<----Rook

Is a Rook now, has been a Rook since day one (Day one in beta), and will always be a Rook, as long as there is Rooks around.

Anyway, I believe in the new perk point system and think this is a good thing, been online way to many days with numbers like Knights:176  Bish: 156  Rooks:47

The new feature can only be a good thing.

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

Was great last nite as a Bish.....it was like a Tempest clearance sale going on.  I find it extremely hilarious that this new perk balance system has come back to bite the Knits on the bellybutton because it seems that lately they are the ones with the numbers during US prime time nites.

Look at all this girlz running mad about perks cost! Oh, the AHumanity  :D

ROFL! ....  WTG, HT. I only hope all future improvements work as good as the ones in 1.11. Especially the perk balancing system  :)

It's like ccvi says...never burned so many perk points as yesterday  :D


Oh...and I'm proud to belong to the most powerful and efficient economic empire of AH: Rookland. We produce more, and cheaper!

Cheers,

Exactly!! :)

Personally, I've been a rook since last spring and during the summer and the fall we had the least numbers most of the times I was logged. I zipped up about it...didn't say a word.

Sometimes it was frustrating but when the numbers became too overwhelming I flew a Me-262. :)

When somebody mentioned the numbers he was quickly labled as whiner...sometimes with a reason and sometimes not. Heard the line "numbers don't mean a thing" many many times from the guys who were in a more populated country. :)

To see them instantly start crying about perk prizes while enjoyning bigger numbers at the same time...priceless. :D

P.S I don't care about the perk multiplayer one way or another. Being in the smallest country rarely has made me log off and I can't really see how one can get shot down in a Me-262 very often.

Guys seem to be missing the point.

The side balance system isnt there to provide us with cheaper perks. Its a tool to encourage the balancing of the 3 countries.

It wasnt planned for folks to keep jumping around to find the best bargin on perk planes. 12 hour switch time is fine as it helps balance numbers over a longer period.

I dont doudt that there will be some guys who switch every 12 hours to get the short term benefit of cheaper perks. You would think 4 or 6 hours would be enough but from the looks at the numbers of  hours folks fly a month I think 12 is reasonable.

This is one one the best features HT has implemented.

Thanks ..........

THIS is awesome!!  How long has MA imbalance been hashed, argued, fought over etc etc by the regulars on this board?  NOW that something has been done about it the country jumping gangbang dweeb crowd is coming out of the woodwork with thier hair on fire lol.


I LOVE IT!

Only numbers are required to win, but it's a lot more fun to die in a cheap perk ride.
