Funny that, because i only joined for xp the last BA and never revived but i got knocked out several times so i think you might be wrong in saying that.
You don't revive during the Brawl phase unless you choose to do so. Unconscious participants are revived at the start of Sudden Death.
Not wrong, you can only get knocked out 2 times if don't play. 1 time in brawl phase and 1 time in sudden death.
I don't understand then because i didn't revive (that i can remember) but i managed to be knoked out a couple of times. Might have been drunk at the time.
Counting down during brawl sounds like a great idea but then that would reduce activity even more since noone wouod revive once it got down to 20 left or so. Ive wanted a countdown since they changed it as well but thinking more on it, it has to stay the way it is or it would suck even more than it already does now
