Re: Coopertition - Not As Easy As It Looks!

No matter what you do strategically (and personally, I disagree with almost everything you posted, but people have already essentially said what I think)...

...you should never, EVER bully, manipulate, or slander another team for the sake of winning.

The issue here is bigger than just 'what is the intent of the co-opertition bridge'. When teams go around a regional talking trash about another team to get others to not cooperate with that other team? Disgusting. Keep it between your alliance. If you're not in the match, don't go telling the teams that ARE in it what to do.

Back to what Sean said...

How would YOU explain that behavior to your grandmother? "Yes, we won, Nana! But in order to do it, we had to go around convincing all the other teams not to play with this one team that was ranked higher, so that they couldn't pick this other team, so that we had a better chance at winning...."

I know my grandmother would call me a bully for that. And she didn't raise a bully.
