The main reasons I think there are two scum groups are as follows:
1. After Wreck Star/Greedo was lynched, there was yet another vibroblade killing. This does
not
mesh correctly flavor-wise with the Empire. See link for vibroblades below. This would indicate another member of Wreck Star's scum group making the killing, which
would
make sense flavor-wise.
2. bv310 identified Wreck Star/Greedo as 'evil'. Nothing about being a tracker is in and of itself 'evil' so I would say either Greedo was able to NK as well, or had a wincon that was somehow evil. This would not make sense with his after-death post of 'this helps both town wincon and my own wincon', so the only explanation that I see is that he was on an opposite scum team, and that killing SoG (who he thinks/thought is scum) would help both his (faction's) wincon and the town's wincon, because SoG was in the other scumgroup. Take this for what you will. Thus is my train of thought.
Those are my reasons. But then... I keep going back to thinking of that Obi Wan line in A New Hope where he is talking about Mos Eisley:
"you will never find a more wretched hive of
scum
and villainy"
, and that makes me wonder whether flavorwise/setupwise it makes sense that Greedo was alone, and was able to kill by himself. That would definitely explain the 'scum' part of his flip, but due to the second vibro-blade killing, I think any speculation evaporates because there are apparently still Tatooine killers out there. This would make total sense if there was a Jabba faction, and the bounties would make sense too.
Reference:
I think anyone who throws out the possibility of two scum groups is either dumb, blind, or scum.
@ d3x: refusing to admit that setup speculation is useful is scummy. Scum
know
way more about the setup than town, therefore they are likely to try to dissuade people from setup speculation. This is the reason my FoS is on you.
@ SoG's claim: If we believe Wreck Star (and we have no reason not to, he was apparently being honest after he was lynched), and we believe that he tracked you to THC, you would have died in place of TwoHeadedCyclops, according to your Bodyguard ability claim. That is,
if
you targeted THC, which you said you didn't. In that post where you said 'I did not target THC'. Therefore we are forced to conclude that either:
a) you're lying (you have every incentive to), and that is a bogus claim;
b) Wreck's lying (he had NO incentive to, he was already dead); or
c) you're both telling the truth, but Wreck's result on you was redirected.
And with my two-scumgroup theory, perhaps the Empire (non-vibroblade/chopped in half flavor) tried to kill whoever was protected last night. You said you targeted bv310 last night, which would make a likely scum target last night, as would CMAR, unfortunately. But again, this would have KILLED you. Who is lying here? I am still inclined to think it's you.
