@BCTheEntityPersonally, I want to avoid anything based on writing ability, because that just seems wrong and insulting, to tell someone their character lost because their writing wasn't good enough. I also proposed a method where the two participants in a match, as well as myself, would converse to reach an agreement on the final outcome of the match, based on character abilities, however people seemed to disagree with that idea. If you or anyone else can come up with another alternative, and enough people agree to it, I'm fine using that, but until then, the random outcome seems to be the most-favored method of doing the tournament.
