*blinks* I don't see how I implied that at all? I started off with direct mention of how it compares to USSJ, priming you to think about it in terms of USSJ, then kept up the comparisons, with the "crushing endurance penalties" bit being a clear indication I am indeed still talking about USSJ.

This is a genuine question, incidentally. Need to figure out what I did wrong to avoid it in the future, afterall.

Bah. Just continue having multiple Scions/Lords. Draw from non-direct sources, if necessary. 1 Lord and Scion, born from lineage, 1 Lord and Scion, selected from the population.
You're fine. More on my end than yours.

That would lead to people like Celeran being chosen if it is by popular choice. It might be better if, in the case the lords and ladies of Vegeta and Goku marry, their first two children were named Scion instead of just the eldest.

It's not eldest, the Seers do actually check if they're suitable. The process is:

1) Scion produces baby.
2) Seer checks baby after birth.
3) If baby is unsuitable, repeat from step 1.
4) If baby is suitable, Scion becomes Lord/Lady, baby becomes new Scion.

Just extend that to other people.

They do check but that is mostly a formality to see if there is nothing too bad (like a disease that would stop them from fighting). The whole thing with our Scionship in which they saw something significant is the exception rather than the rule.

The criteria by which the Seers judge Scions is a mystery reserved only for sitting Ladies and Lords, but it certainly is not simply a physical suitability check.
 
I will now be threadmarking the first post to occur after the vote opens, so that the tally program has one to find. Makes it easier on myself. I'll delete it once the vote closes.

Here's the tally as it stands. This is post-merging.

Could the people voting for chatting about the Sealing be a bit more specific? I can work with it as it stands, but there are some votes which cover a particular element of the Sealing in particular, and if you consolidate some of them promise to be competitive for the top three spots.
 
I'd like to argue strongly for " [] Chat (What happened that night) "

Because frankly, we need to know that.

We can talk to Jaffur about Golden Ape in the third update, hopefully- in exchange, maybe he can give us some pointers on Jaffur Style?

I thought his mom removed his memories of what happened that night... if by that night you mean the one where his mom used the seal on Assgeta and tried to use it on him only to get a fist full of nope.
We have only Dandeer's word for that, and we know Dandeer was misleading Berra about something during that conversation.

Aside from the possibility of Dandeer telling lies, which would certainly explain Jaffur's ferocious resistance the next day (since he'd know a lot more about what happened)...

Even if Jaffur remembers only fragments, or if he saw or heard something other than the part Dandeer erased, we need to know.
