I think that instead for the 3 options now...then creating some kind of slider that lets you set the effort from 1-10 where 1=TIE and 10=CT would add some strategic depth to this. And there should be no mention in the game summary on how this was set.




I dont think mutual TIEs are that bad, except it really take away some depth of the game, as a mutual TIE is almost always an advantage for both teams.

I think giving some kind of punishment for loosing at TIE could work, because as some have already said, some people throw games away that they could have won using Normal. I have seen several games this season where Top teams in the Danish League just got away with a win even though the other team TIE'd it.

Not sure I follow this. If you TIE and lose, compared to a Normal and win, then why is there a need for punishment? You've already been punished by losing a game you should've won.

Agree on this.

But I was actually thinking that if they knew they would be 'punished' if TIE'ing and loosing, maybe few teams would not just throw away games against stronger opponents.

not only will this needlessly complicate things for most users, it will strenghten the mutual TIE effect even more, since teams who mutual TIE will both set it at lowest, which will give both the highest possible advantage...
I don't think the ones who are oposing the mutual TIE now, will settle down when this is implemented, on the contrary...

(note that I do not express any opinion about mutual TIE, I'm just indicating the likely result)

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

So then you punish them for trying to give their team a better shot (by TIEing instead of Normaling the current game) of winning their following game?

Well it obviously doesn't happen enough!! I would love to see some threads bitching and moaning about 'I offered a TIE and then I got normalled and lost'... everyteam home page should have a popularity % like national teams or at least a slider saying can they be trusted to mutual TIE...... (moves to suggestions if this post isnt in that forum!!)

I think instead, we should have a thread where we can all post the messages we get from teams that ask for mutual TIEs. We can call it the Girly Man post or something sissy sounding. There's nothing illegal about mutual TIEs, but at least we can call out the women's teams and make fun of them.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!
