Rook, Nit or Bish?? who has the close ties?

[oTRALFZo]

Ive been playing bish and AH for about 2 years now and only been on both darksides a couple times. Seems to me the bish has the most close ties with eachother, but some would disagree. how would you rate your country in this category

I have heard that the bish are the tightest group in AH and perhaps the most cuddly, if reports of the Bish pajama parties are to be believed.

chess pieces. nothing more. if there's someone i don't like flying with me, i'll change sides. if i need to to find a fight i'll change sides. doesn't really matter. i'm friendly with almost everyne in here,

All countries are more or less the same.  They have the same mixture of furballers, hordlings, strat guys, nice guys, jerks, characters, and jokesters.  As well as the occasional gal.

I think perception of difference is just an opinion based on limited exposure/experience.  I used to believe that there were certain traits but the more I flew with the folks on the three countries I realized it's pretty homogeneous.

From my limited bouncing around Bish have been more friendly for sure, always some one in the area that says hello and most a great to fly with. Nits had some guys that talked and welcomed me there, Rooks i felt like I had Leprosy.

[The Fugitive]

if you fly on only one side all the time your missing out on two thirds of the people you could get to know. There are a number of guys I hate getting shot down by, and I used to really hate them. Now that I've flown with most of them from switching sides, most are nice guys, and fun to fly with. At least now they apologize after they shoot me down

I have close ties with alot of players. Some from each country. I stay in Rookland but get to fly with about everyone at one time or another when they come to visit. Am I loyal to a chess piece? No, but my Squadron is Rooks only and I'm loyal to them.

Started out the game (three gameIDs ago) as a knight. Went Bishop this go round and have winged with a few rooks that I respect. I would have to agree that the Bish nation is the most loyal and has the most players that fly exclusively with their "country".

[spit16nooby]

i actually meet more people by dieing then anything else.  one time me and this guy got to talking about how many hispano shots my 190-d took and didnt stop talking until i had to go.

[Heretic]

I've been playing this game now for 4 or 5 years.  I honestly can't remember when I first joined.

I started out as a Bishop and my first name was SEgunner then it was SEstud.       No offense to  the SE's but I just got burned out playing as a Bish.  I even tried to get the squad to go Knights but that was shot down.     

I left the Bish and went Rook for about a week and not one person would say a word to me.  I would give check 6's and say WTG to fellow Rook players but I was shunned.
The next week I went Knights and the guys and gals there are very cordial and fun to fly with.   Within 2 weeks I was with the VMF441st BlackJacks and the rest is history.

Bish are the most friendly, any time I end up back over there I have to spend a couple of minutes responding to everyone's greetings (which is a good thing). The Rooks, on the other hand, are harder to get along with in general but there are some fantastic characters over there. My squad flys Rooks most of the time so I spend most of my time with them. The Rooks are by far the most useful in a dogfight. I always find that there are more Rooks willing to jump in and help if you're in trouble (and actually make something of it while they're at it) than the other sides. No slight against the Bish, there just seems to be a larger group of 'fighter types' on the Rooks.

yup, I have no idea why people think one country is better/worse than the next.

[Adonai]

Where I did a little country hopping for a tour - I found Arch's point right - bish wont help you but are quite loyal, knits are quite friendly yet either horde or completely out numbered - and Rooks are generally better fighter pilots, but well we have drdeath, tripl5 and valdals
so yeah each country has its up and downs.

[Captfish]

My squad has flown all the countries and in the end they are all the same. Alot of squeakers, alot of armchair genrals, and alot Noobs ,but no matter where you go you will be able to find a few guys, that are helpful, intelligent, friendly and just fun to fly with. I say go with what ever chess piece fit you, cause it's really the same.
 


*actually rooks are better, I just had to give you the diplomatic answer first ......
