okay let me try again to explain it because I think I did a bad job the first time
Jake is a super easy person to push, regardless of his alignment; Jake mislynches are not super uncommon, because he’s just kind of an intrinsically scummy person, and both town and scum tend to push him.
this means that if he’s not being pushed, there’s usually a reason for it, and that reason is usually that he’s scum (which means that (a) scum doesn’t want to push him, and (b) scum isn’t going to egg on or encourage the people scumreading him)
right now he’s not seriously being pushed – a decent number of people are like ‘yeah I think he might be scum,’ but no one is actually going beyond that.
did that explanation make sense? if not I can try again in the morning.
