because a no gives you a tell, maybe i should start a thread "against asking for mutuals" TIEs ;) For me saying no to an TIE agreement means that you plan to play normal or much more, so if i'm forced to reply i will tell you yes and do like i want.

In ignoring it could be misunderstood, or something else ...

Maybe you ignore the question, because you won't give a hint to your opponent, and when you are because you give a hint to this player maybe you should think about that there that you had to mutual TIE. if you make it you gain an advantage with the risk of at ell or that you got betrayed.

PS: i like to ask you for an TIE in german and french, i hope you don't understand so that you get punish under the new rules ;)

Fair enough - I would hate to add to the issues,

While mutual ties are legal, I question the regularity used. According to some posts, some teams TIE most of the season - in which is not what I thought it was supposed to be used for.

Never been asked for a Mutual TIE, and while I think it's ok, would not want to see it as a normal practice throughout the game - But it is buyer beware and the team that asked could break it just as easily

Dead on! What a load of s... to even put this up as a problem. I had never heard of the idea of agreeing to boost team morale. I hate the fact that 2 teams dont compete with the rules as they are and try to win every game with the better tactics. Damn it, I would be more ashamed trying to be the one seducing this scam then I would be angry at the one who did not respond or broke the agreement. Just my thoughts.

Please let's not let this turn into a debate as to the merits of Mutual TIE'ing - it's already been universally accepted as the greatest thing about Buzzerbeater. This is not in question.

What is in play is those damn dirty apes that ignore Mutual TIE Requests. A kind and gentle soul reaches out for the good of their team and they forget the most critical of all human gifts - Communication.

And then, THEN, they use this olive branch to their team's advantage. It disgusts and appalls me. It's obvious that I'm not the only one, and I applaud my righteous brothers that have joined my cause and have spoken out against this callous act.

The worst of this matter its that Ill be the one taking the worst of the TIE´s pact that this user (stogey23) has made, as today Ill be facing him on the B3 and he gathered spirit ilegally, I think that its not fair and that he should be punished.

If the BBs say it's not illegal (and they have said that), then it's not illegal.

No punishment will be given.

I am sure that your team, like everyone still in BB3, has been Tie'ng every game for quite a while to build up enthusiasm. And unlike some of the American and Italian teams, we both play in leagues that have a somewhat lower level of competition (due to less teams and other factors), which means even when we Tie, we still have a good chance to win. Yet, I haven't heard any complaints from those teams about that yet.

And unlike those American leagues, our teams in Canada always respond to each other's BB mail - as it is just the polite thing to do.

Ignoring Mutual Tie Requests is such a big problem that it was probably even forseen by the BB's in the development of the game and that's probably why today we can't mutually TIE our scrimmages.

Imagine how beautiful it would have been? And we are missing on all that fun...
