This is a really interesting problem, but the number of potential scum strategies is too high to even list them all by hand, even in something small like a 2:7 (the issue is that nominating the same player twice, and nominating a separate batch of players, are distinct scum strategies). So I think the correct approach here is to write a script to automatically generate a description of everything the players can potentially do, and then run it through an existing WIFOM solver like Gambit. (This approach doesn't work for setups in general, but does work in a setup like Nomination Mafia where any asymmetry between townies is public knowledge, as it means that there are only two sides to the game, town and scum.)
