first off. It is not a 'problem' as is stated in the initial post! It is important to understand that. problems
need to be fixed. This is open for discussion.
I can understand it is annoying, and I will never 'arange'a mutual TIE, but I do like to be able to manage my enthousiasm as I like it, and I also HATE it when the CT against me to win, because you can see it happen from a mile away what the result is: Win agains tme, loose next two games. The only ones who gain are the teams playing my opponent after me. But it is not because I don't like it that it is a problem to the game.
if TIE must be punished when you loose, then I say you must get punished the next 2 or 3 games you loose after a CT as well, since you know very well you are likely to loose those if you CT to get a win. Looks just the same to me.

It's all in management and how everyone sets his priorities.
Don't forget, teams that arange mutual TIEs will not gain advantage in the end, since they give up on the strenght of it and 'share' it with their opponents. In the end their enthousiasm will not be higher then any of the others they arranged it with, so what's the advantage?
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
