Need More Rooks
« on: December 16, 2016, 11:24:00 AM »
Ever since aces high 3 came out rook numbers have fallen. I know many players have to fly with eny penalty and also many players want more fighting action. The eny problem and lack of battles can be solved by some of you to fly rook. I understand country loyalty but what good is that if the game play sucks. What I am asking for is some of you to fly for the rooks to increase the fun factor and balance the game. I will offer all that come over to rooks free encouragement. I will also praise your accomplishments and say sweet things about you. There is no 401k but I'm hoping you will settle for 30k. I also offer a discount on all perk planes and tanks during non peak hours. You will also get many more bases to defend and a increase in kills and personal score. Free challenge of seeing if you can actually make a difference in the constant loosing of every map. Last but not least you will get to see a friendly red flag. All kidding set aside everyone would win by increasing rook numbers because it would lead to better game play.

I'd actually agree rooks do seem to have the lowest numbers most often. But when I'm on its the morning when Bish have always normally had the numbers (Jokers get a big turnout) and Tuesday/weekend nights...POTW/JG11 ect ect Knight squads have big turnouts.

Wouldn't min seeing the hour rule come back so the country hopping squads come back and even it out a bit.

We Rooks could use a few more players but as underdogs we can still have fun kicking around the bigger countries.  Not easy, we will not win many maps but we sure can be a thorn in their sides.

Yesterday we had the bish chasing us all over the map.

The only way we can win maps is to have more people involved in base captures.

I think 3 hrs would be better but still could have a spy

If they're hiding the CV it deserves to be sunk.

What's the worst that can happen if there is a spy?  Enemies show up and a fight breaks out?  I'm... not seeing an issue here.

Sure makes it easy to find something to shoot at, sometimes more than I can aim at.

The 1 hour would have no impact on spying since anyone with a second account or a friend can reveal cv locations. The ability to even out numbers would be awesome to have much more action and ponies for all.

Last time he accepted perk points for a bribe, the rest of the 56th never saw any... curious....  :salute

Rooks aren't going to fight the knights anyway so what difference does it make?
