Oh I do that all the time, just behind the scenes usually. I mention it when it becomes relevant. (I often feel that, even if I am tunneling on town, that is not necessarily a bad thing for the game. I know it sounds like it always would be, but I've got a methodology behind when, where, and why I tunnel. So even if I am aware I am tunneling and being followed and that the person I am tunneling is probably town, I've often reasons for not specifying that/backing out. But it HAS happened before, where I felt the need to back out of the tunnel and explained why. I realize tunneling is incredibly frustrating regardless of the alignment I tunnel on, but I often feel the pros outweigh the cons.)
I have, publicly, stated the reevaluation and accompanying reversal on occasion, but it's something that I only bring up if I feel there is a need to bring it up.
(The way my mind works is insanely complicated. I am always, always thinking about every possible alignment for every player, with every post being made, and thinking about every scumteam possible. Always doubting, always unsure, always without direction. So I bluff, pretend I'm more sure than I am, exaggerate, downplay, try to focus on the things which look more likely given what I know, and so to speak, cut down the workload. It helps my sanity, it helps me stay in games, it helps me always produce useful content, even when I'm wrong, and it's something easy for me to obvtown doing but hard for me to do as scum convincingly. So I try to get the most out of what amounts to me being lazy, cutting corners, and not being fully/truly honest to myself. I never lie, but when I say I'm 95% certain on something, it's probably closer to half that.)
