Do we have to vote for NPC fights as well?

You can also encounter your opponents and interact with them if you so choose, but before you actually start a fight (which will follow the usual format, though there won't be any voting, and everyone will just win their three rounds, but please try to do a good job anyway as your work will help inform others of your characters' abilities and behavior later

No, no voting, though I do hope all of you will give your NPC opponents a proper send-off.
