here's my take.
first,
this does not compute. in the first quote, Eco recalls being surprised that his character could possibly be town. in the second, he claims that he had to google the character, because he had "no idea who it was." this is just exceptionally suspicious.
next, the town / scum / theme alignment. i have been thinking about this all day, and forgive me for going too meta, but this will be the third Pasch game i've played. in the previous two, town won, and in the last round, won handily. at this point if i were Pasch, i would have some motivation to weight the game more towards scum this time. if Tucker and others are telling the truth, some obviously dark side roles might be town. i know in my own instance that an obviously town role is also town. it's possible that this was designed to limit or to confuse role claims.
the fact that Eco is claiming such an obscure role also gives me pause. scum would likely choose a role that they are sure no one else has in order to prevent a counter claim. also, it's possible that the well known roles were handed out first and that scum were given fake claims from whatever was left.
finally, there has just been something off about Eco's game play. when i played with him last game, i pretty much jumped on his team immediately, because i was was pretty confident he was town. this time does resemble his game play then, but there is just something that isn't the same. it's almost like he's a very good mask of town Eco.
caveat : my analysis depends heavily on meta. that being said, ##vote Ecofarm.
first,
I dunno, all of the setting could be pointless. I just thought it was very strange when I saw my character name and ~"... a Townie" after it.
I had no idea who it was. I google searched and read a few wookiepedia entries. It's the guy that Darth Vader magic-chokes for not capturing Han Solo. Also, I was congratulated by Yoda during the Battle of Corseca (sp) while defending the Jedis from Grievous and other forces of evil.
