well, in my post i wrote "very smart of you".
usually people take this sentence as a compliment. otherwise in some contexts, it can be taken as an ironic phrase.
i guess everyone can understand what i was meaning

btw, i'll join the mr_burns "mutual TIE union" as soon as it opens :Pp

Now that I see that this is not a joke. I would say three things:

- No answer for a mutual TIE request, means (for me) NO.
- Mixing moral and ethical arguments seems completely exagerated for just a game. As a game, ethics and morality are restricted to following the rules.
- Some people may think that offering mutual TIE request is highly unfair and lacking of sportmanship.

Enjoy the game! ;-)

We don't want a fake game like the one in the USA first division no?

I'm laughing with you.

Really.

"uh oh, a new team came in first division. it's stronger than us. maybe we could mutual TIE and play normal against him. cool? cool."

that's not against the rules. that's not a good practice IMO.

But what if we know that you reallly, really want it? Sure you've had a couple drinks, and that outfit you're wearing doesn't necessarily mean YES. But still, it would be so good for both of us - it would feel so right.

Why would you want to ruin that?

We can play "Just the Tip (Off)", if you like to ease you into it.

What the hell? I really don't understand your complaints. At first I thaught it was a joke...

I'm very sure that this mutual TIE-ing isn't helpful for fair and balanced gamplay. This game is about competition and tactics for god's sake! Do you think it's fair for the people who don't offer their opponents TIE-ing? Of course not, because they don't get the enthusiasme increase!

So in my opinion people who offer TIE-ing should blame themselves, if their opponents use the revealed tactics against them.

Why don't you add arranged money laundering to the title? Can you make a template for me to ask my friend to "buy a player" for some extra cash?

If you don't take this grave issue seriously, I ask that you don't post here.

Intentionally over-bidding is illegal, mutual-TIE (at least as of right now) is not. I certainly think it is against the spirit of the game, and should be discouraged in some official way. I like the idea of having greater loss of fan support for losing on TIE as compared with losing on normal or CT. This has worked in HT, and would enhance the realism of the game.

As for people getting upset about no-responses to TIE requests, if mutual-TIE is part of the game, then so are all the strategies surrounding it. While not responding not a TIE request may be annoying, and lying may be unsportsman-like, they remain a legal part of the game, and a risk you take when you get involved in mutual-TIE.

For my part, if someone requested a mutual-TIE from me I would respond. I would say no, and I would be much less polite about is than I am being in this public setting.
