> [@AllWalker](#): > > In regards to the Gasterd elements of this game, it is hard to speculate on what they are until something really weird happens. I’m waiting for a player who only posts in riddles or a lynch where the vote results are inverted or something, but until then I’m reluctant to guess. Then again, I have never played or watched a Gasterd Mafia game before, so my guesses would probably be wildly off anyway. And to top it off, though I’ve been fairly nice in answering questions so far, don’t expect many more confirmed truths to be forthcoming, since someone will eventually ask a question that might hit upon the gastardness, and my silence or lack of truth tags could implicitly confirm the observation. So unless the question involves something that is clearly broken in the game and needs to be addressed to avoid the game going completely off the rails (and should the game do so, it’s NAF’s fault), don’t expect much more help from me. ---

Well, I’ll say what we pretty much go through every time. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how we lynch on Day One that is anything better than chance? ---

No, of course we don’t, especially in this kind of game. So let’s spend hours and hours not talking about it like usual, shall we? And then let’s lynch whoever wastes his or her time the least by not talking about it the most? ---

And why do you think NAF is french? … How do you write “I wish I did this and that”? … How would **peekercpa** write that sentence within this thread? And for asking about **NAF** ’s frenchness you should have a wooden rabbit thrown on your head. ---

Weird though. By the way he phrased his vote, I’d have thought he’d get the reference. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Vote \*\*DiggitCamara \*\*because he’s voting for an odd reason and because I want to totally buck the trend of the evil scummy one being third on a bandwagon. FOS for both conforming to a trend and trying to buck a trend. Wait, what? Okay, ignore me… Wait! Don’t ignore me yet! If b]peeker\*\* has a restriction, it involves not using capitals and not making sense. But then, who is making sense yet? I dunno, it’s possible - but nothing happened Night 0, so how would he have picked up the restriction? Part of the Role PM? Randomly chosen by mods? Okay, ignore me now. ---

I just think it’s odd that **DiggitCamara** thinks it’s SO obvious. Not necessarily suspicious, just hella weird. And **Diggit** ’s a good first vote. He’s certainly stirring the pot. ---

Peeker’s comments look very much like peekers normal comments, I’m not seeing the posting restriction at all. \*\*Vote DiggitCamara \*\* An explanation of why you think he has a posting restriction would be helpful. ---

ltl, as always but … non votes = not good, normally. non votes = real bad, this game. since this is a short turnaround game. **vote texcat** inconsistencies are bad. **naf** being french and newts, dontyaknow. it was in the same movie, fcs.
