i was talking to people and some suggestions we had was:
have 1 or 2 volunteer artists do the round, the participants of that round just write the script... or RP, RPs can be used as scripts, the current format does give it a "Drawn Together" look but the styles clash too much, its better to have an artist try to imitate the comic's styles than for the comic authors themselves doing it
as of now, the list of fighters is enough, it is better to have a seasonal time to open the sign up sheets again
Have a discord to keep people updated, a lot like the reason Marius bailed is because we are all kept in the dark when we should be getting informed on the process or can help if help is needed
not pressuring you to do anything but these are suggestions
