I disagree. I usually vote to exe Alchemists because they will always turn on you when it would benefit them. That malleability and unreliability is the heart of Neutral classes.

Why? Youāre killing a healer.
They can be turned, but generally as long as you have the upper hand, they can prevent BD losses and canāt be converted. The only reason to kill them is if they decide to yolo bomb you.
Of course, if you have reason to believe they are fake claiming, you should certainly kill them.
The extra healer is worth having someone who could flip around.

For me, this is the issue. Once you lose the upper hand, if the Alch is alive, BD is in a really tight spot. Additionally:
- No guarantee of BD King - many Alchs will simply be the Kingās gopher, no matter the faction.
- If Evils donāt start dying quickly, siding with Evil/Neuts starts quickly looking more attractive to Alch
- Alch can say theyāre healing BD when they are not in an attempt to stay neutral.
- Alchemists are completely unreliable late game and can turn on you for any reason.
Iām not saying āNeuts outā, always kill Neuts, etc. Of course it depends on the situation. If there is any other credible lead, Iād obviously try to exe an Evil over an Alch. All Iām saying is that Iām perfectly willing to kill Alchemists early for the reasons above.
