Objections

    From 1 comment
    • I would add a vote system to decide who has won, and set the fights with a limited time like 5 minutes.

Questions

  • How do the stickers work

    From 2 comments
    • Needs a time suck warning :) Also, what/how do I use the stickers? Do I give them to other people I am watching fight?
