wagon (n.)


"four-wheeled vehicle to carry heavy loads," late 15c., from Middle Dutch
wagen

(source also of Old English

, Modern English
wain
, Old Saxon and Old High German
wagan

vagn
, Old Frisian
wein
, German
Wagen
), from PIE
*wogh-no-
, suffixed form of root "to go, move, transport in a vehicle" (source also of Latin
vehiculum
). It is thus related to .

In Dutch and German, it is the general word for "a wheel vehicle;" its use in English is a result of contact through Flemish immigration, Dutch trade, or the Continental wars. It has largely displaced the native cognate, . Spelling preference varied randomly between
-g-
and
-gg-
from mid-18c., until American English settled on the etymological
wagon
, while
waggon
remained common in Great Britain.
Wagon-train
is attested from 1810. Phrase
on the wagon
"abstaining from alcohol" is attested by 1904, originally
on the water cart

In post 575, Gamma Emerald wrote:the key elements of her play seems to be shading others and useless commentary. That’s not what I expect from Cheeky nor what I expect from town. And her post announcing her leaving is a sign that she’s meeting some nebulous quota of content and then buggering off. Scum do that so they are seen as giving content but also have more wanted from them, keeping themselves just beyond the threshold of being voted by seeming useful.
I think this is kind of my point, just from the other direction. It’s not what you expect from Cheeky is the part of the read I don’t have the info for. It’s not what you’d expect of town? I don’t think that’s as conclusive. If anything, the “oh don’t worry about me I’ll be back see ya” play calls a lot of unwanted attention, as your sus kinda shows. Seems easier just to...not say anything. Or throw less shade. Or do something else.

Now if this is atypical of cheeky, I like the read more. I’m actually decently interested in exploring it. Just don’t see the point when they aren’t here to chime in. Sure, we get to hear from other people, but I like it when my wagons get to experience the pressure in person. Much more satisfying imo.

Maybe I’m stupid, but I liked Mini’s most recent wall of questions, and saw them as towny. Was kinda sad I didn’t get one.
You know, if I saw several votes on me after being away for a while, I’d feel rather pressured.

I don’t see the point in this wishy washy nonsense when we’re trying to garner support for the elimination of a slot.
How are we supposed to get decent reads otherwise.

I think its a highly manipulative argument and could see Luca making that argument to preserve that status quo. OTOH scum do react like that so it could just decent analysis. I know thats kinda fence sitting but idk what's going on.
In post 643, Nero Cain wrote:though on 2nd thought Luca saying that while sitting on a vanity wagon does kinda make me worry that it's just scum trying to push 4 a mini elimination while not getting his hands dirty.
I'm having a hard time marrying the 2 ideas.
It's just weird. Saying that you can see Lucas theory being right and also saying maybe Luca's manipulating everyone, and he made a great scum play.

As I write this out, it doesnt seem as scummy (your reaction)... more confused towny.

Luca's sitting on a vanity wagon is kinda weird, maybe they wanted to validate thier thoughts? Or maybe they were fishing to see if anyone bites to see if they could fish.

You know I felt alot better and more confident before I read and wrote this out.

Can you explain in more detail everything you just said?

It felt like Quiet was trying to bury the push on mini with unreasonable requests rather than actually refuting it.

Genuine question, now applied to both cheeky and mini

Is this really scummy? Like can someone give me a game or three where scum did this? It gets read as scummy, but to me it seems really bad for that exact reason.
In post 608, quiet wrote:Ah so we are still in RVS then after all. Vote first questions later got it. I’ll fall in line.
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Cheeky

So now that I did the thing, can someone answer my question? Seems like a fair trade. Link me any examples where scum actually behaved like either a) “I need to take a vacation, throw shade, see you later” or b) filler content, such as asking lots of questions, “not actually scumhunting”, etc. I want to see some of it in action. My bad pet theory is that reports of such scummy behavior by actual scum are grossly overstated.
