Looking at the word Lynch. Mafia uses the term sporadically to mean any town-created execution. In reality, if there is any trial, then perhaps execution is a better term. Lynching, from an academic standpoint, is what happens when the Judge and/or Marshall reveals there is no trial, just an execution. So, this may seem like nothing to most people on the site, but the verbiage has a negative connotation attached to it in the American South. Should we change it? Or at least to make it reflect the accurate usage of the word. As of now, it is used a lot, and it may signal an exclusive culture which is the opposite of what (I believe) staff is trying to accomplish.

Would the change be meaningful? Would the change be more inclusive and trigger less racism?

I in no way think we should abandon the term. History is History. Lynching happened, and we use it to mean death without a trial- except when we don't use it that way.

So why not accurately reflect that in the game?
