Han its basically impossible for both of you not to be scum
If you are town, Scare is scum. If you are scum, Scare is town (probably).
I can think of some possibilities.
Framer. Character who disguises themselves as another player. Possessor.
Another possibility is that this is a bluff and Scare is just gambling on me being Scum. Which doesnt really make sense that hed pick me, but picking Death first was a gamble in the same way.
This is the most likely scenario in which Scare is Town - he backed off Death who claimed info, but is not backing off me because I didnt.
