Of course there's no real basis, but we could still discuss who we like or don't like, even if it's all gut-feeling. A good example would be that when I requested to be on the team, Xardob pointed out that I would be leader this round and that made him uncomfortable. That was a fair assertion and why I dropped that notion. I then decided I would like you on the team. I decided that based on my desire to have people with initiative on the team, you were the only one other than myself to specifically say, 'Put me on the team, Grimmend.'
I wasn't clarifying why I rejected, I was clarifying my dissatisfaction with the team and how the vote was handled. Sounds similar, I suppose, but I also wanted to see if Xardob would agree or disagree that that is why he rejected. Particulary I just didn't like that, from my mistaken perspective, Melter was put on the team at a point when we were unable to discuss it (due to no posting once the green text comes out) out of the blue.
I think that's true for all of us that we're playing this kinda like we'd play WW, but in that case, I don't buy into the 'Oh no, the sage died!' wolf-tell. Let's not get into the statistical likelihoods of that, though!
As for team rejection, and I say this from my extensive and comprehensive experience of kind of reading MaHuD's game and following Llandy's last, a whole two games, that team rejection isn't really a useful tell, because obviously both sides are going to have players they do and do not want on a team enough to issue a rejection. It's like saying that at the end of the a day of Werewolf, one person with a vote on the second most-voted lynch target is a wolf because they had different ideas as to how to save the town.
What I would say is a wolf-tell is rejecting and then refusing or simply ignoring queries as to why you did so.
Probably an overly long post for this discussion, but I'm okay with that. Please attack me as you see fit. (Sootshade's done worse, anyway.)
