from my memory, i really wasn't trying to defend him lol. you asked if i was reading him townie now, then i answered, then you pressed again, and i answered again. i didnt really discourage votes on him or anything.
then tpein started trying to claim him for arya and i repeatedly said not to do that and him being arya means nothing, which again doesn't make sense to do if he's my teammates and i want people to believe that our fakes are actually town. there's no positive value to be gained from that.
ratchet has seem hyper focused on certain players. i dont recall too much from him, but i do think he and ekko are not aligned at least. i had a weak town lean on him from day 1, ill need to revisit to see as to why.
