playing as Town: when NOT to reevaluate.

I usually don't change scum reads to town without a really good reason to do so.

@mastina,

My problem is more viewing things in the angle that my previous Scum read is Town. I don't want to be wrong so I try to view it from a different angle. Sadly, this is actually counter-effective. What I try to do with my Scum reads (possibly incorrectly) is view them asking myself "could this come from Town?" Obviously, its apparent this is not working for me. My fear in this is lynching a Townie, ofc obviously. At what point, or rather, to what perspective should I be viewing players instead?

Going at scumhunting with the approach of being afraid of lynching a townie is the wrong way to go about things. What you want to do is look for what lynch is your best shot at hitting scum. Look at your reasoning and your lynch targets and then see what your hit rate is like. You're never going to be right 100% of the time, but hopefully you're right a good amount of the time.
