Well see...it's like this Zig.

I got a phone call from Fatty... Said he just got a call from Westy, who had gotten a fax from Voss who just sent an email to Udie, who had just recieved some morse from Rip, who had seen some smoke signals from Wardog, who.... ah memory fails me here...

Anyways, Fatty told me to page Wabbit, who then sent a singing telegram to Hangtime, who passed a note to Ghosth, who tattood a message on banana, who FEDEX'd Verm, who... ah damn... memory again fails me.

In any event, the gist of it was "Gang up on the Knits on Thursday August the 10th, between 6pm and 12pm Pacific time".

You buy it?

I don't either.

Heh, smurfs in knightland...

Rooks/Bishops seem pretty well balanced currently.

Cause we figured we could get a complaint. (I thought it a good sign not one rook or bish posted complaining nits were averaging more than both combined lately)

Lemme ask ya? If ya had a choice of whom to pick on, would it be the guy who sez' "Salute! Good fight!" after the sortie? OR the guy that has an excuse everytime ya shoot him for why he died EXCEPT that ya flew it well?

Who is knit and is usually complaining about sumthin?
Now I won't mention any names, cuz that ain't my style, but I heard someone call em The Whining Crew once.

To be honest, Ziggie, I pay hardly any attention to whether the con is knight or bishop.......the icon is red, and I am gonna fight, no matter what country.    
Don't really think anyone hates the knights at all...........just some nights work out that way!    
And just maybe the attitude had something to do with it, ya know, like, chopping some folks down to size and all.

Heh, the kniggits have the numbers, on some days.

When we have the same numbers as rooks and bish combined, it is possible to repel their attacks and advance.

But when we're about equal numbers, that is quite hard.

Well, it gets a bit irritating from time to time that kniggits is such a popular target, but hey, at times it is downright fun.

"DIE vulcher DIE" is amusing  .

But I would wish that one down to two fields, you'd ALSO start picking on each other, just to give us a fighting chance.
