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.

You are completely right. I can confirm that, as I have been the biggest victim of Mutual Tie Ignoring in Brazil.

Is it so hard to fill up such an easy template??

I think people who ignore Mutual TIE Request's complete vocabulary consists solely of grunts and screams, which is hard to translate into the template - as perfect as it is.

This is really the logical reason I see that they don't answer politely and promptly.

It's even worse w/ the new countdown. I just sit here, sweating, anxiously waiting for a response as the clock ticks ticks ticks closer to gametime. I can't work, I can't eat.

That's what they want. It's a sick, immoral, and unethical world they live in and you are merely their puppet in their master plan.

You think this is all well and good and whatnot, but I have a far more serious issue. Namely, what about the rising occurrences of not receiving a mutual TIE at all? I mean, this shameful act of disrespect should be dealt with before any thought is put into the scourge that is ignoring TIE requests. I have played 3 seasons now and have NEVER been offered amutual TIE. How am I supposed to enjoy the game, when the single most critical aspect of it has never been offered to me.

INJUSTICE!!!

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
