What are the ethics on timebanking obviously to stall?

I'm at a table in SCOOP event 4 medium $162 turbo and the timebanks are six minutes. There are 250 ppl left and we're in the money but ppl are timing down the whole way. We have actually missed entire level considering the time banks longer than the levels. Thoughts?

when people stall for no good reason its retarded and annoying but i wouldnt say its unethical

its slightly unorthodox to have timebanks that last an entire blind level though... i was immensely annoyed (at stars) in the scoop because of this... dont think there are ethics about it...

i'm kinda sick of ethics talk. the site sets up rules for a reason and they should be the guidelines we follow.

it is unethical, but it is not against any rules, and it can be part of the overall strategy, one may or may not agree with it, but there is nothing do to...

I think you are confusing ethics with etiquette.

Mr. Wizayne, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it.
