I hope the BBs step in with some solution to force people to reply.

Good idea. Maybe if you get offered a Mutual TIE, and don't reply AND you DID read the email it will count as a CT for you -- since you had prior knowledge of the offerer's intentions.

Or if the offerer TIEs and the the other team doesn't reply, the offerer's TIE is played like a Normal but still increases enthusiasm like it was a TIE.

That's a little harsh maybe. I agree it's a problem. There has to be a good middle ground between nothing and your recommendation. It's a start though.

edit - maybe some kind of small penalty to attendance/merch rev, due to your fans being upset you're not taking advantage of promising relationships. Only in the case of the manager reading and failing to respond though.

Although, as a tack-on, if the team that proposes the mutual TIE does not, in fact, TIE, perhaps they should be penalized as well?


Good point, and brings in another part of the mutual tie issue. What's the punishment for teams that break tie agreements? The whole world cup SF fiasco brought this issue to light, but has been swept under the rug since. Breaking a tie request is far worse then ignoring them.

Definetely. People that break the agreement should be banned. After all, that has been proven as being the last step in the human de-evolution into animal :D

I think banning is probably too harsh, at least for the first offense. Some mixture of enthusiasm hit/fan loss is most likely the best course of action - along with "fixing" the enthusiasm of the offering team.

Wow, I didn't even know jokes could be so funny.

You guys opened my eyes, cheers

Now, when I'm after a good laugh I'll be sure to check this thread first.

Amazing.

Of course instead of dealing with the hard issues, you make light of my plight. I bet you have likely ignored your share of Mutual TIEs and that's how you have risen so quickly through the BB system.

In fact, I hear the entire Brazilian Liga Nacional participates in Mutual TIE Ignoring - to the point that any success in B3 should be rendered a complete and utter sham.

I think I just through up in my mouth a little bit at the mere hint that this is a laughing matter.

You disgust me.
