We almost lost that game on CFDs.

I had 1 vote and the other two had 3+. I was in third place before Epignosis rightly turned it around.

If hot potatoes don't happen, I don't get lynched in Mountain Mafia.

You'll never get me to stop doing things that work.

Hey gang,

There's a bad habit some of us have gotten into in recent memory, including myself. I don't mean for this to be a scold or an accusation; it's just an ordinary Mafia term which sees usage all over the Internet. I'd like to suggest that we take the lead as a community to change it. "CFD" stands for Chinese Fire Drill. This comes with a connotation which isn't ideal or appropriate, and it could stand to be remedied.

If it's not clear, the term refers to a scenario in a Mafia game wherein, near the final moment of a voting deadline, a large number of players move their votes from one possible lynchee to a different lynchee. The strategy itself is perfectly reasonable, and I do not intend for this thread to be used to debate that. Instead, I just want to come up with a new term to describe this kind of occurrence which doesn't draw from any racial stereotypes/jokes/etc.

One option: "musical chairs" -- basically the same dang thing.

Any other ideas?
