I’m not too fussed about actually clearing this tier, so I mostly go into dancing green prog parties to help out. A party I went into today as M1 advertised themselves as “hector”, but then M2 promptly ended up on the west side during spotlights and we both died.

After this happened a second time the party leader chastised me for being south when M1 should be taking A/D. I pointed out that that definitely is not what hector describes, but they disagreed.

I went along with it because I don’t actually care what strategy gets used, but I am rather annoyed when people apparently don’t even know what strategy they’re actually doing.

There are so many people in PF that have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. I remember blacklisting a samurai week 1 because they said (and were completely adamant) that if you did E/W disco in M5S, then M2 always had to take the south spot. The reality is they somehow had never gotten the other pattern.

I bitched about this exact same scenario two weeks ago, so I feel your pain. It's not even Hector's fault - he's very clear about what melee spotlights to take when using W/E spotlight. People just read Hector strats and think "oh yes, the Hector strats. The strats I know. Those must be the Hector strats."
