Smokeless Fire
I like how they will take votes from the top placers - so it is obviously not just "the top place" that matters. I'm certain there will be some seniority but 1 person shouldn't be able to taint a whole clan out of spite.
This fiction is great! I really wonder whether I would follow my first impulse to keep Meishodo and learn about it, if only to control and contain it - or whether it really does need to be banned. If you ban it, then you lose control over it. It will continue in the shadows either way...
