How do you win a game as scum? By at some point in the game, attaining a majority.
This can happen in 3 way ELo, with one scum remaining. This can happen in 5 way ELo, with two scum remaining. This can happen in 7 way ELo, with three scum remaining. As scum, from as early as pregame, you should be thinking about how to cross the finish line. Who can't you eliminate, who can you eliminate, which scumteams are obviously not a possibilities. If you're playing reactively as scum, you're defeating the purpose of being informed. YOU are the one who holds the cards. YOU control the gamestate. You can't just miseliminate the easiest person every day. If in 7 way, there's you and your buddy who can potentially be connected, two confirmed innocents, and three VTs, two of whom have consistently defended each other in a way that the confirmed innocents think is kind of scummy and one of whom who is deathtunneling in a non-SvS way and is obviously not scum with either. If you eliminate one of the two scummy people the first day, congratulations you just ruined ELo. Now you HAVE to bus and push your teammate as scum with one of the others, and since you're backed into a corner reads wise it won't even look that towny if you bus. Whereas if you made the smart decision and together pushed the third person, you bring the two people who look like scum with each other into the endgame and it's a much easier elimination. You have to plan ahead, and you need to know how any of your actions will influence people's reads on the game. The future has to be in mind in every move that you make

Mafiascum article on how to bus. Good read tbh.
