What defines a bad/average/good/great player?

It's all about how well they can control who gets lynched (specifically, not them), and how often the person they want lynched is strategically good for their alignment (a fancy way of saying "they hit scum as Town, and they hit power roles as scum).

Those are the primary skills for this game. However they are accomplished is up to the individual.

Nah, I think you're talking about a different kind of control. Or perhaps

influence

is the better word for it. You were able to influence the game to a substantial degree, and the way you did so was beneficial to your Win Condition.

If every townie was able to obvtown, scum would have nowhere to hide and get caught by PoE.

*assuming townies recognize obvTown
(being able to deny someone's obvTown-ness is a pretty cool skill as scum)

It comes down to three things:
1) Amount of free time and effort
2) Level of confidence
3) Mental health state

I wish there was more to it but I don't really think there is. You really do just have to post the correct amount, be confident but not the the point of thinking you are God, and not be an emotional wreck. Do those three things perfectly and you'll be successful.

This post is pretty true

2 is fakeable though.

That doesn't make a difference.
