I don't know what you're expecting me to say here Ratchet. I was active the first day phase and contributing. I was able to, through my ability, discern that the results could be tampered with for investigative roles, thus a cop clear is not a true clear.
I thought Melkor was suspicious but I wasn't 100% on him, hence voting for Alyssa. I didn't realize when I voted to side with her that the duel was not a group consensus driven one with the majority agreeing on the target, i.e. it smells a little fishy. I can still side with her to clear my suspicions on Melkor's slot and suggest either her, you or Ekko as a viable target for today's lynch.
It does not mean that I'm going to be able to sway enough people to believe that you, Ratchet, would be the best option today.
So, I can settle for second best, which is either Ekko or Alyssa. Since this is plurality, I'll try to side with whichever of those two are closest.
