Ah geez, didn't think this vote would get so contentious, given how Augustine's POV demonstrated how dangerous it would be to give her any more time to figure out how to fuck us over!
That said, when the opportunity to fight/attempt to diplomance Shard first came up, it was popular enough to have a significant chunk of the vote if I recall correctly, so I suppose we shouldn't be too surprised that a second shot at meeting her would have such backing. Shard is likely still powerful enough to potentially give out picks and drop some nice power ups, and we are approaching the pick desert, so there's that. Still, the biggest appeal to me of picking Shard at the time was the ability to conclude this arc very quickly, which is not the case here - doing this will only delay the conclusion further!
Anyway, while the vote purchase offers are actually a little tempting this time around, I think I'm still pretty firmly in the LIQUIDATE THE PINK BITCH camp. Do it for our boy Versch!
On a less related note: Thanks for the gold, mysterious benefactor!
