And while we don't really know what the Protoss can do they're obviously being picked off quite fast by Mephisto so it seems like they won't be a threat much longer. If Mephisto gets more Protoss bios that is.
So simply it's a case of not knowing the true power of the Zerg, and if Protoss gets picked off I have no clue what will happen.
Somehow I don't think killing off the Protoss is going to be hurting our cause unless you happen to think the Zerg's win condition is the elimination of the other mafia faction? And if so, I'm rather curious as to why you believe that? Are you by chance a Zerg or Protoss and thus have access to their win condition? Or perhaps you meant that you're not sure what there powers will be capable of without the Protoss to stop them . . . in which case I wonder why it is you believe the Protoss have been key, or are key to stopping them? That would seem to suggest either you're a Protoss, or a Zerg. Either way, I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but you're doing a good job of convincing me that you're not Terran. Nearly everything you've done or said so far seems to point towards you and changing your vote now hasn't exactly changed my mind about that.
Anyway yes, eliminating, or even just winnowing down, one mafia faction is to our advantage. It doesn't matter how many mafia there are left, the less there are, the better off the Terrans are. I agree with Dual Reaver completely on that point.
