Well see...it's like this Zig.

I got a phone call from Fatty... Said he just got a call from Westy, who had gotten a fax from Voss who just sent an email to Udie, who had just recieved some morse from Rip, who had seen some smoke signals from Wardog, who.... ah memory fails me here...

Anyways, Fatty told me to page Wabbit, who then sent a singing telegram to Hangtime, who passed a note to Ghosth, who tattood a message on banana, who FEDEX'd Verm, who... ah damn... memory again fails me.

In any event, the gist of it was "Gang up on the Knits on Thursday August the 10th, between 6pm and 12pm Pacific time".

You buy it?

I don't either.

Heh, smurfs in knightland...

Rooks/Bishops seem pretty well balanced currently.

Cause we figured we could get a complaint. (I thought it a good sign not one rook or bish posted complaining nits were averaging more than both combined lately)

Lemme ask ya? If ya had a choice of whom to pick on, would it be the guy who sez' "Salute! Good fight!" after the sortie? OR the guy that has an excuse everytime ya shoot him for why he died EXCEPT that ya flew it well?

Who is knit and is usually complaining about sumthin?
Now I won't mention any names, cuz that ain't my style, but I heard someone call em The Whining Crew once.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

To be honest, Ziggie, I pay hardly any attention to whether the con is knight or bishop.......the icon is red, and I am gonna fight, no matter what country.    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Don't really think anyone hates the knights at all...........just some nights work out that way!    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Heh, the kniggits have the numbers, on some days.

When we have the same numbers as rooks and bish combined, it is possible to repel their attacks and advance.

But when we're about equal numbers, that is quite hard.

Well, it gets a bit irritating from time to time that kniggits is such a popular target, but hey, at times it is downright fun.

"DIE vulcher DIE" is amusing  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

But I would wish that one down to two fields, you'd ALSO start picking on each other, just to give us a fighting chance.

Gee - usually when I'm on the Knights have more on than the Rooks or Bishops. I don't
really notice whether I'm fighting Knights or
Bishops anyway.  The Rooks are often outnumbered and being beaten on by both Bs and Ks at the same time - I think all 3
countries take turns being the underdog on
a regular basis depending on the time of day.

The only personal vendetta I have against knights is that the 3 times my chute has been gunned it was knights that did it. But I've seen a Rook gun a chute so we all have such
miscreants flying amongst us. I consider chute gunning an unnecessary and cowardly
rudeness.  I think that the chute gunner's
name should appear in the message buffer the
way a kill does:

"Chute kill perpetrated by <name>"
 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

It is interesting to note that Adolf Galland
was disgusted by the thought of chute gunning
and that the LW fighter pilots under his command didn't do it. When he was asked how he would react to orders to kill allied chutes he stated that he would avoid following such orders. I'm glad to say that most of our historical LW squadrons seem to honour the memory of their role models by
emulating Galland's behaviour.

Because we are fun to fly against!  The Knights have always been tough!

For those of you who think the Rooks are un-organized, think again!  The Rooks can be some bad-a_ _ed mo-fos.  Sometime it is depressing when ya can't get alt due to the bouncing, but that makes the kills ya get all the more rewarding!!     (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Another thing.  Many of the Bishes and Rooks are looking for a chance to shoot down Swager.  It is considered a great honor in most countries.  Since Swager flies for Knights it just makes sense that the Knights will experience overload most to the time!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Fluf, the increase of chute shooting has dramatically increased  since 'spys' have been confirmed due to Knight organization methods.  So, if you're hanging in a chute anywhere near an airfield, your probably better off to do a 700 ft canopy opening, and .ef as soon as your boots hit the ground.

I'm strafing any and all chutes near our airfields since I've had more than one spy ruin a big mission.

Because the knights are mean and evil and keep leaving their empty beer bottles in Bishland    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Actually last night when I logged on there was about 26 nits, 20 Bish and 9 Rooks, so I didn't think it fair to start attacking 9 Rooks!  When I logged off it was something like 37 nits, 24 Bish, 22 Rooks.  

BTW, whilst I was online Bish captured two Rook fields and then lost one, then retook it.  The knights were on a rampage so all attention turned against the knights, which I guess is to be expected.

Umm....everytime Im on (which hasnt been much lately) the Nits enjoy a 2 to 1 advantage against both the Rooks and Bishops.

You're lucky we're fiting the Rooks at all.

I'm with Dingy on this one.  I fly rook and every time I'm on there are twice as many knights as there are rooks.  I haven't seen the knights at a numerical disadvantage in weeks.

I fly Knight, and I don't feel hated.

Hell, I was even _helped_ in a dweebhunt through Bishland the other morning. Some dweeb called Potster kept challenging me to come fight him, alternating with cursing in Finnish (and no, I don't know any  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)), but wouldn't tell me where he was. Some friendly Bish told me, though, and I flew down there, shot him down (he was busy screaming at his countrymates on 100, while shooting tracers over their canopies, by then) and told him we'd fought, and he lost.

Didn't hear a peep from him after that, and even "winged" with a bish on my 6, all the way through Rookland  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Top Ten reasons for Attacking Knights!

1. Knights wear tights, dress like women and have long hair.
2. Knights are starting to whine more than Rooks!
3. Zigrat and the Wrecking Crew are Knights!
4. Knights abuse and violate our sheep!
5. Knight women are not satisfied with there husbands and love to be captured (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
6. Knights have overmodeled ego's and undermodeled tiny bananas and can't shoot straight.
7. Knights run to the ack often..this action is called a "Fort Knight" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
8. Knights generally attack and capture bases that have little activity and then write posts like this when Bishops and Rooks retaliate.
9. Knights sit at round tables and boast of  deads and conquests that never happened.
10. Knights have slumber parties and light farts, talk of rook & bishop conspiraces and about how cool it will be when then get old enough to drive.

Tope Ten true reasons for attacking the Knights:

1. Organisation/zigrat. These mean evil devlis have found a way to defeat the combined efforts of rookies and bishcuits. SUch evil socialistic behviour such as teamwork must be stopped. Halt the spread of communism; kill a knight!

2. It appears that while the rookies and bischuits are away gangbanging two knights, and failing, the rest of the knights are away gangbanging the families or rook/biscuit so called pilots. And a good number og children are being born in rook/bishland with big noodlees and iron underwear. Also, the famlilies of bish/rooks appear satisfied and happy once the rook/bish fighters come home. Clearly, this is not good.

3. They have fluffier sheep

4. Quantity vs quality. It worked for the Soviets during WWII. It will work for the rook/biscuts (or so they think).

5. The Knights have a high percentage of non dweeb LW fighters (109's and A8's). These are evil and must be shot down.

6. How else can we get them to whine?

7. They are superior to us, so let the plebeian masses unite in the name of Marx! And never mind the contradiction with #1.

8. There are evil elements of Satanists there. Any God fearing decent, modest and pure theist should do what he can to get to rape Knight daughters, kill their babies and shoot their dogs. After all, thebiblesaysit'sok and goddidit.

9. I hear they're really aliens, and those bastards shot Jerry Springer!

10. This StSanta dude is really getting on my nerves.
