General discussion for Knits
« on: February 24, 2003, 09:12:12 AM »
Well its 10.00am Monday morning and I still can't work out why we can't get anything going.
Early on this morning we had the Bish down to 2 fields, a 17 field lead on the Rooks, and more players than the other two sides combined.
What was so difficult to understand about everyone piling onto one of the remianing two bases?
Out of the 60 online we maybe got 20-ish to actually participate in the final push, and my heartfelt thanks goes out to all those involved. But where were the other 40? Well hunting CV's, in GV's at other bases, manning ack guns? Who knows because I certainly don't.
What is so difficult to grasp about the bases/numbers equation?
Instead of resetting the Bish I fully expect to return home from work and find the Rooks have reset them instead.
Once again we will manage to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory!
I know people say missions, missions,missions, with those sort of numbers shouldn't have been needed, just everyone to go to one base.
Anyway once again thanks to all those who did try it was fun flying and dieing with you all.

Looks like a "General" discussion for sure. Obviously, you Knights need more "Generals".

Hmmm… Having fun maybe and/or not caring about the strategy game?

Just a guess though, I could be wrong :)

Who knows, it resulted in myself and a lot of the more senior players logging off in sheer frustration. I would have been pulling what little is left of my hair out if I had stayed longer.

O.K. WldThing.
Guess I can grab comfort from the fact that if the Bish are up to 13 fields then the Rooks couldn't do it either. ;)
Bishes, can't kill 'em permanently, can't bury 'em in the back yard, lol.

When the going gets tough the tough get going ... home.  While the rest of the Knit patriots stayed on and fought the good fight, you and other deserters left them to die without any support.  That's just terrible!

Communications
« Reply #12 on: February 24, 2003, 01:37:44 PM »
This should not be a surprise to any player or squadron with any country.  The Bishops, Rooks and the Knights have said at one time or another “nobody will work together to make a combined push”.  The break down is the communication between players and squadrons; one just happens to bump into the other on room channel or just happens to see it on text saying  that they are going for this target.

There needs to be another channel added so squadron to squadron, wing to wing communication can be made.  

The clutter of only one channel makes it difficult to carry out a combined effort.  So I would boil the answer down to communications as the problem.

The only point in capturing a field is if that allows you to be closer to the next enemy field.   I still haven't figured out the point of 'winning" the war.
