You don't have any valid points to say your mutual TIEs are right other than sticking by the letter of the law and saying its not in the rule book. Congratulations for clutching onto a technicality. By represent I guess I mean what United States competitors should be about, winning because they are the best. The teams that are in it are relying on systems and exclusions in rulebooks. I am very much from the US WFU03. I have lived here my whole life, pay taxes, vote. Sorry to call out a friend of yours? Thats the only reason I can see for you getting involved and taking up for their side.

Why are you defending your posse when there may just be some truth to what he is saying?

The kid in may ways is right. He got called out by a "GM" using tactics that are questionable in a game that has too much gray.

The defintion is very broad from "acting dishonestly" to violating the rules. Explaining why are you mutually TIE seems to fall somewhere in there because if what they were doing was right, they would come right out and say what they are doing. I know KDB mutually TIE games. I didn't with him and didn't respond to his request.

There is a lot more collusion going on than what is being said in the forums and it stinks people have to go to "great lengths" to be the best in the USA.

Yoo hoo Juice Pats..........- we are waiting for you.......

Im just hoping the next BBB match your in, they can read english, read this post, and put you out of it.

I'll cover that for you.



HEY JBMCROCK!

Your next opponent, eh.

He TIEs every game, eh?

So go ahead and prepare yourself accordingly, eh!

By the way, I think you are the favourite, eh. But do me a favour, eh and keep this on the down low.

I'll use it in a sentence.

It would be dishonest to agree to a Mutual TIE and then Normal or CT.

Am I understanding the lesson Deadmeat?

Just because its not in the rules and everyone does it, doesn't make it right.

Another strategic option we are all given is wait. Wait and let the game mature. Wait and let players get better. Wait 5-10 years so we can be as good (assuming it's possible) at mutual TIE's as they are now. All we have heard is we are not supposed to be as good as the NBBA is. We are not supposed to compete with them. Your team got booted this last season so appearently you were not strategic enough stay up.

There whole point was to make this game better, not abuse it and profit from it. Day trading wasn't illegal but was banned. Lets hope this is next.

It's good to know you are not afraid to comment on your mutual TIE's.

Forgive me if Im wrong but technically MLB didnt outlaw steroids in MLB until 2002 and didnt even start handing out suspensions until 2005. Before 2002 I seem to remember a lot of good normal looking baseball players turn into simean foreheaded freaks of nature hitting jacking long balls all day long. Technically were steroids wrong in baseball? No. An actual court of law may have something to say but the MLB didnt.

So Barry Bon....errr...King drive, lemme hang a star next to your last seasons championship...while Im at it Giambi..errr..Juice-pats (how fitting), and Cansec...I mean Stogey....have fun in your world where yeah sure TECHNICALLY you are right, its not wrong, but its amazing how quickly the mighty fell off once the jig was up and the juice was out....Much like the US in the Global arena last season.

Sure in this game theres not rule against mutual TIE, but in the eyes of the rest of us, lets just put that asterisk next to your names and call it good eh?
