Alright so I had a couple mess ups that really affected the town negatively.
1) My trust in, and defending of Mobian. I blindly allied with him. He role revealed to me and it made me instantly trust. I gave him a play by play live of what i was doing and what intel I was gathering. I defended him as a civ to several different people. This gave him an inside view of town (at least part of it) and a "shield" of me defending him from lynches. I looked back at all the discord messages and the only red flag i found at all in our discussion was him not debating any of my decisions. He played mafia very well in the first few nights and he didnt lie to me once.
2)Not finding the connection between Mobian and Coffee. During the shock episode, i gave shock mixed messages. This is outlined in the thread so i wont cover it fully here. One of the mixed messages was that i was suspicions of Mobian and insig. I was suspicious of insig but not Mobian. Well shock PM's coffee who i was suspicious of, and coffee PMs Mobian. Mobain then tell me, full circle. Now, coffee and Mobian have never spoken before Mafia. In my mind, the first thing i thought of is Coffee is trying to get town rustled in hopes of a town lynch. So I tell d2d that if i die, Coffee is mafia (this turned out to be a great idea). However, it never once clicked with me that both Coffee and Mobian are mafia and that Mobian shared what coffee said to further cement his trust with me. looking back at it, its fairly obvious.
3) Blocking Firefly and Dragonfly in Night 2. Ian told Firefly to target 3 people. I targeted one of those people. It didnt even go through my head that it would block Firefly. This blocked 2 intel gathering roles on a very important day for town. Not only that, but i couldnt tell everyone what i did because i died that night.
Like i said the night i died, this was one of the most fun things i have done here. It was a great game, even after i died, watching from the outside, it was a total nail biter. I understand how the game is played and what NOT to do next time.
Mafia 71 when?
