Ekko's method of solving
I think he's just baiting for reactions toward possible theories (he knows to be improbable, hence the schrodinger's référence)
The chances of him getting a scum reaction is 50% possible, vice versa with a town reaction from his proposals/little theories
If he finds a reaction that suffices, he drops it, solidifies his read on that person
If the reaction doesn't impress him and leads him to questioning the logic behind his scenario, he's making mental notes to see which direction they'll wind up going
What this tells me is, not to discount him being possible scum (absolutely can be), is he's more likely town than not
I could be dead wrong, but him openly questioning - despite whatever conclusions he's drawing - nearly everyone including prime suspects he feels might be connected to Fang (he's tracing steps to the very beginning, puzzle solving and relying on older info)
It may be him just trying to detract from convos and an Ultra lynch (applies to anyone, really, I can't understand a distinct motive from certain players yet) but we shall see
His theories on scum tactics and method of play, specifically since Aurelian flipped scum, is a good indicator he's aware he has to think outside the box since Aurelian usually has a decent poker face
For instance, I don't buy for a second Aurelian just happened to get caught when he usually spends so much time as scum and town perfecting his next move
This is just an assumption, and only has bearing if we consider possible psychogical tactics that scum is using:
He's got to be coaching in the BG, making sure his mates are interacting with certain posters in a specific way. That either means he's going to try to appeal to pathos (me) or ethos (Ratchet.)
Maybe as a tactic there's another experienced played coaching players that are coasters and doing most if not all the heavy lifting. Backing off when they think they've gotten too much heat, not really digging into their convictions because it's too difficult to lead a lynch on a specific player, etc.
Basically I think Ekko is trying to find where Aurelian's head is at and what his play is behind the scenes.
I... Think ? Maybe?
This is mostly on the basis of me reading him more as town, but if I were to read him as scum, I'd have to reassess things and probably should.
