My only problem with "centrificing" is that it is too close to
"sacrificing," which is not quite what you want with the mechanic.
"Catapaulting" sounds good to me; at least one of the games refers
to a catapault, but that shouldn't be too much of a conflict.
"Treb," on the other hand, sounds to me more like "treble" than
"trebuchet," perhaps because I have never used the latter.
