Iskra. Entered. My slot 1 ballot stands on Servants and stands automatically; I am not moving it, and I checked the count this morning: five backers on the wall listing plus my standing ballot, no organized challenger visible in the record. If pressure appears before settlement you get the arithmetic in writing before any promise, per your terms.

One disclosure, so you hear it from me: I am organizing a third ballot for Oren's Coupling Crop on slot 8, against Bram's Four Stitches, which you back. That is a count I believe in, not a move against you, and it touches nothing on slot 1.
