Title: NIts and Rooks against the Bish
Post by: badhorse on March 10, 2008, 07:01:14 AM
Saw something yesterday I had heard about but had never seen before.  Someone (name is unimportant) came on Rook country channel and said something to the effect "ROOKS LET'S TEAM UP.  KNIGHTS AND ROOKS ATTACK THE BISH.  NEED YOUR ANSWER RIGHT AWAY".
Only one person said "let's do it" and he was a squeaker.  The other responses were not as generous.

I had heard people comment before that it seemed like two countries were teaming up agains the third, but I have never seen it actually solicited  before.

Usually it's always them vs. us - regardless of who is them and who is us  ;)

Just the same as They always Ho or They are always flying higher than us

I disagree.  I believe it was scientifically proven in 2005 that 9 out of 10 Rooks own form-fitted, custom oxygen masks.

I didn't see it but I wouldn't be one to trust an arrangement like that, besides how would you tell the diffrence.  So if it shows up in red it must be shot down.

Nonsense.  Rooks don't need oxygen.

Also, I should point out that it's not "them against us", it "them against me".  If you change countries in the middle you will realize that the other two countries suddenly re-align to oppose whichever country you joined.  Quickly.  So fast you can't even get the map up before the situation has changed.

It has to be in the code.  Hitech is out to get me.

No, you're right.  They have been genetically altered to breath at extreme altitudes.

I think it was last week that I sent a PM to JB21.   I was speaking off the cuff and being sarcasitc but I asked him to please attack the Bish and leave us waaaay outnumbered Knights alone.    It was one of those nights where the Rooks had about  40 more players than the Knights and the Bish had at least 80 more players than the Knights.

It only takes 3 or 4 Rooks to put a beatdown on the Bish.

I won't argue with that. I fly Rooks and I am always surprised when I see Bish above me when I reach target.

My response to people who whinge about alt-grabbers is that you only need take up smoking and you will have all the altitude you want.
