I say, put your pants on and take it like a man. If the game system allows it, it is possible, therefore usable.
But then, the team I have submitted won't T16 Foul, nor would foul for the sole purpose of it (they would certainly foul healt dangerous players that are lying or else tactically to prevent a TD) This is for a specific Fluff reason. |

I consider such behaviour highly unethical.
BB is supposed to be a fun freetime activity, right? Not a way to piss off other people on purpose.
Anybody who's gonna start turn 16 fouling in hope of free wins in the future is not someone who I want as a league member. |
Yeah, you're right. Honestly, it's not something that I would do, as I do want my opponent to have fun. Heck, I even stopped stalling with bashy vs elves in [R] because it was quite frustrating for the elven coaches.
My comments were more an expression of my annoyance with people who get extremely worked up and self righteous over fouls to the point that they get rude - which ruins my fun. I also wanted to illustrate that this sort of thing is fairly easy to abuse - this is just one of the ways that people could take advantage of it. However, it probably won't make a whole lot of difference overall. Not terribly many people foul T16 every game, and not many people go nuts over a T16 foul. |

Although a bit late, I would like to chime in about this. I see no real need to foul in t16 unless it is tactical. I actually am of the thought that it hurts you to foul and kill a good player on another team. If you make it hard for your opponent to field a competitive team in the next game and they get steam rolled by a team in the next game, what advantage do you gain? Another team rolled up SPP's and further frustrated a coach. Of course...
It's just a game. I don't foul on T16, and I am a little annoyed when someone else does it, but I don't let it ruin my day. I just have fun and try to make the game fun for everyone involved. |

Some people enjoy a slightly more sadistic fun than others.  |
