Title: Quote of the day

At log-in, the numbers were something like bishies-68, nits-41 and crooks had 38.  I switched sides to kill bishie horders (and lost a 262 colliding with a B-17 :bhead) and was mostly well received, but I guess you can't please everyone.

Who knew there were so many untrustworthy side switchers?   :O

BTW, I got a "switch-bot" that lets me change sides at will and never have to wait 12 hours.  Ironically, ArchieD gave it to me.  Send him a PM for your free copy! :banana:

Chess piece loyal players are not to be trusted, they run away from a fight like girls. The ones that switch sides you can garantee will try to kill everything red they see.

So let me get this straight.

If I stay on my side and we have more numbers, I am a hoarder.

If I switch sides I am a dishonest spy.

Ballz :(

I always fly Rook. I switched for a few hours years ago to both Knight and Bishop and just enjoy the community over there better. I know everyone pretty well and so I like flying Rook. I know some folks that switch and I always hate that because I am pretty competitive and dislike engaging a pal.

It is amazing how upset people get about someone switching sides. I get upset over dumb stuff too so I can understand in a way. However, they claim "spies" which is absurd.

Yup.  Apparently the correct response when your side has a numbers advantage is for the appropriate number of people to log out.

Makes sense to me.

I switch when the numbers are off also.. I did yesterday because of this.

I get to make more friends.  Yesterday I got to fly with my old buddy Wagger when we defended the strats with his new squad.  I got to meet Hopper.

Hopper is my friend.

Ok you're right I can't be trusted and run like a girl.  :frown:

   I don't mind the side switchers and respect some squads that will "tour" the other countries for a Month.  :salute

   I don't know if it's the times or what but People in the text buffer are showing real hate for each other. Even on country channel if they fought the enemy as hard as they fight each other they would do better.

   Maybe ArchieD got burned by a side switcher and has little trust for them. I don't know but is he here to defend himself?  Surely a rule has been broken by the OP and Skuzzy is AWOL it seems of late.  :noid

 Edit: Dam I just broke rule #5

How could someone switching sides negatively effect ArchieD? Just curious.

  By affecting His gameplay. Guys on your own side you get to know and they won't jump in front of your guns while you're on a Con. They won't drive CV's into PT spawns or turn it while you're trying to take off. (well most of the time)

  I said I don't know what ArchieD's grief is with sideswitchers But to deride his comment out of context (where is the rest of the story) and to suggest people PM him is BS.

That was an obvious joke. :huh

And there is no "rest of the story".  Nobody affected his gameplay except himself.  There was joking around on country channel about side switching and the fanatical loyalist voiced his opinion on the matter.  Who knows why he was mad enough to type that.  Maybe because the rooks were getting steamrolled.  maybe because he just doesn't like me, or one of the others who switched to help his team.  Which is the whole reason for posting this: we switched to help the low numbered side and get grief for it.  How unseemly it is to leave the hording side and fight for the side getting hammered.  It is just dirty pool, I tell you.  :rolleyes:

The few folks who have issues with sideswitchers is usually the result of immaturity.

They live through the game instead of real life.

I don't care which side, I just want a good scrap without:

My opponent running to ack
My opponent running to friends and then turning back
My opponent bailing

I love them fights where you are literally sweating, stall horn blaring, you've got damage, so has he.
When you are fighting with flaps, throttle and views.

Apparently everyone on BBS feels the same.

So who are all these runners and gangers

It sucks when your high buffs are shot down by the same person who's icon was green as he landed at the field you took off on your bomber mission.

:lol If ppl take me beating them down in the wrong way then they take this game way too serious.

It is funny you said that though I had Jokers Jokers so upset they supposedly passed a squad vote that they never wanted me on Bish,or the Jokers vox any more.

I laughed for days and still do to this day!  :D   :devil

I like to switch sides from time to time, I usually only play in the DA.  I enjoy talking to everyone no matter what side.  In my opinion if you can get into a pissing match with someone over this game, then you take it WAY TOO SERIOUSLY.  just my $0.02 :salute
