Just in response to your questions from those points:
Tom has clearly stated he hadn’t been following the game properly, to the extent that he thought Ame has replaced Robb. He scumread Paragon but admitted he hadn’t really read too deeply into his posts barring the things he pointed out regarding the role crumbs. This shows his reads were surface level and lacking in foundation.
Sitting on reads, particularly on what is essentially the basis of a policy lynch, is an easy thing for scum to do; if they aren’t under threat then there is no need to pull up any trees from their point of view. Assuming no scum agenda on his behalf based on this approach seemed rash to me. I currently think Tom is more likely Town based on his more recent posting anyway.
What about
Alo's
recent posting makes him town to you?
And I do need to reread
Alo
, but tbh, I thought the purpose behind him sitting on reads and missing details would more likely come from town in the idea that he was sticking to his reads since this day has been dragging a bit despite the good amount of content its contained.
If he had an agenda, I figured he'd be more obvious, and not be as inclined to inquire or reply to suspicion casted on him.
While saying
pops/I
are TvT can be a valid scum tactic and annoying to parse arguments, I came to him with the question. It's hard to say his motivation was scum-indicative when he didn't inject himself into the 1v1 with this opinion, and this aligned with his town-ish read on both of our slots at the time. So I noted his opinion and left it at that.

Because not having cohesion leads to mislynches and makes it more difficult to parse interactions of other people? It's also easier for scum to take control of the thread if towns are consistently distrustful, dismissive, and chaotic.
It also makes it hard for me to accrue solid townreads.
Why did you ask?
