I haven't been online all that much as of late. I was however plesantly suprised to see these guys flying for the Knights this tour and maybe longer. These guys along with a few others from the rooks I believe , in my opinion are welcome additions to the knights.
So Glad your here Guys and the rest that came over as Well. To many to mention. to you all and hope to wing up with you guys some.

Happy to help RedTop. LCA and the new, very Bish-like, Rooks with their focus on toolshedding rather than on good/fun fights where it used to be was more than I could bear, the fiasco on Donut last week was the last straw. Compound that by the fact that Rooks have overwhelming #'s all the time now and well, playing for the under-manned Knights is alot more fun.
Before, when Rooks were furball-centric, I could be mad at the 'other team' for ruining good fights with rampant toolshedding, now it's Rooks/LCA ruining the good fights. Rather than be angry at my own team I switched to help Knights against the toolshedding scourge...As someone who refuses to vulch there was very little for me to do as a fighter pilot (and master AA gunner) on a numerically superior, toolshedding Rook team.

Thanks for the welcome Redtop. I can't trace my desire to move to any one event I just realized over the course of the last few weeks that more and more often I was "racing" other rooks to various fields trying to get in and fight a bit before the horde arrived. It became less and less satisfying so I fully supported a move by the group to the knights and I think I speak for the majority when I saw for the most part we're enjoying ourselves in knightland.
Been kinda of a homecoming for me I don't know if anyone remembers (or better yet cares) but I flew knights for a long time, going back to beta days. And it's nice seeing some old names in green again. When it comes down to it I honestly don't feel any one alliance to a "country" as they exsist in AH. I do feel a loyalty to my friends both in and out of the 475th. I fly wherever they are regardless of which chess piece it may be. They are what keeps me flying and makes this game fun for me. How long we'll be here I can't say but like I said so far it's been a fun and enjoyable experience and I don't think there are any talks to move on at this point.
-
I took a couple weeks off AH, and when I came back rooks were the toolshed kings and there'd been a mass exodus of furballers to the knits... I got sick of the toolshedders talking in green and switched :O
-
I recently left Bishland to join RedTops squad. My old squad's ego just got too big for me and Bish really didnt want to do my specialties anymore, Squad CO-OPs. Bish were 2 for 2 on my co-ops. Won 2 maps, 1 against knights and 1 against rooks. Nearly every bish knows who i am, and they were all taken by suprise that i left bishland.

I would like to point out that the squads that came over have SEEMED to put a big dent in the toolshedders attacks!!!
Even though knights still have lower numbers the balance seems better then before.
BIG WTG and

another squad that is helping out nit land is the bad company clan, good to have jamusta, creton and the rest on our side too.
long live the fluffy balls.

Take them back and we'll give you a standing ovation! :lol
-
As a Knight, I also would like to welcome all who made the move. Myself and the Pigstompers look forward to working with you all.
one-eye :cool:
-
I'm very happy to see the Angels and BK as Knights, I have friends there and I like to fly side to side with them. And it extends to all the other players who joined Knights in these days, it's nice to go in battle against the overwhelming hordes with you. :)
EDIT: Nitland, the furballer's heaven, against all? I hope it will go on! :D
-
Hey gal and guys!
Quite agree with this toolshedding stuff, no fun at all! Was thinking about asking for a fuel air bomb so we can kill all vulchers in one go!
Anyway we've formed a squad with pooface and our aim is to dive headlong into mad furballs with underwhelming numbers!
We have moved to Bish at the mo just for the many reasons you have said about the rooks. So in the future not all Bish will have the same objectives!
What is it the Oscar Wilde once said '"Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it."
He's to some old fashioned death or glory!!

The BK's don't really play all that well with others but we gag every time we here the toolshed comando's giving out their orders and acting like little generals.
We aren't around to help anyone so much as we are there to kill the little red planes. Bieng in a horde is not condusive to that. and besides...
It's frigging embarassing.

Thanks for the welcome.I've almost always flown knights with the exception of when I flew with the 327th and when the JB's went rook.I've decided for this tour or as long as the knights have low #'s ,to fly knights.It's alot more enjoyable to fly low#'s side because you dont have to fly so far to go target hunting.
:)
-
Yep and that is why VF-17 is starting a move tonight over to Knight's. We aren't big but we love the idea of a target rich enviroment.
-
AWW What a love fest we have here!!! As a bish I welcome all new country hoppers to knits.........Cant wait to kill all you country hopping friut loops!!!:lol
-
I had flown with the knights for a long time with a few squads counting back to AH1 era before went to 475th and rooks. Brought it up that maybe worth a shot to go knights as I have jumped to knights a few times when rooks just irritated me. I mentioned the furball thinking and desire the knights have so eventually killn gave the word.
Its been very welcoming to come back to knights and seeing the furballing desire here. I felt even more at home when a few LCA members PM'ed me swearing and cursing at me for switching sides and killing them especially one of their members which I was killing so frequent and often and killed him at least 5 times in 1 flight (wont reveal name). These PM's made me feel right at home and made me feel that knights is the place to be.

Hub is usually gaging on a particular one of Levi's appendages.
BK's move from country to country. One night we might be Bish if their numbers are really low, next we might be Rooks. We have made Knights the "base" country for the time being since they seem to be the lowest number country most of the time right now.
-
Loyalty to a chess piece is silly. Loyalty to the low numbers makes more sense. Not much fun for anyone when the numbers balance is way off.

Sorry Hubs...
BK's and welcome to knightland :D
