That's the first time...

thanks to the OP you made something happen I have never before. Surfinn complain.

  It was all Ghi's managing..I was there for encouragement...Hahah!! Buttholesurferdude..U asked for it..The Ghi Bishop's Bannana Bus!!

    It's just a result of the current game dynamic. Bish have become boring to fight for both Knits and Rooks. So the Knits attack the Rooks to get a good fight going and the Rooks don't have enough players to fight on two fronts. I likened it to WW2 Germany.
    Many Rooks just could care less the Bish were rolling bases. They found fun Fights at the Knit front. There is no penalty for losing a Map anyway. Who wants to spend the night getting bombed or vulched on the runway.
    Lets Change the Dynamic of this game and force the players to engage in combat.

    How about the holy grail that all players want? Fighter Perks! Attach Fighter perk bonuses to Ammo Bunkers destroyed and then more players will go out of their way to "Stop the Horde by Porking the Ord".

I just think of it as creative griefing. Not unlike the other day when GBlade and buddy switched to Bish, rallied some help in taking a zone base and moved Bish strats to the front. There just happened to be a Nit CV on hand.

Anyone else completely clueless as to what SirLoin is attempting to say or is it just me

It's just you

nits and rooks should ignore the bish for a couple tours. They get good fights and bish can roll undefended bases. Everyone is happy.

I think sirloin is proud. jokers are his family, hording his life.

Knits and Rooks ignoring the Bish.  That would be a switch.  Normally they ignore each other.

The past few days of this map is pretty much a poster for all that's wrong with the current game dynamic. Bish rallied their typical horde and rolled bases. Meanwhile, gains that had been made by Rooks earlier in the week were reversed by the newly formed hordes the Knight front. All week on every front I found myself heavily outnumbered anywhere I could find a fight. (when I could find one with no Darbar) On the occasions the darbar was active, views of the Northern Bish/Knight front revealed little to no activity and both Rook fronts covered by heavy red darbars.

I spent the better part of last night on the Bish front trying to rally any support in gaining any territory back. The prevailing wisdom was that the southern front was too heavily defended to make any gains. So, in typical Aces High fashion, rather than try to battle it out and win territory, missions were directed instead at undefended bases which is pretty much SOP in the MA anymore.

To summarize: Hordes rule the day. But not good fighting hordes. Rather the kind of hordes who direct all their effort into avoiding any kind of combat at all. And now there is a new way to prolong the torture of the side who is getting gang raped by the other two sides.

No, it's a petty, childish way of playing. What the Bish did today is why they are considered the crap of the game.

Nice of you to say -- since all three sides do it.

In the lobby there are very large shoe horns for getting one's head disloged from sand.

if one country only needs 2 or 3 bases to win--then win it instead of dragging it out--or loseing there own bases just to make it harder for them to win..2 or 3 times this week the bish and the rooks each had chances to win that map-and purposely did not do it..that is not right...and thats the kind of crap people don't like--play to win the map--win it-move on to the next map--rinse and repeat.maps are set to auto rotate after 5 days--i think---it should be changed to 4.trinity is the only map i don't mind playing for 5 days.nuff said..

You boys are just being silly.  Please take responsibility for your own fun, look on your fellow players with kindness and have a bit of patience with the game and you won't be so frustrated.  I love that this game is a challenge, you can control nothing but yourself.  Gameplay is transitional, you won't always be able to do exactly what you want to do all the time.  Go with the flow, or you will just tire of swimming upstream and getting nowhere.

Merry Christmas  All

In a perfect world I would agree, but what the Bish did wasn't trying to win the war, they went out of there way to roll Rook bases just to pizz them off. I love to fight, win or lose it doesn't matter..... who am I kidding I love to WIN!    But going against a horde isn't fighting, especially the Bish horde. They don't bother to fight back. They mindlessly divebomb/lawndart them selves over and over base after base. Wheres the fight in that?

Nice of you to say -- since all three sides do it.

All three sides have their hordes, but griefing a country because you had a big horde and could isn't what the other hordes do. If they had put that effort into winning the war they while it's just another horde run by the Bishops, it isn't pushing that greifing button.

....and if you don't believe that the bish didn't do this to tick off the rooks, you might want to use that shoe horn you mentioned.
