You mean playing awesomely, but getting utterly ignored?
...And maybe being the next mislynch?
...I'd say so, yes. Should-be-leading-town-but-getting-lynched-by-them. That's Mastin-tier this game.

No, it really really doesn't.

This. SO MUCH. This. F-16's right. Nacho if he was town would just BE town...and he's not.
I was accusing him of bringing up the passion only when people started wondering about him and sitting back whenever it wasn't necessary. I also said his push on Mastin came at an opportunistic time - at a point when a Mastin lynch was very likely and just needed a little push in that direction to ensure that he got lynched.
My feelings exactly.

Hey, Nacho.
Guess what?
You weren't.
#scumclaim.

F-16 wrote:You defended him ergo the lynch didn't happen. Sure, some others might want it but a true Nacho defense ensures that the lynch doesn't happen and you know it. Mastin would expect nothing less and if your defense was insufficient, she would still scumread you.
Not exactly, but basically, yeah.

For the record, Nacho, no, you wouldn't have. That read was mainly on bork's posting, not yours. I was paranoid-as-hell about your posting, and it was only when I saw the glimmer of ~passion~ did I townread your half. ~Passion~ which...then vanished.
Or in other words...

This. Exactly this. Nacho, without bork, is someone I'd inherently have that concern about, and frankly, was at the bottom of my "god tier" list anyway for that reason.
Nacho wrote:She nailed down the good read on me.
I nailed down nothing. This is not me, rewriting reality. My read on you was decreasing. And you KNEW it was. You knew it was degrading. You fucking knew my read was beginning to fall.
I can recognize when people are stuck in their ways. Mastin was stuck in her ways.
LIKE HELL I WAS. Now? Now I am, of course. My reads are locked in, right or wrong, dammit, I'm sticking to them. When I was alive? FUCK no, my reads changed every fucking post. I'm more of a waffle lady than Tammy ever could be, and everyone entered and left my scum list at some point or another (with a few exceptions).
F-16 wrote:What if Mastin was accusing your scumbuddies of being scum?
Like AP, mara/Orc, and barely keeping PV out, but theorizing about the scum vig. (Which PV claimed...after I died. Quite convenient, no? That I theorized about a scum fucking vig and that one claims the day after I'm dead.)
I meant it when I said that Nacho began hard pushing me immediately after that theory and that I thought it was significant. I stand by it being true. Wrong person owning the power, right idea behind the theory.
Speaking of which, seriously. Would a town-PV see my theory and just casually ignore it? I think not. Yet he did.
Nacho wrote:Do you think she would have called me scum if I didn't call her scum?
Except no, it's not. That read was going downhill, especially because I had reasons for scumreads to be town and I was there, thinking. "The game makes sense if one of my stronger townreads is wrong and actually scum." I had this fucking thought. While alive, even. Mighta even posted it at some point.
I have good reason to be cautious about casually clearing you as being 100% town, Nacho. And you damn-well know it, too. That read wasn't going to hold out. You're smart enough to have known that. And to have anticipated it. Yeah, it wasn't going to disappear as soon as it did! Because that thought process takes a while to accept, to admit. But it most certainly WAS going to change.
Also, fairly certain the points about Katsuki lying as town are bullshit, though Kats can confirm or deny them. I know kuribo doesn't fakeclaim as town, and that Katsuki has similarities, at the very least.
F-16 wrote:Looking back, there were a few things that felt really town from Mastin on hindsight. You know Mastin better than I do - or anyone else. Why didn't you pick up on any of those things?
ALSO THIS.
SO FUCKING MUCH, THIS.
(I also said this when I was alive.)
F-16 is absolutely owning Nacho in their debate.
Nacho wrote:There were also things I didn't think could possibly come from Mastin as town, and something like that overrides really town parts unless those really town parts couldn't come from mastin-scum, which wasn't the case.
Bullfuckingshit. Rather, the statements are true, but the circumstances you're saying them for aren't. There was absolutely nothing in my game here which I wouldn't do as town--in fact, QUITE THE FUCKING OPPOSITE, THERE WAS EXPLICITLY THINGS I WOULD NEVER DO AS SCUM.
Yeah, there are really, really town things I can do as scum. But you know what? There's basically nothing I don't do as town, given set circumstances. There are EXPLICITLY things I don't do as scum.
F-16 wrote:But any other game I've seen you, you give people that you know a really long rope when you are town and tend to give them the benefit of the doubt. I don't think you gave Mastin a chance (which I guess I didn't either), but it doesn't fit with the Nacho meta I'm aware of.
I SAID THIS NEARLY WORD FOR FUCKING WORD, TOO.
How did you end up misreading town-Mastin that badly? Is there a take-away you got from it? From what I know of your play, you are occasionally fooled by players you know but almost never mislynch them when you are both town which is part of the reason everyone loves you.
Also this.
I guess I'd have expected town-him to step back and let Mastin do his thing for a while and work with Mastin. Then if the towniness doesn't show, drive home the lynch. It just didn't match with Nacho's usual patterns and the way he pushes lynches as town. What does his push on you in Too Many Heads, his push on Wisdom in Z-mafia, his push on Syryana in Stacking the Deck, his push on Bulbazak in BB:HoH, and his push on TheFonz/Implosion in Swagtown all have in common? I didn't see that common factor here especially the commonalities amongst the first three games above.
AND THIS. SO DAMN MUCH, THIS.
