Decision regarding the use of the word “lynch”

The reason this whole thing started is because somebody used the word ‘lynch’ in an acceptable context and they decided to breach game integrity for it while they were losing.
They had previously used the word lynch.
I highly suspect it to be an excuse just to breach game integrity but you can research the thread for yourself if you’d like.

Nobody has actually used this word towards somebody as a racial demeanor.

Or even a threat

Listen
Y’all

I might be half asleep but I can’t help but notice things are being semi blown out of proportions, so I wanna step in and remind everyone that we are not punishing people for using the word lynch - we are just taking a public stance and asking that people take into consideration that it may offend others.

We aren’t forcing anyone to do anything, here
We are just suggesting

my understanding of the situation is that it’s less ‘someone broke game integrity because they were upset about the word, we need to ban the word to prevent people from blatantly violating game integrity’ and more ‘someone broke game integrity because they were upset about the word, everyone was like “…why are we still using this word when people have been expressing concerns about it for literal years”’

Here is the game thread for yourself to research.

This isn’t a suggestion if you’re going to enforce it on hosts
That would be a stance.

we’ve done nothing wrong and now we’re being forced to change cause oops! someone doesn’t like it for pretty much no reason

If a host really wants to edit the word lynch back into a post then we cant stop them

Nobody is going to be punished for it

I’m not privy to that much information on the happenings of other forums, but I can’t recall the issue ever being raised in such a scale beforehand

But we still describe vigilantes ‘Shooting’ people, ‘Serial killers’ stabbing and they leave targets ‘Dead’.

Some town killers if they kill town can end up ‘Committing suicide’

Personally feel like this is saying “its just fireworks lmao” to a veteran

holy shit wifi let me post please

reminds me of ici’s airship fm

pretty sure i was a shitty scum with shuri that game

who won that game anyway

If the game was about hunting African American families and ‘lynching’ them I’d understand
The game is about the Salem Witch trials; no ‘witches’ here are going to be offended. We are hanging witches. Not minority groups. Witches. There is a massive difference in context.

Me throwing fireworks near a veteran? Sure, jerk move. Should be banned.

Me enjoying fireworks in my own space and a veteran walks in demanding I stop? No.

I feel like ToL being an actual business and registered company affects this decision as well.

There is medical condition associated with that to veteran, is there not?
Their inability (I think that’s where this is going) to distinguish what happened there from fireworks is because of diagnosable medical issue

here’s one from 2019
