Things from rereading PPS:
I didn't get much from his D1, lots of setup talk.
D2 he does go after joth a lot, however he says lateish in the day that he was doing that because he assumed ash had a result on joth. In light of that, I don't think he really deserves credit for wanting to exile joth, given that scum!PPS would probably see a good opportunity to bus if joth was actually incriminated.
Solid argument, can't disagree there. Wish someone had brought that up earlier, haha. I was literally assuming Joth to be scum because ash made a statement suggesting he had results. My brain didn't fill in that blank, though. Was the rest of my analysis deeply colored by that assumption? Yes. Is it thus wrong? Not necessarily.
D3 there's this business of forgetting how mathdude's result worked. What's kind of interesting is that this:
So, it's just a simple commitment to the assumption that 2 scum would not have been on the math wagon?
is only an hour away from this:
I think the whole nature of the mathdude kamikaze circumstance makes the wagon analysis a complete shot in the dark. What about anyone's position on or off the wagon tells us their potential alignment? It was a town gambit that required town participation to happen. I find it ironic that his name is mathdude and as a very non mathdude myself I still see his number guess as the poorest utility in the event of being wrong. I personally and quite averse to gambling and while I'm probably poor at risk assessment I like to think I can solve basic odds analysis. Of the options 0,1,2 I feel he picked the worst one and that is self evident today. High risk high reward or abysmal payoff.
so I guess PPS forgot that we had mod confirmation that there weren't 2 scum on wagon very quickly. I'm not really sure if that's alignment indicative although it seemed worth pointing out.
After that PPS starts going after Eddie which I think there are good reasons to do whether PPS is town or scum.
So I'm left with a pretty null read on PPS. There wasn't anything really scummy in there, but my townread on them was mostly based on their going after joth and now I'm disinclined to give townpoints for that.
