Rules right now have nothing to prevent lazy copying votes by team members. The Team Votes section should be updated to require each player to give reasons for vote.
Not really, Brawl voting should be updated so that it doesn't depend on Brawler votes.
There are what, 2-3 community voters per round? That feels absurdly low. What makes it worse is that my singular vote is worth any three community votes put together, because I'm the only one in my team that voted. Voting definitely needs an overhaul, and I do agree that giving valid reasons is important-- but I think it any changes should go in the opposite direction-- make it easier to vote. Or at least incentivize it, rather than dis-incentivizing it. Ideally, we'd be able to have votes without Brawlers, but given the inactivity even from Brawlers, that doesn't seem quite feasible.
One option is a small modification to the current system-- only allow votes for other teams, but give some sort of advantage or statistic for those votes. E.g I vote for GP in 5 tasks and AB in one, and that gives LoS +6 Brawl Reputation, 1 per each task voted on per player. The Team with the most reputation in a given round gets a small bonus or something. Or heck, it could even be +1 point per full set of votes, forget who had the most. Does that give teams with more active players an advantage? Alright, then cap it to the smallest team's maximum voting potential or something. Another option could even have teams specify who is active and inactive, and base the system around that.
Just throwing ideas out.
