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?

Agreeing to mutually take it easy with some league members, while using the stored enthusiasm to pummel other league members, is dishonest. It puts the team not part of the agreement at a disadvantage. They have to look at a team, look at how important the game is vs the strength of the team they are playing and make a tactical decision.
It also puts members of other countries who do not have this agreement in place with opponents in the same kind of disadvantage that is not in the spirit of an individual, not team driven, competition.
You know the dictionary. Im guessing by your tag and your team name you graduated from Wake Forest. I hope you took a class on ethics somewhere along the line.

No you hit my points pretty well. All I was saying is you being honest came out with the fact you mutually arranged games. You stated it's not illegal and don't see a problem with it. The teams in the NBBA when first accused then asked the same question tried to justify what they do instead of speaking out about it. I read the suggestive post back when it was posted and felt this TIE/CT should of been taken out of the game until the defined the levels BB wanted to reach was attained.
Your absolutely right on about it being a strategic tactic. What burns (and I am sure countless others) is the profit gained by the collusion. This isn't 2 teams we are talking about, but more which makes any success watered down for the sake of preservation.
What really makes me mad is the same group that in some way is involved with our National Team is the same group we are talking about. These are NT assistants that have information to all the American players as gathered by the leader. While I am making no accusations here, where is the limit of this collusion between these teams reach?
This crap become the norm because it's the only way other teams can compete against the establishment. That still doesn't make it right.

You are correct to an extent. Medicial steroids are legal in the US and were the EXCUSE of many of these players. How they obtained them, shared them and then LIED about it is what made it wrong.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I do have one question.
Several
ethics classes? Why would you need so many? :)
