I haven't joined a squad yet, and I'm assuming that will largely determine what side I fly, but in the meantime---suggestions?
Thanks!
No, actually its not bad to switch sides.
Of course, youll always have people that will cosider it abomination to switch sides, because they are fiercly loyal to their chess piece and "The War" thats fought. Youll get called a spy, traitor .... let your imagination play
.
But dont worry too much about that. If you feel like switching between the sides, dont let the name calling stop you. I myself hop between the countries regularly, usually to fly for the side with the lowest number, but sometimes just to wing with a friend (or even fight him
). If i get called a spy, i just agree and say "WIIIIITCH, buurn her at the stake!!". That gets a good laugh out of most people. Mostly, i get a nice goodbye from the country i leave and a warm hello from the ones i join.
Bozon is right. Even though people alwaystry to put "typical behaviour" on the countries like "rooks are alt monkeys" or "Knits cant work together" or "all the Bish do is hide in hordes".... youll find that in the end, all countries are the same. Not much difference really.
The time limit for switching again is 6 hours i think.
PS: What
is frowned upon is switching countries to really spy - like just to get position of a CV and give it to your (ex-)team members. But i know thats not what you were talking about.
