Why give a crap about what any one team does or doesn't do?

Pssst ... Furious ... I think this was Honch's latest fishing expediation after the bait got stale on the "How to HO" thread. I played cause I knew he wasn't using barbed hooks.

You've got to remember, these fish are smart. They live for a long time--thirty, forty years. They've been fished year after year--some of the fish we're chasing have been fished for longer than I've been fishing--and they've caught on. John Seabrook.

-S- to the smarter fishes

Wow,

Dont check back for a day and things on this thread are hopping!

My... folks can get a tad excited over this stuff!

I figure myself, and most of the Rooks had Fun, and since we had the numbers that about 2/3rds of the folks.

Also, Slap and Grizzly said they had a fun night, So a bunch of Knights had fun.

Sounds like about 80% the Arena had a good time, Whats wrong with that???

You would think that the Rooks do this every day.... We do this about once a month. 3 hours out of the 720hrs. Thats not even close to 1% of the time. But since its primetime, its about 3% of the primetime hours.

Yes, The Knights got it this time, but the last few RJO ops were against the Bishops. I know if Im CiC I always look for the opponet with the largest numbers. I figure its more fun.

One thing about numbers, Even if an evening starts out fairly close, if one country starts to get pushed hard, Folks just tend to log and suddenly your vastly out numbered. It does not matter which country you fly, Bishop, Rook or Knight.

Well, Im starting to Ramble.... Anyone want a beer???

Your right! But rather than TV, I should make the pilgramige to the North and buy you dinner!

You were in affect playing with yourselves. >=o)

And since when is that a crime... besides making you go blind!

I had a few great fights against the knights, you guys dont lay down, even if you say you arnt fighting back.

We do it all the time, but once we've finished the joints, the operations go out the window, and we just go shoot some red stuff. More fun that way anywhoo

I must say last nite was fun. My CO and I, DOW for those of you who dont know

, started defending the second island from the nites..It was fast and furious as we held them off for almost an hour and killed a boat load of goons lol......were finaly forced to the CV when they did something I hadnt seen done before..they dumped a bunch of troops out of goons to grab the AI gunners while they tried to sink us with 26's they finaly managed to do it but was fun while it lasted......

we wound up down south fighting rooks then and low and behold the same thing----tons of action with defence being our main objective and it was a blast too..

The only group that Im aware of that seems to fight in a mass are the MAW....some really great sticks in that crowd but hard to fight because they cover each other real well....at least 3 to 1 odds in their favor, lol usually 30 to 1 though hehehe

honch is correct kweeezy.. the point of this thread is to draw out the chest thumpers who havent figured out that.... the country with the most numbers wins.... It is working fine it appears.

wetrat... you and maybe three other rooks are about the only rooks who could last 30 seconds (without running) with anyone in the MA. That's why you need the numbers... rememmber how the rooks were so eaisily slaughtered when they didn't have the numbers? Easiest country to beat I've seen so far.

Oh man... The thread has drawn me out

Iv been a big cheerleader for the RJO since day one, I didnt think that was a big secret, but you found me out ..

Some of these threads remind me of the show "King of the Hill"
Yup... There is Laz/Dale, Slap/Hank, and Bettle/Boomhauer all standing along the fence with a beer in hand. (does that mean Im Bill?)

the RJO draws the big numbers, because its fun, Just like Trolling. Big numbers lead to land grab.

For the record, I wish the goal set in AH was other than capture the flag, it would be a better place for it, But sadly thats the name of the game. ::Shrug::

Someone pass me another cold one....
