JaggedJimmyJay
My comb will be less fine a tooth here because it’s a lot more posts than TH or Michelle, and I have less time.
Jay seems fine at first, actually. Some banter, some early half-serious-half-not reads. One I quite like is
this one. Everything else is fairly straightforward, and nothing that a scum can’t also say. Shades me a bit early, so that’s something.
This continues. A lot of little reads like
this and
this and
this to pick three I happen to be staring at on my screen as I start typing this. Again, very much posts a scum can make to blend in. Maybe I just expect too much of my old Champs foe, but very bland stuff at this point. I just…I don’t see anything he’s doing to actually advance the game state. A lot of
‘tell me about…’ and
questions and such.
After spending some time on jack & nutella’s little ditty, his vote on me comes a bit out of nowhere. He shaded me earlier, so there’s that, but he arrives back in the thread to hop on my wagon after it’s already grown in a little spurt. Very opportunistic moment, basically. Only explains it later, and for reasoning I find poor. Like,
making a deal out of the ‘4th vote = scum’ thing? Come on. It reads like he scanned the thread for a few things to say that others already have about me.
He is consistent in TRing Juliets, expresses displeasure with speedchuk and G-man, gives a couple brief reads on others like Dom and Tony…nothing worth noting. He does give a
decent case against speedchuk. I mean, I could quibble that some of it looks a bit padded, e.g. saying a joke post gave a bad vibe. But some of it looks halfway decent. There’s also, later, a similar ISO on
Michelle that seems okay too.
But then back to more one-line soft reads. The most egregious one I find to be
this, which is just…weak. It’s meant to be jokey, but in the context of Jay’s larger play this game strikes me wrongly. Then, despite all his one-off reads here and there, he lands back on me as a vote.
I saw in a quoted post Dizzy say Jay’s not ‘packing a punch’ and is staying in the background, and yeah, that’s exactly it. I’d add on his vote on me was one of the more wagony ones and his latest vote feels like one made to push my easy wagon again. He’s not working to solve anyone else first.
Scum lean.
