Re: Elitist Teams
Sometimes, peoples' passion comes out as aggressive -- they often don't realize how aggressive and boorish they're being, and while that doesn't make it excusable it at least can be understandable. That's one reason why it's important to have a drive coach (whether student or mentor) who is confident enough to gently but firmly call them on it -- and mention it to their mentors later.
On the flip side, if you get chosen for an alliance it's because the alliance captain has a plan, and they've chosen you to fill a particular role in that plan. In that situation I think it's important to keep in mind that they're the captain by right of placement, and you've got a duty to inform their plan but ultimately abide by it.
