Lol yes I know about that sentence I even translated it hehe.
But when teams TIE a lot you will mainly see "same effort level", so you don't know wether it was normal-normal or tie-tie (or CT-CT), only if you played that match. Then if I have 12 enthusiasm and I play normal and the other team plays TIE again, my ratings are huge and the sentence is "put more into the game than". It's possible to think that I played CT there, because a normal with 10-12 boosts your ratings a lot comparing to a TIE with 8-9.

In my league there are not that much teams yet who manage their enthusiasm, as you see. But in leagues with better managers and in NT's you will see the sentence "same effort level" more than in my league. Now you know that I TIE'd most of the time because it's almost impossible that 4 teams in a row played CT vs my team, but when all played TIE, you wouldn't have known wether I played normal or TIE.

i'll take a look at the two examples, and the code. but when you CT, do you not see your enthusiasm go down? if you aren't seeing CT affecting your own enthusiasm i'd be concerned, but I think that is working as designed.. and so i'm tending to think that it is simply an issue of you don't actually knowing what is going on with the CT/TIE decisions in games that are not your own.... but again.. i'll take a closer look when i have more time.

I think the point is that you can only really know for sure what the other team played if you are one of the teams playing because you know what you went.

It is very unlikely consecutive CTs would be successful I CTed my cup tournament and then lost a few games afterward but playing TIE.

Keeping good team form and high enthusiasm is a very good strategy for winning. But neither are going to be reflected in the ratings.

There is no "luck buildup" as far as I know or have ever experienced.

Playing CT temporarily boosts a teams effectiveness. The following game the team will lose effectiveness. The level of boost to their effectiveness and the drop is based on the level of enthusiasm.

There is no cumulative effect of CTs. That would be silly. I am sure the games are correct. If anyone experiences anything in their own team that seems to backup this "luck" theory then come back with it.

The random factor from what I know of the BB's thinking is the random factor of individual player performance in a particular day.

I know they did change how enthusiasm effects the GE and I will bring it to their attention if someone can report that they are getting successful wins from several CTs in a row.

After 1 CT your ability to win the next game playing CT should be greatly diminished.

After 2 or 3 CT matches it should be basically impossible unless the other team has the same enthusiasm as you (1)

well.. after 2/3 CT your enthusiasm is low, and that's why you should have a hard time winning. The "effect" of CTing isn't any different though.
