I was just wondering what I have to do to become a rook.

Seems like they are having a load of fun every night in the MA and I know I'm not alone in thinking this.

Is there a form I need to fill out or some kind of skill test that I need to practice for?

honch is probly being satirical but I will bite...

I would ten times rather fight the bish.. the bish are fun. rooks all fly late war or LW planes and won't attack without a huge advantage. even on the festabria map they won't get into the spirit of the thing... it is like late war B and Z is all they know or want to do. They are no more skilled than the bish but you tend to get less kills per hour since you have to work to get a clear shot/fight with one or two. All his LW buddies are witing for you to be engaged so that they can come off ther perch for one sissy little pass and run at you when you do.

Nothing wrong with that of course... just seems curious to me... probly cause they are all foriegners I guess.

Alot of knights were logging off in disgust last night.

I never looked at the roster, but 3 guys logged in 5 mins. complaining there were 100 more rooks on than knights and they were sick of getting gang banged.

Like I said, I was busy in a GV fight and never checked the roster.

Was last night the Rook Joint Operations?

i concur with lazs... altho not allllllll rooks are such timid milquetoasts in run/joust weenie rides, it does seem rooks are more heavily weighted toward them.

yeah muck it was... nothing new there, it's sunday afternoon/evenings, has been for a while.

i think at peak, rooks had like 240 on to 140 knits and maybe 180 bish. of course rooks and their bishes were both hitting knits hard in a hamstardish lust for reset.

Sounds like Laz found a jabostaffel squadron.

During RJO, you'll see more late-war rides than the early/mid-war stuff because the goal is conquest and the P-51D, P-47D-30, P-38, FW190A8, and the bombers tend to be better and ground attacks than the mid-war fighters.

From the time I've spent online with the FesterMA map, the Spit V seems to be the uber plane for once!

Oh, and to join the winning team, just go to the Map Room.

I did not know that was a normal thing. I don't normally play on Sunday.

So I guess if you want to avoid the gangbang, play CT on sundays.

No news here, move along

gofaster ... i have been rook. they are even less fun to be than to fight. I don't want to fight over scraps anymore than play dodgeball with all the foreigners. Rooks are a bunch of sissy, sky accountants who won't play without a huge advantage. The 3 or four rooks who aren't like that are of course, the exception.

bish are kinda fun tho... they get into the spirit of the thing.

We were hitting the rookies, too. BUT they have a habit of killing the strat 2 fields deep on our side to keep us out of their back yard.

You know the drill:

Five or six suicide porkers to kill troops and ord.
Five or six more to kill the fuel
Rinse, repeat for next base.

Excuse me, but wasnt it not that long ago when Rooks complained about being out numbered. Back when the 81st switched sides. Then a few squads posted on the board ideas on how to even the sides up. Where were the bish/knits saying how unfair it was for the rooks? Oh, wait , you didin't. you were perfectly content in having numbers and now that the worm has turned you want to say something about the inequity of MA numbers. Bah you bunch of wussy hypocrites.

Easy, tough guy.

Gangbangs are not nearly as much fun as an even fight.

Who want to be number 10 in line to kill the one enemy plane?

Who wants to be THAT one enemy plane?

The rooks have had a numerical advantage for 6 month or more. No worries. And then the rooks were outnumbered, they did enough complaining for all 3 sides...no need to the knights and bish to chime in.

How long are you Rooks going to use how you used to be outnumbered as a crutch? Then was then, and now is now. Besides, many Bish and Knits were honestly concerned... a concern that you don't share now. Else, you wouldn't organize those country wide gang bangs with more players than the other two combined.

But it doesn't matter... it's good to be a Knit. Knits don't care if Bish or Rooks are conquoring the arena. We've gotten used to it. In the last few months I've seen a few times when the Knits could have gotten a reset but didn't, because most just don't care. It's natural to feel that way when you so seldom have a chance to do it.

So outnumber us, take our bases, milk and pork to your heart's content. The Knits will find a fight and have fun. And when you ruin it, we'll move on. And we will get buckets of perks and fly perk planes cheap. The only bad thing is when it gets down to a handfull of bases, we can't take off without getting vulched, can't fly without getting banged, and can't defend because all the bases are porked, can't capture because all barracks are destroyed. Then we just have to sit in the tower and play cards waiting for you guys to finish your game.

is there a way you can find out how many time knights have won in the last 6 months? I bet you can count it on 1 hand

but then when your 100 down every night what are you suppose to do

WTG RJO and CiC of the Night GhostDancer!

BBS complaints are always the best compliment

Last night I did see some smart play, and good defensive tactics by the Knights. I even had a few decent fights. ::Salute::
