The logic behind ECat as mafia seems to mostly be “I, Peum, declared that not claiming mayor is bad. ECat did not claim mayor therefore must be scum.” We have established that Peum was pretty much the only person who harped on this (besides like two other posts from Celever and someone else I forget) so I am willing to believe that ECat simply disagreed with you since there was no REAL general thread consensus about it (one vocal player and two agreements out of 18 players is not a consensus).
Then there was the whole business about ECat still being the mayor today because of being scum/mech interactions but ECat was proven to be telling the truth with DBD voting counting as 2 today
Basically I believe that ECat made a bad decision day one, everyone jumped on them for no good reason, and the soft crashout we saw from ECat was town flailing because people were kind of rude. Since then, all ECat has done is tell the truth and play self-preservation. The Peum vote is absolutely OMGUS but I don’t blame it considering how hard Peum has tunneled here.
