I do believe that we can actually reason why we nominate the guilds, as that provides some insight in the thought process of the nomination and thus also exclude buddy nominations (unless the user gives a bullshit reason to cover their buddy nominations). The reasoning ensures that the contending teams will be rather diverse, as I doubt that guilds that have similar reasoning will be picked.

Regarding the users who do not want to be nominated, I believe they just can tell if they have no intention to participate? In addition, I believe that the users who nominate other users should see whether or not the creator of the guild is active anymore. It's not that difficult to solve.

There are also some issues with larger guilds where multiple users are involved, particularly Hydra Head, due to the limited amount of spots on the guild's team, but I suppose that's an issue to be dealt with on a later occasion.
