I'm not a fan of mutual TIE agreements. It is not sportsman like. It would be like if the Seahawks and 49ers agreed on no blitzing and they could only rush 3 defenders at a time.

I think each team should employ the strategy that puts them in the best position to be successful for the season.

Asking for a mutual TIE means to me that you don't have the confidence in your team to be successful on its own but you don't want to have to make the bold commitment to try to be successful.

Please do not ask me for Mutual TIE.

Sigh...
I had no idea that this would fire you up. I apologise for asking for one. Wouldn't responding with "Cheers man, but I'm not a fan of TIE agreements" have been easier, rather than ignoring the initial request, then soapboxing in the forums?

You're not a fan of mutual TIE agreements - that is entirely your prerogative. But please don't impose your definitions of *success* and *sportsmanship* on other teams (which is what you're insinuating here - intentional or not). I believe that for long term success, *training* and *maintaining enthusiasm* are important too. Additionally, I'm trying to be even MORE sporting: I am in a training season... and enjoying a pretty good cup run, and I'm aware that there are other teams that have different focuses within the JBBL. Some are in B3, some are trying to win JBBL this season - for them, the opportunity to conserve Enth is vital. Real world analogies fall somewhat flat for me, as it's - patently - not the real world. This is merely entertainment, and on top of that it's a pretty small community. You could chill a bit...

I think you're overreacting here. Just saying that I don't do Mutual TIE so letting everyone know that they don't need to ask me for one.

Well... *someone* is overreacting a tinsy bit.

Dude, didn't need the new thread. Everyone who reads this, would have read a post in the S26 thread.

Anyway... you got your point across: rest assured, I'll NEVER ask you again.
