Then just don't nuke at all? Firing off a nuke with a 1 in 3 chance of hitting scum is still terrible, especially when it isn't a small list of players with a known number of mafia members on it. All you're doing then is 1) playing horribly enough to be a serious candidate for a day 1 lynch and 2) further punishing your side twice as often as not by killing another player of your alignment. Focus on making good posts so you are not lynched during day 1; don't just decide "oh I'm going to die, but I need to use my KP before I go!" when you have absolutely no idea about who would be a reasonable target for your kill.
There was definitely plenty you could have done differently.

There was one thing I could do differently:
Go serious mode and analyze the PM I get, then decide that it is a trap and I should probably say something about it.
I was dead after I forgot about lack of 3rd parties and decided to follow the PM. My play was irrelevant.
I wasn't Day 1 lynch candidate because of the Nuke, I was Day 1 candidate because I followed what sandroba told me to do in PM.
