Never thought of that..

Goes along way in explaining the odor of methane gas..

Urchin generalizations are ignorant. Apparently your credibility means nothing to you.
 
BTW I think Math nailed it down pretty well.

No, when I switched over to the Rooks for a couple days, I fought the Knights.  I'm typically flying by myself, usually not right with a wingman.  I noticed that Knights tend to fight.  Bish tend to run, unless they have numbers.  All day today and all night last night, I was flying around fighting Bishops.  They WILL NOT FIGHT unless they have numbers.  Doesn't matter what the tactical situation is, they refuse to fight unless they've got numbers.  

Hell, one pathetic bastard in an La7 last night left his teammate to die, because once another Knight joined in it wasnt 2 on 1 anymore.  Can't even count the number of times I've had one 'brave' (well, for a Bish anyway) pilot in an La7 or Dora, or Tiffie, or P51 (or any fast plane really), try to bounce me, and then take off for the nearest ack once he realizes he isn't good enough to kill me.  And I mean flat out running like a squeak, not 'extending'.  People who are 'extending' will turn around once they've got some seperation to work with, chickenshits in La7s won't turn around until two or three friendlies arrive.

All teams are the same. You just want to think the side you fly for is better because you are in it. And frankly, you being in their side doesnt add anything to it.

Bishops have numbers because when new players arrive its the default team. Being that they are new and inexperienced, they may do things you consider stupid or dweeby in your arrogance trip, but new players tend to group up to survive in any game, much to the annoyance of those who want to pick easy fights.

Continue with your cleverly disguised whine fest.

I will animal, thanks for your permission!  I really needed that... actually... before I do ANYTHING.. I ask myself  "Would ANIMAL approve ofr this?"  

And yea dipshit.. a lot of people do things that I consider stupid or dweeby, and Bishops do it a helluva lot more than Rooks and Knights.  Also, Bishop isn't the 'default' team for newbies, at least according to Hitech, so there goes your 'well they are n00bs, so it is not their fault they don't know how to fight unless its 5 on 1' theory.

Is that a teary eyed uber-JadgFlier clad in leather flying boots with matching leather thong convulsing with an ear piercing howling lisp in desperate need of a hug I see?

It's funny, but I've seen all sides run away to get numbers.

I've seen all sides do it all.

But desire to see something that doesn't really exist will cause you to see it.

Cowboys are indeed the least competent. But that Quincy Carter is a Hall of Famer for sure!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Rooks and their french-like tactics.

It seems (to my jaundiced eye) that not only are the Rooks reset more then anyone else, but whenever the war goes against them, the Rook team will shrink and both the Knights and Bishops will suddenly swell, almost in exact sync.

So basically, there are a lot of people who identify themselves as Rooks that switch sides at the first sign of trouble.

I don't know if this is a problem with competency, but it seems awfully opportunistic.

That said, the core rooks that remain are pretty magnificent.  I've seen vastly outnumbered Rooks battle their way back from the brink innumerable times.

I'm a bish, and as long as Bishops remain the default team, I think we'll have a higher percentage of new players (eg, least competent by definition until they learn) then any other team.

Is this bad?  No, in the same sense that 'ignorant' just means you don't have the info yet.  It sounds like an insult, but it's a non-judgemental term.  By that logic, we're not competent because we suck, but because we have a lot of people that are new.

Actually, you know.  I thought better of it.  I don't need to prove a thing to you SW.  You talk a much better game than you fly, and I'm pretty sure everyone knows it.  I'd offer to go to the DA with you, but I'd hate to have to put you through the trouble of rounding up four friends to make it even.

[T0J0]

If the Cowboys are the wrost team then the Bucs are the second worst team.... Other than that the thread is useless!!

(edit)  If you withdraw your salvo, Urchin, then I will, of course, withdraw my request for clarification.

I dont know how to reply to your taunt so I'll challenge you to a duel in hopes that I will beat you therefore making anything you have to say invalid in the eyes of those who cared about the stupid fight (only my squadmates).

Heh, I love it when they try that.

Failing to understand the question completely, the first thing that sprang to mind was Frenchy's squad when they are drunk!

Yea, the offer stands to you also animal.  Except you don't even qualify as a has-been.  You are more like a never-ran.
