Killed a Bishop goon the other day at 25k, and the rooks fly high. haha Yeah okay. :lol
Not to mention he actually dropped his troops also. Good Luck to those grunts reaching the ground. :neener:

The only Bish ever seen over 20K was because he went AFK on autoclimb. He vowed never to do it again. Bish only fly as high as they can count. :lol

killed a bish goon today at 16k5 .. wth? :headscratch:

that was our high alt recon obviously. You guys don't know that if you take a goon up to 16.5K that it gives you mobile radar or do we bish only have this

The Rooks are horrible people, completely unorganized and some truly vile Rook loyal squads. They will pick from 25k, jump in on 1 v 1s and run NOE rolling undefended bases. There is constantly a Rook spy in both Bish and Nit camps giving away CV locations and reporting missions. At least 15 AFK rooks sit in tower on the Bish side to drive their eny up. There are always some bloody Australians there too. Vile bunch.

i love everyone in this game!
bish & rook let me practice in perk planes for cheap as a knit.
i was boggled today by a rook spit at 30k that flew past my b17's at 22k, without a second look. WTF was he up there for? Bomber intercept? LOL

Hello Fubar,
I take no joy in pissing someone off sir. I just can't resist red icons. It's like the bull seeing that red cape. Have no fear, I will get what is coming to me. I do so on a regular basis!
:salute

Bishops & Rooks simply control the game. They get less ENY restrictions, their CV's respawn faster, their ords & towns rebuild in shorter time, and they do win every collision.
At least that's what I'm being told every day on KWC (Knight Whine Channel).
-
i see some pretty good teamwork in mw by the rooks.
Tsk,tsk. Don't you know there's only one arena? And it's Late War Orange? Silly man; you should know better. Real men will try for hours to get in there, and rather than go into an un-capped arena they must come to the BBS and post yet another whine about arena caps.

yup rooks work together in mw .6 bish 11 rooks 11 playmates .and playmates running rooks bases.and the rooks are hitting bish.go figure.same old same old .
sorry for the hijack
-
I am Bish period. :banana: Now with that being said, some people call it HORDING I call it "TEAMWORK with purpose". Some nights the bish can get on a roll. Other days, you can offer free hookers, drugs, ice cream, cold beer and the bish can't do a darnnn thing. I am glad you got to see us on a good teamwork night. Thanks goes out to anyone that joins my missions. BTW-almost everytime I run a mission I tell the guys to use teamwork, why because U live longer. :cheers:

Do you have a film of this?
-
I been a Bishop for years and while we have a few guys who put up very good missions. I still hear how the Bishops are not organized like the Rooks from other Bishops. Myself and a few squad mates went over to the Rooks for a tour and strange enough I hear other Rooks say how Rooks are not as organized as the Bishops. From my point of view it is about the same on both sides. Other than I don't see many big mission on the Rook side as I did on Bishops so far. I am sure the Knights say the very same thing about how they don't have team work. There is no arena commander for any country and we all pay our $14.95 a month so we can do as we wish with our time. Teamwork is voluntary for us all here in the cartoon wars and it is better on some days than others.
-
Is it just me ? I never look to see what country member I am going after. Whatever base needs defending or taking I go there and don't really care which country it is. I guess some rivalries are just 2 country, but HT I believe put 3 countries there for a reason.

It's rather moronic to say "this side flies this way, while this side fights this way and this other side flies and fights this way..." when all side fly the same.
But thank you for your deep insight into the psyche of the players for each country, I see watching Dr. Phil in the afternoons has paid off for you.

You want to see organization on a massive scale?
You need to check out the next ROOK Mission-of-the-Month
scheduled for Tuesday, October 12th. And it all happens
right in the Titanic Tuesday arena.
Heck, we even have one planned between the Rooks
and Bishops with each of their MoM's going up against
the other. (look for that one in November). :aok
Oh you'll be seeing organization, yessir, that you will.. ;)

It already happened in October of 2005, nothing will ever come close to it again.

If nothing else, this was entertaining.
I always complain that the Bish spend way too much time furballing when we should be taking advantage of ENY or Knights and Rooks involved in a big fight.
The Circus went Rook for an evening last tour, and all we heard from the Rooks was the exact same things we heard from the Bish.
Its all the same, no matter who ya fly for.
But I do recall shooting down a rook C47 last week and 10 Nit sheep bailed out... :huh

The secret 4th country is made up of all those folks who aren't sure what country they are flying for on a particular night. I do know it tends to be filled with the sounds of Allisons, Blenders, Tators thumping, radial engines and the occasional Merlin :)
Could be it's the land of Illusion, where things aren't what they really seem to be..... :noid

I flew with the rooks but man it wasnt good. We dove on people way down below. It made me ashamed. And when it did it in was There was no teamwork ever. I was flying alone all the time into a horde of bishes. Man I did my time in that horrible country and I have to say this.....
Bishops- America
Rooks - Evil Germans
Knights- Horde of angry black zombies from re5????

Well my squad went Rook for a month because we were going to start to rotate from country to country. I myself will not be doing that again. I believed one country would be the same as the others. And to some degree that is true. However I could not even get a box of supplies out on a spawn or any other help in defending a base except for the very same few guys I saw at ever base under attack.
It seems most Rooks can't grasp the importance of poking ords and troops at the base attacking yours. The Knights took a hole island away from the rooks the other day with over twenty more Rooks on than Knights. No help, no support from almost anyone. Just furball until they lose the base.
If you ask for help you get ridiculed on the county channel and told go Bishop if you don't like it, so I did. While I see some very good pilots and tankers on the Rooks and some great guys there as well. As a whole I see little or no team work. I saw very few missions by the Rooks and even fewer successful ones. I went back to the Bishops and was in more missions in threes hrs than I was in 30 days as a Rook. It is your $14.95 so play as you will. I for one am glad to be back with the base hording Bishops.

I think that has nothing to do with Rooks (or Bish or Knights). That could had happened the very same way if you had been a Rook for years and then suddenly switched to Bishops.
Players tend to follow such requests from close friends or virtual comrades that did fight side by side with them for a long time. Strangers or "enemies" that just switched over are less likely top get help. While playing for Bish for years, you have developed a lot of ties that were just missing on the Rook side.
And it may have also played a factor that you squad hasn't always had a.. well let's say: It didn't always had the best reputation among those that were "on the other side". And what goes around, comes around ;)

Hmmmmmmmm i have a question......
I am a Muppet, we switch constantly! maybe even multiple times a night, so would that make us evil germonic Americans who have been bitten and have been transformed into angry black zombies?
or are we angry black zombies of american and evil germonic heritage
or are we evil germans who reside in america and have angry black zombie tendancies
or are we.......
oh to hell with it!
we are MUPPET'S!!!!!! thats good enough for me!

Well while I was a Rook for this tour I played the game just as hard as I did while a bishop with over 300 GV kills. You have a point about being in a country for just one tour and not getting help when asked. However I was with a few of the Rook old timers like PoolFool and no one helped him ether.
The squad I am in should be of no importance. The point is I am an above average tanker and I can pork ords at a large air field all alone in a single P-51D and fly home. I was doing both for the Rooks. You would think someone could drop a box of supplies out for who ever or what ever squad member is doing the boring work.
Stuff like defending a base on the ground or shutting down the ords and troops at the next base and running a box of supplies to your buddies. It ain't as fun as furballing maybe but it is stuff that needs to be done. But like I said it is your $14.95 spend it as you will.

I do, however in 2005 the objective wasn't swarming other countries strats with 20+k bombers. I have no beef with the LCA's, except the TT issue. But meeting gldnBB in Dayton this year, shows him I'm a nice guy. But, in game if anyone tries to give most LCA's sound reason, you guys berate them continually (ie - hypocrisy).
Hell, some of your squaddies might have participated in the October of 2005 "Truce". I know most of Rookland did and a lot of Knights.

Have you flown in or against the recent MoM? I have only flown against them at altitude and outnumbered even then they are still fun. I haven't heard anyone other than you have a problem with them.

While you were in Bish land with 9 GIAP and other squads, you missed a lot. I do NOT "have a problem with them" as I clearly stated my only beef. I do not support the taking of TT bases as do a lot of like-minded veterans. But I do not lump in the followers with the sweetheartbags who promoted it openly on Rook country channel.
But again, nothing on the scale of "The Truce" will ever be rivaled in the MA's. The Arena caps will not allow for it. (EDIT: The current arena cap was my only reason for my first post, which 96Delta replied. It wasn't even a negative or insinuative post, just the truth. But hey, pile on boys!)
