First of all Cap were not just flying on the Rooks side, we actually follow around the Playmates. If the playmates are done with the rooks then we go bish. The problem with all the guys leaving is that you and them were playing with the Playmates exclusively while the rest of the squad was doing their thing. We did base takes in EW to promote fights, not to win the map. You never really got the concept about that and preferred the warm fuzzy feeling of the awards ceremony that the playmates have after every base take and map reset. Lips, Lazy and myself did not want to play with the kind of odds that the knits were putting on other countries. Logging on in the morning and seeing 15 knits taking undefended bases and virtually (because of lopsided countries) taking all fighting tools away from said countries isn't mine nor their cups of tea.
It's fine about people moving on and playing how they want but you knew lips was a no nonsense Co. Some guys left because we moved out of EW and they didn't like MW. Other people left like you left because they like that big squad feel, safe and cozy. It wasn't like our squad had any awesome skills and were dominating everyone. We were just doing what we always did and that was to have fun. I find the squad to be better now . As far as strife goes I again was voicing my opinion as was lazy and Lips about some of your guys game play. I am glad your happy and so are the remaining Hired Guns. Unfortunately for some of the guys that left their lack of so called cartoon skills have been exposed. I don't know about you cause I don't run into you often but none of our old squaddies have improved an once since leaving. The only thing that I have seen improve is their ranks.

read a few posts up dude. i'm not always with them. i fly where i find a fight. i don't need to have anyone near me to fight.
when we're doing base takes, it is to promote fights. you should've been on last night(i logged around 1230 estearn), and heard my squadmates trying to decide where to go
to find a fight. saturday night(my first time on in around a month) i upped at a base, found a hotard, and went somewhere else to fight. found some good ones too. left that area to go support my squaddies, till i saw another base in trouble, then went there to try n defend(and fight).
i don't remember too much strife within the squad when we moved from ew to mw, but it was probably there. it was probably nowhere near the strife caused by switching to rook though.
you said you guys follow the playmates around, but i thought i saw you flying knight this past weekend?
knights being on in the AM takinog bases is the same as the rooks or bish doing that in the little hgours of the night...when everyone else logs off.
i(and i think others) were playing with the playmates more than our own squad, because there was never anything going on. there was(at that tinme anyway) no base attacks(to promote a fight), no nothing. just log on and fly, with the Hg attached to ya. the playmates are very good at provoking a fight.
as for improvement? my gv skills have improved ever so slightly. my air to air skills? probably the same, possibly a bit worse, as i;ve been flying the p38 o deth almost exclusively for the last 2 or 3 tours....and will continue to do so till i can fight anything in the arenas with confidence in her. i never hid behind you guys, and i don't do that with the playmates now. i get into low alt scraps......just had one HELLUVA good fight against snaphook yesterday, when i found him above me. i almost got him too. i've gotten myself into multiple 2 and 3-1's me being the one.......
i always get decent fighter advice from mace, rodent, slpknot, and others in my squad too...something that i hadn't gotten from any of the HG in over a year.
anyway....<<S>>
