yall, there are some seriously disappointing takes here.
Caring about not making people uncomfortable or hurting them is never a bad thing. Filtering ourselves to be a more inclusive, welcoming community isn't hard.

It is currently assigned a heavily racial connotation. End of story, doesn't matter that it hasn't always, it matters that it does now and has a history of being used this way.
We all know the noose in the Nascar garage was racial and we all know why and that's why we should be removing it from the site.
The only heavy racial connotation associated with the word "lynch" is the one applied to it by sheltered (largely white) social justice warriors who want to promote some form of change in the world and can't figure out how to do it, so instead of just trying to be good, understanding human beings who try to hold themselves to a high standard and lead by example, they victimize themselves and minorities and put the blame on the way people speak.

still kind of agree that "eliminate" is too clinical and kind of runs contrary to the base theme of mafia games: town trying to find and rid themselves of the mafia via mob justice. both exile and execute are just better.

Canada is a very flawed country but you guys are a failed state where police can legally rob people on highways and people end up dead because they can't pay tens of thousands for health care and you have literal concentration camps but nah Canada is just as bad and mythologized. People around the world have stereotypes of Americans, it's not a Canadian thing, it's a you thing.
i don't think porkens was saying canada is just as bad. he was just bringing up an interesting thing he heard that was relevant to the conversation about how canada views themselves.

If you have questions about what that change will look like, those are appropriate posts, please do so, I am watching the thread for those questions! Opining about not making the change or wanting the decision reversed, or some combination thereof, are not really appropriate at this point. We know a tiny number of people oppose this change. We have heard the feedback, we even anticipated hearing that kind of feedback, but we've made the decision anyway to remove lynch from our mafia vocabulary.
Can there still be exceptions if the theme kinda involves the term?
...WHAT THEME GAME ARE YOU THINKING OF RUNNING THAT REQUIRES THIS WORD???
