The Spies hate each other

[Judge Sam]

This phenomenon has really baffled me. But, as of now, without even knowing who the others are, both groups of Spies think the other is Satan incarnate and are vowing to eliminate the other at all costs.


In other words, they are willing to cut off their nose, ears, lips, and shave their eyebrows just to spite their face.


I have a few questions for my lovely eliminated Spies, who may or may not share these same feelings:


1) Why do you think the two halves of one unit (Each Spy group) hate each other so much?


2) Why are they willing to do so much damage to their own game just to get rid of the other team?


3) Is it even possible to get them to work together? What would have to change?



I think I had more questions but I just forgot them lol. Anyway, I've never done 2 Spy groups before, so I'm really curious as to why people feel like this. I know this game is emotional, and in games sometimes emotion rules over logic ("I'm not going to work with Person X in Survivor even though it would benefit both of us because they betrayed me a week ago"). Is that why?

1) Why do you think the two halves of one unit (Each Spy group) hate each other so much?
-Because they are threatened by the fact that they can imprison each other. Before I left we were able to communicate with them, so something tells me a threat of sorts initiated it.

2) Why are they willing to do so much damage to their own game just to get rid of the other team?
-With the threat of imprisonment gone (where I will now state again really hurts the spies chances which makes me curious why there were so many investigations) they have less to worry about and more focus on the deceiving at hand.

3) Is it even possible to get them to work together? What would have to change?
-It's possible, but only until the other group successfully gets their dirty work done through their imprisonments. They can never work together for a lengthy period of time. Personal interests will clash, which makes it so difficult.

Recall that each group can only Imprison the other a maximum of one time. And that you can't Imprison the other group if you are larger than them.


I think there's a lot of fear around Imprisonments when there shouldn't be. Each Spy group can't deliberately Imprison the other at this point because they don't know each other. And it is highly unlikely that they would "randomly" select a Spy to be Imprisoned given the current situation.
