The term Laundering was derived from the metaphor meaning to conceal the identity, source, and/or destination of finacial transactions.
The term, in respect to Mafia, refers to a player's attempt to conceal their own involvement in a lynch or kill through evasive language, while attempting to convince other players. It is used as a Mafia tactic to push the town into lynching without actually being on the wagon themselves.
Examples can be simple, such as:
Player A: Well, I'm suspicious of Player B, he's done <list of actions> but not enough for a Vote.
Player A: I'm very suspicious of Player B, but I'm not starting a wagon on him yet.
Or much more complicated.
The term was coined by Oman in August 2007. While the name and tell are not well know Oman intends to spread it through the community, with his awesome spreading skills.
