This thread is aptly titled.

Looooo-D’ehhhh-chris – kind of rolls of the tongue doesn’t it?

Not nearly as good as “gazebo” though.  :D

Carry on.

Yah, Iron... I'm going to E-Mail the entire thread to the editor of "Saddest Stories Ever Told" magazine.

What I find funny is how dweebs and dickies switch sides to the winning country so they can cash in on the reset perk bonus and to gang-bang the loosing country.

Really?

Well then it's obvious then they do it for the gang-bang riot atmosphere.  I experienced it myself last week when we (bishops) were pumping the knights hard on NDILES.

We even managed to capture the whole Island HQ.  Poor nitties.

:D

Imagine their surprise when they got nothing :)

(You have be on a team for a long while before you become eligible for perk point bonus.  Figure I hear quoted most often is 12 hours.)


Anyway..

Personally I am tired of the topic, it's not going to get fixed - well certainly not this way.  

If you can't beat em join em.   A lot more fun than knocking your head against a wall.

A lot more fun for who? If all of us start to think that way MA will be all bishops flying around capturing empty fields. Nobody to defend them.. But that's exactly what they like.

Knit and rookland is slowly starting to lose players - not to bish but to competition or totally offline. I know I've played 30 or so hours this month and the hours drop by the day.

I guess I need a vacation or another game.

Let's see how I feel after a month spent in Greece.. All sun, beaches, naked women and no computers at hand.

Both the Rooks and Knights have above a 1:1 K/D vs the bish.

I've yet to be on when the Rooks weren't attacking the bish and taking bases pretty regularly.

I seldomely encounter a group of rook pilots when they don't have the numbers advantage.

Look at the roster all you want.  All that matters is the area you launch from and the area you fight in.  Yet here we go again.

I can't see 2:1 numbers anywhere on that bitmap, can you?

Edit: Compared to knight that is the situation. I was speaking to the bish population. No wonder knights were getting rolled last night in 3 or so hours.

Let's see how you feel after the situation is 200 rooks and 100 bishops for a few weeks or months.

Oh wait.. that's not possible.
