Poison is the tool of a coward. The force is the tool of the traitor.
The mandalorian faction staff may rally and chose an ooc mand'alor, but its my duty to remain in character. It may not be possible, but it is tradition to rally clans in opposition. In kyrtsad, its a challenge to the death, but that'd require him to view him with any sort of legitimacy. It would be just as easy to claim the position of overlord. There are many ways around the issue. I created a death watch faction. The character I've made is not cannon fodder, but legitimately following the philosophy.
Mandalorians have always felt the use of the force as taboo. Those carrying lightsabers and such that were not taken as trophies are violating cin vhetin. Even if the mandalorian faction proclaims a mandalore, the kyrtsad don't necessarily recognize him, if he doesn't hold those extremely traditionalist values.
