It's a team game, so I'm somewhat surprised that you find team loyalty among the players stupid or even unexpected.

For me the "chess piece loyalty", aka. esprit de corps and camaraderie add a lot to the game. I thought that was what online multiplayer was all about.

Right....I mean, of course you're entitled to your opinion!  Question I have for you is:  Do you think that people who switch sides are traitors to the cause?  That they should be howled at, made fun of, treated as spies...?  That sort of thing?

NO I don't, I may kid others but I really don't care one way or the other at all. I know plenty of guys on the other sides and I look forward to flying against them to me it makes it fun. Like I said to each their own, it's a sandbox have fun. Besides whenever I am on the sides are usually pretty much even and no chesspiece is at an advantage in numbers for very long. The fact that my Squadron has always been Rook is the main reason I stay Rook....They are the only folks who will actually put up with my Shenanigans... :neener:
