Term Replacement: "Sanity"

[Ythan]

Jokes aside we've made some worthwhile terminology changes in the recent past.

[Ythan]

I'd agree if you said none rather than few.

[Ythan]

I think you're almost certainly right and also that there are better ways to tell if anyone is offended than just assuming, as ~20 years of site history shows. I think we broadly recognized when we did make changes that they were long overdue.

[Ythan]

(and policing established terms can alienate people on top of it)

So does a game about lynching.

So does a game about lynching.

so does a game about killing people in general

let's make it g rated with pillowfights

I don't think I need to relitigate this already won battle lol

[Ythan]

Isn't a pgo like a reflexive vig or some such. Here lemme uh

[Ythan]

Honestly I'd be in favor of this change even without the problems with the current term. Bomber really is just a variant of vig and defining it with a modifier, which might also be fun with other roles too, is just a good game design move I think.

Applies here too

[Ythan]

No you're actually wrong I just cross quoted from an entire existing thread addressing these same concerns you are indeed being dismissive of.

[Ythan]

Oh you edited your post after I responded to it I see.

Lots of people have been disagreeing about a variety of matters in both threads but you are being dismissive as well.

[Ythan]

So we shouldn't have discussions like this because you're triggered but nobody else matters? Yeah fuck off.

[Ythan]

What's the cause of your incessant bitching then

[Ythan]

This site has twenty years of history before your time which is probably a big part of why you're so ill equipped for this conversation.

[Ythan]

Read MY posts goon.

[Ythan]

Whatever dipshit

[Ythan]

In which mewling babes know just how the site should be run and damn the actual community

Preceding couple posts excluded

[Ythan]

in oversimplified terms

[Ythan]

For one lol what the fuck does your freedom of speech have to do with this conversation.

[Ythan]

The OP of this thread is looking for alternatives for words. Fuck off with your made up troll shit.

[Ythan]

Nobody ever said you babies have to change anything. That is your made up troll bullshit. The OP of this thread is just asking for suggestions. Fuck. Off. Trolls.

[Ythan]

I also have several (fairly mild) behavioral disorders. The terms used in Mafia don't really bother me.

Also calm down. Plenty of suggestions were given. You're the one pouring oil into the fire.

Nah troll.

TL your mechanical interpretations are consistently on point I blanket agree that any of the things you've suggested would be pretty ideal if necessary.

[Ythan]

Nobody ever said you babies have to change anything. That is your made up troll bullshit. The OP of this thread is just asking for suggestions. Fuck. Off. Trolls.

I will not fuck off because this thread is open for all discussion, even the ones that oppose your point of view. As a mafia player with a mental health condition, i dont want changes to the sanity terms that i've grown to use and love using in my 19 years of playing this game! 20 this October.

Then don't??? Who cares this thread has a purpose

[Ythan]

Thankfully the world doesn't revolve around you.

[Ythan]

Bye troll.

[Ythan]

But even the arguments for changing “suicide bomber” have ignored the possibility of it being offensive to Muslims, which imo would be a much better argument for changing that term than the reasons currently given (that said, I am not opposed to it being changed to “self-bomber”, which would address both concerns), yet I have not even heard that being offered up as a possible reason but that one I would support because it’s basis is comparable to the reasoning for changing “lynch”.

I was also wondering when someone was gonna bring that up. Maybe it goes without saying? I apparently felt so.

[Ythan]

Same I also find that angle pretty compelling.

[Ythan]

Honestly? Me too. I can actually see a Muslim get offended over this, unlike the other argument.

As I said in the other thread it would be better as a modifier applied to a vig.

Oh were you the one who said that

[Ythan]

I do love Betrayal.

[Ythan]

I do love Betrayal.

ya its a great game if frequently imbalanced due to reasons outside the players' control
works best with a large group of people with varying degrees of experience with the game

I think we'd call it swingy rather than fully imbalanced, unless you mean the characters, which imo is somewhat better.

[Ythan]

Do we find horror based in the creator's fear of their own tenuous sanity more acceptable than insanity used as a plot device solely for its narrative convenience? Has a bearing on at least one of the properties under discussion.

[Ythan]

Yeah.
