Don't have any scum reads yet, but I'm leaning town toward Sword.
I feel like Hatz' initial three votes was a sort of impulse thing and he's been defending his decision since. Only reason for this though is because it seems like something I would have accidentally done. I can see both sides of the argument between FF and Hatz though, though I ultimately think FF is in the right in this case.
