Large Social Game Glossary

• Anonymous - An anonymous social game requires that each player take on the role of a character (based on the game's theme). Players are not allowed to reveal their MafiaScum identity during the game and may be encouraged to obfuscate personal details in order to remain anonymous.
• Non-anonymous - In a non-anonymous social game, everyone's MafiaScum identities are public and players tend to have more freedom in the mediums they are allowed to communicate with each other under.
• Jury - A group of eliminated players that are expected at the end of the game to vote for which finalist should win the game.
• Social threat - A player who is socially connected to many other players, in this context a threat to win the game.
• Challenge beast - A player who wins many challenge games, usually in the context of individual challenges.
• Goat - Denoting a player the speaker does not expect to win the game, usually in the context of an appealing opponent to choose to compete against in front of a jury.
