Hehehe, Zig, same old Timezone effect, I logged on this morning at 0800 GMT & I was the only Knit for an hour... 13 Bishes/14 Crooks... They did leave me alone though (I felt just like in my Cesna in MS FS2K   ).

Gee - usually when I'm on the Knights have more on than the Rooks or Bishops. I don't
really notice whether I'm fighting Knights or
Bishops anyway.  The Rooks are often outnumbered and being beaten on by both Bs and Ks at the same time - I think all 3
countries take turns being the underdog on
a regular basis depending on the time of day.

The only personal vendetta I have against knights is that the 3 times my chute has been gunned it was knights that did it. But I've seen a Rook gun a chute so we all have such
miscreants flying amongst us. I consider chute gunning an unnecessary and cowardly
rudeness.  I think that the chute gunner's
name should appear in the message buffer the
way a kill does:

"Chute kill perpetrated by <name>"
 

It is interesting to note that Adolf Galland
was disgusted by the thought of chute gunning
and that the LW fighter pilots under his command didn't do it. When he was asked how he would react to orders to kill allied chutes he stated that he would avoid following such orders. I'm glad to say that most of our historical LW squadrons seem to honour the memory of their role models by
emulating Galland's behaviour.

Because we are fun to fly against!  The Knights have always been tough!

For those of you who think the Rooks are un-organized, think again!  The Rooks can be some bad-a_ _ed mo-fos.  Sometime it is depressing when ya can't get alt due to the bouncing, but that makes the kills ya get all the more rewarding!!    

Another thing.  Many of the Bishes and Rooks are looking for a chance to shoot down Swager.  It is considered a great honor in most countries.  Since Swager flies for Knights it just makes sense that the Knights will experience overload most to the time!  

HeHe!

Fluf, the increase of chute shooting has dramatically increased  since 'spys' have been confirmed due to Knight organization methods.  So, if you're hanging in a chute anywhere near an airfield, your probably better off to do a 700 ft canopy opening, and .ef as soon as your boots hit the ground.

I'm strafing any and all chutes near our airfields since I've had more than one spy ruin a big mission.

Because the knights are mean and evil and keep leaving their empty beer bottles in Bishland    

Actually last night when I logged on there was about 26 nits, 20 Bish and 9 Rooks, so I didn't think it fair to start attacking 9 Rooks!  When I logged off it was something like 37 nits, 24 Bish, 22 Rooks.  

BTW, whilst I was online Bish captured two Rook fields and then lost one, then retook it.  The knights were on a rampage so all attention turned against the knights, which I guess is to be expected.

Umm....everytime Im on (which hasnt been much lately) the Nits enjoy a 2 to 1 advantage against both the Rooks and Bishops.

You're lucky we're fiting the Rooks at all.

I'm with Dingy on this one.  I fly rook and every time I'm on there are twice as many knights as there are rooks.  I haven't seen the knights at a numerical disadvantage in weeks.

Sorry, but I didn't have a whole lot of time to look these up.. or I know I would have found more.

Thanks for digging that up Deja, as  the world turns, everyone has their turn on 'The hot plate'.

When one  country has low numbers, you'll always find them the victim of enemy harassment since most take the path of easiest resistance.
