2. Do college type events count for political capital for boroughs?

From what I can tell, no. In fact, college events don’t appear to count as events at all. They don’t even register in your lookup stats, and certainly aren’t counted as events attended for your faction or whatever. A great effort appears to have been made to ensure that all forms of college play are completely bereft of any value.

4. For the purpose of affecting GPAs and crediting College Staff do college type events affect these or is it just RP between a faculty character and a student character?

I’m pretty sure college events do nothing. They aren’t tied into any systems. You get whatever RPXP and faculty rank gain and (presumably) GPA that you get from interacting with other players, but the fact that it is a calendar event isn’t relevant. You could just as well have gone out for coffee with those characters. The system doesn’t recognize the work you do in any way whatsoever. There doesn’t appear to be any mechanical purpose to college events, no connection to any code, nothing. All it is is a way to denote what type of calendar event it is. There’s no underlying purpose beyond that.

Windermere is basically an illusion. It’s a collection of rooms and some very basic functionalities like ‘college roll’ to see who’s a student, but none of it is plugged into any systems because the entire thing is the product of prompting an LLM to do it. No human effort went into it.
