I thought it was the rook/bish alliance.  Or was that bish/knit alliance?  Hard to keep them straight after all these years.

One thing I do remember from back when country vs country stats were reported is that the rooks always had the highest K/D ratio against the bish and knits and the bish always had the lowest K/D ratio.

My point was that I have seen these same claims over and over and in all possible combinations over the years here.  I am sure there the ganging does happen, but there is no coordination to it and it will end as spontaneously as it began, only for the complaint to surface again in another combination.

This is absolutely incorrect. I was Bish during the last few days. Sometimes we were ganged sometimes not. But the usual whiners do notice the ganging only when it's against them, not when they are part of it.
Heck, yesterday I saw the country chat fill up repeatedly with "they never fight each other" all while there were huge Knight-Rook battles and Knights took several Rook bases   :rolleyes:


If you fly for all teams on a regular base, you will read the very same complaint on each country channel...

And after that was pointed  out, the stats were taken away....   :noid

I still dream of trooping a rook field that was closed by the bishops and claiming it for the knights.

I've come close a few times.

Good LORD, can you be more generically lacking in details?

What arena?
What day?
What time of day?  Pre-daily map change?  Post-daily map change?  
USA Prime-Time?  EU Prime-Time?  OZ-Prime Time?

I'm a rook and the personal observation I have is there is no such rook-nit alliance whatsoever USA Prime-Time, Blue Arena...we're getting clobbered by everybody.

In LW Blue (last few weeks) USA Prime-Time...a few evenings are a Bish/Nit Rainbow Love Alliance while both gang the rooks...but that's ONLY during USA Prime-Time and say 2-3 evenings a week--usually THU-FRI-SAT'days.
