I did make myself read the first 40ish pages before bed.
I thought Fuji and Gram looked off.
Ultra reminded me a little of last game.
I thought Drago, Pero, and Cal looked Town. I thought Flower looked scum until the end and then she started to look more Town. Pot very slight town.
I read Ekko/Ratchet and I think everything Ratchet said was pretty much right. I also noticed Ekko lying about what started his Ratchet scum read. He said he scum read Ratchet 2 pages in originally and then said this:
i cannot have came in with a conclusion because before that post i did not display any actual intentionual scum read of u.
Which backs up what Ratchet was saying that Ekko already had Ratchet as scum and retroactively came up with a reason why.
I’m still *mostly* null on both. Ekko has been wrong/saying a lot of things that don’t make sense but I associate that more with Town Ekko. The hang up for me with Ekko is it doesn’t actually feel to me like he’s as convinced Ratchet is scum as he says it is. He feels fairly hollow to me.
I’ve agreed with Ratchet but I can see him as scum sitting here all day and picking Ekko apart in the logic department while still being scum. He’s a null for me.
When they argue like this they’re rarely both Town. If I had to lynch one of them it would be Ekko for the inauthentic feeling strength of his read. I associate a deferent energy to him when he’s sure he’s caught scum than I picked up here.
