Mini #534 - Vegetable Mafia (Game Over!)

[Bookitty]

I am limited in my posts per page and amount I can say per post. I asked the acting mod and I'm allowed to mention that. Apparently being a pea means my opinion isn't all that important. But I noticed that I made a mistake in my previous post in formatting, so I'm fixing it in this one.

no, destructor claimed a brussell

s

sprout, which i thought was odd

[gorckat]

When I wrote up everyone's claim, I almost wrote Brussels Sprout as well- it's what the FireFox spellchecker recommends.

[Oman]

I cannot believe this.

This is going to tear me up, and I welcome you on some level (but seriously, I can't believe it).

I checked my role PM:

It is Green Bean. Why did I post Beans? Same reason I read brussells sprouts, I am much more used to discussing them in the plural.

[thedragonsprincess]

I can understand how that could possibly be a common mistake yet it could also be an attempt by scum to cover up a slip up. yet I don't want to put omen at lynch-2 when it could be a perfectly innocent mistake. so until I get more information

oops. sorry for the double posting

[soupfly]

i'm suspicious of green pepper. the others are definitively of one color but for pepper you need to specify that its a green pepper over a red or yellow pepper for it to be green. generally speaking pepper is not an overly green vegetable because it comes in so many different types.

compare this to the pea for instance. there's also different types of pea (black, yellow) but if we believe bookitty, the mod didn't specifiy

green

pea because peas are usually green.

When I saw Y was a cauliflower, I thought "isn't that a white veggie?" Google Image showed them to have green leaves, which I'd never seen. I doubt our own perceptions can be applied to Aimee's ideas. Say "pepper" and I think of a jalapeño. Others might think of the black powder you sprinkle on stuff.

I agree the apparent (can you confirm, tdp?) lack of color specification on Pea (and, to a lesser extent Lettuce- there's red lettuce, irrc) is different, but its what I am- a Green Pepper. I'm sure there's a reason the color is specified.

[Crub]

when I think of Green Pepper I'm thinking of what I'd call a capsicum, which come in 3 or 4 different colours.

soupfly, why do you find "Green Bean(s)" less scummy than "Green Pepper".

Also at this point I'm assuming the scum do have safe claim's just because most of the obvious green veggies were picked and no one was caught out.

[WhoMe?]

also we have a split between the sort of veg you'd have with a roast dinner, and salad type greens. Don't know if that has significance though.

[gorckat]

soupfly, why do you find "Green Bean(s)" less scummy than "Green Pepper".

Good question. I'd forgotten about the Bean.

[Bookitty]

My role name is just Pea. Not Green Pea. Not a pea. Just Pea.

(Yes, I'm incredibly proud of it too -sigh-)

I am unconvinced regarding Oman's misreading claim, considering 1) he requested the popcorn nameclaim and then didn't carefully read his name? Seems a little odd, and 2) a reread of his posts in isolation, which I recommend.

[thedragonsprincess]

gorckat- im kinda lost. what am I confirming?

[gorckat]

Sorry. I was thinking of Bookitty.

Mine was specified

Green

Bean.

When I think peppers, I think the green ones they use at Subway.

What a stupid idea, context wins.

1) he requested the popcorn nameclaim and then didn't carefully read his name? Seems a little odd

Actually, I requested the nameclaim and didn't even read my role pm since the start. Basically, I read it page 1, said "Right I'm Green Beans" and went about my day. Then on the claim I said "Right, I'm Green Beans" and when about my day until it was brought up and I corrected it.

[thedragonsprincess]

something just doesnt sound right about that.... a mafia member could very easily use that excuse..... yes its possible, but somehow it seems fishy to me.

I did so earlier today. What are you seeing that makes his claim so scummy?

[soupfly]

soupfly, why do you find "Green Bean(s)" less scummy than "Green Pepper".

Good question. I'd forgotten about the Bean.

i also find the green bean(s) suspicious. it was slightly less troubling than the pepper because a green bean is not just a bean that is of the color green. in other words green beans and other types of beans are different morphologically whereas a green pepper and a yellow pepper differ only in color.

anyone want to go ahead and claim mason? if there are still 2 of you left, then stay quiet, but if you're on your lonesome, pipe up.

it's terribly scummy of you to request such a claim when its not needed at this point. whoever the mason partner(s) is should NOT claim yet.

FoS: WhoMe?

[WhoMe?]

i disagree

scenario 1, only 1 claim - we have a confirmed townie

scenario 2,a claimand a counter claim - we have found scum and we now it's one of 2 people.

Where's the downside?

[Phate]

I agree that the mason partner should claim today, if not necessarily right now.

[thedragonsprincess]

I disagree. If the remaining mason claims, then yes I agree they will be confirmed innocent. But that also leaves an open target for mafia... if we all 100% know someone to be innocent, there is no way for the mafia to possibly make that person look scummy about something.
