Re: Use Of Punctuation In A Post And What Is Annoying or Confusing

Where it seems to have misfired:
During alliance selections the representative of the chosen team often states "Team <insert team number> graciously accepts."

Is it not more appropriate to say "Gratefully accepts"?

Saying "graciously accepts" makes it sound (to me) like saying "we condescend to allow you to pick our team and being polite will accept."

Being grateful to be picked is a better sentiment.
If you search, you will find other threads about this. Please confine any further discussion on "Gracious/Grateful" to them.
