Hi,
I was reading back through few of the posts and death scenes when i had an idea. But before i explain further , there is a story to be told:
'There was once an island in the Atlantic ocean which was inhabited by a tribe of people who were sea-fearing. Hence for them , their island was their home. Their society was driven by gold which they obtained from a mountain nearby. For the mining , they trained a race of people who were considered outcasts - these people differed in both size and looks from the ruling class. They were provided with no facilities,education and were given only the bare minimum to sustain mining. They weren't allowed to talk to each other too. Hence over the ages , they slowly lost whatever intelligence they had. They weren't given any individual names and as a group, they were identified by the work they did. Gold-Miners or 'Gob'-'Lins' in the tongue of the ruling class ...
Centuries later, a fleet of strange looking objects was seen on the horizon. Fear gripped the people of the land as they saw these monstosities approach their shores. Stranger looking people got down. Fear turned to anger as they realized that they were after their Gold. After a brief battle, all that was left of the once big empire were their mines and the Goblins who lived in the darkness inside them. Releasing that years of mining had made them formidable melee warriors, the foreigners decided to set them free and use them as crew in their own ships.
This is how the Pirates acquired the friendship of the Goblins
-- The Chronicles of PvsNia'
I was thinking of the 3/3/3 scum combination when the thought thought struck me. Why do we have to assume all scum groups are against each other?
Ninja couldn't be allied with Pirates cause they killed Kaleidoscope
Goblins couldn't be allied with Ninja cause Goblin Guardian outed Erg0 Ninja scum
So that left a Pirate/Goblin combination . I decided to investigate this more just to satisfy my curiosity ..
i) Kaleidoscope only votes for Guardian 'cause he wants to survive'
ii) Guardian votes for Kaleidoscope because 'a Kalei lynch is better than a me lynch'
and both of them shifted to the RC wagon as soon as it started
iii) After Twomz declares his day 2 results, Skruffs displays tries to defend Guardian by posting about
Goblin samwise , displays incredulity at a third scum group and does not vote for the guardian lynch.
iv) And a goblin kill and a pirate kill have never clashed on any of the four nights so far.
Please read through their interactions for yourselves and see if you can spot what i think i spot.
So if this is true, i think a 2+2/4 scum pairing is more apt. But now the question of balance comes into play - If goblins and pirates can kill once per night, how fair is it to the Ninja's who can kill only once per night?
One possible balancing element would be a one-shot day killer for the Ninjas in the form of Thesp. (Since with Thesp's day ending power , anything other than one-shot scum is over powered) - This also explains Mgm's (Ninja Finder) obsession with Thesp . Erg0 was pretty much going to be lynched. And thesp's kill not being a cross kill does not fall under
Rule 17 since they both were Ninja Scum !!
Let me know what you think about this little theory of mine.
