Trifia: Town wins after Day Eight

[Thoth]

Answer John Wheeler

I put all my trust in jaguar, eventhough I've never even heard of the man

[Quailman]

At the risk of sounding like I'm jumping on a bandwagon, I had decided to vote MoS for the reasons Jaguar brought up, except that I could not have expressed myself as aloquently as he. Basically, I don't believe MoS. I think he's created a role (choice enabler?) to justify actions that incriminate him (or Thoth).

unvote: Thoth; vote: MoS

[Maximumum]

OH yeah! That's the dad from 7th Heaven. Ok, now I remember him in that movie.

answer: Stephen Collins

I think that's four on MoS. He is dead without a claim.

[Fuldu]

And with four votes, Mastermind of Sin is dragged off to the airlock. You think to yourself how nice it is that all this time spent in cryostasis is causing everyone to lose a lot of weight and muscle tone. The way people were when this nightmare first began, you wouldn't have had enough crew members left to drag him down there. It's odd how it's always required just more than half of the crew, but I guess that's just one of those funny coincidences.

[Mastermind of Sin]

o.O

umm...yeah...

[Fuldu]

PeaceBringer has been assigned the incorrect answer:

George Washington Carver

Lynch scene will arrive shortly.

[Fuldu]

Having verified his death, the six remaining crew members trek through the living quarters once again to search for evidence of Mastermind of Sin's identity. The room is well-decorated and swank, with expensive works of art, more space than the previous rooms, and a private food synthesizer. All of it suggests MoS was highly placed within the crew hierarchy. A few scribbled notes on the desktop blotter list the limited information on the strange readings he had gathered in the days preceeding the alien attack, and then on the aliens themselves after the attack had begun. The clinical detachment with which he was able to analyze even hostile beings suggests that you've lynched the Ratite's

Disheartened, the six of you turn to go, but as you do, someone's stomach gurgles. Realizing that it's been quite some time since you've had any real food, you decide that, even with life support winding down, there's always time for a hearty meal. To your public disappointment (and private glee), this synthesizer is only programmed to create pies. Today's menu offers:

Blueberry
Rhubarb
Lemon Meringue
Pecan
Key Lime
Pumpkin

Does anyone have a preference?

[thrawn1020]

[break from regularly scheduled programming] I hear the Rhubarb is quite nice this time of year. [/break from regularly scheduled programming]

Belated "Bah!" post.

[Quailman]

Blueberry is my favorite!

[Bengel54321]

Not sure what's happening...but I'll choose

Category Blueberry

[Fuldu]

The synthesis machine hums and the following appears on the screen:

What Oscar-nominated actress portrayed Mel Harris' mother on the ABC drama "thirtysomething"?

The food sythesizer continues to hum while it waits for Bengel54321's answer. The group huddles to discuss what he should say.

[Bengel54321]

Oh dear...ummm...little help please?

(being in Europe I don't watch ABC very often...)

[Quailman]

...not to mention they would all be at least

fortysomethings

by now. I've no idea. Barbara Billingsley? No, she was never nominated for an Oscar. Susan Sarandon?

[Jaguar]

I never watched that show, so count me out for the answer on this one.

[PeaceBringer]

don't know the answer- not sure how I missed the questions

Category Pumpkin

[Fuldu]

The food synthesizer ignores PeaceBringer's order while it processes Bengel54321's blueberry pie.

[Maximumum]

Sorry, no idea about the question. I never watched that show.

Are we all supposed to pick a pie? If so,

category: pecan

[Maximumum]

Oh, sorry. Posted the same time as Fuldu. I'll wait for my pie.

[Thoth]

American show, so no idea either.

[Fuldu]

Mod Note

: In the interest of moving this interlude along, I will say that a) nothing bad is going to happen if you get a question wrong, b) getting a question right will do nothing except end the interlude and take us to night, and c) if everybody expresses no knowledge about a question's answer (as has happened here), I'm going to pretend that the answerer guessed wrong.

The synthesizer buzzes and moves on to the next order, PeaceBringer's pumpkin pie.

The correct answer was Shirley Knight.

What position did Honus Wagner play?

[Quailman]

category: Lemon Meringue

I'm probably the closest of any here to having been alive when Mr. Wagner played (it was American Baseball), but I still missed him by a good 30 years (I think).

Pretty sure it wasn't catcher. I don't think he pitched either. I'd guess 1B or somewhere in the outfield.

[Bengel54321]

Not a clue either...

[Thoth]

I could not even name a single American Baseball player if you put a gun to my head

[Fuldu]

I could not even name a single American Baseball player if you put a gun to my head

What about Honus Wagner?

I forgot to add earlier that (again, in the interest of time, since this was just supposed to be a silly interlude in the game that clearly wasn't as well thought out as I had hoped) I will accept answers from anybody, so if you've got a good guess, you might as well take it.

[Jaguar]

Who? You can take that as "I have no clue..."
