OK, here's my tinfoil theory:
Alisae is SCUM. He couldn't have maden it any clearer than he did with
247 &
248. These posts are an explicit invitation for the other scum team to work with Ali's team.
LUV could very well be scum for referencing Ice & Fire earlier, which could be him signaling to the other team indeed.
Fire claimed scum in the other game before he switched to this game )mod error fixed) and Ali took it to be a signal to him, thus he said Baezu was his p and asked FB who his p is.
That makes me unsure about Baezu. I don't know if Ali would be as ballsy as to claim his p as well, so it could be the case or it could be him establishing a strong association with a townie.
I also can't shake off the idea that Ali vs Nero was scum theatre.
In Star Wars some characters will always be town (ex: Padme/Queen Amidala) and some will always be scum (Sith Lords). Some will appear town in EP 1 and then "turn into the dark side" in EP 2 (ex: Palpatine, and arguably Skywalker), so I'd say there might be a slot or two that started off as town (EP1 role PM) and switched to be scum later (EP2 role PM).
In sum, Ali is scum. Fire/LUV/Nero/Baezu have a higher chance of containing at least 2 scums in them (if not 3).
And -of course- I have almost achieved my personal goal (not related to the win con) which is "get NK'd ny scum.
