Does anyone want to know why I was sure Sixx was scum? It's because he was terrible. Terribly awful. Awfully terrible. That was, quite frankly, the most transparent scum play I've ever seen outside of a newbie game. I could tell you about all the times that he awkwardly stumbled over his terribly formulated sentences trying desperately to cover all of his bases and remain neutral(and there's some real gems in there), but to me the meat of it was the way he was seemingly incapable of even
pretending
to have a read on anyone. And we're talking over 20 pages into the game here, at which time he proceeded to manufacture a bullshit reason to vote for Ztife, which he never followed up on, followed by an even more blatantly manufactured reason to vote for Darthe which was also never followed up on.
What's my point? Sixx is an open book, and in chapter 2 he lets us know that JacobSavage is his scumbuddy. I'll give you a hint: As a player that was content to so shamelessly claim to have no scumreads at all over and over again because "it's day 1," brush off questions about his town reads when asked why he had them, etc, who was the one person he ever made an excuse for not having a read on? That's right, class, it was JacobSavage.
This is almost beside the point, though, because JacobSavage is worth lynching on his own merits too.
Has anyone else noticed that he's spent the entirety of the game in a state of active lurking? If you look at his iso, you'll see he contributes literally nothing to any serious conversations through well over ten pages. His first serious post? He votes Thez, and then immediately unvotes because--despite calling him scum and still being "down" with his lynch--he doesn't want him to be put at L-2; he later retracts suspicion of him when everyone else does. After that, well.. seriously, take a look at that iso. I can't even be bothered to point out how practically every post he makes is an offhand comment on some besides-the-point aside going on.
In the 60ish posts between his 18th and 19th posts he chooses to solely comment on the drivers/flavor stuff and wish SC a happy birthday. His next post is commenting on NJs avatars. His next post is a comment on that same discussion about the drivers. After that his V/LA follows, and his promised "content post" is a couple of short sentences on how he has a null read on nhammen and a very slight scum lean on idiotking(these uncontroversial, unmeaningful stances are the cornerstone of every attempt at participating in the game he makes). I could keep doing this until I got to the end of his iso, with every single post he's made, but I'm absolutely not going to bother doing it. I highly suggest taking a look for yourselves if you've somehow managed to miss this. I'll wait.
The best part--and I'll try to keep this shortish, I seem to have become one of those walls of text that I hate--is how he responds to the nearly non-existent pressure I've put on him.
Post 2081? Snarky image response to a claim that a specific post of his was scummy. This is a clear scum tactic on his behalf.
2252? He asks me why I didn't use my nightkill on him if I want him dead so badly. Do I need to explain why this is scummy?
Look at how he's throwing around the word tunneling at every possible opportunity to try to discredit me when it's patently obvious to anyone that he was never my focus until now, and we're nearly 100 pages into the game.
In 2332 he tries to pass it off as being scummy that I found Thez scummy once I actually read the game for the first time. This is scummy from him several reasons, but my favorite is the part where he uses turn of phrase to try to pass off a very clear and easily explainable thing as being some mystical hidden key of scuminess that I'll never be able to talk my way out of so that everyone can ooh and ahh over how totally nailed I am. Again: Scum. Tactic.
