yeah, I'm not going to play mind games with companies. I only apply to positions for which I am qualified and actually interested in having for at least two years. I don't do the 'multiple companies/competing offers' thing as I already know the value of my time and attention.

I’m not following your logic here. How does driving a bidding war constitute “mind games”? How does your own internal sense of value affect the offers you get? This is just Negotiation 101.
