Mafia Vocabulary

Here are some terms currently missing from the "Vocab" function in mafia games.

In-Game Terminology:

AtE: Appeal to Emotion An argument intended to get a vote onto or off of a player by using arguments centered around emotion rather than logic.

Inno: Innocent Refers to a Cop or Tracker report that would indicate that someone is aligned with the village.

FoS: Finger of Suspicion When one player notices another player acting suspiciously, they may say that they “FoS” that player. Generally, this is used in place of voting a player that you think may be sided with the mafia, in order to let everyone be aware of your suspicion.

Guilty: Refers to a Cop or Tracker report that would indicate that someone is aligned with the mafia.

GY: Graveyard.

LYLO: Lynch or Lose A situation that forces the Town to lynch the mafia or else they lose the game.

Lynch: To lynch a player is to have the majority of votes on them so that they go to the Graveyard.

Meteor: A function of the game where, if during three straight days and nights, if nobody is lynched or killed, a giant meteor crashes down onto the village and nobody wins. The meteor will crash down either at day or at night--whichever phase started the no-lynching or no-killing first.

MYLO: Mislynch and Lose A situation in which, if the Town lynches wrong, then the mafia will win. Lynching no one is still an option for the village during MYLO, however.

NC: Not Carolled A term used to let people know that you do not have or did not receive a carol. Commonly used in setups with Caroler.

NG: Not Gunned A term used to let people know that you do not have or did not receive a gun. Most commonly used in setups with Gunsmith, Santa, or another role which gives guns.

NK: No Kill. A mafia tactic in which the mafia team decides to intentionally kill nobody.

NL: No Lynch The majority of the players vote "no one" during the day.

PoE: Process of Elimination Can be used as a method of determining a lynch pool or an FoS pool.

Pocket/Whiteknight: When a player TRs someone for the sole purpose of them not wanting to be FoS'd or voted by that player

Townie/Town: An action committed by a player that you believe makes them more likely that they are sided with the village.

Scummy: An action committed by a player that you believe makes them more likely that they are sided with the mafia.
