Chess-piece country governments
« on: June 16, 2003, 09:32:19 PM »
Any thoughts on the MA countries'  governments ?

I bet Knitland is a Monarchy, with the all-knowing Knit Emperor running things.

Bishland is an USA-like Plutocrarchy, ruled by the Lavochkin and Kawasaki conglomerates.

Rookland most likely has soviets all too  busy arguing with among themselves.

I was thinking that the Bish might be a communist government. I mean look at all the self proclamation about them being the best. Sort of reminds me of the old Soviet Union talk about being the true leaders of the world. Also the Bish tend to go for quantity of armed forces over quality of armed forces which quantity tends to have a quality of its own.

The Rooks remind me of the USA. All alone against the world while no one ever comes to their aid but they always jump to help someone who is down; then they get blasted for it.

Knights remind me of a monarchy. No ifs, ands or buts about it. You fall in line with the specific missions or you get left to get steamrolled by either the end running Bish or Rooks.

Kawasaki?  I don't see very many Ki-61s flown by the Bish.

Maybe you mean Kawanishi, the producer of the infamous N1K2-J Shiden-Kai?

my take....

Knights - dominated by strat obssessed squads

Rook - mostly dogfighters

Bish - Kamikazies sprinkled with a little bit of everything due to being default 2weeker country.

Anarchy?
Leaders with kids mentality?
Arrogance?
No support?
Land grabbers?
Suicide bombers?
Eternal furballs?

Yep, that's my country.
Wait! you talking about the knights or the middle east?

I think Devious got it right first time. We Bish's are the good guys.

In WW2 terms I see the Bish's as the Allies. The Nits as the Germans and the Rooks as everybody else because they always lose and are normally completely surrounded.

The Nits are the real enemy of the Bishops.

I would rather compare the countries with pubs:

Bishland: The Blue Oyster Bar
Knitland: Sauerkraut Stub'n
Rookland: Moe's

The Rooks remind me of the USA. All alone against the world while no one ever comes to their aid but they always jump to help someone who is down; then they get blasted for it.


Please stop... you are going to make me cry uncontrollably.

Sarcasm really is hard to get across in writing. Maybe I should have just said that Devious is correct. Although I do think that if you are a Knight and don't follow the crowd you will soon be swimming in Bish...uhh shark infested waters with lots of chum around you.
