New Rule: Replace the Word "Lynch" in Games

good move, although will take a bit of getting used to! Maybe we could just removing the killing altogether and say:

"Player X fled"?

I thought his point was the opposite? That if you stop people saying "lynch" in the online forum game, it would become a forbidden fruit and people would become obsessed with it and presumably find other ways to further their racist ideologies.

Eh, whatever. Given there have been several instances on this site of racially abusive behaviour, I'm perfectly cool with changing the lingo to improve the culture.

lore wise, i'd be incentivized to get voted up since I wouldn't risk death unlike with the mafia.

You're right...maybe the Mafia can just "remove from the town", rather than killing!

Non-violent mafia is what we want!
