Nah, skim the last two and give me your opinion

I guess it's easy to get overwhelmed by the task of making up fake reads when you spend the first 24 hours hiding in discord

I can't say I laughed too much about that, but the joke kinda makes sense, though there are a lot of people who wouldn't equalize Wien with Austria, at least here.

Also, what you call Wiener, we call it here Frankfurter (because a person from Frankfurt [who did so in Vienna] invented it and called it in homage of his birth city), though most other german speaking regions call it indeed Wiener (since it comes from Vienna and stuff, though they don't honour the inventors wish). At the end, it's just a hot dog.

We do have something called 'Wiener' here, but it's a kind of (sliced) sausage. If you are in a supermarket and go to the meat area ordering 'Wiener' there, you'll get that (well they would ask you how much 'deka' [from dekagram] of it you would want, so don't get confused there).

There is another use of 'Wiener', regarding the Schnitzel, so if you go into a viennese restaurant and order a 'Wiener', you'll get that, because no restaurant here would think it's a hot dog.

But yeah, if you are in Frankfurt, Berlin or Munich, ordering a Wiener would yield you (a pair of) hot dog sausages. Well not 100% sure on Munich, but pretty certain.

Anyway, no dog meat would be used, that is guaranteed. There are some places where you can get horsemeat though, which might not be something for americans.

Are we over analyzing jokes now?

Well I kinda digressed into word usage/origins, so I wouldn't say it was analysing the joke but just me rambling about Austrian things. Also I didn't want to be negative about his joke, just wanted to be more indepth why it wasn't particularly thrilling for me.

You're a native english speaker, right? What do you think about the joke?

I thought it was funny

Does jamie normally get townread a lot? Can someone give me some examples of their "usual flair" ?

not sure if this is already known but you can't click on diplomacy&warfare's individual posts on the bot. Some "params not allowed" error.

I'm not sure if I said this yet: Foodoats you can go please go ahead and post a full reads list with explanations sometime over the next few hours.

What does that last one mean, brain?

[Frogsterking]

I'm looking forward to it by the way, oats

Also Hamilton Brian seems to be town aligned based on what ive read.

Neph, worcej, sweet, and heart I am pretty ambivalent about. Kind of D1 pop-ins, letting us know they're here.

however if lfischl is indeed mafia this could
be problematic and an excuse to avoid scumreading a teammate

In browsing earlier games this past week I realized I tended to scumread lfischl and usually end up being wrong. I think it was low-posting that got me into that thought-cycle. I'll try to not go that way this game.

So Diplomacy's one post is interesting and I'm not sure how to work it through.

Did Will really scumslip? Was this Dip making a joke post? If it was something, then it wasn't really tackled by anyone. Why not?

What are you not sure about on that post?

Do you think will scumslipped? and what makes it a scumslip in your own words?

[sweetandcool]

I'm trying to think, but nothing special comes to mind. Neither in german or english, nothing related to snow or mountains or a city name (bare 'Wien' maybe, but I fail to get a good pun myself). I hope it's nothing connected to WW2. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

So what do you call 'einen guten Jungen' or 'ein gutes Mädchen'?

A Wienerdog.

I suppose in Austrian the answer would be Wienerhund, but then the joke doesn't quite make sense.

I can't say I laughed too much about that, but the joke kinda makes sense, though there are a lot of people who wouldn't equalize Wien with Austria, at least here.

In America we call it a hot dog, sometimes a Frank, wiener too though I think people trying to sound perverted like to refer to them that way.

And we very commonly call Daschunds, Wienerdogs because they look like wiggly walking hot dogs (wieners).

Now the joke was that (I assume) Wiener means citizen of Wien (Vienna) just like Frankfurter and Berliner.

Of course, Vienna is not Austria, but conveniently it is the capital so staging the joke the way I did makes sense to me.

The most amusing thing to me, is after all this I'm realizing that the word "Wiener" is very likely to come straight from the Germanic languages, and as an American I have taken that for granted my whole life.

Consequently, my joke is hardly a joke because I'm making a pun off a word that means exactly the same as what my pun meant. Which wouldn't be very funny to an Austrian.

I might have to read jamie, wok and fish games in order to move forward here

I agree with this petit analysis.

I am, indeed, a Wiener.
