The Kingdom has been renamed The Good Kingdom. ZCE and unclear examples are being zapped; add back with more context if correct.


* TheKingdom: Sjin has his very own in ''Rule the World'', where he builds the Kingdom of Sjinterfell from a single (large) house to a thriving kingdom full of other members of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} as his [[WorkerUnit Worker Units]], as well as his very own RagtagBandOfMisfits he finds in his adventures!

** Whenever a game requires him to be cunning as opposed to purely skilled, he is significantly better. Examples include playing as a Traitor (or Jester) in TTT or a soul in Soul Hunt.



* WildCard: In ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'', LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} is understandably rather skeptical as to Sjin's allegiance, given how in a single game (well, series) he can backstab rather well. Indeed, when it appears that he may join LetsPlay/LewisBrindley, [[spoiler:he joins LetsPlay/{{Sips}}' poorly thought-through revolution for the hell of it, then rejoins them and tries claiming to have part of the glory, when in reality LetsPlay/DuncanJones and Rythian were responsible for the victory]].

** This is his general mask all around when playing with the other Yogscast members. He dumbs himself down for the sake of comedy (and [[{{Troll}} probably to fluster the people he's playing with]], but in any solo series he shows himself to be extremely competent and is one of the best ''Minecraft'' world builders in the entire company.

Dangerously Genre Savvy is being merged with Genre Savvy. Misuse and zero context examples will be cut.


* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: One of the reasons he was able to get away with [[CassandraTruth claiming to be the murderer]] in one round of ''VideoGame/GarrysMod Murder'' is because many trolls pretend to be the murderer. Sjin exploited this for full effect and killed everyone.

** In ''Rule the World'', Sjin receives instruction to explore Thaumcraft as part of a larger story arc, and is specifically told to seek out a wizard in The Twilight Forest. Sjin does this and meets [[TokenEvilTeammate Spooky_Steve]], a lich skilled in Thaumcraft. At first, he won't help until Sjin applies some 'leverage' in the form of finding and grabbing his [[SoulJar phylactery]]. Despite [[GoodIsNotNice effectively kidnapping Steve and forcing him into slavery]] (a point Steve [[WhatTheHellHero brings up nearly every episode]]), Sjin is always careful to be nice to Steve, even going so far as to build him a giant Mage tower in Sjinterfell and to get the hounds off him when he gets stuck in their pen. Someone has ''clearly'' read the EvilOverlordList.

** This could be a case of BlackAndGreyMorality however, as Sjin is more than willing to fight obviously evil opponents like Lord_Blackwood, and help ambiguously good characters like Princess Eldraphyn...but he never claims to be ''good'', exactly. He just wants to TakeOverTheWorld.

** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with the aforementioned [[spoiler:Spooky_Steve]] - he knows they are evil from the moment they meet, and immediately takes steps to compel their loyalty and instruction in Thaumcraft [[spoiler:by finding their phylactery and putting it in a pocket dimension that Steve can't get to. Thus, if he ever wants to return to his hole in the ground, he'd better teach Sjin Thaumcraft, and, [[EvilIsNotAToy no funny business!]]]]
