I know getting your sponsers in there is important, but when your the only team to do it, it gets a bit showie, its like turning into a nascar after race interview.

Maybe you should fork out the tens-of-thousands of dollars it takes for the team to get the chance to accept an alliance. You could then be annoyed that they didn't even bother to mention it.

"ZERO" (think any base you want)

I think everyone in Chesapeake was enjoyed it when one team (888?) accepted with a "let's rock!"

My favorite from NYC-

“Oh my gosh…. Oh my gosh…. Team?… team?… ah... What is our team number?”

"Okay everyone, the winning numbers in tonight's Powerball lottery are X...[pause] X... [longer pause] X!"

(If the team number is four digits long you'd need to add another X)

:Sigh: No one can take a joke any more. My main point was that if every team did what that a few teams did during alliance selection, then it starts getting a bit silly, a bit like some of the suggestions in this thread... "Gitrdone" lol. But this is my opinion; I'm more than willing to get flamed for it.
But tell me this, What about those teams who DON'T get that chance to say those magic words of "We accept"?? Are our sponsors any less special then those who do get the chance? is any sponsor really going to make a hill of bens about not getting mentioned during alliance selection if other teams aren’t mentioning there sponsors?

Can't a team be...'honored to accept'?
