Ok so I did a quick reread.
The case on MiX is ... that he said one really weird thing about quickhammers. Like really weird. And I did lay out a scum narrative for why he would have said it -- that he wanted to distance himself from the pubby wagon but leave himself room to hammer if need be. It felt like how clever scum might respond to a rapidly building town wagon: stoke it while staying off of it.
So, ok, that was a decent case and I feel fine about voting based on it. But then like a lot of people jumped onto the wagon and very few of them expressed any reasons beyond that one post. Since then, MiX has been ... null? Like not supertownie but also not super scummy.
And then there's the response to the MiX wagon. No one has seemed like they're overtly trying to stop it, but people like faust have been trying to make another wagon take off for some vague reason? Actually if MiX is scum, faust looks like a likely partner.
So yeah, on reread, this feels like a better-than-average day 1 case. I'm just hesitant because I've been absolutely convinced of Mix's scumminess before and been super wrong. But in those cases, I haven't had this much support. Which is both encouraging and discouraging. Sigh.
The other thing is, I didn't see a great alternative in my reread. I'm pretty wary of Galzria, because he hasn't posted much and the posts he's made have been pretty easy, plus there was that one that seemed to be encouraging dangerous claiming. But MiX's flip will give more info about Galz than vice versa.
Anyway, I'm back on
vote: MiX which I guess is still L-2
Vote: Joth
If there's anything to this, let me know and I'll try to address. Otherwise, cool story bro.
