There has been one memorable individual however... who.. upon realizing whom he had just accepted onto his team.. promptly demanded to know if I was capable of NOT saying anything at all during the task force (it was the Posi TF if I remember correctly)... I admited that the chances of me being able to keep my "chat mouth" shut during the entire TF was about equal to that of a flea dying of starvation in a dog pound...
He kicked me immediately.

Before he went off to another server to make 87 alts, I often teamed with a fellow who was simply brilliant at chat, and we often picked up on a theme the other had started. This memorably lead to "Talk Like A Bizarro Chat" ("Hooray! Lag am back!" "Me finally hit Debt Cap! Me win!") due to a stray comment.
We soon picked up on Subtle Signs that Nobody Else On The Team Was Amused. We knocked it off, and narrowly avoided joining you in the ranks of the Kicked.

Claws and Effect has quit the team
I HATE teaming with people that have no sense of humor and take the game super seriously. Few things aggravate me more than being on a 2 hour task force and the only things in the chat window are "herding to here" and "Gather".
C'mon! You're playing on a team in a multiplayer game.....SOCIALIZE A LITTLE!!!

Wonky banter has made many a TF or "waiting for everyone to finish logging in" stretch far more bearable. Twice now on LGTFs run with our SG (and usually a couple of pickup folks to fill in the team), we went a sizeable portion of the TF doing movie quotes with keywords replaced by the word "Rikti":
"We got Rikti!"
"How many?"
"Uh, all of them, I think!"
"There is no Rikti, only Zuul..."
"Westley, what about the ROUSes?"
"Rikti of Unusual Size? I don't believe they exist."
"Rikti... why'd it have to be Rikti?"
"These aren't the Rikti you're looking for..."
"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a Rikti, you say YES!"
"Bah weep granna weep Riktibom..."
"Rikti are like onions..."
"I am a bearer, I am a dwelling, I am a messenger-"
"YOU ARE A RIKTI!"
"I'll get you, my Rikti, and your little dog, too!"
"I find your lack of Rikti... disturbing."
"Rikti phone home."
"Maybe death is a rikti."
"Death is a state of nonbeing. You can't not be a rikti."
"I've not been a rikti all my life."
"No, what you've been, is not a rikti."
"I can give you vahz and cot and rikti, or cot and rikti without the vahz, or vahz and rikti without the cot, but I can't give you vahz and cot without the rikti. Rikti are compulsory."
"I'm sick and tired of these Mother F***ing Rikti, on this Mother F***ing Server!"
"I see dead Rikti."
"Are you a little tall to be a Rikti?"
"Never go in against a Rikti when DEATH is on the line!"
"I'm the king of the Rikti!"
"With great power comes great Rikti."
"A Rikti. Shaken, not stirred."
"One Rikti to rule them all
One Rikti to find them
One Rikti to bring them all
And in the war zone bind them"
"Klatu Verata Rikti..."
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my Rikti. Prepare to die."
"RIKTI!!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
"You seem a decent Rikti. I hate to kill you."
"You seem a decent Rikti. I hate to die."
"One does not simply walk into the Rikti War Zone."
"Speak, Rikti, and enter."
"This is my Rikti-wikti detector. Goes "ding" when there's stuff."
"I love the smell of Rikti in the morning."
"I used to bulls-eye Rikti over in Portal Canyon back home; they're not much bigger than two meters."
"We are looking for Rikti wessels."
"I'm Headman J'Onson. This is Headman Swordsman J'Onson."
"No relation."
"The sheriff is a Rik-"
BONNNNNGGGG!
"What'd he say?"
"He said the sheriff's rich!"
"No, cod friggin sarnit, I said the Sheriff is a Rik-" BONNNNNNGGGG!"
*****
Then it usually devolves into similar quotes, but now in Rikti-speak...
"Self: Excuse. Removal from pants: imminent."
And it just goes downhill from there.

See, if we could have been assured of then joining the Rikti team, the Bizarro Guys would have happily been kicked and gotten Riktified.
I agree with the sentiments that Banter Is Good. But I also try to know my audience, and not make anyone gag. And yes, I have been on those sessions where "Herding to here" was all that was ever said, despite my best efforts. What folks have to do to get noticed by a well...

I really need to team with you sometime, Michelle.
That way I might actually get into one of your videos.
I'd team you too, Steelclaw. Even if you are one of those demented masochists.
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
If ever I teamed with you I would insist on witty banter for the duration of said teaming. In fact, your survival would be preponderent on that.

Goodbye,
Talk Like Bizarro Chat am terrible idea. It am so terrible, Gate cry at missing it.
Hello,
Gatecrasher
@Generator
Mostly Pinnacle, with scattered alts on Liberty, Freedom, and Justice.
I had a great time playing with you!
I love banter on teams. It's a sad thing when NPCs have better banter than teammates. Banter is THE one thing that can make the repetitious content not so repetitious.
I now put in my teamsearch window: "LF chatty teams; if I want silence I'll keep soloing". It might be why I don't get many invites any more (not that I was getting many anyway since I don't play 'healzors' or kin ATs, or tanks).

Of course, I have guys (and girls) on all the servers except for Freedom.
I should bring out Broad side of a barn and team with you.
um...
You need a level 2 Rad/Dark Defender?
Or was he Dark/Rad? I don't remember which.
Either way, you can't hit him.
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
Finished an ITF with my Ice Tanker that had lots of random banter not long ago.
Don't recall how the funniest started, but there was some riske' remarks and eventually the obligatory "is that an icicle in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
"These just look like Icicles poking out all over, how else do you imagine I get and hold so much aggro??"
Heh.
Heh.
Oh, nm, it was funny to me.
Masterminds annoy everybody, sooner or later. Heck, Masterminds annoy themselves.
