You've got a good head on your shoulders, and you put far far far more work into this game than any other four or five players combined. Unfortunately, you're too abrasive to other players in this game to ever effectively lead barring any viable alternatives (and sometimes not even then), and you often throw out too many theories out there too quickly to maintain sufficient credibility when you land on a theory that IS correct.
Let me give some examples from this game. Objectively, by the end of Day One, you had made a strong foe of padib, hylian, khan, and outlaw. Smeags and cone were also displeased with you. If I wasn't so familiar with your playstyle, I would have been in the latter camp myself. Outlaw is a case in point: he's not stupid by any stretch, and I don't think he deliberately ignored evidence of your innocence, but you'd rubbed him the wrong way so badly that even at lylo he was willing to pretzel-logic his way into finding ways to want you dead anyhow.
Essentially, early in the game half the players had a reason or excuse to ignore what you said going forward, barring a lack of alternatives, and that list arguably grew over time. Even on the last Day, when you, Smeags, and padib were effectively cleared as suspects (leaving a 2/3 chance of hitting scum even with a blind selection) I wasn't particularly worried about you figuring things out (even when you HAD on Day Three...albeit only as one of a dozen accusations), because by then neither padib nor outlaw was going to follow you (the former likely would have picked another target solely to spite you!), and Smeags wasn't putting a lot of faith in what you said, even when they were right. Basically, you'd neutralized yourself.
I think that, once you stop playing meta and - more importantly - stop alienating others, you're going to be a downright scary townie. At the moment though you've got the detective part down, but you forget that at the end of the day this game is also about persuading others to do what you want, and unless you come in with a sterling track record (i.e. few or no mistakes) then you'd better be prepared to offer some honey to go with the vinegar. This last Day was a perfect example: even without anyone else stepping up to fill the leadership vacuum, the only person who followed you anywhere was whiteeagle, and I suspect a part of that was just to suck up and avoid getting lynched himself.
Just my two cents.
