> [@Chronos](#): > > By the way, what precisely is or was the Gastard game? I’ve heard reference to it as having a particularly sadistic moderator, but I don’t think I ever saw it myself. Moderators, actually. A Bastard Mod game is a game where the mods will actively screw with the players. For example, there was a third-party role who could target one player each Night and player rock-paper-scissors with them. If the third-party won the game, the loser had a post restriction for the rest of the game that they had to talk in [del]lolkat[/del] lolcat. Every scum player in the game was actually playing for a solo victory(each scum thought that they were the sole “traitor”). One player could only vote during the day; they weren’t allowed to say anything. So on, on so forth. They called it the “Gastard” game because of an incident in the Batman game. A player claimed to have a post restriction that they had to replace all b’s in their posts with g’s. There was a lot of complaining about gastard mods at the time(ironically, role claim was false). ---

Ah, OK, I figured that “gastard” was related to “bastard”, somehow. I take it then that “the gastard game” **Nanook** referred to was the Batman game which spawned the term? And while we’re at it, do any Blackhearts feel like volunteering to be modkilled? I won’t complain, honest. 🙂 ---

No, there was a “Bastard mod”-style game that they actually called the “Gastard game”. Batman wasn’t a bastard-mod game. ---

[quote=“Meeko, post:1553, topic:494271”] Peeker has not answered my question about soft claiming that he knows Mahaloth better than we do. He is ignoring the question. Why is he ignoring the chance to claim? 1.He is scum, and is not going to claim, because it would mean an easy lynch. 2.He is vanilla townie, but he is lying. not a good move on his part, given the towns current perception of him. \*\*The fact remains, if he does not successfully claim a town power role, he IS being anti town. \*\* > [@](#): > > jesu christo. are you constipated, or what? i am just getting back on to the board. > > ok, let me know if this is how this game plays on this board cut me out.

I don’t know if **peeker** is necessarily scum, but he does seem to be antitown. And I doubt I convince myself, let alone others, of a scummier player. Peeker, if you have a role, you might want to claim. **vote peeker** ---

Does anyone else remember pickup baseball games as a kid, where you didn’t have enough players, and so ended up with “ghost runners” on bases? For some reason, that’s what **paul** reminds me of. In any event, he’s dangerous right now, because here it’s the fourth Day, and we know absolutely nothing about him. For toDay, I’m still more worried about **peeker** , about whom we know bad things, but unless **paul3.0** contributes a Hell of a lot before toMorrow, I think we need to seriously consider lynching him. And I presume that he’s still not allowed to discuss any of his previous incarnations? And further that he hasn’t been following the Forbidden Thread?
