Alliance Invitation Phrase

Do yourself and everyone else a favor and skip proclaiming yourself "gracious" in any action. That's for others to determine.

Recognizing one or two MAJOR sponsors (in the form of "Team xxxx, backed by/powered by/along with/whatever you want...") seems to me to be extremely classy and very appropriate.

And most importantly, as always: have fun with it! You've earned that right by being picked.

At the Wisconsin Regional, 192 (GTR) accepted the Alliance #8 invitation "with the passion of 1000 burning suns". The alliance must have been agreed upon and rehearsed because the 2nd pick, 1675 (UPS), couldn't muster up 1000 burning suns but promised "to deliver". It was pretty awesome all around. The crowd loved it.
