Don't lose focus, don't over-focus.
It's funny just how many of these things i don't do.
I'd argue myself that a lot of these aren't taken into account.
I'm generally talking AT players, not keeping calm at all, antagonizing people, not addressing other players, not keeping that open a mind as town or scum (tunneling), i rarely act like i am wrong, i don't tell the truth all the time as scum.
The list goes on
I don't think many of these count as to who gets lynched.
I mean yeah, we have lynch all liars, that doesn't mean it gets used that often.
Confidence is one of the bigger ones in my mind, that followed by what i'd mostly call "sheepability" the ability you have to make people sheep you, even when the reasoning is stupid.
If you can sell ice to an Eskimo, you can win mafia.
It's about believability not much else.
Drag people onto your side of thinking, and you can generally keep yourself from being lynched.
I'd also argue that it's not the least charismatic that gets lynched.
Sometimes it is scummy, sometimes it's other things, but it's not all about charisma.
