--> Very little interaction between him and Nacho on D1, only beginning to speak to each other in #204 + #207 which I'd think works as both scum/town and scum/scum. Then there's the coachy-type stuff I think Llamarble was referring to earlier that starts at #693 where Nacho prods DV and asks him to organize his reads. Oddly enough my initial impression was that this actually points
--> I think #848 is a pretty big point against them being a team, don't really see the incentive for DV-scum to start undermining the townreads on Nacho he was getting off his huge end-of-D1 wallpost by referencing Always On and even implying that it might be a scumtell that post (+ the way DV says he really wants Nacho to be town reads really genuine to me).
--> Ok, so there's the elephant in the room which is Nacho's DV case at the end of the last Day. Context-wise, I'm not really sure Nacho perceived that the lynch was 100% between himself/CES, especially given that all of our lynches up to that point had been deadline flash wagons. This is probably super pretentious conjecture, but at the time, a lot of people expressed either null or scumreads on DV so I think he was going for a deadline compromise mislynch there. I also don't think Nacho generally makes full-fledged cases on his buddies as in #1519 generally and I think DV's back-and-forth/reaction to the case in general (ex: #1505 + #1529) feel really natural and town (think DV would come across a lot more awkward if he were scum).
--> I've already mentioned all the stuff off DV's individual play that really make me think he's town here, if anyone wants me to repeat it or update it let me know, but I think I've made thoughts there well known.
CONCLUSION: Looking over DV again and his interaction with Nacho-scum makes me feel really good about him being town here so I think at this point he can join the non-negotiable pile with Tierce and Tammy.
I'm being dragged off to a convention again (sigh) so I'll put up the Benmage stuff tonight or at some point tomorrow and hopefully get through the first of CES/Llamarble/Shadoweh on the next pass.
