This is long and some people will probably just not read this but here is where I have had issues with Mastin.

Bulb looks town but I wouldn't say he's done anything that's alignment-indicative. (Hey, he's competent as scum.)
DOMO looks like scum to me.
DoubleSlap and Shiny are both town. KittyCupcake/Pasch both less so, but still basically townreads # 3/4.
farside22 is sitting at null, where to be honest she'll probably remain the whole game so I'm mainly going to sheep whoever I trust on her.
Total Wreck is as discussed likely town in spite of the suspicion I'd otherwise have on 'em.
And Romitelli is just plain ol' scum.
Leaves Aronis/Fuzzy/Phidragon, which probably is mostly town. (I'd say at MOST one scum in there, but could be all town.)
The first is good. I actually liked her list just fine.
Where I started wondering and slipping down a notch was the little things I saw she never did.

As a really rough approximation.
Reads that didn't match what was said after. This had bulba higher but she gets very defensive when the read is called out.

The back and forth between tw and her was pretty garbage scum hunting and inquiry from kcc
Quite the opposite: the kcc-tw interaction couldn't have been more town-town.
In post 187, Bulbazak wrote:Do you have some experience with House that would back this assertion up?
If you want hard, physical links, no, I do not. Like I'd remember the games. But, yes. I've had plenty of games where I've read and House was a player that back this up. Add in Titus, which you also know to be somewhat-accurate (she rarely gets lynched when scum without PR results on her these days--which are admittedly fairly common), and you've got both halves of the hydra that I can make this statement about assuredly. They wouldn't be getting wagoned like this if they were actually scum.
In post 122, mastin2 wrote:I didn't say they were scummy; I said they were scum. Which I know because of my VAST wealth of experience, and me seeing things nobody else sees. You want me talking about people who're scummy (though probably not scum), well, then, that'd be the Total Wreck of a hydra.
Semantics are cute and all, but this is a non-answer. Try again.
That was no mere semantics debate. When I said I meant scum, not scummy, it carried weight. TW is scummy. I don't think TW is scum. I am as sure as I'll let myself be that Romitelli is scum, and I have a fair amount of confidence (albeit not as much as I'd prefer) that DOMO is scum as well. I answered like that rather deliberately, by the way. (I have my reasons.) Needless to say, you can trust me.
Romitelli will flip scum. I'm not bothering to explain why right now, but that doesn't change the accuracy of the statement.
The confidence in this read so early really bothered me. Like how can anyone be sure, that sure.
And frankly when I read the back and forth between romi and mastin. Romi attacked mastin for her rvs vote (which by the way is a newb scum reaction when it is that in your face) but she doesn't really get pissy back. the posting from her is like he is a pest she could care less about.

Updated. Note my Bulb read hasn't really changed that much, just my evaluation of where said read is. I place him underneath Aronis/Phidragon, yet all three names there are interchangeable. Note also that my Pasch read hasn't changed: my TW read just got upgraded, and I reassessed the placement of farside to be slightly higher, plus Pine hanging out at the next-best thing to a PINE category positionally-wise.
Bulba moves down all the sudden. It was moved down very dramatically.

Part
of my case.
The other parts are, basically, what was noted on the first page:
...Plus combined with Rom's posting just being overall forced and not blending in naturally.
There's more to it, of course, but gotta go.
We have more on Romi but no where do you see anything posted about this until way, way later.
Just keep reading and you will see.

Just sayin'.
Kitty's town. Simple.
{farside22, Aronis, Shiny Hydreigon, Eckleburg} might have one scum on it as a result.
Here we have the kcc wagon where she has someone on the wagon as scum but never analysis's the wagon at all.
If you think the player is town why not look for who is scum on the wagon?
Below you see Pine was forgotten but same thing. No really motivation to search, just a post to post.

Oh here is the post where mastin posted her reason. Suddenly again as bulba starts to prod at mastin he is scum and she is pushing is lynch.

Seeing as how you were scum in Chain of Command,the other game where Wisdom ruthlessly tunneled me, this statement definitely stands out. Town Mastin should know better than to say this knowing that I seem to be perpetually on Wisdom's tunnel list. This looks more like you fanning the flames.
You might recall I actually WKed you in CoC for the towncred and buddying to you. (And because antagonizing Wisdom is always masochistic fun when I'm scum.
) Situation's not identical, true, but what's the scum motivation in me acting in an entirely-different manner?
I'm fanning the flames on you because, surprise! I actually think you're scum.
That's some hardcore buddying.
Yes, it is. Dealwithit.
Also, might as well do this.
VOTE: Bulbazak.
Why is the quoted from TW a scum tell against Bulba?

^Just a quick note I wanted to make to myself.
~Town on someone otherwise might not be.
~Read on someone else might be different.
~Totack Wreck wagon very not-town.
~Kitty wagon not great town-wise either.
Again, if these become relevant, I'll explain.
Then we get the fake anger that comes from no where. Someone said, hey mastin your reads are crap. I would say yeah that might get this reaction. Someone saying you are just pointing null stuff and you get this.........I'm saying over reaction.

Because as scum, it's all a fucking lie and thus, what I say is fake no matter what.
No.
I can't.
Tempting as it may be, I stopped lying circa 2012 as town. (A fact Pine might not have known about me, but which is true all the same. Like I said. Few if any see the same things I do.)
I can't tell you some fucking bullshit because all I've got is what. fucking. happened.
New list.....why the hell is aronis so high up? eck is POE, what happened to the KCC wagon?

There's one or two inaccuracies, but close enough.
Just more fake anger. I don't recall if/who or what caused the first suspicion of mastin but being called fake and reading as fake should not be scummy to someone who reads as uninvolved and not really interacting.

YES I FUCKING HAVE.
His posting was a cliched random vote opener.
He has not put in a morsel of effort into scumhunting.
His posting has all been incredibly forced attempts to blend in.
His SOLE contribution to the game was a push on Kitty...which was a CARBON FUCKING COPY of farside's own Kitty push.
Romi is scum.
Bulba you just sheeped me.
FUJCK YOU, WISDOM.
I DID NOIT FUICKIN G SHEJEOP BULBASAK.
I amk VERY possessive of my fucking scumreads.
I am nnot afraid to humble it up and admit it when I've taken cues from others.

DON'T.

When people tryh to fucking steal MY reads as if thehy're fucking dupilcate.s
I scufmread him FRIST.
Not you.
Nogt fuckin g you.
So go fuck yourslef.
He is not fucking town.
I've known this from my very first fucking poost referencing him.
I made it clear he wasn't fucking town.
And if you wanted to talk about that, Pasche and Pine make much more sense for this role for reasons already explained.
FUCK THAT SHIT.
I'll "bus" PASCH IN A FUCKING HEARTBEAT.
And if Pine was my fucking scumbuddy, we'd be fucking hardcore defending each other because PINE WAS AP BEFORE AP FUCKING EXISTED. And you BETTER know about my goddamned AP interaction. It's the same damn one I had with zMuffinman. Pine was my original fucking frenemy. You can bet your ASS that if I was scum with him I wouldn't place him in fucking NULL.

Simple as that.

I choose the wording in my posts quite fucking carefully. When I said that I had reevaluated what my fancy-null meant...that fucking meant that he had been effectively bumped down even though the (not-great, at risk of going down further) read was the same.
Yes, he wasn't as much of a fucking scumread as DOMO or Romi were.
But he WAS a fucking scumread. He was a fucking scumread by virtue of not being a fucking townread. By looking town with content yet not feeling town from it. He didn't feel like scum at the time, but by not fucking feeling town he might as well have been.
I.

More accurate depiction of the reads, when I think about it. Keep in mind, though, most of the people in the categories are interchangeable: Shiny's REALLY obvtown, Total Wreck's equally so, Kitty's just plain town, and so's DoubleSlap; I could tinker endlessly on the order there. Aronis/farside22/DOMO are also about equal. (Eckleberg could move higher or lower depending on the slot's next postings.) The scumreads I've been equally at war with. If I posted this same list again, it might be in an entirely different order. Obviously, one of them is town (at minimum), but I can't tell which.

Rough approximation.
I think just from the above a lot of things change without much reasoning. Romi, moved and what bothers me the most. What I struggle with the hardest reading Mastin is that her comment about Romi is right on. It was exactly what I have been saying repeately in the game.
But when she says something it is just he's scum and you should all listen to me. It feels a bit sinister. Instead of selling the case she keeps holding off and holding off and the more she holds off other things happen in the game and people are like, Romi who?
Her reactions to being called out reads over the top because people are calling her out on her game play. It's exactly what it is, very, very guarded and low key.
Once someone calls her out she gets active and get over the top of how dare you even though she stated that people calling her out on her game play would not bother her.
As I said she does those little things that just look like posting to post. The vote count comment about Kcc and never anaylsising it.
The comment about Romi that took till Bulba asked her about it that she posted her issues.
The times she just comes out is when she is called out. it definitely reads of someone who is reading along the game and not responding till necessary which I never find town motive or reasoning for.
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.
