Talk:This Could Be the Heist of the Millennium!/@comment-26485526-20180302231833/@comment-27391152-20180303093928

Okay, besides last episode, I don't really think Jacob's edit has been all that positive or "glowing"? For instance, after either Constance's or Celia's boot, I remember him getting super emotional and having arguments with Adrian; neither of which made him look that great. Like, I genuinely have no idea where you've gotten the idea that he's untouchable from so if you could please give some examples, that'd be great. And don't use that Oswald quote because I thought it was pretty clearly just him encouraging Jacob not to give up. I took it as "just because things haven't gone your way in the past, doesn't mean they won't now."

As for him having the best chance of winning, well, it had to be somebody, right? Adrian and Maria have been the clear front-runners for me since the merge and I've never really considered Jacob a viable candidate until now. Don't really see how that has much to do with how likeable he is or how good of a winner he is. Kryshelle was given the most obvious winner's edit in Tangle's fanon history yet you still love her! You might even say she was given the... Golden Girls edit. BADUM FUCKING TISH

One last thing, I think you're not giving Jacob enough credit by saying everything MAGICALLY went his way. Yes, he was often out of the loop early on (which I wouldn't quite consider the "horrendous" gameplay, but whatever), but I would argue that the reason he's been able to survive all that is because of his plethora of connections. Isla, Celia, Misty, Adrian, and Oswald all considered him their #1 or #2 ally throughout most of the merge, which meant that even if he didn't get his way time after time, he always had a back-up plan, or at least someone in the majority that would've vouched for him to stay.
