Get Ahead in #KlondikeTheLostExpedition @Vizor_Games (by putting up #Lodgings for Your Neighbors) | @getFANDOMgaming #Lodge #Lodged #Lodges #Lodging #DisLodge

In the game of KLONDIKE: THE LOST EXPEDITION, you 'hire workers' to mine materials & manufacture supplies for your mining settlement. Although the game-designers give you every chance to waste your 'gems' (an in-game treasure) on virtual workers ("Inuit" (Eskimos)), you eventually learn/remember (i.e. it's not Vizor's fault if you didn't 'figure it out' before) that your neighbors will do the manufacturing & mining if you provide housing for them.

(I think Vizor gives players' home-bases a free cabin at the start to illustrate this exchange.)

When you need a worker to mine material or manufacture a good, you can hire a neighbor to come--using a room in your home-base's cabins (or apartments or houses or whatever lodgings you build) as a 'changing room'--for 'varying amounts' (higher costs as the helpers get hired by more & more other neighbors ... how are the helpers able to be on so many home-bases at the same time? probably best not to 'get so real' about it, but trust that more money takes care of the inconvenience 🤩).

Your invitation to join us all on the wilderness-farming Alaska frontier is linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)

The word “Lodgings (which Etymonline explains as 'a noun from the verb from the noun')” is built on ancient words that mean "Hut, |Cabin, Shelter made of |Foliage (|Leaf), |Roof made of |Bark" (with influence from words that mean |Encampment, |Porch, Gallery, |Bower, |Arbor).

Etymonline mentions the verb for 'making a Complaint or -putting something somewhere so that it gets Stuck in the Intended Place' (when one would need to dislodge it to get it Unstuck), but it's not clear how the word got from 'Housing' to 'Piercing (like a thorn in the flesh).' 

Maybe there's a clue in 'the way the word came to use regarding Native-Americans' housing (the #LodgePole & #LodgePolePine)'---when frontiersmen settled a new 'Intended Place' and 'Stuck' there ... 

Or maybe it's because it rhymes with Sabotage (named for when Dutch Shoemakers wanted to revolt, and so Jammed their Shoes into the Cobbling Equipment) ...

So I've built a few KLONDIKE apartment-buildings (cabins, skyscrapers, what-have-you), but--as I mentioned above--THE HELP ISN'T FREE (if it were, then I would have to pay for upkeep on each of the buildings I own).

But the price that I mentioned MIGHT give me a clue as to how to get cheap labor ... 

Before, I would UNneighbor people who hadn't shown up for a while (and who therefore hadn't buried any treasure for neighbors like me to dig-up) But now I see that--by 'neighboring' with people who hardly ever play (and thus don't have so many hiring (and thus) price-raising neighbors themselves)--I have access to some low-cost labor out on the KLONDIKE!
