This suspicion is justified, and I've said as much earlier in the day.

But I've never pegged MZero as one to start going for the "out there" theories as solid reasons to start a lynch.

FD could be manipulating town. But you have to ask: what does scum FD gain from pushing No Lynch?

His motive (or at least one of his motives) for pushing NL was that we won't force town power to claim. Of course, that is ideal but that also means we won't force scum to claim either, and forcing scum to claim is one of the best ways to bust them. Especially day 1 when they're locked into that claim for the rest of the game. Also, stalling out on No Lynch (he started pushing this less than half-way through the day) leads to a complacent down and kills all the momentum going into Day 2. Scum can also lay low if no one's getting pressured.

It's also an easy thing to push so you don't have to fake scum hunt. Just park yourself on No Lynch and call it a day. Very safe. As I recall in Valentine's FD isn't the best at faking suspicion as scum. He pretty much just said Ulti and I were scum by PoE because he liked everyone else. I don't really remember what he did early game but I don't remember him making a lot of pushes.
