Back when I was flying more regulary in EW, following was standard:
Snailman logs on. Numbers are Bish 5 Knights 0 Rook 1 (Snailman).
All bish are "attacking" a Rook base. Snailman ups, short fight quickly ends.
Rook base stops flashing, Knight base starts.
Snailman changes sides and ups at base thats under attack. Short or no fight.
Rook base starts to flash again. Snailman stuck in Knightland for another 50 minutes. No Rook online
Bish capture Rook base, lot's of wtg's.
Somewhow I have the feeling that there has to be "fixed" in EW beyond the country switch time limit...
