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

[stephen waldron]

  You know the Star Trek analogy really works well here.  The Knights are the Federation.  Professional and loyal to one another.  The Bishops are the Klingons.  First loyalty to their warrior clans (squadrons).  They're also just as quick to kill each other as a Knight or Rook pilot.  I've seen lots of evidence of this open hostility between Bishops causing unnecessary casualties in engagements.  Very Klingon like behavior.  The Rooks are of course the Romulans.  Lots of attitude, but no numbers.  Occasionally they swarm like Klingons, but they don't like to stick around where they can be seen. 
  Weird isn't it ?  Maybe Star Trek has been imprinted so deeply on our culture we subconsciously mold ourselves into a likeness of it without even being aware of what we are doing.  LOL.

My brain thoroughly permutates into one of three configurations everytime I type  ".country x" in the text buffer of "Aces High".  I suspect astrology could tell me more about this.

Rooks are more than a country.

We are a government. Go rook  .

And you reached this conclusion because you've been flying how long?  Please explain how the Bish cause unnecessary casualties against their own countrymen?  Open hostility?  The only open hostility I ever see on the bish side is from the old timers when we get a bunch of "squeaker generals" barking orders for all and I know that happens in every country whenever the "squeaker" season opens.  Well If being a bish means that I'm a klingon, I wanna mate with Belonna Torres from Voyager. hehehhe

All the Best...

Rooks are more of an autonomous collective. We are generally incapable of working together for any extended period of time. We also horde particularly poorly and have been known to do dopey things like trying to vulch an airfield for over an hour without first taking down the ack, radar, vh etc. We also could be better about clearing each other's sixes instead of pursuing the easy kill. We clearly don't like taking orders even when they make sense (see point one).

That said, I've been Rook since I started this game and am fiercely loyal to my "country" despite its dysfunctions. We have some of the best overall pilots and at this point I'd feel like a turncoat flying with anyone else. I can usually expect a six call when I'm playing with older Rooks, and I appreciate that. Since I haven't flown with other countries I can't comment on overall player respect and civility towards one another, but I imagine its no better or worse than the other countries.

It doesn’t matter which side you're on… we’re still dweebs that play a bad bellybutton cartoon game

My squad and I used to fly as Bish; but went on a month tour w/ the Rooks and never returned to the motherland 

LOL! Sunbat

Don't sell your team short.  No team hordes as well as rooks.

ooh-rah.

To a point this is just middle age men screaming for their fav football team

I was gone for a while and when i came back nothing has changed. its seems like there is just a diff vibe from each team.

As someone said earlier, bish are loyal to squads, i think if you are in a squad chances are you will give anything for them.
Bish are friendly with one another but you will NEVER ever get a "Check 6" from 'em. bish talk on channel a lot too, not much range talk. and i think the reason why bish are known to be "touchy feely" is because it seems like there are a lot of die hard bishies and you dont see much of that on the other squads(not saying that its a good thing)

i have done little flying on the rook and knit but i was not a fan of rook because i got no cooperation and from knit i enjoyed it a lot

but mainly to anyone new reading, just make friends and have fun, dont worry about disliking him because hes a bish or rook just fly

The Bish have the funnest squads. The Sick Puppies are a true brotherhood of friends that I have yet to find in the other countries.But they're diehard bish and probably consider me a traitor for switching sides.

I don't think any of the Pups thought you were a traitor I have never heard any one say that or any thing like it. I was always puzzled by the sudden change of squads with out any notification though or as to why. But you know we each have to search out what is best for ones self. You have always been liked & respected & I think I can say on behalf of the rest of the Pups you are missed.

[AAolds]

AA has been flying on all sides regularly now and I see no real differences between the sides.

[texasmom]

You know, I can't think of a rook female.  Maybe there are some that fly non-US primetime that I don't know of.  Who am I forgetting? 

Sherie's been a rook each time I've seen her logged on in the past years.
