Honestly, say we went for your "plan". I just don't see you magically holding back and using your monster on scum only. You'll go for easy kills, whoever's at hand. And, say we're good, find scum early. That basically forces you to use your monster on town. It's just not good calculus. Sure, we can wait a few turns to deal with you maybe, but IMO we SHOULD deal with you at some point.
