Unhappy
We on 229 always play it smart. We will go into each match and do what is best to achieve the win.

Those that have worked with us in the past, know we would never agree to somethign like this, simply because it lowers the amount of strategic options we have.

For every move, there is a counter move. Why agree to not use certain counter-moves? We'll let other stacks stand, if it's in our best interest to do so. Otherwise.... timmmmmmmmmmber.

Why would we make our opponents agree to leave our stacks alone? If we need them up, we will defend them. If we get beaten... at least we tried our hardest, and lost fair and square.

We play to win, not to seed.
Sorry to all those who disagree with this philosophy, but I believe that if your not at least playing to win, your not really playing.
