And if you had been scum, hammering him earlier would have been risky. Town was obviously still talking and discussing things, and a hammer at that point would have likely been seen as trying to shut down discussion. I assume you can see where that would have been bad scum play, and why hammering when you did would have made much more sense.
And, you were talking about wanting to improve on your "towniness". Other townies want to hear about people having massive reads changes and some kid f justification for them. It's simple as hell to just plop down a name. People want to hear your thought process and why the read changed, so that they can make a judgement on your sincerity.
Sorry if you thought my post was bashing you, though. That was totally not my intention. I just wanted to give you some constructive criticism to think about to go along with your personal goal of improving how you are perceived as town. I think you're a solid player overall and an asset to either team. <3
