Exile is not bad, though mis-exile is sort of an inelegant construction. The best I can come up with that's not mentioned yet is the word fire. I.e. "the town fired ashersky, ashersky was misfired, you were on the fire wagon." It even has the subtle burned-at-the-stake thing going for it, which again I think is a totally permissible part of mafia's theme.I was thinking about the noun/verb thing too. I still think I'm liking Exile; i don't see any more issues with the inelegance of misexile than any of the other words we sort of make up.
Although fire give us the possibility that, if you vote to get a flip even though you have hesitancy on its success AND it turns out that they flipped town, then you'd have a classic "mis-doubt-fire" scenario.
I don't know if this is why I married you or why I shouldn't have.
