Given that I was recently in a situation where I should have exercised retreat earlier, I will also be voting no. (For the reference, I presently have a single point of untapped influence.)

Are we doing this Speaker last but otherwise out of turn, as usual? If so, the Federation casts its single, piddly vote AGAINST.

The L1Z1X abstain, as usual.

For: 0
Against: 14

And really, unless someone wants to flip-flop on their promises above, we could probably call it now.

Space pirates aren't really big on this whole "fighting with honor" thing, so I have three votes against.

I'm pretty sure that even if Googleshng decides to swap sides (which I don't think he will, those brains are good people), his 9 plus other people's influence isn't enough to sway the vote. We can still run away like children after a fight if we wish.
