Title: Oh the Pain!
Post by: Rude on September 10, 2002, 03:41:32 PM
I understand fully how many of you Rooks and Knights must feel. You begin your online experience with great anticipation, counting your kills and measuring your accomplishments as you imagine the night ahead of you.

You roll down the runway....she lifts into the air and you're off to own the skies.

As you approach the fight, you scan the enemy, select your victim and dive to greatness!!!

Then it happens......you die like a girlscout.

As you sit in the tower wondering what went wrong, the truth of it all slaps you across your confused looking face.....The Bishops schooled me like it was my first day at La Petite!

Yes, it's sad that it happens this way, but let me try to make it better....perhaps clue you into  a few simple facts which might help you die more easily in the future.

Ya see, we don't care about whether or not you don't like the plane we fly...better yet, if it chaps your hide, that makes for an even better night out for us.

When we take off, we are yappin and catchin up on life or game issues because we are friends....we work together and share in the pleasure of making Rooks and Knights cry like newborns.

When we die, we're ok with that...it simply means that we have killed at least five enemy before buying it ourselves.

Your whining is music to our ears and laughter for our bellies.

So the next time you go up, try and remember that the Bishops are not paying any attention to how great you may think you are or how tough you may feel because you fly that early war ride. We don't care if you win the reset or capture a field.

We're only here to enjoy the sim, our friends and the whimpering of those who aren't well adjusted enough to call themselves a Bishop.

Later

Nice speach, untrue but nice :)

Bishops are the easiest to kill, only problem is they always have 10 - 1 numbers (which is smart) :)

What the hell are the teams for if not to work as a team?  

Sure, I like to fly solo also and see what kinda trouble I kind get into when nobody's looking but....

If this was all about every man for himself, there wouldn't be any teams or team objectives.

My 2 cents

Skill means nothing without teamwork.
Teamwork without skill, will beat skill without teamwork any day.

I find Bishes far easier to kill than Knits, as a general rule.

Well that's all in good and I'm happy for the Bishes.

Catching up with whats going on with your comrades is always easier for you Bishops.

You all ride the same little school bus that picks you up at your house...right ??

I got on one by mistake one time and the whole bus started yelling..

YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HERE !!

And a look at all the bishes faces told me..

They were right..

They sure go well with the pink panties I'm required to wear while flying a Spitfire.  :)

Sorry Gofaster, my vision was blurred from laughter. I just happened to get that image sent to me minutes before Poopsters post and the coincidence was killing me.

Rude, you toejamstorm starter. :D

Bishes are the easy kills, especially when they're in a Corsair.

Hey Rude... where from did you copy that Saddam Hussein proclamation??

Hey guys....I understand that sometimes the truth is hard to handle.

When you're skilled, talented AND handsome, other folks sometimes get envious. It's ok though, as we Bishops have always had a soft place in our hearts for the less fortunate.

I would suggest acceptance of the fact that not all can be the best....Rooks and Knights, we Bishops understand and will make every effort to kill you quickly so that the pain and frustration will be short lived.

Fellow Bishops....remember to be gracious and compassionate towards the Rooks and Knights.....to live your online life with no hope must be a tremendous burden.

Godspeed to the Bishops and to the Rooks and Knights, remember, life isn't always fair. Perhaps if you swim often in the pool of denial, it will ease the pain.

Cyas Up!

:)

Hey Rude... Did your modesty pills wear off, or did you take up drinking again?

I'll never forget the time, about 2 years ago or so, I was at 21k in my quad 20mm a8 and saw 4 p51's at about 18k.  I'll never forget downing all 4 of those 13th TAS p51's that night :p

I've located the following picture of a typical Bishop getting ready to fly:

BTW, for some reason Bishops seem embarrassed to use voice...:)

For comparison, here's a Rook:

While this is a Knight:

Udie.....

I'm not referring to my squad....while we may be average pilots, we hold the distinction of being superb individuals:)

Bishops as a whole is the topic here....we are the standard by which Rooks and Knights are found to be, well, less fortunate.
