I'll try to organize my thoughts and give an exhaustive case for J Reggie being scum. Let's go!
1) J Reggie and the Jan wagonOkay, this basically starts out with RR's claim. He is voting for RR already, then continues to do so after he claimed some stuff. He does some
pretty bad case about how we should lynch RR regardless of alignment. After Jan says something, he immediately backs off both of them. This is what scum wants, because it keeps Jan alive. This is followed by a lot of posts that don't talk about Jan/RR at all. Distracting from the situation at hand. He doesn't take a stance on Jan/RR until the day is over.
2) The claim, and timingHe claims the first part, the neighborhood, after the alternate wagon, Cron, has claimed an investigative power. He claims some additional power then, which serves to keep scum!him alive for at least one more night. Then comes the next day. I put some pressure on J Reggie:
I hope J Reggie used his claimed investigative power. Otherwise let's lynch him.
So maybe he thought he had to claim something. He waits for EFHW and teamlyle to claim their stuff, then, at the ideal point in time, claim his "results" without there being the option for teamlyle or EFHW to confirm anything. Pretty darn convenient.
3) Cron's roleCron has claimed Tracker, and now J Reggie claims another Tracker variant. I mean, there are a lot of possible investigative powers to use; mods don't usually use the same one twice.
4) Playing scummy on purposeJust to make things clear, there's very rarely a situation where that's a good idea. I ask him where he was scummy on purpose, and he just points me to things that people happened to find scummy, and gives no specifics. I think that if you're really trying to play scummy, you'll be able to give a more detailed overview of what you did to appear scummy than
this.
5) Post-claim behaviourThis is more subjective I guess. But I feel like J Reggie has no intention to scumhunt whatsoever. He just has tunnel vision on Haddock (understandable with his claimed result) and me (?) and doesn't even for the shortest time consider anyone else. This becomes clear during D3. Yet, on D4, he randomly tries to make a wagon on someone else in the neighborhood stick, because he's afraid that he won't win against Haddock.
6) J Reggie's night actionsSo we are to believe that J Reggie thought his role powerful enough to warrant scummy play. That means he expected to get valuable alignment information. Everyone knows that no Tracker result can clear a player as town (unless there's only one scum left, or something). So he should have tried to find scum. but he didn't apparent. This makes no sense.
I wasn't really expecting to catch scum; I was more expecting to give my neighborhood buddies a sort of clear (as should be obvious from what I said D2 about my power). Turns out I did catch scum, and Yay I guess, except no one believes me so boo.
This is his response: He wasn't really expecting to catch scum. Note that this contradicts an earlier post of his:
I targeted teamlyle because he's new and might slip up as scum.
7) Haddock is townTHis would probably warrant a case on its own, but really look at how he treated the Jan wagon. Look at my result. Consider the fact that we know that he has a non-targeting PR and yet J Reggie claims that he targeted 2 people in the same night.
