Re: Alliance Invitation Phrase

Yeah, 95% of the teams will "Graciously Invite" or "Graciously Accept" and that's just emotionally painful to hear. Of course, those are likely the same people who think it's acceptable to scream "Robot" while moving a robot through the pits. My team and I came up with ways we wish teams would accept:

Walk slowly to the captain, and "Glacially Accept".
Dance onto the field like a ballerina, and "Gracefully Accept"
Run out to the captain and give 'em a big bear hug, and "Gratefully Accept."
Bounce out onto the field giggling and screeching and "Gleefully Accept"
Have glowsticks in your outfit and "Glowingly Accept"
I think the Dapper Dans (1801) have "Humbly accepted" before.

Things my teams has said:

"We've got your back!"
"We're with you all the way."
"Let's rock it" / "Let's Do this!"
"We accept."
