The fact Ankamius pushes the idea that none of those 4 could be picked is extremely interesting to me.
Does Alisae have access to the Mafia PT and can talk in it?
In that scenario, If I had picked with this player list, I think I would go...
One of Krazy hydra/Ankamius, but exactly one of them.
AaronFrost
Hectic
One of Gobbledygook/RR
I’m too lazy to check if it’s 4 or 5 scum, but I think this is a 21 player?
I'm going to drop the act for one post just to address this.
First, Alisae thinks highly enough of eir own scumgame.
Second, look at the playerlist.
Pine has a strong enough scumgame that he's hard to lock as town.
Maki and Kaito have strong enough scumgames that they're hard to lock as town.
Frozen Angel has a strong scumgame.
Reasonably Rational has two players that have provably strong scum performances in the past as well as not being the easiest to read as town.
Flavor Leaf has a strong scumgame and a reputable enough towngame to justify not being paranoia lynched for it on day one.
Spiffeh had provably strong towngames (former Paragon), but he has played a lot less here lately.
Amrun had strong towngames and scumgames back before she quit the site originally, but has played less lately.
Krazy and PenguinPower have put up above average performances as both alignments.
I'm a slot that has had strong towngames and scumgames recently, and the general read rate of a lot of players on the site in either direction is on the low end.
Most of the other slots either are less difficult to lynch, have strong enough scumgames without the extra reputative clout, or are unknown enough to be wildcards.
It doesn't exactly take a whole lot to disrupt the potential strength of this town and its ability to work together, so I expect Alisae to predominantly look to disrupt potential townblocks from forming as well as disrupting Titus herself. So, I find it most likely that Alisae planned the following:
1. Decided who would be most disruptive when drafted as scum.
2. Decided, through #1 as well as game strategy and PR picks, who to focus on disrupting.
3. Decided, through who #2 does not disrupt, who are priority kills.
And then watch the chaos.
