meant "stone, crag" (it's common in English place names), and suggests an original sense of the Germanic words as "tool with a stone head," which would describe the first hammers. The Germanic words thus could be from a PIE

*akmen
"stone, sharp stone used as a tool" (source also of Old Church Slavonic
As a part of a firearm, 1580s; as a part of a piano, 1774; as a small bone of the ear, 1610s. Figurative use of "aggressive and destructive foe" is late 14c., from similar use of French

hammer and tongs
"with great violence and vigor" (1708) is an image from blacksmithing (the tongs hold the metal and the hammer beats it).
Hammer and sickle

Work it out. You're about to go 2-0 up in the 'totally wrong or totally scum' game.

Since when did it become cool for players to always assume we’ll believe they are town.
Like it’s not even hard just claim your actual role and if your town we’ll believe you.

Also, if you’re town and think we’ll not eliminate Not_Mafia then you’re completely delusional. If he’s pulling another Guillotina he’ll pay the consequences, we should never reward such shit level play by assuming for even a second it’s done in good faith.
I think Nero is town but I want day to end so whatever
E-1
I think this guy is scum btw.
When I was reading through, this was the first time I thought Nero would flip Town, as it seemed like a typical informed scum post when an elim is imminent.
i love mathblade but mathblade isn't like a zmuffinman or anything, mini died for being mini or for someone trying to frame titus or some dumb shit like that
regardless it was a bad kill lul

idgaf how u twist it u dont get to discredit anyone pushing the nero lim just for pushing nero cause there were valid reasons for it. to toss someone's towniness away just cause u didnt like the wagon they pushed is absurd.
the early votes are more likely to be scum. luca im reconsidering bc of their meta shit they pushed but otherwise idgi
No. I still TR Norway and momrangal. The other early votes I might be able to see as scum but those two I definitively TR.
What on earth do you mean NM is not under any pressure. NM has been trolling around all day long yesterday, making up one bullcrap statement after another, with an obvious claim to simply get people off. I'm going to post a full list of my thoughts in a bit, but I know I will forget comments and things like this if I don't start quoting as I go. NM's ...what second claim? would have resolved tonight, and now they have switched their claim to tracker again? This sounds like complete bullocks
I really dislike how fast people are willing the end this day. This smells of gambit territory. I admit yesterday I was annoyed and frustrated by NM's posting. But cheeky was drawing a lot of ire from people before NM, and the more I read Nm the more I hear alarm bells of trolling scum.
Norfolk, if you are town, please just claim and don't be a cocky asshat. I understand mafia is a frustrating game at times, but don't look at Nero's actions yesterday as what to do when being voted.
I ned to sleep because my head is swimming but more thoughts comming

I'd also be quite willing to consider an N_M elimination today, but as long as Norfolk doesn't claim their role it's out of the question.
Also, if you’re town and think we’ll not eliminate Not_Mafia then you’re completely delusional. If he’s pulling another Guillotina he’ll pay the consequences, we should never reward such shit level play by assuming for even a second it’s done in good faith.
I don't agree. Logic behind decisions should always be looked into.
I'm a Vanilla Townie. I was making Doctor noises in the hope of attracting a nightkill and protecting power roles.

Utter garbage.
If I just give the answers you miss out on everyone else's read of a situation. It's not asshattery.
I'm feeling Norway as town right now. The easy breezy vote hops and their demeanour doesn't seem like it's scum operating to me.
I'm also thinking Mini as town right now, purely for her sticking her neck out with scumreads. Mini as scum is cagier than that. Mini - can you put you initial scumreads in order from most scummy to least?
Ranny still gets the big scum ping from me for such lazy LHF voting earlier. I also have tingles from Gamma.
We need to bypass this NB1 nonsense. Let's use Norfolk.
I've done some research and am rethinking my Ranny read as my super intelligent theory has turned out to be impossible. I'm adding chkflip to my townreads with Norway and Mini.
If you're hanging your hat on it, my experience of Mini is that she played exactly the same as scum as she did when she was a town PR.
i have a funny graph i wanna share re: meta. The absolute best town players i know utilize meta effectively. Its a good tool. I find those that discard it don't actually know how to use it.
What do you think of Norwegian?
I'm one for reading charts. Graph me, baby.
In terms of Norway, i'm leaning town.
There was a free spirited vote hopping, easy wagonning Norway at the beginning. Recently he's been spiky and needlessly aggressive.
With such a large group and inevitable easy targets, at this point it seems unlikely that Norway as scum would behave like this.
