vote: swan
I don’t believe Town!swan honestly comes in from being away, reads/gets caught up, evaluates the wagons, the players & the votes, and concludes he wants to lynch MiX.
Reasons: Swan should’ve noted that my intent to hammer, while at L-2, marked the 8th person willing to lynch MiX. Then Joth, ADK & I* leave the wagon, where we remain when Swan puts MiX back to L-2. With us three included back, that’s now 10 showing willingness to lynch MiX. The players that do not fall into that group:
Faust, EFHW, e - all three of whom have defended MiX to some degree.
Shraeye - who’s stated suspicion of MiX
Gkrieg - V/LA
MiX - obviously
Now, that doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room to nail the scum team, but Swan seems entirely unfazed. I’m just not buying it.
What I DO see as more likely is one of the following:
Scum!Swan is partners with Scum!MiX. He’s waited for a cycling of MiX’s wagon and decided to put the pressure back on in the hopes that somebody draws the exact analysis I did above, and uses that to derail the MiX wagon entirely.
Or
Scum!Swan is partners with Scum!e, recognizes that we’re plurality lynch, and wants to keep the MiX wagon high in the hopes of either getting MiX lynched flat out, or eventually by plurality.

Both of the above make more sense to me than town!swan coming in when & where he did to vote MiX.
