1) I don't understand the idea that TTJT and DP cannot be a team together based off of one post. I think that
445 is wrong because... yeah, scum would if they were bussing, lmao? If it was DP and TTJT scum it's totally possible that DP was trying to create space for him to be eased into a TTJT scumread if need be down the line and I don't get that sort of absolute this or that logic.
2) I don't agree inherently with the entirety of the case that 72 has presented on DP. I think in part that is because meta is not something I often engage in, but basing someone's alignment on level of activity compared to other games does feels like a discredit? Yeah, you can be active based on different parts of the game if it's beneficial, but I don't think that DP's activity level should be the main meat of the case against him — it should be the contents of this game and his posts.
3) That being said, I do agree still that for a good part of this game (as said in
455), DP wasn't engaging in scumhunting save for pointing out something strange and then going on his way when he was here. It has only been in these most recent of posts that I think that DP has stepped up to the plate under pressure even if some of it has given me pause, because a lot of it is motivated more so by defending himself FMPOV than anything else.
4) 72's push in this past page or two isn't great. I can understand the meat of his case from the beginning save for the meta (and even then, I can plausibly believe that town!72 is using this meta with good intentions to gamesolve) but I don't understand concepts like lynching active SE's as scummy (
503) — if a SE is scummy, they're scummy. I think that
507 is somewhat discrediting too, because DP didn't immediately crucify GL and 72; in
459, he is willing to give credit to 72 as a potential town player for the meta argument, and GL as potentially overreacting.

@DP: You're locked in on 72 right now but can you tell me who any of your other scumreads are? I assume GL is one as well, and I don't think that you're reading 72/GL as a team right now, but I could be mistaken. In truth, I think that the fact you locked into the people voting you as your scumreads doesn't give me too much confidence? It's like there's a jump from the low-effort attempts to find scum but only in the people who suspected you. That and I think your explanations in
466 as to why you're going after who you are could be justifications as to what your usual method of play are to support your case in this game versus what they genuinely are? If that makes sense.
Also I don't like
535 in truth because it feels like it's ignoring something scummy (because I think that JT has been scummy throughout this push. I do think that gauging the reactions of confidence in everyone else isn't great, and that
527 is an effort to go for a 'safer' option despite the likelihood of those options. I don't understand the conflation of it being a high risk/high reward situation at all. That and
543 is, fmpov, an effort from JT to give himself credit for his actions despite them being something scum could do, too.).
