I'm not saying you're rules-lawyering in terms of site rules, I mean it in the sense you didn't actually speak that thought out so while you felt that way, when asked a question that assumed it, you responded by challenging the assumption.
And again, if she's not doing that then what would you say she IS doing? I'm not looking for what you don't see from mastina, I'm looking for what you do see.

This is a complete non-sequitur

Don't presume to know what I'm thinking.
This includes what I believe.
My thought processes operate very differently from most people. Just because you think I should think something, doesn't mean I do. Just because you think I don't believe something, doesn't mean I don't.
You can't accurately equivocate everyone else's logic system to your own

Yes. It's totally irrelevant and unlikely to help me solve anyone. I'm just stuck on my novel.

If you consider that they can either do so willingly or unwillingly, you've already ruled willingly. However, I think situations where they would have to hear this interview unwillingly are pretty rare.
Could one of the characters have not complied, listened to the interview, and shared it with the other(s) on the pretext of how important it is?
Are there other characters who are not directly involved with the case who could fill this role and convince them to hear the interview due to its importance?
If you're set on them listening to it unwillingly, then it would have to either be a time they were a captive audience, or start off so interesting that they would need to listen and switch over to the willingly listening side. Where they might accidentally happen upon it depends on how big a deal this interview was. Maybe a radio in a taxi or a TV in a bar, although it's rare for either to have the news on. . .

That's not an answer to the question. The more you try to evade this, the more comfortable I feel with my vote.
PEdit: I'm not asking about what you want to see, I'm asking about what you see RIGHT NOW.

What I see right now is not what I'm looking for.

Yeah. A lot of people equivocation activity with town and he flew in and popped out a lot of posts at one time... without actually giving us anything to chew on.
There's no meat on all those bones.
While I disagree with House's assessment, I think both he and gamma are town.
Same.

That's a negative statement about what you're seeing. If possible, express it as a positive.

All jokes aside 592 is what you get as a response to your question, which was already said a while back and why I'm not talking the question seriously.
Why is our hydra not a superior choice?
Titus and jjh can both tell you I can be extremely persuasive. @Mastina
I really don’t understand why people are selling us short.
Please don't put words in my mouth, particularly when my disagreement puts me in an awkward position
I haven't noticed you being persuasive in general to other people, and do not personally find you persuasive at all as I tend to focus on logic and your arguments frequently do not make any logical sense
Okay, I’ve been literally counting the minutes that I had to wait to respond to this garbage.
Did I or did I not lead an elim on scum!Bell? Yes Pooky made the case but it got rammed through because of ME! Ditto for Titus no fade but keep pushing this nonsense. I fucking dare you.

I can see it now if we don’t get stumped. Scum will kill all the slots who aren’t terrible at reading me and try to run us up.
I bet on it.
Who did they kill?

okay
To make things easier in the future, unless I'm personally motivated to do so, I'm not really into hunting down stuff that I'm told is self-evident (so when a hydra says one head should be clearly told from the other, that doesn't tend to work for me). So if you're trying to clue me into a post that already exists, be direct about it, don't play games and lead me around in circles.
anyway, to address the actual post, I feel like you are right to doubt the mastina scumread based on the meta being old, the play mastina is showing is pretty much par for the course these days, I'd say.
I won’t, I want a good role and will be open to suggestions.
btw to go back to this, I felt like the response to being told "no masons" was to dive into a pissed-off mood and be like "okay in that case here's less town PRs for y'all, I'm keeping the toys in the toy chest"
