Warning: The Surgeon General has determined that...

[sling322]

Ya know, I have said this before and I will say it again, but I wonder sometimes if we are all playing the same game in the same arena.  Its really amazing how each country sees the same thing..ie. "we are getting gangbanged".  I have seen many nights as a Bish when we may have numbers, but that doesnt mean jack.  We always seem to be involved in a 2-sided war and the only thing that keeps us from being overrun is the truly amazing skill of our pilots and our numbers.    You knits and crooks fail to realize that in order for Bish to be effective, we have to have dominating numbers because we loathe flying together with a common goal.    

Thats why we have the Bishlandia credo:
"All for one and all for one.  Its the Bishland way."

Scale ack strength around HQ and main fields inversely to a country's manpower. Underpopulated countries would have extra ack for defense and shelter from gang bangs. Very hard to kill HQ during off-peak hours.

LOL, yyyeeaaaaaa  right.  It only makes sense that if a country has less people it will obviously have more manpower and thus should have more guns, yea that makes sense....IN LA LA LAND!

The only difference between a 2 sided war and a 3 sided war is the number of sides involved in the war.

The gangbanging remains the same, much like the whining.

Mox, if you remember correctly, Knights were labeled the 'Red Headed Step Child' from V.34 until JG2 recruited about 55 members...we were ALWAYS understaffed.  Hell, TWC came over to Knits because they felt sorry for us and our numbers..where you been, and what you smoking Moss?  I'd like some please.  

Edit: I know where your coming from, all of us have been frustrated at one level or another when things are not going well for 'our side'.  Just last week, while witnessing no fights between Rooks and Bish, I spouted off to a good online friend (Fatty)...thankfully, he was tolerant of my outburst, and I quickly apologized to him soon after...something <Names Withheld) could never muster up enough "Cohones" to do to me after <Names Withheld> went off on me.

Can somebody explain why it would be different with only two sides?  Is it some type of new math or something?

Pepe,
Excellent post....

I think that the arena owes the ROOKS an appology!

• You may have a case of minority discrimenation... maybe restitution of property looses over the last 1 1/2yrs are in order here. If everyone gave say 300 perkies to the ROOKS for restitution it might help to heal the wounds that we have been caused.  
• I have noticed that the ROOK pilots that are bailing after being shot down are shorter than before. The smoke must be stunting there growth. I feel bad for the little bounders.. they are looking more like boys then men lately. This is REALLY NOT right.. ROOKS need dignity too!
• I suggest that all Knight and Bishop Squadron CO's instruct there squads to fly level and slow over ROOK fields and not take evasive moves. The ROOKs confidence must be built back up and they should again feel equal to the rest of the arena. We need to deal with these emotional needs.
• Tromatic as it sounds... please refrain from violating ROOK Sheep herds. This also is upsetting ROOK pilots because.. being first IS important at times to some.
• I for one think that the secret alliances we make should cease for a while. We have always known that when we make pacts to destroy ROOKS together and not fight each other they get mad. Having never openly admitted this for years has really not for a REAL HEALING to take place. We need to look outside our selfish selves and think about the needs of the downtroden and oppressed.
• Lastely, we should return the picture of the we stole at the Rook HQ of the "ROOK" Commander in Chief. This need to be rightly returned and again displayed in the Rotunda in the ROOK Capital Building. I am returning it in hopes of better relations in the future.

Rooks had by far the greatest numbers in Beta 1, Beta 2, and Beta 3.  I remember at times only having 3 or 4 knights on when there were 15 rooks and 10 bishops.

It wasn't until JG2 formed that knights became even with the other countries, and when TWC joined us rooks became the smallest country.  They have since gone back and taken many of the knights that used to be only knights.  The bucanners (sp) also left us recently.    Jg2 is pretty much gone as well.  Actually I'd say the knights have a hard time since most of our numbers rotate to other countries each tour.

I have to admit though, rooks are a little understaffed the last couple weeks when I've been on.

Bloom, think of JG2's numbers now replaced with MAG-33, that 5 VMF squardrons in the same country, for a total of 74 members.

I was on this weekend and I really felt bad for the ROOKS on friday night and saturday morning. Couldn't have been much fun for them. When the arena is down to 2 fields at one country I think it should be reset. I think any country should have the courtesy to finish the job and not just exploit this vulching situation for a 24hr period. BTW... I went over to ROOK during this period at the request of another ROOK. I saw it first hand... OOooch!
