the jigsaw killer set up an elaborate multipart pwning days in advance, left multiple clues foretelling it and a video of babe ruth calling his shot, then in one fell swoop had TMF kill Mandy, To be fair, and himself. TMF gets upset and retires in shame.
don't forget that he MASTERFULLY manipulated the fact that Rowan is utterly boring to drive down his own popularity in a risky gambit to draw in To be fair.
He even knew that he couldn't trust Mandy to not pull a :D, so he made her an unconscious actor and relied on Fish - who he could trust to do dumb, over reactive shit and fight the hypo - to make all the moves. Out of all three posters, only Fish would have ever made things happen they way they did.
he even played all of xoxo. if he just wanted Tbf inside a coffin, he could have kidnapped him and not lost popularity from pandering to Tbf. but Tbf had to enter the coffin willingly because it would have been unfair for Fish to kill him without him having a chance to resist.
And he knew there was no point in testing TBF because there was no way he would learn a lesson from it (and what are you going to test him on anyway? Whether he can stop megaposting or not?), so he just set up a scenario where he was virtually guaranteed to die - VOLUNTARILY, and because of his desire for attention.

Trust me, the only way to get embarrassed on this forum is to embarrass yourself. Fish did just that, partly out of his silly desire to please total strangers on the net.
And you don't think that Jigsaw, who has shown that he has a pretty great grasp of what makes individual posters here tick, foresaw this? You don't think his talk of "blurring the lines of XO and reality" was a prediction (even though he linked to a video of Babe Ruth calling his shot) that something like this would happen?
I think he figured that if he pwned Fish, he could count on (1) Fish to refuse to be a good sport, and (2) they entire board to turn against him. Add in a mod (TBF? Jigsaw? Both) who was poised and ready to start censoring Fish - proving that at the end of the day, he was the "little man" on XO that he is IRL to - in order to push him over the edge, and...
