knock on wood

[bozon]

I officially announce that knights are even worse than rooks at taking bases.

Strapped in my mossie. A look to the right at the empty starboard seat made me realize that my navigator has passed out drunk again somewhere. OK, short ride to a bish base, I dont need a navigator for that. Flew over to the bish base, Killed a couple of niks, then remembered I had bombs in the belly, so I bombed the already damaged VH, saved the other bomb and circled the base waiting for someone to spawn so I can bomb-vulch him.

A bunch of knits arrived and de-acked the place. I encouraged them from above (like hell I am going below 7k over a large field...). No bish. Dumped my bomb on something (playing since 2001 and I still don't know what all the structures are...) and started to strafe the control tower, an old habit of mine.

No bish.

I decided to save some fuel by waiting on their runway, so I enter the pattern and make a perfect landing. While I am down here, I may as well tour the place... pick up some souvenirs and such.

No bish.

OK, the control tower is right over there, I'll go knock see if someone is in. I parked in front of the tower and started knocking:



Nobody home?
But hush! what is that buzz? a brave bish defender has taken off in... in... a Storch?!
I wave to him as he passes 10 meters over me and the cheeky bastage shot me with his rear gun!



Luckily, his rifle-caliber gun cannot penetrate my plywood armor. I decide to accept the challenge and have a gears-down dogfight with him. Unfortunately, he was promptly shot down by another knit that cheated and had his gears up.

Acks started to pop back up. The downed Storch pilot decided to trade his flying 7.62 mm gun for a stationary 88mm artillery and wins the HO.

<S> to kent521 for supplying some unorthodox action.

The base was not captured by the knits despite being down and completely undefended for more than 30 minutes.

HEHEHEHE I LOVE IT!

You know its funny, it took me a long time to realize that the control tower was actually a place on the field and not just a screen, same with the indestructable.

Knits are actually fantastic at taking bases.  We can take any base we choose whenever we choose.  If we didn't take a base its because we didn't choose to take it.  We have our reasons.  They are top secret reasons.  So secretive that no Knight is allowed to know them all but rest assured that every time a war is "won", by any chess piece, its because the Knights decided it would be won and who would win it.  Its no easy task to keep up the appearance of being a bunch of unorganized, furballing, gv spawn fighting, A.D.D. riddled goof offs while we go about completing our actual objectives.

I may have said too much...there's an upside down black Storch circling outside 

[Muzzy]

Yet another example of what the wooden wonder is capable of.

This!

Knights are the most awesome and highly skilled players in the game! We have risen above such frivolous things like "Taking bases" and "Winning the War". Some times we will humor your Rooks and Bish by taking a base, or even winning a war, but we are only humoring you as we are incredibly bored at the time.

This is true
I often turn up to a town in an m3 or goon
with supplies of beer and pizza...
it's more fun having a party than getting caught up in the Comercial world of real estate

I prefer to sit at 12K and feed on the chow line of La7/Spit16/K4/Niki/51D/47M with a Temp dessert bar that streams in from the next base thinking we are all on the deck working the town. Mossi is a great bouncer at the door of a party.
Sorry my Bish brethren let you starve.

it's always the same every month.  we knights fight the rooks at the beginning of the month just for the fun of it.  we like to shoot down astronauts.  then at the end of the month we get lazy and we want easy kills so we only fight the bishops then.

bases that are taken are usually done by those 3 guys who always switch to even the sides.

Most of my aerial kills are of knits, I'm too lazy to chase rooks into the mesosphere.

I once deacked  a large Bish field and town with a storch, only to have Latrobe and his band of merry misfits show up in wingless C-47's and try to resupp it. one of them accidently brought troops and we ended up capturing it. man did the Knights give us hell for that one ! I think Latrobe is still grounded

I'm no longer in charge of loading up the C47s after that mix up. 

[Lab Rat 3947]

So secretive that no Knight is allowed to know them all

And if any Knight does learn all the rules, the rules automatically change. 

Except for the rule about not talking about the rules . . . . uh oh, I think I hear a Storch motor 

[Draggon]

Night before last within a 4 hour period we "THE KNIGHTS" has taken 8 bases, then I took two more bases by myself. Then last night when I logged on I seen that not only did we still have those 10 bases but had a couple more. So you see gentlemen, the Knights we not only Can, but DO take bases, we just wait until you Nooks and Bits get to Happy with Juice that you see more then one screen when you only have just one...lol

We wait until you get to full of yourselves and over confident than we strike.. hehehehehe!
(Ohh wait, did I just give away a secret..lol) My bad!
