Farside: what odds does it make to Duplicity whether they pushed yours or Maxous' lynch? Scum couldn't have won yesterday anyway. Are you saying that scum don't think of reasons not to lynch people? To give one particularly pertinent hypothetical, if the Duplicity slot is town, why did NE produce a townread on Oso during D1 when he could have easily maintained him as a suspect? I'm certainly not sold on a TS-Dup scumteam, but I think your reason for doubting Dup-scum is fairly weak.
Giving a town read to another player is common scum tactic, do I even need to mention WC's play in American God's and giving town reads on people. However look at what he said in comparison to Dup's. WC was all about saying gut. Dup is giving examples. Have you ever seen scum actually give examples of why they find someone town? I sure haven't. Plus mislynch me yesterday and he still could give a Max/TS combo today. Why fight against one after thinking I was scum to saying I'm town. I typically see scum stay consistent, because inconsistency gets you caught and questioned. I don't see how this is weak reasoning.
