Fellow Rooks;
Here is a thumbnail of what the Rampaging Rooks of Retribution are all about. Should you be a Nit or Bish and like the idea then feel free to steal it or switch countries and join us. The bottom line idea is to make the game more fun by attempting to more closely emulate the way a real life military force would operate.
The overall mission of the RRR will be to protect the Rook homeland inflicting as much damage as possible on our enemies and heavy retribution to anyone who defiles our homeland..
The primary requirement for membership are mature (in mind) team players who put the welfare of Rooklandia and their squadron foremost. This may not be the place for somebody who is interested in a high scores, though we strongly suspect that if you apply our tactics you’ll live longer and score will come as a byproduct.
To be a member of the RRR’s, ability and experience are not as important as a willingness to abide by specifically laid out guidelines and proven military flight procedures as well as accepting direction from elected and volunteer leaders while engaged in squadron activities. This simulates the average guy who gets a draft notice and is then pressed into service. He will either die, survive or become a war hero. However, on the way there, he will go through a lot of training in tactics and techniques to turn him into a finely honed killing machine. Only time will tell.
It is our desire to attempt to replicate a real-world military environment as much as possible while injecting principles of democracy which will allow “all” members to take turns as a battle commander. This is the only concession we make to the reality that this is in fact a game and not a matter of life and death. Plans and orders are given and accepted because we know that in order to win you must have organization for the common good. This will be a squadron for anyone who has ever looked around the MA and thought, My God, what would have happened if we had left Schwartzkopf and Powell home and only sent grunts to lead us to victory. No offense to the average soldier, but any intelligent human and student of history should know that wars are won through planning, tactics and strategy. If you see value in a well disciplined and focused military force, then you’ll want to look at us.
You’ll see that we have rules but you’ll also see that there is nothing in our rules which will put you on KP or make you march punishment tours. Our rules are simple, immerse yourself in the mission and think how would this situation be handled by a real-life counterpart during WWII? Do the job at hand and let the master plan strategy for the entire arena to whomever is in charge that day. Yes, it is our plan to figure out a democratic plan to jointly with other Rook Squadrons appoint an El Supremo commander to lead the entire nation on to victory.
Did I tell you it was going to be fun? Well, it will be but mostly at the expense of enemies of the motherland.
Here's a link to our under construction webpage which presently includes our entire charter which will give you a complete picture of our plans.
