host (n.1)


"person who receives guests," especially for pay, late 13c., from Old French
oste
,
hoste
"guest, host, hostess, landlord" (12c., Modern French
hôte
), from Latin
hospitem
(nominative
hospes
) "guest, stranger, sojourner, visitor (hence also 'foreigner')," also "host; one bound by ties of hospitality."

This appears to be from PIE
*ghos-pot-
, a compound meaning "guest-master" (compare Old Church Slavonic
gospodi
"lord, master," literally "lord of strangers"), from the roots "stranger, guest, host" and "powerful; lord." The etymological notion is of someone "with whom one has reciprocal duties of hospitality" [Watkins]. The biological sense of "animal or plant having a parasite" is from 1857.

I don't really get why norway unvoted mini after stating that this is/was mini's scum meta.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Which instance of you voting are you stating you've applied enough pressure to make that person so uneasy they stopped posting in thread?

You don't just get to cram words together because they sound good, lawyer, I need the evidence. WHERE ARE THE EXHIBITS!?

I mean, just seems like post with no point. it's like "here I am!"

is complaining about the game state which I think is a lowkey scum thing to do.

she's like not doing anything so kinda feels like newbscum that doesn't know what to do.

I'm not so tunneled that I think this HAS to be scum and I could maybe see mini as town if we are arguing that there's scum in the blank wagon hoppers.

I mean, until you clarified your position, almost every vote on that wagon is blank -- including yours.

This seems a little premature.

If Mini were scum, what reactions would you expect following that wagon?

So because i’m not 100% doubling down on pushing a slot on early day 1 that’s barely posted when there are 20 slots to get reads on.

Yes, give in to the peer pressure.

It's more like the way you're defending rather than the defending itself. It's ok we can still be friends for now. Are there any particular votes onto the wagon that you dislike?

They did this as scum in a game but that doesn’t really mean it’s their scum meta? Tbf i don’t know if they play like this when town as well. I’m not overly familiar with the difference between their town/scum play.

I’m not sure why, if you’re going to argue with the line that i fall to peer pressure, why i didn’t just keep voting on the Mini wagon and argue that it’s the best wagon created in all time and cheer for Mini’s destruction rather than questioning it.

I was being cheeky, I wasn't judging you as giving into pp. I feel fence sitty about you, I liked your push on Chk but didn't like the seemingly random jump off mini when they haven't really reacted to the wagon yet.

Whatever, just an early take. Some folks are already trying to sideline you by calling your approach superficial and what not. There’s probably something there, but you haven’t questioned it much.

First things firstmostly, this is fun and lawyery and I absolutely asked for it but you completely passed over the initial question.

Also, which vote are we discussing?
