It's a story, yeah, but I'm not sure if the damage it does to the Grindstone in general is worth it, not unless all of the people being put on the line as cheaters are fine with being mass-executed by the Overseers for their crimes.
No issues with the story. Large concerns with the fallout following it. I'd hate to see the Grindstone's reputation drop for a short-term payoff, you know?
Thanks for saying it like this, my tired brain at work was struggling to conceptualize the problem. The grindstone is advertised as not 'sport' but at the same time it has a following for a reason like any sport or competition. It is possible to have that ruined and maybe less show up overall. Who knows
