There were better, and also much fairer ways to do things.
BBR never cared about making the game better. I was back there for 3 years. They constantly downvoted any ruleset changes that they implied would be better, then, after successfully downvoting any changes I tried to make like lengthened timer, and reduced stages, they then complain how good MK is like that. I'm like, well stop downvoting it (but I realize their true intentions, so I know that won't happen) and they never respond with anything good. But votes were all that mattered, which is why it's such a bad system.
