As soon as hatmoza changed his lynch to me, it was over. Hat is very stubborn and very hard to convince. When he gets going, trying to argue with him is just going to seal my fate. He's a bit eccentric in that I don't know what is going to set him off.
Also, republic claiming unlynchable killed it for me too. I had some steam going against him, and then he did that and then FF for some lame reason or another changed his vote to me. That was what really sealed it. To me, claiming unlynchable right before a lynch is just downright scummy. I'm sorry town was so superficial to notice that, even when I pointed it out.

I assume you didn't realise at the beginning of that day that Republic was unlynchable. But then you did realise later.
What you should have done is pointed out that being unlynchable isn't really a very pro-town characteristic, that claiming "unlynchable" isn't really much of a defence if you're a townie, and that since you were scum, you were the only one with any chance of killing him: if they lynched you, Republic would win the game.
It would then be up to them whether to let you win or Republic.

Nobody did, because he never claimed it and I couldn't figure out what it could be. I had a suspicion that it was unlynchable, but I was in denial....an unlynchable antagonist. That's a harsh role to have.
I was thinking about making an appeal to the town. I planned a whole thing out but frankly I kept coming up with the same answer. Why would town let me win and not republic? Surely admitting that I was scum seals my own fate, and they couldn't figure out that republic was scum, so to the town it would look like I might be simply targeting a townie to die for my own designs. Additionally, radish then made a claim that he had a 100% hit rate if he delayed his action result the next night. Which, frankly would have completely upset that plan and doomed me to failure before even beginning.
I made the point that claiming unlynchable is a scum claim. I made that point abundantly clear. I wondered why last game, when I claimed unlynchable, people still wanted to lynch me, and yet here they did not. Face it. Town was not thinking clearly.
I gave the town their only option to win and they did not take it.
The claim that I made (being cait sith) is very similar to what you are suggesting above except it had two major factors. It introduced the possibility of a third remaining antagonist, which would be necessary should stefl be cured of silence, and it also gave a reason why town should let me win instead of republic. I'm the SK, town are going to lose. If you're going to lose, at least lose to the SK because it rarely happens. Additionally, the claim I made was at least still a lie, technically still playing the game. If I were to lay everything on the table, like you endorse, it would've felt like a major cop out and frankly I wasn't going to do that. It felt cheap.
So you see, not only are your suggestions wrong, but I've already thought of them days before the game was over and even overcame the flaws of those suggestions.
The town was the only factor I could not predict correctly. I expected town to be smart.
