I like your direction
So far I have this
Am honestly impressed with Ekko's play. Regardless of the muh unbiased observations shtick this seems to be earnestly solving. He seems like he's hardcoring mafia which is not something he's done for a very long time. I like his method for now
Re: Craig - has done similar shit to me when I was town and scum.
The earlier conclusion I had over Fang:
As scum he avoids disdainful or snarky retorts early game. That last reaction from him sealed a town lean. That's it. Not that deep. Not even a full case. Just some attributes in line with his town play. Craig is making a mountain out of Peltonhills
Flower: experiencing some cognitive dissonance with her rational on players like Mel. I don't think that this is coming from her being flustered as scum; it's coming from not having the ability to express what's (I think) a gut read. Why Melkor, I don't know. It's interesting she's less paranoid over others takes on her and why Mel, of all people, is falling short of her expectations and spooking her. Don't get that at all
And to fully clarify since it probably isn't clear. I don't mind her doing what's her pretty standard way tagging to pressure inactives. The issue I took with it initially was she went out of her way to vote someone while the heat was still on her.
She's now moved on to a more organic approach without hrat and has been consistent with that, which makes me think it was just a self-preservation as town coming from her this time.
(Ftr I do agree on pressuring Nibel - it's just something that gave me a pause on how quickly she went about it, wanted to see what the hubbub was about, got my answers)
Tl;dr:
-Ekko's solves echoes previous hardtrying as town. He's not being obstructive. Can be beneficial for nurturing discussion and angles. But would watch closely regardless, don't trust him to not get bored and do weird shit that'll hurt my and others reads on him
-Flower right now has a very inconsistently consistent town reaction toward the above variables, am fine with her
-Fang has been given a very soft town lean due to, you know, being... whatever you call this kind of headache when he throws snark instead of conversing like a cordial human being, it's that
-Craig has an edgy name now. His pressure I think on me is NAI imho, but he does have the capability to gently agenda press if he thinks there's an opening for him to do so. I don't see that here, seems like standard reaction testing. Overall null, need more from him that doesn't pertain to just my slot
