So if your goal is to have nice looking code and not to have good code...

It's not.

My goal is to have people on the team who really want to work as a team for the good of the team, not merely as a collection of individuals who happen to have similar jobs. If expressing yourself through your formatting is more important than writing clear code (and if you truly will not adapt to the team's guidelines about where to put your braces, why should we hope that you follow the important guidelines?), there are plenty of other places that will have you.
