What are some common mistakes that newbies make when they first start playing ranked practice/ranked?

ALWAYS read wills and check the name for disguiser. Don't reveal NK as mafia until you need to. Never alert night 1. Never roleblock night 1. Never randomly transport people. Don't meta game or give into meta game. As town quickly tell the jailor your role and paste will. As mafia quickly have a fake role and will. When being lynched don't be rude even though it's tempting. They will lynch you. Don't tell town you're survivor-ever. Especially in jail. Never claim survivor as witch/ww/etc. As exec never accuse your target day 2. In mafia chat say as little as possible. never give away RM role. Don't ever whisper your fellow mafia members. Avoid talking too much. As town mafia might pick up on you, or vig might be stupid enough to shoot. As mafia, town will start to question you. Never randomly shoot as vig, even if you happen to get lucky this is not a good strat. As Jailor don't execute if they stay silent (and this is your only proof). Never disguise without a forger. Stay home if you can on WW night. When someone asks your role during the day, just give it. Don't pretend to be jester as evil roles. You will get killed. If mafia attacks you as NK, have an excuse ready for town, don't try to ignore it. As NK or mafia, don't kill people who talk in chat day 1 night 1. As NK or mafia, don't go for obvious targets like the revealed mayor or jailor with TP alive. Only use self-heals and vests when you've drawn attention to yourself. Don't panic use. As retri waiting to revive the jailor isn't always worth it. Avoid talking as medium. You will be lynched half of the time if you claim. Avoid revealing you are spy unless you have some really useful info. Don't reveal as mayor early with BG dead. Girl names and avatars tend to die first. As TP/LO go to these targets. As town, always hang survivors and exec/witches as soon as you are made aware of them. As mafia try to keep these roles alive. ALWAYS vote up your own mafia, and vote guilty. As jester don't be loud and obnoxious. Do something subtle. As exec try to sound as honest as possible. Ask for your target to be executed by the jailor, as this will give you credibility. If he actually is, you will be lynched for lying and win either way. As forger it's better just to leave a will blank than to guess their role. As blackmailer don't use your ability and claim spy. Sometimes the best strategy as NK is to not douse/kill, and wait. As mafia/nk always kill the TI as soon as you can.
