I feel like I should comment on this post considering Ekko's progression on my slot is the reason why Magic is after Ekko. I also have some issues with what Magic said.
You'll see something I don't like right off the bat with the bolded part. I genuinely tried my best early on to disengage with Fang because I didn't think it would be productive to anyone to continue. I specifically made a post (
post 92) replying to Ekko saying 'I am trying to disengage with Fang', which Magic liked. So for Magic to say I continued to argue with Fang, and to go even further and say I was slight pushing him (which I never did), seems completely done in bad faith and a way for Magic to try and control a narrative. Magic also says 'Ekko's mind isn't changed in the slightest' from thinking me and Fang are town versus town. Does that also not imply that something from me and Fang should have convinced Ekko that one of us is not town? Just feels like more attempts at controlling the narrative.
Now, with Ekko's read on me, I actually don't have a problem. He did say IF I was town, I should drop my argument with Fang, who he read town. He never really said I was town during this time, just that he wanted to avoid any unnecessary conflict (I think this comes from a town Ekko). When Magic pushed Ekko on his town read on me (which Ekko never gave), that's when Ekko came out with what I felt like a gun to head town read on me, and I didn't have a problem with that. I don't like how Magic is trying to still push the narrative that Ekko's progression and town read on me is somehow indicative to him being wolf.
On Ekko being a leader, I have no issue with that play. I found him super easy as town in Elden Ring and I do think he's town in this game. I don't like how Magic is being dismissive of Ekko here just because he deems the games that Ekko adopted this play style as being not good games by Ekko. I think this is an attempt to discredit what Ekko is doing this game.
