===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=16260 Lovers Mafia]===
Because of the large number of games she has been in, this section now has its own page, [[Mastin2 Games]].
The debut of the account in a solo-game, mastin2 replaced in during lylo and (thanks to having incredibly-skilled scumbuddies) cruised to an easy scum win.
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=15968 Outdoosmen Mafia 2]===
A hydra game with [[Nachomamma8]] in [[Calcifer]]. Western Mafia Goon. A multiscum game, Empking gave the town a fighting chance by giving a cop guilty on both [[Parama]] and Calcifer. The game was still ultimately a scum win for Mastin's faction, thanks to [[Iamausername]] being a godfather, and playing scum well.
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=17231 Mirror Mafia]===
A hydra game with [[Nachomamma8]] in [[Calcifer]]. [[Vanilla Townie]]. A multiscum game, Calcifer ended up nightkilled just as they began to potentially be a threat to the black mafia, who [[Pine]] was a member of. Pine's mafia faction ultimately won 3p lylo. Notable as being one of the first games where Mastin showed her bad habit of taking on a work load far too great for such a simple task, promising extensive analysis on the entire playerlist.
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=16961 Mafia On Werewolf Island]===
Mafia [[Doctor]].A multiscum game.  Mastin went into the game and hard-bussed both of her scumbuddies, [[T-Bone]] and [[Nachomamma8]]. She also breadcrumbed [[Cop]], certain that role was not in the game. It was, and when she counterclaimed the actual cop, she condemned her faction to death. She tried to recover by truthfully claiming her doctor role, but was lynched on suspicion of being a Werewolf. It is notable in being a founding game in her refusal-to-bus philosophy, and also an example of her biting off a larger work-load than she could chew.
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=17759 Into Africa]===
Though officially listed as one of her games, Mastin had almost no part in this, having suffered a mental breakdown at the time and verging on site flaking. She was once again technically a member of [[Calcifer]], the hydra with [[Nachomamma8]].
 
 
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=23561 Discworld Mafia]===
A hydra game with [[Nachomamma8]] in [[Calcifer]]. Mafia Goon. Though a solid showing, ultimately, Calcifer was yet again undone by a Cop Guilty on them that they could not fight against. The game was ultimately called in a controversial town victory, thanks to the last scum flaking the day before lylo.
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=25573 Adventure Time Mafia]===
A hydra game with [[Nachomamma8]] in [[Calcifer]]. [[Beloved Princess]]-[[Inventor]].
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=24421 Happy Tree Friends]===
A hydra game with [[Nachomamma8]] in [[Calcifer]]. [[Informed Townie]]. The target of Calcifer's information, [[D3x]], was daykilled by the mafia almost immediately into the game. The mafia killed Calcifer night one. The game is notable for how it was a landslide town victory, with the town scumhunting the scum into a corner effectively and using their roles well.
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=29163 NY 165: A Large Normal]===
A hydra game with [[Nachomamma8]] in [[Calcifer]]. [[Vanilla Townie]]; killed night two. Ran at the same time as Mini 1465.
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=29468 Mini 1465: RRatRBS: CoaS]===
A hydra game with [[Nachomamma8]] in [[Calcifer]]. The game was role madness, with every player having multiple abilities, costing energy to use. Calcifer had the ability to transfer energy to another ability; the target player would receive half the sent amount. They also had a modified-[[Paranoid Gun Owner]] ability that would drain a player's energy to zero. They also had a modified roleblock. They were killed N1. Ultimately a town win thanks to the scum outting themselves in the hopes of winning with the survivor.
 
===[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=31053 Fire Emblem: Awakening]===
Though a hydra game with [[Nachomamma8]] in [[Calcifer]], Mastin played only a very small role in the game, unable to keep up effectively with the high volume of posting. Town Doctor; killed night seven. Married [[Ellibereth]] and had the child [[Maemuki]] (later, [[Titus]]), who they had a neighborhood with. Notable as another strong town performance.
 
 
===Marathon Games===
Though Mastin does not currently play in marathon games, she has had some.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18041 Lucid Dreamers III]====
A dreamer. Eventually, Mastin correctly called Oversoul scum, but got killed before day ended.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18045 Sudo's Vengeful Mafia]====
A vengeful townie. Last town survivor, as there were three scum rather than two. Mastin correctly called one scum D1 who got vengekilled, but only got another scum behind a town player, who shot town.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18050 UPick]====
Town [[Roleblocker]]. Mastin voted scum correctly on D1, but lost because she assumed that [[chamber]] was town D2, and incorrectly read [[Nikanor]] as town.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18049 Twisted Odd One Out]====
Cult Recruiter. Mastin targeted [[Oversoul]] immediately, and died as a result, losing.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18053 Lucid Dreamers 4]====
A dreamer. Mastin incorrectly assumed Oversoul was scum again, but [[PBuG]] made himself obviously scum in lylo.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18052 Nomination Mafia]====
A mafia goon. Mastin defied her no-bussing rule for one of the first times in this game. Notable as being an actually-respectable (rather than quick joke) game. She set herself up to die, causing [[Nikanor]] to cruise to victory.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18055 Human Body Mafia]====
A vanilla townie. Mastin correctly voted both scum, but got distracted by claims. She was killed N1.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18056 Smalltown: Greek Mythology Marathon]====
A one-shot [[Bulletproof]]. Game is notable for having the players choose which role they wanted, and each player having an alignment. Game also had a moderator error that resulted in the roles being redrawn.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18084 Post Restriction Mafia]====
A cop, with the restriction of needing to post nothing but questions. Mastin was sorely disappointed she received such an easy restriction. She received a cop guilty on [[Maxous]] N1. She also investigated [[Juls]] (scum) N2, but was nightkilled.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18086 JOIN THIS GAME FOR VIGGING]====
Mafia Day-vig. Another instance of Mastin implicating an unwise bus, she shot her partner immediately into D1. She managed to ride the towncredit into lylo, but ultimately could not pull off the win.
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18203 Lucid Dreamers 16]====
Mastin was hilariously-obvious scum, who had no understanding of how nightmares worked...as a nightmare. She even asked about them in-thread!
 
====[http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=18213 9P Vengeful]====
Vengeful townie. Mastin, due to a horrible misunderstanding of the setup, lynched herself thinking there was a gamebreaking strategy. There wasn't. She did catch three of the four scum immediately, however the fourth scum eluded her.

Revision as of 00:15, 20 February 2014

mastin2 is an alt created by Mastin on her scumday, October Eighth. At the time, she had left the site from regular play, and no longer felt comfortable using the name Mastin. She created an alternate account, mastin2, because it was a name she was more comfortable being, and resolved to use it if she ever decided to return to playing, redeeming her past failures in the effort. When she did return, she played a few names under the name Mastin to prepare for the switch, ultimately making it slightly early after making a promise--a gambit, a bet, she lost, but followed through on. Aside from a couple of brief vacations, she has been playing consistently under the name since 2011.


Disclaimer: Abandon ship! Abandon ship! Wiki is horribly out of date, and Mastin does not wish to go through the effort of editing in her 130+ game history.

A project to update this wiki page is currently under way.

Name

Contrary to popular belief, "mastin2" is not "Mastin" with a 2 added to the end. (That would be Mastin2.) The name mastin2 comes from the Artix Entertainment forums, Mastin's point of origin, where she was originally known by that name. She referred to herself as Mastin, and thus, used that name when migrating to mafiascum.net, but she feels more comfortable as the original name.

Usage

After going on hiatus in 2009, Mastin decided to create an account on her scumday to use upon her return, to feel more comfortable as a player. However, Mastin feared she was a Village Idiot still when returning initially, and did not want to taint her new account's name. Newbie 1024 marked her return to the site, but she did not use the name mastin2 until he was more comfortable, after There Will Be Bloodshed. Though a bit premature (as certain games demonstrated), she was settled in enough to risk it. Lovers Mafia marked her first game under the new name.

Games

Mastin has approximately 120 confirmed games between alts, hydras, and her main. Though she has promised to update this wiki section eventually, it is not a project she has in mind for the near-future. In approximate chronological order, an incomplete list of games is being compiled.

Because of the large number of games she has been in, this section now has its own page, Mastin2 Games.

Modding

Mastin has completed two games under the name mastin2, a Mini Normal and a Large Normal. These are, respectively, Mastin's Mafia and Maniacal Street Mafia.

As with the Games section above, she has promised updates in the distant-future. However, she has a few games planned, though she has no intention of running any of them in the immediate future.

In Final Stages

Weekday Mafia

A Mini Theme planned as Mastin's next game, to follow the completion of Maniacal Street Mafia.

More RPG Mafia

An ambitious open mini theme setup Mastin has planned and has partially reviewed, to once again attempt an RPG mechanic in a mafia game that can work. It has not yet come to full fruition.

A (name yet to be fully determined) Micro Game

A fun little game Mastin has had partially reviewed, but has not been finished.

TVTropes Mafia, Mini Theme

Note: Mastin did not create this setup. She saw in Twistedspoon's signature "Coming Soon: TVTropes Mafia (in brainstorming phase)" and asked to come into the project. Since then, she has been among the setup's designers, but she did not create the game or the idea.

Coming Eventually

A currently unnamed Large Theme

Planned to follow Weekday Mafia.

Mastin's Mostly Mountainous Mean Mod Mafia (Mini Theme)

A case of delivering exactly what it promises, the setup is mostly mountainous. The elements which are not mountainous are bastard modding, which Mastin prefers to call "Mean Modding" ever since Battle Mage's Mean Mod game.

Writer's Mafia, Mini Theme

An old idea of Mastin's, which she is a bit anxious to revive.

EpicMafia, Mini (Theme)

Mastin spent a significant amount of her career on EpicMafia, and is not ashamed to admit it. She misses the old EpicMafia, and wishes to create a game (or series of games) inspired by favorite setups of hers on EpicMafia.

  • Mastin Guarantees that the setup's inspiration will not come from any setup made after 2009. 2009 is where Mastin did most of her playing, so the setup will have been 2009 or older.
  • As fun as they are, most third party roles on EpicMafia are practically a taboo on MafiaScum.net. Mastin guarantees that the (first, at least) EpicMafia game will not contain any third party roles other than possibly Serial Killer.
  • Mastin intends for the setup to be semi-open, in that the exact wording of all Role PMs and how their actions will be displayed is known. Things like "A bullet hits your vest! You cannot survive another hit!" And as close to the role's EpicMafia description as she can get.
  • Working from the above, Mastin intends to keep the flavor the same rough level as well--one-liners in the format of "X, a Y, has died a bloody death."
  • Some roles which work great on EpicMafia just don't transition well into forum mafia. For instance, short of forcing everyone in the game to sign up as a mod-given alt, there's no way to pull off the EpicMafia's Disguiser role. Other roles which might theoretically work such as the Yakuza are still not that viable.
  • Mastin has a general idea of which setups she'll be adapting, but she is still very much open to suggestions. PM mastin2 if you have interest in furthering this idea of hers.

Distant Future

Majesty Mafia, Large Theme

Based on the old computer game Majesty (and Majesty: The Northern Expansion), Mastin is currently in the planning phases of this game. Please PM her or leave a comment on this wiki page if you are interested in this project.

Life of a Mortal Mafia, Mini Theme

Mastin plans to time it so that she moderates this game as close to the release date of her novel as she possibly can, as a celebration, a "grand opening" of sorts. She won't do it before the novel comes out, and would prefer to have no more than a month between the novel coming out and moderating. The setup's details are more or less in her head, but they are still far from solid.

Signatures

Mastin tends to prefer to keep her signatures the same, but does occasionally have them changed.

First Signature

[i]We let bad dominate us. We all have good in us. Question is, when doing bad, is it silent, or is it [b]created[/b]? Is it there, or formed after a bad deed? No matter what, one thing remains: The thing we seek most...is redemption...[/i]

^Made after Mastin's retirement, this signature was essentially meant to show Mastin's eventual goal: she wanted to become a good player, to redeem herself for the negative reputation she had gained.

Second Signature

  • Mastin's second signature was created by two events occurring simultaneously: Tricycle Mafia and a Mini Game, both which boosted her confidence in herself and made herself feel like an accomplished scumhunter, albeit one who was still growing. The signature is:

Must I say it? I am Mastin. My Motivation is to stop Moronic towns from Mislynching. M'kay? (Yes, I like the letter M. :P)

"It's not my job to be convincing; it's my job to be [b][i]right[/i][/b]."

  • The first half refers to something about Mastin's style of play she discovered in There Will Be Bloodshed, which continued into Mirror Mafia. (Both times as Calcifer.) Mastin might occasionally stop a scum lynch, but far more often than not, she halts "Moronic Mislynches", on easy targets.
  • The second half refers to Mastin's lack of communication skills. While she is well aware she's frequently on to something, she lacked the charisma to get people to follow him.

Variants

Mastin's Second Signature was in place for a long time. As such, it developed and evolved to include more in it.

  • I'm a wallcaholic.
    • This piece of the signature was added after a comment from Nachomamma8 in Werewolf Island sparked Mastin to realize that Walling is, indeed, akin to an addiction to her. Unable to resist the urge to turn it into a pun, she soon created this saying, and figured it would be best added to her signature.
  • [i]I'm a fountain of knowledge; vast experience allows me to teach. You best listen to me, or later wish you had.[/i]
    • This final piece of Mastin's signature refers to an old aspect of Mastin which was recently revived, at the end of Mirror Mafia: Mastin loves to teach. Mastin has stated in the past, "if there is one thing I can take Pride in, it's Teaching". To honor this, she thought it was definitely signature-worthy. With one of the highest game counts of any Scummer, during which she has covered the full spectrum of "best town scumhunter" all the way to "worst VI ever", her multiple experiences as scum, her time away from the site pondering new strategies, her reading up on older games, her memorization of the wiki, and her fondness for MD, Mastin has a lot of wisdom, a unique insight into the game allowing her to teach even some experienced veterans a few new tricks. Additionally, this add-on to her signature also tied into the original part, about being right--she often believed people would regret not having listened to her later, when Mastin was telling them exactly what they needed to do.

Current Signature

At a later time, Mastin changed her signature into an advertisement for her webcomic, The Descended, linking to it with the link text titled the comic's sub-header. She also includes a disclaimer in her signature that she is permanently V/LA over weekends, due to her other commitments. The signature also currently links to the Mastin Academy and her GTKAS thread.

Quotes

Mastin has had a lot said about her since the switchover. Memorable instances will be placed here.


Mastin's walls were epic. He had me almost convinced, and I knew from the mod that he was scum.---Pine.

Hiatus

Mastin wanted to post this message in her signature, but had to cut it back due to the character limit:

When playing [url=http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18344]as scum[/url], [url=http://www.quicktopic.com/46/H/bRM7pMfaf3kNZ]I realized[/url] that my play had degraded to a level resembling the very Village Idiot [url=http://mafiascum.net/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=10169]I swore to never be again[/url].

This realization means that I will not be playing in any new games, except for on request and/or as a hydra. I will still be modding (a LOT :P), I'll finish all of my current games and give them my all, but consider me effectively semi-retired until I complete this soul-search.


The game linked to--Flash Mafia3--describes in great detail the similarities between new-mastin2 and old-Mastin, and how they are too close for Mastin's level of comfort. She swore not to leave the site, nor allow herself to get too rusty, but vowed not to join any new game by herself. This tactic of only playing by request has lasted even into her current games, since she still primarily plays on request of others through PMs.


Mastin has since retired from modding, also with the intention of resuming later, thanks to realizing it was too stressful for her to maintain in her current state. However, she has since picked up the slack and begun getting involved with MD heavily.

Mafia Discussion

Mastin is currently in the process of writing a book on MD theory, to cover all of her work over the years. Initial stages began on July 25th, 2013. As of that date, she has currently been nominated for the Professor Mafia scummy owing to her work during 2013 that she hopes to put into the book.

The majority of her work can be found in the link at the bottom of this page, under the category "MastinMD".

Gender

Mastin prefers to be called by the female gender, as of her reveal on February 7th, 2014. As such, material previous to that date may refer to her as a he.

Comments

Mastin asks that any and all comments for mastin2's Wiki Page to please remain in this section, where they are easier to track.

ETL says: "Hello ILY! <3"
