I remember back when Rookland was in the crapper on numbers, one of the AK's coming on here to see if a large squadron would consider moving to Rook to help balance the numbers.

Funny how they stayed Bish, tho.

Maybe the AK's should jump to Knights now to balance the numbers. :rolleyes:


I read in the WSJ today how the latest financial analysis points to the AKs as the cause for the recent economic downturn.  

I LIVE to shoot down AKs.  They're the squad I most love to hate.  Too bad they're also, on the average, so much better than I...  :D

Selective Memory.
I've been playing for about a year and a half.  In that time, I've seen the bishops dominate, and the bishops in the hole, the knights dominate, and the knights in the hole, the rooks dominate, and the rooks in the hole.

Arena numbers seem to be based more on a teams momentary success than on which team it is.  Lose your HQ? Expect to lost a lot of players.  Down to 3 bases? Of course you're outnumbered 3 to 1 now.  On a rampage taking another countries bases? Expect your numbers to go up.

Numbers follow success, not the other way around.  During prime time without a reset imminent no team has few enough players for this to not be true.

Come on Knits....the whinin light is NOT lit!!!

Have you noticed a lot of former knits have left knitland and moved to ruks or bish? I guess they figured if you can't beat them join them.

But........

Have you ever noticed when numbers get even a little close to even the Knits start taking names and kicking booty?

It takes that many numbers just for them to take a few fields. Besides, you have more targets. Especially those yella, turn coat, commie pinko's that put their tails between their legs and jumped ship! ROFL

Damned if we do. No fun if we don't.

I been playing 3 yrs or so, with a couple of breaks, and never seen the bish in the hole for more than a couple of days...


Bish consistently have the higher numbers, no question in my mind.

Ive seen the bish in the hole for more than a couple days.A week at a time last time.GRANTED the bish seem to have the most numbers at the majority of times but let me clue yas in on something.When was the last time ya saw bish hordes on the BBS crying about it?:) :)
Bish may be overwhelming in numbers at times,but they sure dont wine about it when it cames back around.

I've been playing more or less constantly for almost two years, and I've yet to see it "come back around" on the bish.  Not for the months at a time you see with Rooks and Knights, anyway.

Call me silly, but I really doubt there's a lot of difference between the countries.

In any event, I was quite proud of the resistance the Knits put up at A9 tonight.  Three hard waves of rooks repelled.  When I quit to get some work done they were mounting a half-hearted fourth wave against us.  Granted, eventually we were going to loose it (rooks only had knights slighly outnumbered, but our perk bonus was 1.81 when I left, so we were going to get spanked in the end) but we made bloody work of it  :)

Seriously.I know the bish have the better hand most times,but what amazes me is that the bish dont cry about it when there in the hole.Ive NEVER swapped countries except one night to help the rooks as a squad opp of sorts.Knits and Rooks get the short end of the stick more than average by all means.Rooks more than Knits.Its not even close.I just like the fact the bish dont complaign when it get ugly for us.Shows class. :eek:

When it gets ugly for you, it's due to lack of skill, not lack of numbers.  ;)
