Guys, I want help in understanding how to better play as Town. I am not referring to present games, but I have one finished game that I want to refer to and try to understand how I could have played better and stuff.

Can someone please help me understand how to play Pro-Town and be successful at scum hunting?

The wiki articles are a good place to start. I can tell you that reading them has definitely helped me find scum.

Which article did you start from though? And which one did you like or learn the most from.

So one of the main things I noticed in the games is that it is tough to convince folks to accept your perspective, and vice versa. Because most folks think that their gut read or their analyzed read is the correct read on a person.

How can this Glass wall be broken? Even if I was open to all ideas, it still doesn't change the ideas of others in a game. And differentiating between the ideas bounced around by scum, and bounced around by genuine townies seems difficult.
