This is silly, I was town reading Ekko about as early as I reasonably could. Before that I had very little to work with.Good job m8. Took too long. The bachi assassination was bad too. You hung on too long on a weak point.
As far as Bachi goes, I maintain that he was making a nonsense argument that he didn't believe, and instead of conceding this argument he doubled down which brings hollow and ingenuine. I freely admit that I can see him not being scum over it, but I don't agree with you that he must be town - I think you're giving him too much of an out when all he has done is invent something that clearly isn't true and then stick to it.
There is also his reluctance to vote but that could be more personality.
Next?
