i think a relatively even distribution implies about 1 scum per grouping, max two and one group containing all scum.
slightly disappointed that scum didn't go for some crazy combination like 1/1/11.

two scum in one group and then one group containing all town, that is.

I'm disappointed too. I was *really* hoping to roll scum. I was planning to do something ballsy like 6/6/me.
I think there's a chance that all scum are in one group. It would be rather easy to neverbus in that case, as you could justify it by not wanting to get rid of yourself.
If, for example, scum put themselves all in group 2, along with two players who prefer to dominate conversation, you'd need to get 7/8 of all remaining players to vote group 2 to succeed.

Okay, i think the fact that there is even proportions means that scum is using that as a layer of deceit. I think that one group contains either all scum or 2 of the 3 scum. I think it's a ploy to make it look like there is 1 scum in each.

If scum is smart, they would have just put all their eggs in one basket and done all 3 of them in one group, and then have 1 or 2 people we are town that are great at town telling, so to make people not lynch their group.

i put a lot of thought into how i'd approach the grouping and splitting in this setup. gonna spoiler it since it's mostly irrelevant now (i just find this setup interesting from a theory perspective)
Spoiler:
i figured optimal (in terms of higher-risk-higher-reward) splits were 6-4-3 (i'd have gone with either a 3-0-0 or a 0-3-0 split, depending on how competent i thought my teammates were) or 7-3-3 (either 3-0-0, 0-3-0 or 2-1-0, depending on teammates) or 8-3-2 (again, either 3-0-0, 0-3-0 or 2-1-0)
2-1-0 with a 7-3-3 or 8-3-2 split would have been best i think, purely because it forces town to be put in a position where they go for the larger group and accelerate lylo or go for a smaller group and at best hit 1 scum. though a 3-0-0 or 0-3-0 would have been more fun to play i think
something 11-1-1 would be hilarious but probably suboptimal, unless you can predict how town is going to vote
all that said, 5-4-4 is boring but probably optimal in terms of how safe it is (it gives the least information away in terms of split since it could be 3, 2-1 or 1-1-1. i think maybe 3 is less likely because scum who choose such a boring, safe split are far more likely to be risk-averse but now we're going against a sicilian with death on the line)
as is, i'm not reading into the split too much atm (it's probably not fruitful to discuss it at much length anyway - that said, talking about groups/splits is an easy way to look like you're posting content when you're really not
#notbeingahypocrite
)
i'm thinking ideally we just lynch DV today (the most optimal of optimal lynches possible) and go from there

if you're hinting at role information, be explicit about it
