This is actually a pretty genius idea for a way to solve development disputes.
-Would give Planetwars a great sense of purpose, since both factions would be fighting for something they believe in, and the result of the PW round would have consequences.
-It'd be democratic, because the more popular alternative would attract more players.
-It'd also weigh the opinion of more experienced players, since the faction they join would have a higher chance to win.
This is what ZK has been looking for for all these years.
