I highly recommend you relegate to II next season & test the validity of your claim. You will find it is not the rosy scenario you portray.

I'll let you know how that goes.

Doesn't have to be said but this is a fine idea and all in theory but it would never work in practice. I'd bet half the teams wouldn't go through with it (I know I wouldn't). I'd enjoy watching most teams destroy their enthusiasm in the name of maybe winning 1 game while I keep mine high and beat most of them. Or maybe I missed your point, which is highly likely.

"Wholly NBBA chat room Batman"

I think your all crazy and self serving! It's outrageous that a debate that has gone on since I can remember is back for yet another season. Last season it was LMA saying it's unfair no one goes after ICE (unfair PD). Then there was the DFC page post where it's sad that now "everyone" is MTIEing. It's safe to say we all know where DFC's non-TIE stance got them while the other teams in the collective are still in the NBBA. Where as a certain team from Chicago (take your pick and there really is no offense meant by this) benefitted from a number of elements that included some MTIE's.

The worst part about the whole thing is coming back after you MTIE your season and talk smack to other teams who didn't claiming it's a strategy and this game is all about that. There is a reason I don't watch survivor and it plays itself out here! Can we draw up sides for Heros and Villans?

So lets ask ourselves, do we really want parity? Will teams quit if we achieve that?

Who cares if Waggy CT'd ice? I really don't and good moral victory for him. If his next 3 or 4 opponents agree to MTIE with him, did he really lose ground? So who cares if he takes a stand? He won't be the first and he is just outlining what we already know, feel and question. We already know the system is flawed and people are going to use the system. I am going to use the system. Why? Because I benefit just as much as they do.

The real question I have (and we will find out at the end of the season/s) is will it matter? Six games are done, teams have already built up and enthusiasm advantage by MTIEing. Once more, it's not like it's going to stop teams from doing it.

DA BEARS!

Well their moves caused them the draft this year

Again, I don't see how I'm getting lumped into this. I've played a grand total of 2 playoff games in the last 3 seasons. In that time period, the Giants have played 4 D.II playoff games, 2 NBBA relegation playoff games, and recieved $1,000,000 in promotion money. Who do you think came ahead financially in that matchup?

Secondly, as I said earlier, I'm consistently slightly-above average in salary but way below the league leaders.

Financial information is my speciality, however I don't intend to bore the rest of the forum with numbers.

I will ignore the failure of your post to mention your access to BBB money during this same time & instead, highly recommend you relegate to II next season & test the validity of your claim. You will find it is not the rosy scenario you portray.

I would have to agree with waggy here and I would contend last season demotees are not all that thrilled right now either.

I think I lost in the Cup, unless they fixed the 'Manage My Team' finances bug.

Ouch..doesn't appear that they fixed it.

It's showing up now. I'm good.

I'm pretty sure I set my lineup a few days ago but definitely didn't set my tactics or enthusiasm. So this should be fun, on the road against the 78th ranked team. I'm too scared to look at my economy to see if I won.
