So let me get this straight, you're saying that the colleges should all kill each other in case there are scum hiding in them, just so that unaligned townies won't be attacked? Seriously?

So far one person outside a college has been killed. That person was scum. There are at least three more scum still attacking, the college leaders seem to have a close eye on their members' night actions. Therefore I feel there is a fair chance of these three remaining scum being in the 'unaligned' category. Why would we ignore them?

If you're so scared of being collateral damage then you ought to accept any invitations that come your way from now on. There is no disadvantage whatsoever to having low stats in the element of your college, so if you're innocent you have nothing to lose.

The reason the unaligned scum are done for if they didn't join a college is....you get MUCH cheaper upgrades for that element. There is no reason not to join one, if you didn't, your gonna die a sad death.

Edit: I suspect the reason the scum didn't join a college, might have been to avoid the faction wars they suspected that would result. I think this truce is throwing them off big time.

I think you misunderstand me, and it's pretty natural for the college people killed to be townies when 2/4 of the dead townies were head masters. I'm not saying don't ignore unaligned at all, just that I definitely think the current plan is "confirm my college, kill the rest". And I have serious doubts on how to confirm the people in your college, because "following the plan of the college" is not really clearing of anything imo. It clears them of being 3 attacking scum, and I believe with 2 scum teams there are more scum out there than 4 total in the game.

Why do you think there are two scum teams?

Okay I am back I kind of ignored this game a little after the first couple of rounds with my lynching twice I had next to no health thus I expected to die very soon. However this has turned out to not be the case.

Most believable explanation for not being here.... ever.

Congrats. If this is a lie, I totally eat it up. Num num nummy numms.

That would be a whole lot of scum. And why would the non-attacking scum just be sitting back? Sure they'll be getting more powerful with time but so will all the townies.

It's harder for scum to blend into colleges than you think, night attacks are monitored to make sure that the individual does not have a suspiciously high AV in any element, and corruption levels are possible to estimate from the write up. Okay so maybe there are some scum characters that have townie stats and are hiding in a college but there's no way to detect them and that is certainly no reason to stop going after the attacking scum, who are actively harming the town at the moment. We've killed one of them and have a reasonable case against BSmith.

It is not simply a case of kill everyone outside the colleges but considering that there are no disadvantages whatsoever for a townie to join a college it does make people look suspicious. When we back that suspicion up with more evidence why would we not go after them? I still don't understand what you are suggesting, do you want us to start lynching our own college members just in case they managed to slip through the tests? You're really not helping yourself here...
