I'm suddenly more willing to believe DP is town solely because Lycan is the only scumbuddy that makes sense. Assuming I'm confirmed town in everyone else's PoV (no one scumreads me, so...?), these are all of the possible scumbuddies of DP:
Fiddler and Kaori make the least sense out of everyone. Makesnosense was literally the first person to vote for DP. There was nothing at stake that required bussing your partner, so why do it? Harlii gave very weak reasoning to join the wagon, why potentially risk losing your scumbuddy day 1 so early into the day? Both were newbies though so I
suppose
them assuming "Oh, I'll get easy towncred" could be a motivation, but it's just such a pointless risk I really have to wonder if they would do that.
Kraska doesn't really have any interesting associatives with DP. She joined too late in the game to be a part of his wagon, but going through her ISO her reads on him seem pretty organic. The two had very weak interactions (Kraska's DP read has changed multiple times and there was also the Kaori discussion, that's really about it), so I'm not sure what to make of that. I will say that reading Kraska's ISO pretty much strengthened my townread on her, her thought process is really clear and logical and I feel that out of the 7 living players she's the only one that can really have someone say that about them.
I know this was Lycan's red-herring scumteam but I have to wonder with recent events if he's going back here.
RC as DP's scumbuddy initially made sense, as double bussing as they did could have easily been planned, and the fight they did was very convincingly TvT. My hesitation about calling this the scumteam is A: the fact I townread RC, and B: the second time RC and DP fought, both sides seemed very sincere in how they felt. I'm not really sure to call it SvS, maybe TvT or TvS.
Lycan is the only person left. In terms of Racer and DP, Racer gave a very sketchy readslist in post
68 that put DP as null for very little reason. He said that he agreed with Harlii's dislike of RC, but for some reason disagreed with his read on DP. If you think one player is scummy, why are you not scumreading the person who buddied him under false premises? There's more that's scummy with that one post but I would save it for a case against Lycan's slot, not for pointing out DP associatives. Lycan is also the only player who can really "bus" DP, as if DP is truly scum then he's pretty much indefensible at this point. I am interested in how I feel that Lycan has been pushing for RC/Kraska more than RC/DP, though...
At this point, it's either Lycan/Kaori or Lycan/DP from my PoV. Still intending to hammer which wagon gets going first.
