Title: Country bias?
Post by: Serenity on January 14, 2007, 01:20:14 AM
I just looked at my december stats and noticed something interesting:

Country    Kills As    Kills Of
Bishop        5            45
Knight        31           13
Rook          37           15

Country    Kills As    Kills Of
Bishop        0              27
Knight        70             0
Rook           0             43

Country    Kills As    Kills Of
Bishop         0           102
Knight        151          9
Rook           16          56

Country    Kills As    Kills Of
Bishop         1            73
Knight       130            1
Rook           0              57

Country    Kills As    Kills Of
Bishop        0              28
Knight        54             1
Rook           1             26

Not only does this show that I completley suck but also that in the last 3 of 4 tours I killed a significantly larger number of bishops than rooks. And its not just because they are easier to kill. I beleive I persue the Bishops with a vehemence I reserve for perverts and arsewholes in real life. Any of you feel biased to kill a certain country?

As far as I am concerned....

If its red, it should be dead.....

But surely you find yourself flying to one enemy base more than another?

I have both sides showing as RED...

Most of the time I dont know who I am shooting at...

On more than one occasion I have seen two reds fighting, and then realised that they were both from other sides...

I do, but its a matter of what map, and where the front lines are.  Every map has one or more "good spots" for fights.  Don't matter to me who owns it, if the front lines are there, that's where Ill be flying.

I have noticed that I have often killed more Bishes than Knits. I suppose they often have more players than than Knits during my usual flying hours.

if I am not defending  I look at the roster and fly tword the country with the most online.

I even switched countries once last week, I felt very cold and alone:confused:

Usually I won't even bother looking at the country icon next to the plane, unless I am just looking to see if the bad guys out in front of me are on different teams (i.e. am I looking at a bunch of Bishs, or a bunch of Bishs and Rooks?). Otherwise, like mussie said, if it's red, I'm gonna try and kill it.

Vot ve haf here is clearly a case of subdued hatred of ze male species.

For ze bishop is phallic representation of von's psyche, und ze qvest to destroy ze competition for ze fairer zex, no?

Or.. it culd be zat you find yourself encountering more of zese bishops as they, zemselves, strive to erradicate ze sub-conciously tagged 'studs' of ze virtual vorld, ze horsies. ( knights )

Or, it culd be zat you simply hang around with a bunch of bishop hating war mongers.

[/freud]

Have a nice day.

My bias is for rooks, meaning that when I switch to knits I usually fight bish & verse visa. I havent been playin much lately though(what an ironic quote for you to have in your sig drone).

I typically pursue the red icons with a little more malice than the green icons, although I will occasionally try to kill the green ones as well.

Bishropes over the knights any day.  To many annoying Bish to let by.  To many skilless newbie like suiciders to let by.  To many Bish vets with a gamey plot to let by.....2/3 bish to 1/3 knights or there about.  

I find the knights as better players/fighters but they ain't got numbers or leadership of late but the bish just throw numbers in after numbers in.  Pork auger bomb and bail.  Steam roller bases in 1k Lancs.  Defend in IL2's even with hangers up :rolleyes:

lol. You missunderstood me. I dont even look at the country next to the icon. I know I dislike the bishops more than rooks, but it was only when I looked at my scores that I realised that I really do pursue the Bishops more. Check YOUR scores. You might be suprised too!

EXCELLENT!  If Lynx dislikes us the most, means were doing him more than the other guys.  

Makes life worthwhile.   LOL

Ahh so Atoon IS UKnowMe..  

Thought I recognized the 'tude.

I handled that badly.  I admit it. If I would have known that the squad would have been disbanded I certainly would have done things differently.  I'm sorry.  It was a good squad.   I just couldn't tolerate some people.

i have no bias.  i usually fly where i either see the most action or see the greatest need to defend.

i will sometimes hunt specific people for sport though.

Hmmm my all time stats excluding this month and July 06:

Kills As   Kills Of   Killed As   Killed By   Country
13   1971   11   825   Bishop
0   1971   0   980   Knight
3941   12   1803   9   Rook


Amusing to say the least.  Does't appear to be a bias here other than the knights can kill me better than the bish.

I am of the thought... if it's red it's dead

I fly pretty much on any team... prefer low number teams. Good folks and bad folks on all teams... so not much difference unless your married to one. :rofl
