Kozlodoev, you have come so far!

In retrospect, the TIE system was changed for the playoffs, you made GM (for a while at least), and Paula Abdul is still cute despite pushing 50. The ways of the world.

Oh, and finding this topic is in itself pretty impressive once again.

I agree, legal but unfair.

When people start arguing about mutual TIE agreement issues, it always makes me think of this: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory). It's open to debate whether TIE itself is fair or unfair, but any agreements like this are at your own risk.

The mutual TIEs are a nice idea but I don't expect BB to enforce it for us. Only thing I can tell you is I'd hire a mid season replacement, and anyone who backs out of a mutual tie shall be CT'd every time I face them in the next four seasons.
Let's praise those who rrespected and did well in mutual TIE games. One strategy we should all use is find active players, send them a message 12 to 24 hours before the TIE game and ask them to reply agreement again at least one hour before the game starts.

This is a good thought, since we have no intention of doing so.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Slogging through this post to see if it ends in a duel, I come across this post:


TIE is a stupid face, not critical for game play.
