here's an idea i have for a better voting system:

a certain number of mods are appointed who are the ONLY people who vote on battles
each mod rates each verse from 1 to 10 (and includes an explanation)
highest average score (after all mods vote) takes the battle

obviously this wouldn't work in front lines- too many battles, and it would make the system less interesting

but it might be a good idea for an elite league, to eliminate cheating
it could also be useful in tournaments
