Im fine with smark being lynched, I think there's really good scum equity there
The duel is in a pretty frustrating spot as Im like 90% sure Juice is just town and I am fairly confident of Ekko being scum lol. If you read his posts (I know, he's hard to ISO cos hes a spammer) but a LOT of his posts are super disingenuous. When you look at things like him trying to reduce my town read of Juice to just being because nobody defended her when I had more reasons that I stated multiple times, to him repeatedly asking Mando to state his reason for scum reading him, despite the fact he's said so multiple times. He argues against stuff he picks out and conveniently ignores other points made that don't fit his worldview. Notice how when the duel became less of a sure thing, he pivoted from "I think juice is town but unlucky you made a mistake sorry rip" to "oh actually juice has crossed too many lines I think shes scum now". Coincidence? No of course it isn't lol. His assertation that juice is desperate to win is pretty wrong imo, but even if true he never gives a good reason for why its scummy to start caring about whether or not you're going to die
Then he freely admits he isn't playing his usual game, but has no issue with people saying he IS playing his usual game. Pressed on this by chris, and he concedes its likely one of them is scum. Does he dig deeper? Well no. Does he try and name anybody in particular? No. Because he wants to keep the people town reading him onside.
There is waaaaayyyyy more calculation in Ekko's posts this game than there is when he's town. This is what I meant earlier in the game too. When he's town he just throws tonnes of shit at the wall to see what sticks. This game he's not been doing that at all, he's arguing against calculated points and players.
But Im wasting my breath, the muppets in the class are just gonna vote for juice to lose because "herp derp she did a bad ekko more valuable"
Glad Christmas is only once a year
