The best way to play town well is to roll scum ime.In post 1, DragonEater70 wrote: Is there any way to proactively avoid it happening in the first place?
Seriously, though, my answer to being to quick to townreading specific players is generally to just ignore them entirely D1. If you are finding that you townread too many different players without it being playstyle/individual linked, you might consider a gamestate oriented approach to D1, where you try to encourage people to take a bunch of different stances and then eliminate someone a lot of people have strongly conflicting views about. It usually leads to pretty healthy conversation D2/3. I generally feel that whether the D1 elim hits scum is usually pretty irrelevant.
