Laurel I am town btw, trust

I want to believe you are also town & just don't like your role's relative power/aren't staying active as a result, because I feel like a Laurel that rolls scum tryhards (is my impression of you before playing mafia with you)

But if that's the case vote someone else and lmk the thought process and maybe I vote off and hop on with you

Player originated message:

Zenzizenzizenzic is an obsolete form of mathematical notation representing the eighth power of a number (that is, the zenzizenzizenzic of x is x8), dating from a time when powers were written out in words rather than as superscript numbers. This term was suggested by Robert Recorde, a 16th-century Welsh physician, mathematician and writer of popular mathematics textbooks, in his 1557 work The Whetstone of Witte (although his spelling was zenzizenzizenzike); he wrote that it "doeth represent the square of squares squaredly".

Page from The Whetstone of Witte, 1557. Zenzizenzizenzike occurs at the top of the right hand page.
At the time Recorde proposed this notation, there was no easy way of denoting the powers of numbers other than squares and cubes. The root word for Recorde's notation is zenzic, which is a German spelling of the medieval Italian word censo, meaning 'squared'. Since the square of a square of a number is its fourth power, Recorde used the word zenzizenzic (spelled by him as zenzizenzike) to express it. Some of the terms had prior use in Latin zenzicubicus, zensizensicus and zensizenzum. Similarly, as the sixth power of a number is equal to the square of its cube, Recorde used the word zenzicubike to express it; a more modern spelling, zenzicube, is found in Samuel Jeake's Logisticelogia.

No I still dislike the majority of his posts and the only thing that counters my SR on him is my perception of what Laurel would do if he rolled some role like VT vs. scum. When he provides some reads and reasoning I'll ease up
