I was against yeet at first, but it feels like enough people have joked about it already that it's unlikely to get confused with any other meaning. And I'm frankly tired of trying to come up with something different. I'll prefer something silly to something bland any day of the week.

Vote: Yeet

Only fools are satisfied.

I have seen this same discussion play out on multiple forums and discords and this is the best suggestion I have seen so far.

People already use "flip" in mafia games to refer to the act of revealing a player's role during the day via lynch. It's already a synonym for lynch from a mechanical standpoint that is in pretty wide use. It's violent in some ways (the idea of flipping over a dead body) but not racial in any way and not even violent on its face to an outsider looking in.

Edit: Maybe not. People will say stuff like "Jack got vig killed and he flipped wolf. Let's go find his partners" so it becomes duplication of language for two separate mechanics.


Edit Edit: This has mostly been talked over but I think there's some early thread conflating of different things.

Players vote during the day. Previously, the L word would be used sometimes in place of "vote: player." This practice should stop. That's easy.

Hosts do their own writeups. Players were previously checked out, dried up, L worded etc. Hosts can still do whatever as long as they don't use the L word. Pretty easy. And flavor is a good thing!

The key reason for this discussion is that there still exists a need to describe the mechanic of players voting a player out of the game during the day. I'm willing to bet people weren't talking about who they should dry out in Kness's game so that's entirely separate from host language. Similarly, there is a difference between talking about voting a player and voting a player out of the game so I think it's entirely separate from what players say when they vote.

Absurd.

There are 165 communitiens playing in the MafiaUiverse championship this year. Ultimate Werewolf released 2 years ago. Mafia is literally at the height of its popularity.

Dozens of violent video games and movies come out every year. Why would mafia be targeted in this way?

You only yeet the ones you love?

Yeah, this tracks.
