Okay, I am going to go ahead and register an official VOTE: THISISNOTASMILE. I believe that is the 5th vote, the kill vote, for TINAS. I feel comfortable doing so, because I can't really see myself ever voting for someone else this round.
To be frank, I'm not at all sure that TINAS is mafia, but... the repercussions of killing him if he is a townie seem less severe than for killing other people who may be townies. His self-professed erratic play-style could be good strategy in certain circumstances, but we pretty much have to hold that against him here. Also, I do think there is at least some chance he is mafia. I think he may have planned to play erratically regardless, and was quickly surprised and annoyed that this made him immediately suspicious. At no point has he really deflected my suspicions.
Oh, and a word on 'being suspicious.' The mafia want to leave in suspicious and active players. They want known or suspected innocents killed. If, for instance, the cop ever reveals himself and says, "X is not mafia," X will likely die in the night. The mafia need to keep uncertainty in the game. There are other considerations--sometimes they will go against this to kill someone when they know it will make us suspect someone else, specifically, as mafia--but this is a big one.
Therefore, I assume theory will survive the night.
I say all this so that doctors/jailkeepers/cops can plan accordingly.
