I like how all of your possibilities make one major assumption: That you're innocent. There's the flaw to your entire list, that you're some how cleared to the town. You're not. In fact, I'm saying you're a scumbag.
Warp made a comment a while ago about it being strange about me putting forth mat's role at this point in the game. I did it because i knew that my play style this game has been iffy at best, and I would need to provide the town with some confirmation as to what my role ability is. The fact that mat has spoken up and confirmed my ability
should
speak in my defense.
Instead, there has been the accusation that I'm a mafia cop that has been laid out on the table. Do you realize how pointless a mafia cop is in general, much less in a game this small? Offsetting an apparently powerful town with a nearly pointless mafia role does not a balanced game make. Speedy's role would help balance the game if there was a name investigator on the town's side, not the mafia's.
Instead, your claimed role, if true, leaves us with a setup of: 2 docs, 2 cops, 2 masons, 1 town power-vote role, 1 role designed to mess up the mafia's single benefit, 3 mafia - one of which is an investigator, and one other (warp). I don't see balance in the setup you apparently are advocating.
I'm also surprised that nobody else has made any comment about Shamrock's incessant push for a lynch. And not just with these final posts, but from the very beginning of the day - even before everyone had shown up, namely the player who would help out my case, mat. Which leads me to believe that this game
isn't
as imbalanced as it appears on the surface, as Shamrock wants us to believe. Instead, Shamrock's a scum who has been trying to push a quick lynch for one reason or another - which is why I'm not all gun-ho about lynching me to proove Shamrock's scumminess. He probably has something up his sleeve to help balance out the game. Which is why I want him dead before myself.

Uh, hate to break it to you, but mafia doesn't occupy my mind until usually i get a small window of free time between school and work. I don't mull things over in the meanwhile, I don't contemplate the games I'm in - in fact, i forget they exist for the most part. When I come back to the game, especially when I'm in more than one, I don't remember which roles I have, what night actions I've done, and sometimes mix up player names in games. But that's fine, because I come to the game and reread it each time as if I'm a simple townie, which is a great strategy regardless of role, alignment, etc. - which is what I did during this game, and which is why I was suspicious of Poirot regardless of my night investigation. He was acting suspicious, therefore, I voiced an opinion of my suspicions.
