I think Nick proposed that as a joke. His "great suggestion Nick" at the end sounded like sarcasm to me.
No there were other factors there, Mainly players thinking that I was doing some bold move, Flower who had partnered up with Noctis was being suspected and they thought noctis could be scum too, and they tried hitting Noctis with every ability and it failed. We also had confirmation that our super kill on Noctis failed so Ekko could push that easier.
Here he's literally derailing the lynch off from Beky to Odd when TAC has more support and votes. I have no idea why Ekko would do that and bring more negative attention to himself. And on the off chance that he flips mafia here, it would implicate Beky automatically as well.
Ekko maybe chaotic, but as mafia he'd rather buss the teammate than bring the whole team down.
