Who should a tracker investigate with multiple scum alive?

There's enough WIFOM around that I think the best strategy is probably to investigate your (or the town's) second-strongest scumread. Someone who's universally read as scum probably won't perform the kill (unless the scum are planning to sacrifice/bus them), and most people are sufficiently bad at finding scum that there's enough randomness in this investigation that scum can't really WIFOM it. (Besides, someone who's looked sort-of scummy all game, but not enough to be lynched, has an above-average chance of being town power.)

There are two main strategies for killing with scum: killing with the least scummy in the hope they won't be tracked, or killing with the scummiest so that you don't lose much if they are.

This makes it very hard to aim a track, especially as the former strategy is likely more common. (The difference is if you're planning to bus someone; in such a situation, you may as well have the bussee make the kill.)
