I'm not familiar with it. It's a term I've not seen in a mafia game I've played yet and now it appears written by two people.

But I neither believe or disbeleive the notion. I merely observe
We have no federal cases in Britain. Or maybe they all are. We don't use that terminology though, but I've heard it in movies.
I think there is a misunderstanding. I have heard of a Federal case, but not as an expression used by people.

Do you have Federal Courts in Wales? A Federal Case would be a bigger deal than a local case. Not sure why, maybe the feds have stiffer penalties? Its a common phrase where I grew up.
No. But I watch a lot of American TV. Whatever, never seen it in a mafia game before.

The implication is they may have used the phrase in btsc?

Does being an outlier make them bad?
My reasoning is that, if the majority of players are civvies, then the majority/average action taken is most likely to be civvie. It's not perfect, but it's playing the odds.
I don't understand. Surely by this argument any non action is likely to be civvie too?

No, that's the 727 game. We are all checked in and actually in flight.
