That´s what I tried to figure out. You know that something has to happen to get any infos for the game to progress. Now, what do you say about the wagon building up on you? I already mentioned that it feels like a trap to me.
Ekko was in a heated discussion against Orwellian before you were brought up as a wagon but suddenly this discussion stopped as you became the main topic. Ekko only re-entered the thread after I had pointed out his sudden disappearance. To me it looks like that he decided to try holding back and just let your lynch happen instead of him getting more attention on himself than he already had.
Also, I can totally see Ekko asking in scum chat "Hey guys, what´s town colour again? I forgot lol"
