From an IRC chat game of Mafia

I have learned a new online abbreviation, "rofd."

<testie> The werewolves have decided to kill nailuj24 with 1 votes.
<testie> Oh no! nailuj24 was the seer!
<testie> The sun is rising and a new day begins. The seer is dead, but the shooter has the opportunity to shoot someone now.
<nailuj24> rofd
<nailuj24> rolling on the floor dying

This is from the #linuxoutlaws chat room.
