It does not seem reasonable to ask for that.

Doesn't seem to be.
Well you see, it's a normal thing to do IU since Jiraiya did it, and we all know what a normal, well adjusted, stand-up member of society he was.

Suggestion:
Since Yūma is actually pretty close, we may be able to signal him with loud noises. He's currently heading away from us and getting him to stop moving (or even change direction towards us!) might make a considerable difference in how long it takes to reach him.
Setting off Banshees would be a terrible idea, but we have some scaled down Explosive Training Tags. Seems like a good middle ground in terms of loudness.

- Yes.
Hazou's sparred with enough people that he would have seen one of them by now.

Y'all, with all due respect: the fuck?
Why are we marking meme votes as genuine votes? The QMs will count them as real votes, and the world will (rightfully) sneer at Hazou for being an idiot. Or worse.
Mark them as [jk] at least. -.-'

Sensible options are still currently leading at least, but it's by a thin margin.
Remember guys, we're gonna have to live with this for the rest of the quest. It will stop being funny, and then we'll have hundreds of chapters to awkwardly regret choosing a stupid name. Vote for what you think you will actually appreciate having 100 chapters down the line, because that's what you're voting for.

- I don't believe those are actual binding votes. I think this is basically just a pool @Inferno Vulpix set up, no?
- What exact grave consequences would result from Hazou deciding to name the discipline something silly? Especially since we're currently the only person who even knows of it? And, again, the main "meme vote" (which I disagree is actually a "meme vote") is literally something Jiraiya did.
- We're currently the only person who even knows of the discipline, we're not writing this name into the fabric of reality, and there'll be numerous opportunities to change our mind if e. g. Mari says the name is bad.
Wait what, we will? Why? How's that supposed to work?

This is 100% correct. If these votes win then Hazō is going to literally and seriously have the following conversation at some point:
PersonA: What's that?
Hazō: Oh, that's an Explosive Epic Seal of Awesomeness With A Really Awesome Name That You Have To Say All Of Every Time Or It Won't Work And Also I'll Punch You In The Face, This Means You, Jiraiya.
PersonA: And that one?
Hazō: Oh, that's our first attempt at a Rift Opener Epic Seal of Awesomeness With A Really Awesome Name That You Have To Say All Of Every Time Or It Won't Work And Also I'll Punch You In The Face, This Means You, Jiraiya.
PersonA: Uh...are you feeling okay, Hazō? This joke was funny when Jiraiya did it once, but it seems a little...weird for you to mock the dead like this.
Hazō: What are you talking about? It's not a joke, that's the actual name. 'Seals' are made with paper and ink. When you use chakrastone substrate and Earthshaping it's an 'Epic Seal of Awesomeness With A Really Awesome Name That You Have To Say All Of Every Time Or It Won't Work And Also I'll Punch You In The Face, This Means You, Jiraiya.'
Persona: Yeah, we're not calling them that. We'll call them runes. Or maybe sigils. Glyphs? Lithoseals? I dunno, literally anything except that stupid name you came up with.

I'm not sure how the other QMs have been understanding it, but my understanding was that the players were voting to see what Hazō would call these things and that yes, the vote would be binding. It's possible that @Velorien or @Paperclipped disagree...?

... I complain that this way of handling it makes no sense from my perspective. Hazou isn't a robot and the MfD world isn't some video game with hard-coded fields for "discipline name". Surely even if Hazou decides to be silly and make that its "proper, official" name, he and everyone else will eventually settle on some shorter nickname?
But fine, I'll go unvote the mouthfuls. I will not unvote "these things".

Reputational damage? Doing something obviously dumb makes us look dumb.
Jiraiya named a single seal and it might not have been a joke because sealing is weird. We know that this would just be for the memes.
We could also write obviously dumb plans that Mari would veto. But the implicit agreement we have with the QMs is to write and vote earnestly and breaking that agreement for no actual reason seems more than a little inconsiderate.
