Well then why Joth over chairs? That doesn't make sense either. And I still don't see why you were seeking Galz's permission, especially if you're not townreading him.
Why do you keep saying I was asking for Galz's permission?? I asked the thread at large whether anyone was around and wanted to comment. Galz answered, so I asked him a question that I thought I could learn something from.
We could have lynched someone other than Joth at that point, but your baffling decision to defer to Galz—a not-super-townie read to you, if I understand you correctly—essentially ended that.
MiX claimed at #662, at which point the wagons looked like this, and I'd just posted intent:
Isis (1): EFHW
jotheonah (4): Swowl, Galzria, WestCoastDidds, MiX
MiX (6): Dylan32, LaLight, Robz888, scolapasta, jotheonah, Chairs
Chairs (2): SpaceAnemone, Isis
Hey, Mail-mi even posted an official vote count at #666, and then Didds came in and argued against MiX for several posts from #668, moving her vote to Chairs at #673. You were posting about Chairs at #674/#675. Galz chimed in at #676, and Chairs moved onto Joth at #677.
By #680, the wagons were essentially 4-all like this:
Isis (1): EFHW
jotheonah (4): Swowl, Galzria, MiX, Chairs
MiX (4): Dylan32, LaLight, scolapasta, jotheonah
Chairs (4): SpaceAnemone, Isis, WestCoastDidds, Robz888
Since Didds wouldn't vote MiX, we'd already run Chairs up once, and the strongest townread I had (Swowl) was on Joth, the logical thing was to move Joth when MiX seemed not be going through. You yourself were even making posts about scrambling to get an exile through! What wold you have had me do in that position?
