I mean its by far the most PC

#303

it also gives the impression that the one voted is having a temper tantrum…

…

…which is more accurate than i previously assumed

#304

If they are aware of the context, then why do they dislike it exactly? It can’t be because it’s historically charged, they should know that we aren’t using it like that.

#305

But again, this topic is for discussing the implementation of the transition and I see the arguments for culture-first before software which I’m thinking over.

This is not the place for “I disagree with having the transition in the first place”.

#306

I mean it makes sense that you would put a culturally insensitive word like guillotine in the list since they obviously didn’t consider every culture in the world’s history of words before playing a friendly game of mafia

i disagree with the methodology behind deciding that it needs to change.

i dont disagree that it needs to change.

i think most of us can agree that either ‘execute’ or ‘timeout’ are suitable depending on how friendly the game is meant to be

#308

Well if you don’t provide a place for us to speak, then we shall use the platform intended for “Now that we are in agreement that it should be changed…”

#309

We think it’ll non-negatively affect medium to long term growth so we’re making the change.

#310

Even execute is too violent. May as well go full Barney

#311

You can’t use Barney, something something criminal!

#312

Execute for #no-holds-barred games.
TK or Exile for games with no specific tag.
Timeout for #friendly games.

#313

I liked (I think tn’s?) idea of having a similar functionality to when you try to post something with no text.

Think that probably gets the job done, if that’s feasible?

I will actually lynch you if you use seriously use TK in a game.

#315

Indicate it as a warning while still allowing it to post, in case someone does a history themed game where it makes sense to use the L word.

#316

reported, surrender at 15.

#317
