It stands for Chinese Fire Drill. The term seems to have seeped over here from other forums. Explanation of the term as it applies in Mafia here. Basically a last minute rush to lynch someone at the end of the day. I'm learning now that the term can be considered derogatory, there's nothing "Chinese" about it, it's just using that as a shorthand for chaotic situation in the same manner as Chinese whispers.

Alright, I gathered the meaning in context, but couldn’t for the life of me guess the acronym. Thanks ^^

In other news, I’m going to read Supernatural 10. I want to see the heartbreak for myself.

My mini setup Caves of Dashar is still in signups, if anyone wants to try a quick 72 hour, one phase long game.

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

Speaking of Super10:

I never got a chance to point this out but:
should these affectations truly hit your heart (as I do so aim for them to),
Affectation (noun): behavior, speech, or writing that is artificial and designed to impress.

I may have been messing with Vector on Day 1 :P

That's what I get for not reading any of the Webadict/Vector interactions on D1.

Thing is, Web pretends to be mafia just as much as he pretends to be town. I really wonder how much you're actually going to get from that...

I was hoping that anyone paying attention would assume I misspelled affections, beecause I only found out what it meant 5 minutes before that.

We all pretend to be something in game. It's just one of those ideas is more pretend than the other. ;)

It's a double-edged sword. The better you get at looking Town, the better you need to be at being Town, though.. It sort of reinforces itself, too, I suppose.
