Why do I get the feeling that this renewed vigor from Knights is going to negatively affect me as a Rook??

Are you new?

This thread is amusing.

It reminds me of a monkey doing math.

Killjoy, you got someone tutoring you with your arithmetic again?

In a way, yes. I played about a year ago for a while before I ran out of money and had to stop subscribing. I'm back now though.

Nice to have you

Hope no offence was taken with my little statement, just that knights have never, and will never have anything to do with organisation

Ripsnort can get it going really good, but he's one of the very few who can

Wilbus...well maybe the Mafia and some other squads can take some weight off the old guy's shoulders...

I'm not into changing sides..I'll just go play in the CT if I get frustrated

Hehe, if you bring organization to the Knights in the MA, I will be the first to congratulate you on this forum

I am knight my slef and usually not much for joining missions either

MaddogJoe · « **Reply #23 on:** April 04, 2002, 03:56:06 PM »

I'm not asking anyone to join our missions, tho everyone is welcome. All I'm asking for is info. I've been in on a few of Ripsnort's missions, and had alot of fun. Ripsnort's missions work....most of the time

because he uses good stratagy in his plans, and he has a "rep" for getting things done, so people join, which in turn makes the plan more successful.... kinda like a snowball effect.

What I hope to do is use the info or "chatter" from the radio to get the mafia and who ever else wants to jump on board into a successfull mission after successfull mission and start our own "snowball" rolling. Once the mob starts rolling, I hope more and more of the Knights start pulling in the same direction, and we can get organized.... kinda like when Ripsnorts on

Maddog Joe - Welcome!

I had the honor of tangling with a pair of 444th P-38's the other day.

Glad to see your efforts in increasing organization. I thought I would share some food for thought regarding the psychology of cooperation and achieving strat objectives as I have experienced them in AH.

Honch in another thread hit the nail on the head when he answered the question of why some folks are able to get a lot of participation and cooperation while others don't. Commenting on a fellow pilot Fariz, Honch says:

Folks generally do follow Fariz and I'll tell ya why. For the most part, we don't care about capturing bases, destroying fields, or resetting the map. Most of us just want to have fun and Fariz consisently leads us to fun. So to all of you desktop generals out there. If you show your people fun, they will follow you.

I think this is sage advice. If you remember this then (1) you will consistently get participation and cooperation and (2) you won't get bent out of shape when people ignore you which well inevitably happen.

Best of luck to you and your efforts!

Seriously, I wish you guys all the best luck. Skillful oposition adds to this game a lot, milkruns are borring.

Just couple comments though. Remember, that successful mission and interesting one are not always the same thing. Keep the fun value high. Also, one mission by itself values nothing. Some fields you capture makes strat worse for you country, not better. Make a plan, every capture shall be a part of it. If nothing works, just smile, and try again. If not this day, then another. And, make it a rule for yourself, that every failed mission is your fail, every succesful one is a success of those who join. Give them credit, and blame only yourself. And, again, learn when mission fails.

I think there were good hints for mission planners by Ripsnort somewhere on these forums, you can search for them.

Here's that link Fariz:

As Fariz said, its not all about capturing either, its about mixing up the missions to enjoy the game, do a fighter sweep to a heavily defended field, maybe a NOE mission to their city..variety is good.

knits are funny creatures. One minute organised the next just mooching around.

But all the time they make yer head REALLY itch!!

how do i get rid of em????

hehe on a serious note: I have flown knits for some years now! I will never change purely because from what i can tell its no different anywhere else and I think LW sort of suits knights seeing as how teutonic knights were German

besides i feel bad enough shooting down friends in scenarios let alone in the MA!
