Put me in as sub for now. I can sub in if you need someone who won't be able to be very active.

From having skimmed some of your posts, in general the others were correct: as town you want to be transparent and clear in your thinking. I may have missed something, but you seemed to make the common mistake of focusing on trying to hold things back so that you could solve others, but even as a PR that rarely wins games.
Often the solution is just to lay it out for others to solve you while you chip away at it. I can't recall if it was this game or the one prior, but someone commented they didn't want to be readable so that it wouldn't stand out if they rolled wolf in a future game, which personally I think is not great, but it's not my choice. And certainly we have other vets who don't play that way or only play that way to a point (e.g. trent makes some effort to be readable, but refuses to make reads lists).
That said, as town PR, there is an argument for playing just a touch shadier so that you look meh to townish but not towni-est, so that perhaps wolves NK elsewhere because they think you're potentially mis-lunchable (WIFOM baked in). And maybe that is what you were going for. Though FWIW, I wouldn't have voted for you there. Your tone was fine, you were consistent, even if perhaps wrong a lot.
But more relevant here, nothing I observed you doing was harmful to the game.
A common refrain I make is that relatively few players here are actually "technically strong" players in any absolute sense on par with say, a Whiskeyjack. Some are relatively better than others, but everyone here is eccentric.
If you have fun, play and get better by playing. /shrug

2-3. I was being transparent as time went on, but I feel it was more my usual play style of not reading into everything and making huge lists of vibes gotten from posts/users that did me in....well along with my misremembering me being a doctor in a prior mafia game(though to be honest I still feel I played such a role in a prior game...so who knows what I should think about that).
4. Yeah I was wrong a ton but I at least tried. :\
5. Thank you for saying such. I tried to be respectful to everyone and follow the rules as best I could.
6. Agreed and that's part of what makes it fun(the eccentricites)...it makes it harder and more challenging/enjoyable to try and figure out who is what. Know what I mean?
7. I can try but I will likely always just skim as I could never be bothered to read 100% such longwinded posts of back-forth and analysis. That's just me, sadly. I will think about joining the game if the players list takes long to fill up, though. :)
I will think on joining if not enough players are attained in a good period of time(as I just told bler).
