Lynching

[callforjudgement]

I support changing the name. I'm not sure that we as mafiascum are likely to enforce it (perhaps we should for newbie games), but I think it'd be a good idea to come to a different word. "Eliminated" is a pretty good word, but I wouldn't mind seeing various versions used by mods and see what sticks.

I've been using "eliminated" in rulesets where accuracy is required (referring to all ways in which a player can leave the game via the game mechanics, typically the vote during the day and the scum's factional night action). This is partly because if you use words like "killed" you have to start drawing a distinction between a player and a player character, to ensure that the rules don't attempt to kill people in real life. (Not that anyone would likely try to interpret them like that, but I don't like ambiguity.) "Eliminated" works because you can interpret it as referring to the player themself with no semantic methods.
