Sorry, I've had projects and papers running me into the ground , finals week sucks. Right, Defense then:
I'm going to come out right here and say it, I love you all. I have absolutely no ill will towards any of you. Even if I was a member of the mafia I doubt I could even give out the order to kill anyone, I don't like hurting things. I feel like I have been made a scapegoat for these crimes just because its convenient, and not the truth. The truth is my hippocratic oath stops me, by stating "do no harm." That's right, I'm the medic, Dr. Boro_bandito at your service. By killing me you'd be making it more and more likely that you yourself will be killed.
I don't remember their being anywhere in the rules saying that I'm not allowed to say who I am, because I've never actually played this game in real life or anything, and I suppose I could be lying if I were the village idiot or a member of the mafia. But I'll die and the killings will continue, and noone will be saved from death by my hands. If that is your wish, I am powerless to stand against it. However, know that I well and most wholeheartedly declare my innocence. Thank you, good night. I have another paper and a take home final to finish.
By revealing myself, I have become a target. know that if you do count me as innocent I will continue to do my job rather than save myself, meaning it would keep more of you from death longer either way.
