Sigh...lets try this again.
First off..simaril if im not wrong you were asked out of your squad because you were jumping countries...thats the way i thought it was conveyed to me..apologies if im wrong
Point is BoPs are not the only squad with this rule...in fact most of the squads i know of have a form of this rule...now some will switch all together in rotation...but that is different as well.
The answer to the question HITECH is that is how I (falconwing, mike, solo yo) chose to form a squad. I chose to form a squad that flew for one country from guys who had commitment to that country. I elected to setup barriers to guys who jumped to whatever country was easiest. Again BoP was fired under the furnace that was the MA 2 years ago when Bish were heavily outnumbered. Please do a search and you will see that i posted in here at that time saying it was no fun being ganged by both countries. the answer given ( i believe by many of the current posters) was to organize better and have alliances. This is how we responded.
I've no interest in a 1v1 here, and it does seem we're having a failure to communicate. So, I'll leave it at this.
EDIT
I dont have anything against BOP -- I dont care how squads operate, but I do care about AH. I havent ragged BOP at all, but I HAVE suggested that with such large numbers the big squads need to acknowledge -- and adjust themselves for -- their disproportionate effect on small arenas. /EDIT
If you know how bad it is to be horded, why do you penalize your members for trying to make things even? You are a member of what used to be called a "caring profession," where compassion is a virtue -- why can't you see (or maybe why dont you care about) the effects of your actions on the larger community of AH?
In short, why do you see the inconveniences done TO you and not the inconveniences you DO TO others by making the Bishop icon more important than the people you play with?
(and btw -- no, I was not asked to leave my squad for going to other countries. Before I left rooks, I posted on our squad BBS that I was going to take a "grand tour of AH" to get to know more of the great folks in AH. The squad CO, Boozer, posted back that it was a good idea, and that I should meet as many as I could....and that I'd be welcome back when I was ready. If I recall, I even spent an evening flying with you, Falc.
Later in the month, there were some issues, that Boozer later apologized for on our forums -- and I will not go into the details of what happened, because its all meaningless water under the bridge. My decision to leave the 4th was entirely my own, and I was not asked to leave or ejected at all. Now I take my beatings from the guys of the 4th, and we throw the salutes liberally when we cross wings together.)
