Galileo Teams: Collusion, yes or no?
Note: I am not trying to start a debate here -- there are other threads for that.
There are some greatly differing opinions on collusion (a.k.a. rigging matches to obtain ultra-high scores). I don't want our division to be torn apart by these differences in opinion. I would greatly prefer that we all come to understand each other so we can have an awesome three days of competition. In order to open that discussion, I am posting this poll so we can collect some data to find out how we are all approaching this issue. Good luck to everyone -- we have an awesome division! ![]() Added 03/03 ---> I had specifically requested that this not turn into a personal debate of opinions -- that has happened in many other threads. I intended this thread to be a statement of Team intent for Galileo teams only, not personal opinion. Please respect that. If you feel you must post your personal opinion and not your team's stance, then please do it elsewhere. If you are in another division, please read, but do not post. Thanks! Last edited by Aidan F.

For the record:
- I do not believe in collusion in this years game. - I will not participate in collusion. - the Buzz team does not support collusion. - the Buzz team will not participate in collusion We believe the game was designed to be a true competition between the two alliances. Otherwise they would not have described it as two alliances competing against each other in a match. If they wanted collusion, they would have refered to all four teams on the field as an alliance. ![]() |

Aidan, good points. Team 45 Agrees.
We will play to win, not collude. However, if our opponents wish to leave our stack alone, that would be swell. Heck, they're welcome to even join us on the ramp! Maybe I'm a bit naive, but I don't think that collusion will happen at the Championships. We've all learned alot since the first and second weeks of the regionals, when the majority of this was happening. Andy B. |

Team 814 has never even thought of it. We certainly do not support it. We have been to two regionals and we were never asked to participate in fixing a match. If you win, good job. If you lose, you did your best and probably had fun doing it.
I, personally, think it is an awful idea and whoever participates in it should be ashamed of themselves for sinking so low. Fortunately I don't know of any teams who have. |

Collusion is such a dirty word. It's really a form of teamwork!
REAL WORLD: Even Motorola and Nokia sometimes get together and agree ("collude") what's in the best interest of both companies, even though we're trying to kill each other in market share. There's times when we must help each other for both of us to succeed. Please, no hate mail, but what's the real issue? Why can't 4 teams agree (in the QP Rounds) to leave stacks alone as long as the rest of the match is a free-4-all? How about capping the SHU to 5? I like seeing high scores no matter how they happen. The game is more exciting when there are big scores. Ever cheer during a 0-0 baseball game? Not unless one pitcher has a no-hitter going. Is not All-Star NHL game fun to watch as the scores gets to 13-12 score? Sure its all-star and not playoff, but dont tell the players they dont care who wins. Also, it comes down to desparation. By Saturday, low seeded teams know they often get overlooked as alliance partners. If a captain isn't on a good scouting team he may (and this has happened) just pick the highest remaining seed not picked.

217 Will not Collude
I'm with Andy and Aidan on this one. The Thunderchickens will not collude, without exception.
I will say that our game plan hasn't changed in 3 regionals. Leave all stacks alone until you need to destroy them ... this only makes sense. -Paul |

Hey, I'm feeling left out. Wasn't Archimedes a friend of Gallileo?
Oh, right, wrong time period. Okay, I guess we'll have to do our own survey. (I messed up on the last survey I did on this subject, because I let people vote more than once. Then the number of votes didn't add up to the total. Still a good survey, but I like the results of this one better.) |

Team 662 will not collude. If both alliances use good strategy, then there should be no need for collusion.

*Note: This is only my opinion and not necessarily's 384's opinion*
I think collusion is a good idea from the stand-point of strategy, but not a good idea morally. People will hate me, but think of this, what if this years game is beyond just a 2 vs 2 match but a game where the 4 must work together to create a bigger score. I also think that this 'collusion is bad and we must kill it' idea is going to kill yourself. Your going to find that instead of having fun and enjoying the competition, you find yourself running around trying to enforce this idea. Have fun. If you don't support the idea, then fine. Don't do it. For the teams who do it, then let them. When they get to the finals then they will fall since they won't be able to collude. *Note: This is my opinion and not necessarily's 384's opinion* |

I never said I wanted to play the game like this, but simply to point this out. I'm also saing this will hurt Galaleo more than help them.

Team 68
Truck Town most defineatelly does not support collusion in any way, shape or form.
We will not request any agreements, and will not accept any. It is my team's belief that collusion is not "teamwork". rather, it is cheating. Get a high seed based on your robot's performance, and your team's ability to strategise alone, not working with your opponent. Good luck to everyone! |
