I think PPS is a by far, the best lynch for today. There was interest for the lynch earlier, but when the opportunity to push it arose, that interest dissipated into thin air.
His self awareness when it's come to his reads has been a particularly strong scum tell as well. The way he was on Gkrieg earlier in D2 while maintaining his push for faust with the whole line of "oh, I would totally vote faust, but his lynch just seems too easy" and "I've been pushing the faust case all game" felt extremely setup. The fact that he had never even voted for faust until I called him out, plus the fact that he literally gave faust s "big town read" earlier in the game felt like he was trying to maintain control while disassociating himself with faust's potential lynch.
Now that's not at all to say that I find faust townie as a result here. The fact that it was so difficult to get PPS to vote there, coupled with the fact that faust was entirely willing to vote PPS (and did) until suddenly there was other interest in the PPS wagon reads very much as classic partner play. However, it's far more likely here to have scum!PPS & town!Faust than the other way around, and while they could be scum together lynching PPS simply makes more sense than lynching faust.
All of that is moot however as EFHW, LaLight (who I'm leaning townie on) and I seem to be the only ones interested in a PPS lynch. Note that Hydrad has come in to call Hydrad townie in the absence of much activity, which if PPS is in fact scum, is a nice way to try and move any potential momentum against PPS without actively engaging.
So unless ya'll wanna come around and lynch scum here, I'm kinda at a loss for what to do.
