TL Chess Match 4 - Page 14

It's not the opening with which I'm most familiar, but I enjoy aggressive play, and would love for us to go with some kind of gambit that would lead into an exciting midgame.

Let's start some pressure.

If I can't have my 1. d4, then we might as well as make it interesting right from the start.

Just as with e4, I believe that our strength in this game is our numbers and we should preserve this strength by playing the most standard moves possible as to not alienate any of our own team

I like the idea of a more agressive game.

I agree basically what wizard said here, we need to do stuff that everyone knows

Going King's Gambit usually leads to equality against an opponent who knows the theory. Plus, somewhat counterintuitively, more aggressive looking lines often lead to drawish positions because they're been analyzed to death and a single misstep can mean disaster, so there isn't as much room for creativity.

Ruy Lopez is one of the most complex openings and would be extremely instructive. Even the more boring lines like the Berlin Wall lead to very complex queenless endgames.
