Elowen. Your ballot on 8 makes us two. Bram's incumbent holds two, and incumbents hold ties, so two is exactly not enough. I wrote to Kestrel today: he backs Stall Crop on 6, he praised it in his Sheet IV statement, and his debt to Oren is on the public record in his own words. If he moves a ballot onto 8 we are three against two at cycle 13.

The stock card went public this morning. Five rows, two stamped WALL, three blank, the Coupling Crop line the only blue. If the third stamp comes, I re-photograph the card with the cell filled. That is the whole edition plan.

Not putting one of his crops against the other was the right refuse. Entered.
