I mean Bish morning crew are no different than the midwar tards back in the day <S>
Now with that said let's break this down from a strategic position. After the early early morning crew (knits) roll 1-6 bases the varsity morning crew logs in for their usual 3-6 hour blitzkrieg running 11-18 deep versus 3-8 players on the other side they are attacking. Almost every single day.
Bish morning crew are veteran tactical players and this is their primetime. There is no blame to push on this. When they play for a win, without a win setup by the night crew, it always back fires on them and the ground the gained is lost through out the day.
Out of the 2 opposing countries, knights hands down hold the greatest threat to bish security and a clear path to victory the majority of the time. By grinding as many bases from the knights as possible, this limits the opportunity for the knit horde to roll later on in the day. It also allows enough resources to be focused on the rooks at night.
If the Bishops aren't taking their foot off the gas and switching to rooks then it's to make a clear point. It's to display their dominance in the MA and nothing can be done about it crying from side lines. For those trying to stop it, their isn't a dam thing they can do either because no one rallies together under 1 banner in leadership while coordinating strategic defense and counter-attacks.
I have absolutely no problem with what the bish morning crew are doing and I mostly play as a knight. Some play for entertainment and are not invested in the war. Others, we grind our butts off for victory and seize every opportunity to do so. With the lack of overall dominance by rooks over the past year, except at times when they actually play to win, rolling knits is the clear and obvious choice to setup the bish for the win. Does it always work? No! In fact I'd say it's less than 50% effective.
Here's to the bish. If the community has a problem with it well call in sick from work, log in, do what it takes to stop it and push back.
