Because we know the ordering, we can work together here.
It looks almost certain at this point that Poirot is our lynch victim today. That leaves us with eight players.
Town Protective
Doctor - Dick (claimed) PREVENTS DEATH FROM AN ATTACK.
Neutral Benign
Town Killing
Jailor - Kouichi Zenigata (confirmed) CAN JAIL A PLAYER AND THEN KILL THEM. JAILED PLAYER MAY KILL JAILOR ON RELEASE FROM JAIL IF THEY'RE A NEUTRAL ROLE.
Veteran - Shinichi Kudo (claimed) CAN GO ON ALERT TO PROTECT SELF.
Mafia Killing
Mafia Deception
Neutral Killing
Town Investigative
Lookout - Poirot (claimed)
Investigator - Nancy (claimed) ESSENTIALLY A SEER.
Neutral Chaos
Neutral Evil
I'm presuming Magnum PI has got his facts right here, and I've added the mechanic claims in, in CAPS.
Jane and Jessica haven't role claimed whereas the other six players have. So because we know where their roles fit in the turn order, we can basically identify if any are lying, because we'll know that they were unable to carry out their claimed roles.
Here's what I think we should do, then...
Jacques blocks Jessica. Jessica unable to act tonight if she has a role.
Magnum doesn't have a night role.
Frank is dead.
Dick protects Nancy. If Nancy is telling the truth then her power is too valuable to lose.
If there's a Neutral Benign they go next (I'm unsure what impact this would have?)
Shinichi and I go next. As there's no Killing role before us in the turn order, I believe we're safe.
Shinichi goes on alert to keep himself safe.
I jail Jane. Now both players who've not role claimed are, essentially, blocked.
Mafia Killing, Mafia Deception and Neutral Killing go next,
in that order. However - all remaining players are accounted for, either by role claim or role block. So if any of these three roles do act tonight,
it means someone is lying (and hopefully the absence of their promised action means we will be able to see who).
Nancy can then investigate freely. She's already committed to investigate Dick, which seems as good a move as any. The main thing would be for Nancy to share her results with the thread, so they can be corroborated (unless there are two remaining Mafia, the only faction with more than one member remaining is the town).
Finally the Neutral Chaos and Neutral Evil roles move - but again, they should only be able to do so if a role-claimer is lying.
If we all do this and there are no night kills, it suggests everyone who has role claimed so far is legit, with one or both of Jessica and Jane the remaining villains (presuming Hercule flips Mafia).
I then have the option of killing Jane, or letting her leave - if we think she is Mafia we can lynch her tomorrow; if she is Neutral you'll know because I'll be dead. (Which is fine, because I'll still win if we all do).
From there the game seems unlosable - because if any of this doesn't go down as outlined above, yet all parties commit to it, it should be possible to identify exactly who failed to carry out their stated action.
