After hearing selections in Ventura, I feel the need to reignite this thread. I cringe every time I hear it. Props to 973 for doing it right.

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

Ah, old threads. Why cant we just leave them be?


So in 2014 we accepted our invite at the EWU district event by saying "we gratefully accept." Got some laughs out of that.

Ill try to be more tact once I get that #blue #banner

How 'bout what we did:

"Not to sound old-fashioned, but tote-ally."

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

We simply said "Heck Yeah!" It was hilarious to say the least.

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

We usually "humbly accept," however this year we may "gleefully and gratefully accept," if given the opportunity.

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

I usually say "let's krawl together".. since our team is called KnightKrawler. :D

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

Anyone going to accept in period language appropriate for Stronghold? Extra credit for anyone who actually accepts in Middle English or Middle French.

wé cwémlic gecéosan!

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

Fun fact if you get onto the field doing backflips and twists and such you can "Gracefully Accept"
I know its not the same but its close...

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

Our team usually "accepts your gracious offer"

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

This sentence really doesn't make sense to me. There is nothing gracious about team A offering team B an invitation to join their alliance. If I showed someone my NCAA bracket with team X winning it all, it would be nonsensical for them to say "how gracious of you for selecting team X."

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

Thats totally different. Calling an offer gracious is correct. They dont have to give you that offer.

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

It certainly doesn't make sense if you consider yourself entitled to a spot on that alliance.

Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept
 

But they have to give someone the offer, just like my NCAA bracket has to have a winner.

EDIT: I really should have just stayed out of this conversation, I truly care very little about how teams accept invitations.
