Can we move away from saying lunch too? Like I don't really know if we can pat ourselves on the back for moving away from using lynch if we are just changing one letter and saying the same thing but coded.

I feel 1000% the same way.

“Lunch” feels like you’re trying to sneakily get away with saying a bad word. I would rather just not invoke the concept at all in my escapist dumb forum lying game.

I also prefer not to have “cops” (cops are awful and I don’t want to pretend to be one in my dumb forum lying game) and I always call them “seers” instead but that hasn’t seemed to catch on here.

i have no clue what an “IK” is and I absolutely refuse to find out, sounds dumb. Anyway what were u all talking about?

seriously though what are we even talking about there seems to be a general tone of “we are having an argument” but I cannot for the life of me discern a substantive thing that is being by argued about lol

At least in mafia I know we are vaguely arguing about who’s scum 😅

I'm happy enough to just go with the majority but we avoid the use of 'lynch' because the bad connotations are potentially triggering or unwelcoming.

I broadly think that lunch is both sufficiently commonplace as a word and obviously ridiculous in context here to avoid both of these circumstances.

And from there I favour the least restriction on language as is reasonable.

Like what do you need to do to make this work? I have basically 0 tech knowledge but if it's just putting down cash for a hosting site then I'm willing to pay a monthly sub or whatever for mafia.

I’m not actually trying to ‘restrict’ anyones language but just noting that when I (a non-black person of color in the US) see people use the word ‘lunch’ in the lying game on the overwhelmingly white forum I think “hey look a (probably) white person is going out of their way to avoid saying ‘lynch’”

Having to have this thought feels a bit cringe and annoying and distracting when I’m trynna relax and be an evil scum

If that matters to you, you may consider using a different word

Again, not advocating for a ‘restriction,’ but hoping ya might be sympathetic to this
