How about fouling T16 when you've already won? 
p.s. is it inevitable that nearly every tactic-based thread ends up being about fouling? It's like the failed apoth of threads I guess:
(1) Topicpothecary has failed! Your Thread is now about Fouling.

It´s because lots of people respond with fouling, when they face a tactic they can´t cope with. |

 Okay so T16 fouling is petty revenge, and doesn't make the game more enjoyable for either player. I'll slap my own wrists. Don't do it again you naughty boy
However it really was borne from frustration of seeing such a negative approach to the game. I reckon my opponent probably had about a 50/50 chance of getting a winner (he might have not considered the chance so high, but he could theoretically score without GFIs and without leaving the ball carrier unprotected too).
The defeatism that is inherent in such an approach I don't understand. Its a game, not RL.
Its not about the odds of victory or defeat - its about risk/reward ratios. The advantages of winning are greater than the disadvantage of losing (-1 on FF, vs +1 on FF & +1 winnings, also faction games have a 3:1 ratio of scores too) so play should reflect that. |
