Yeah, you and your extra hit was too much of a liability so thankfully the general mistrust of people in power helped fuel that vote.
That's why I send out PM's early and often to 2-3 players regardless if I'm Mafia or Townie, just to get some allies and try to keep bandwagons off my back. If you talking with people they are less likely to vote you out since your a source of info (reliable or not).
I tried allying with Fatty the Hutt early but didn't hear anything back from him, which may be because he suspected me or just doesn't do the PM thing during the game.
PMing also might have got me in trouble as I was talking with MopItUp and she convinced me that Stevey was probably the killer role based on the targets, and that along with the thatguy vote day one led me down the Stevey hit. It was a toss up between Steve, Crimm and Nickmitch that night but her reasoning tipped the scales in my head towards Stevey.
I was also hinting at Stratos being mafia in my PM's which may have helped him out once it was known that I was mafia. Though most of the people I was in communication with blew up the next day anyway.
