Title: Which is it? Cards or chess? Silly post.
Post by: Anaxogoras on March 18, 2008, 01:18:46 PM

Since the name of the game is Aces High, wouldn't it make more sense for the countries to be named Spades, Diamonds, etc.  I can't think of a single chess metaphor that applies to air combat, whereas the term 'Ace' has been around for nearly 100 years.  Changing the country names to suits would also be a great excuse for a 4 country war (if you all are into that).

And how under manned do you think the "Hearts" would be?  May as well add a new side here and call them the "Queens".

Hmmmm...  Lots of interesting and profound commentary here. :D

I don't even remember what sort of slur 'spade' is supposed to be.  I'm not quite 30 yet so maybe that explains it.

It is a good sign people are actually not learning these things, maybe it will expand exponentially.

Oh honey, pink is so over rated.  Besides it doesn't match my skin tone.  Maybe a nice floral pattern would look fabulous, and provide some camouflage when flying over the Dutch coast. :lol
