Dingy....I hear ya and agree with ya.

What I don't agree with is the offered solution to have others change countries so that all will be fair...and then to insult anyone who doesn't follow that same mindset.

As an American Biggot, I seem to remember the same whiney behavior by those populating grade school playgrounds. And to imply that only the Rooks have been in the barrell since tour 19 is really a treasure.

Oh, and btw, I refered to socialism as put forth by your little idea of changing countries when things get tough by the following definition....

Quote
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property


To have expressed your feelings as a Rook is certainly your right and might have solicited some empathy by yours truly...but to insult others by calling their choices guttless and then demanding like a child that all should play your way, is at best amusing and is most definetly nothing new within this genre.

Ya see, this is how it works here in America....if somethin gets tough or becomes unpleasant, we all strap on our six-shooters and go kill it...perhaps if you took advantage of your Rook plight and used your time online improving you skills, you might enjoy yourself more often? Just a thought.

Rude so by your definition, immigration is socialism?

What does property have to do with changing countries?
A country in this game is identity not property.

It seems this discussion is a waste of time.

Ah, so we agree that this is the TYPICAL BBS discussion from the first post to this of mine?

Good!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

>>Very well put MrSid. That was exactly what I was trying to say<<

Separated by a common language? I believe this is what I was getting at also but, you seem to have disagreed with me :)
It is true though, it depends what time a person logs on to fly. Hehe, I still think (purely subjective) Rooks are the choice of the day, every day, for Kinigits and Bishits :)  They all want us...'they hate us cause we are beautiful'  :D

These are what I've come to dislike in the arena but I have no solutions.

1.  Rooks are always outnumbered when Im on.

Just last Sunday there were 135 Bish, 140 Nits and 70 rooks.  As we got pressed further into a corner decreasing our options, our numbers dropped to 50.-Ding


Dingy, I don't know when you fly, the numbers peak somewhere around 8-10 p.m. CST.  I tracked the population count for two weeks (when I logged in and logged out) and the Bishop had the lowest count 13 nights out of 14.

I have noticed the Bishop frequently have a small numbers lead during the afternoons.  Perhaps the majority of Europeans are BIshop?  And yes, the Knights frequently outnumber everyone.

The AKs no longer rotate countries (we fly Bishop only) and one of the contributing reasons was low Bishop numbers.  Hey, it's great!  You always have targets. :)

WHOA WHOA WHOA there Rude.  When did I ever insult anyone because they disagreed with me????  There was not one thing that I recall I said where I insulted anyone. :(

Hopefully, you were talking about someone else.  I stand by my words tho regarding numbers in the arena.  89 nit, 75 Bish, 50 rook.  Seems like it did last week, and the week before that, and the week before that week...and on..and on...:rolleyes:

Rude you have to understand the definition in order to make use of it.

What goes with namecalling, read back a little and see the part where you started the slandering with the socialist referral.

It was not me that started it.

Know what this post looks like?

"WE'RE BEING GANGED UP ON..WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
:rolleyes:

Dingy - most of us will just log if we are down to just a few airports. It's hard to play when a few fields are left and you got enemy all over the place.  So the 60vs120vs20 is just what it is...guys who will log and wait for a map reset.

Calling folks guttless is not name callin eh?

I do understand this much...my definition as used applies...it's not my concern you do not understand it.

One thing that will never change, and all of the older players know this to be true...there will always be someone like you tryin to tell everyone how to play this sim....it gets old, just like replying to your posts.

I'm done.
