Originally, there was some disagreement between reviewers on this paper, but after rebuttal and careful discussion between reviewers and AC, all agree that the paper is interesting and has merit and could be proposed for acceptance as poster. One critical reviewer now recognises that the predictability idea is neat and the concern about positioning of the work has been largely clarified. Reviewers agree there is a contribution to joint exploration in MAS, which is one of the bottlenecks that deserve being addressed and discussed.
