Unless you believe that stuff about the free Hawaiian vacation........:rolleyes:

 If you really dont care then the whole thing has no meaning. The more you care the more exciting the game becomes. No one plays to loose they play to win because they enjoy it more. They enjoy it more because they winning is more fun than losing.

Some players clearly and quite rightly play for score like Tennis or Golf others want to play as a team and win as a team.

Its the winning as a team we would like to experience a bit more in Knights

I win or lose every 10 mins or so ! No need to wait till a map is reset. Up the aircraft of your choice, fly it to intercept enemys, and fight with it. If you win, find another enemy, if you loose, up a new aircraft.

The dynamics of each fight is new and refeshing, an endless supply of fun and challanges!!

And some play to win the next fight.  A good match-up can be pretty exciting.

No right or wrong here in either sides statements.  I play for each of the above reasons at different times.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

:lol You don't really know what you're talking about! And that's pretty weird, considering the people you have in your squad.... Bat, please, take him in some fighter sweep! I guess Slapshot's right... stinky bait!

Yarbles, again, I think you're not correct: people look at the channel, always, no matter what the discussion is about... if they don't, it's because their fighting... but I can assure you that people will ignore repeated, annoying, all bold messages....

Dedalos ---> :rofl

if you can make attack missions, why not make defence missions?

if a country can work together (rooks) why call them gangers? Just because rooks are slightly more organised than the other 2 countries does that make them gangers? no, they are just working as a team.

apparently this isnt a team game, so why 3 teams? why not FFA quake instead?


With Rooks base defense is a hit or a miss. Sometimes I'll see an "Alert P4" or what ever base go up and next thing you know 20 guys are defending that base. Then on the flip side you can see an alert go up and only 2 or 3 guys will up to defend.

I think it all comes down to momentum in this game. At least that's what I see with Rooks and even Bish. Seems if your team is on a roll it's easy to get guys to join missions and defend bases.

On the flip side if your team is getting rolled, then it's much harder to get help at base defense and to attack bases.

Knights just don't seem to be into land grabbing, except for when the sun and the moon and Pluto all line up. If you are into capturing bases and defending them, IMO the best bet is to fly Rook or Bish.

Knights IMO just don't seem to care, except for once in a great while they will go on a roll and get the momentum going. Honestly though I can't remember the last time I saw the message that the war has been won by the Knights.

Not bashing on the Nits.. just stating what I see.

Where do the guys who switch to the side with lowest numbers fit in?

I guess we're probably like the Knights, mostly. Just showed up for the fight, the tears and the beers.
