Ive tried it both ways.
with /say Potm it does that say->\say Potm
with just PoTM it does not trigger GC.
What is the command to trigger gc? My understand was it is /gc.
In the announce tab you can choose included in text and put anything you want in there, such as:
/gc I'm a dirty botter
If /gc is guildconnect, it should work.
If it doesn't, then someone needs to be more clear about guild connect. I have never used it, and won't install it just for this. Without a clear indictation of how gc works, I can't tell if it should work or not, shy of what I was told originally.
