Thanks to all the squads who are helping in Rook land. Making a change to improve the game for everyone is a cool thing. You giving us a real chance in the fight and I hope you will have a good time while you are here. There are good folks and bad folks, some who cooperate and some who don't. Kind of like RL. Again, thanks. Thanks Curly for the post.

I was with rooks, with my usual practise of going ahead, deacking field, then asking for jabo. It ended with me alone over field with no support till I am out of fuel or ammo. I know what you will say "numbers... we all busy defending other fields..." but it is not a case. 80% of rooks were engagned in attacking isolated field wich has no value, while losing the strat important field. It happens with all countries, but if in others you can explain situation and get support, with rooks you can explain it during hours, and be just ignored. I made 3 mission with rooks, 2 were successful, with 5-7 people in them only, last one I canceled it, because NO ONE joined. Then I gave up, as I said, only good strat playing squads can change situation there.


Fariz, do us a favor and just stay bishops...  I probably get better trying to kill you and learn from my mistakes:D

rooks are generally a lot more fun to fite than bish.   They are better pilots and they engage even if they don't have 2-10/1 odds..   they also don't send their pledges in on suicide jabo runs and then clean up the easy pickings.   I is rare to find a good fight against bish.

I disagree....sorta.

You only have to find enough of them at a given spot. What skill can't do, numbers can.....and numbers is usually not a problem in Bishland. Besides that, killing bishes is very rewarding: you kill them all, and you bag a lot of perks!   :D

No pepe.... with bish you have to look helpless... convince them that they can engage you because they have a huge advantage.

I'd like to congratulate the AK's moving rooks..even for a few weeks or so...was a damned honorable thing to do--those guys have been Bish for at least the 2 years or so ive been playing AH...that move didnt come lightly.

But what DID come lightly are all the guys who poofed to the larger countries in the last few months and only made things worse...(the same guys we often find vulching our last 2-3 fields any given night)

Regarding rooks..no teamwork, etc... depending on day..when it is a combined 350 against our 75...folks often just give up on the strat thing at times and pick a small winnable, though insignificant fight--at least some pleasure can be gotten out of the game that way. Doesnt do anythin to delay the reset, but that would happen anyhow with such low #'s. Looks like this mebbe history though, which will be to everyone's benefit.

But still the squads from Knight and Bish, such as the JG.2 and the AKs have made quite some difference. At least playing in the MA is not that frustrating and hectic as it used to be. They've made a brave choice, and the Rooks salute and appreciate your decision with a warm welcome.

No Teamwork?!!!!!!!
« Reply #52 on: November 11, 2002, 10:11:34 PM »
Fariz, your toejam stinks the worst out of everyone.   Oh yeah, keep your La-5 dweeb bellybutton excuses to yourself Fariz. "He who questions a person's integrity is jealous of the accused."   No further comment.

No Teamwork?!!   Hmm, every country has the same issues.  Go ahead and lie to us guys.  The Knights and Bishops are the PERFECT sides?  roadkill.  I have PERSONALLY participated in many thwarted attempts with fellow Rooks at "base captures".   They have resembled the Sioux (Rooks) driving the Bison (cough, cough) off of cliffs.   I have witnessed a toejamload of stupid "tactics" from Knights and Bishes alike.  Come on you lame brains, keep marching the bullet-riddled "No Teamwork" flag, Pathetic.

What makes it better is when the 75 rook average wins a reset.  That SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, don't preach to me about "lack of teamwork".  200 bish and knight average (it is higher) can't stop 75?   Alot of you are so introverted to realize the truth when "our lack of teamwork" begins with you

Now, AKcurly.   to you for posting and joining the Rooks for a bit.  The Flying Cicus came over to Rooks a few weeks ago and flew with the NAZGUL.  Saw Nimitz on tonight, was great.  

AKIron, I am going to miss busting your balls after getting shot down or shooting you down, it was all in good fun.

to the rest of you: Turbot, Urchin, and the others who have switched to assist.  You have cajones, the rest have excuses.

First Off <> To All The Sticks That Came Over To Rooks To Help Out.

I For One Thank You Very Much, It's Nice To See A Number Increase.

Also I Noticed Since The Numbers Are A Bit Higher Now Missions Seem To Have A Little More Attendence.

Possiblly Due To The Fact We Have More Players, Now People Will Be More Relaxed And Able To Join A  Mission Instead Of Running Around Like Chickens With Their Heads Cut Off Defending.

I Flew With Lazer The Other Nite And He Posted  A Mission Or 2 And It Took A Few Minutes For Most Rooks To Realize That We Have A Decent Amount Of People And Its OK To Join It.

All That Were On This Mission Seemed To Have Had A Great Time We Got The Job Done Fairly Quickly, I For One Am Not Used To Seeing This Except On The Other End.

I Feel That This Will Increase As Time Goes On And More Missions Will Be Posted And Participated In.

Don't Get All Aggrivated At Us Rooks For Our Hesitation To Join Missions As We Are Used To Taking  A Big Hit While Sitting In A Tower Waiting To Start.

I'm Hoping That The Fresh Faces And Realizing We Can Start To Become A Little More Offencive Will Set In Quickly.

Again Thanks To All The Guys That Switched Over, For However Long You Decide To Stay I'm Sure It's Safe To Say We ALL Appriciate It.

Gee Whiz, Fariz didn't you get the Rook handbook? And I quote:

"We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune.  We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more..."

If you'd simply submitted your requests for a Jabo in triplicate through the proper channels, I'm sure we could have gotten you an answer within two or three weeks.

(Order, eh -- who does he think he is? The King of the Britons?)

does anyone besides me find the last 2 quotes by lazs (near bottom of page 1) to be quite amusing and highly ironic?:rolleyes:

Yes... I have noticed that whatever team has the huge numbers advantage flies timidly.    I guess it has to do with... "hey, it would be dumb to get killed when there are so many places  to vultch" mentality...  

Now that the rooks have the huge advantage they have become timid and the bish can relax and just have fun.

must be a real burden to have the numbers advantage.  I didn't realize how much stress it put on some of the "members" of the advantaged country... look at the other thread on stats to prove my point... the current huge advantage holder (rooks) has it's highly stressed players doing all sorts of gyrations to justify their actions.

so... when you have the numbers advantage... use it... come in in a mob and come in high.   If you see any fight developing... use some of your extra 20 or so players to overbalance it.   If you fly alt in fast planes.... it is paradise... 10 to 1 that your weight of numbers have gotten all the enemy low and (just as important) slow so that you can bravely dive in, take your shot, and ru... er... "egress" bravely... If the fight is really lopsided you may even be able to get low and sorta slow yourself... yu can give the impression of "fighting" in your uber plane when really..... you know that those other planes are to busy to chase yu out of the fight... and too slow.
