that base and multiple GVs moving on it, the air wing went over and started capping and taking down VHs.  I rolled troops and when I got close, two Typhies flew in.  They found me, and promptly sent me to the tower.  I re-upped and again, as I got close, one Typhy, being chased by 4 or 5 Knights flew right at me and killed me again.

Now, at the time I was towered by the Typhy, there were at least 6 or 7 Knights flying cap with more inbound.  I headed back with a goon, as others were bringing in troops with M-3s.  As I was approaching the mid-way point with my Goon, here come all the air cap.  I asked if someone was remaining to cap the V-Base and I was told, "we're low on ammo".  They flew off into the sunset and that was the last I saw of the Knight Airforce.  I climbed and orbited for about 5 minutes hoping they would come back as the two Typhies, which had been shot down and returned pounded the M-3s.  The VHs popped, vehicles poured out and that was that.

It was as if they said "Well, the bullets were gone, the fight was over.  Oh well, lets go somewhere else."

That was how my one hour back on the Knights went.

Whether an isolated incident or not, it was VERY reminiscent of when we were flying with the Knights.  Knights would have a big attack on, then all of a sudden, you found yourself alone in the skies surrounded by red and you would see your attack group landing kills and going some place else.  They would not come back and press the fight.

It's funny how a useless thread is still trogging on.

It's funny how you keep reading it and making constructive contributions.

What has been constructive in this whole thread?   I've read the same whines and "accusations" of dweebery, which haven't changed in the over 5 years I've been playing AH.

I made 2 posts prior to my last one which is to the point, and therefore the ones "who do not agree", are the one's who it would have been directed at.  I'll see your  and raise you a .   I hate using em but for once they convey everything nicely.

But Gian that makes too much sense.

Personally I dont really understand having loyalty to a chess piece.  Its just a chess piece.  Me and many others will switch side whenever feel like it and have fun on any side.  Each side has people that are fun to fly with and will never experience it until you fly for a different side.  Some of us go where the fight is or others go to have fun with friends they dont always fly with.

Me too.  I'm in Nazgul which is primarily a Rook squad, but I switch.   It is hardly fun when you are one of 150 players in rookland, thrashing 80 Knights, and 100 Bish.   I'll check the roster and if some friends are on in the other countries, I'll switch and wing em.  

I no longer "pledge allegance to a chess piece".

Why yes you have made two post prior to that one.  And here they are.  First one was to degrade another pilot for his post.  Then a  condescending post about play, and my favorite, a whine about how lame the thread you keep reading is.  And then a double up on the lame thread post in general.  
In short, what I have come to expect from any of your posts.  Comic relief in the form of ridicule.

Which is why you pick and vultch in a Tempest? Get off of your Shetland Pony.

If it "takes a thread like this to light a fire to fight", well that is sad.

It's funny how a useless thread is still trogging on.

You asked what has been constructive in the whole thread?  The thread in general has been interesting.  It shows how others view the different sides and how they view the tactics and strategies of the other sides.  Worthless to you, but 190 post worth of peoples input on a topic.  Even your input though not constructive, keeps people reading it and coming back for more.  So I guess in your own way, you are contributing.  You keep people reading this thread and adding to it.

I don't have an "elitist attitude" in game, and contradict myself in here.     But it seems other's have at one point placed themselves on a pedestal, and continue with the same "whines" under a different heading.

Finally, if you wish to take this personally.   Take it to PM"s, I've never had an issue with you.

That's what I meant! Play the game the way it gives you most fun! If you feel you want to fly for a country... do it! If you feel you just want to jump from furball to furball, regardless of country... do it! If you fly Knight and one day you want to switch because the green fields are on the wrong and boring part of the map... do it! I'm gonna switch, too, if any good fight is around! I'm not loyal to any chess piece, I'm loyal only to my fun.

Gah this makes too much sense.
