Hey what's the current consensus on saying 'lynch'? It has been a while since i played, and I see people now saying lunch / cuddle... is this to avoid implications of the word, or what?

i was told recently that we're moving away from the word. probably because of sour memories associated w the word (at least in american history). nobody will get mad at you for using it as a player, but its at the point where i'd even venture to say that a *mod* using the term is a little uncouth now

Yeah "lynch" is an unsavory word IMO. Use it or not as you like, but there's an active contingent of folks who won't. I like "execute" as an alternative personally.

i appreciate lunch because of the phrase "steak lunch" but also because the terms mylo and lylo still make sense

"Lynch" slips through every so often out of habit, and I don't particularly think the word's racial connotations are as...commonly known or viewed, I guess, as some seem to think

but I do avoid it more than not because it makes other people uncomfortable and I'd rather slightly shift a small part of my vocabulary than hurt someone for whom the word is jarring

it just doesnt feel right to me. it should function as a verb and a noun, but "im really digging a 2penny axe" doesnt sound like an action, but rather a physical axe? "lunch" works cuz of similarity to the word that makes sense

Axe is totally a verb - but in that case i would say 'we all know a Steak axing is the right thing to do'.

Personally I like just using “kill” for everything, makes it easier.

Or as a mod I usually just use something flavoury

I'd been happy, and I was happy still. For all to be accomplished,
for me to feel less lonely,
all that remained to hope
was that on the day of my execution
there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should
greet me with howls of execration.

Maybe in ~March. I am gearing up to narrate a new audiobook (the sixth volume of the gay detective series I've narrated and ran a game about) which will keep me too busy until then.
