There were plenty of targets. It's possible that claiming a power role would have been more effective than tying your own noose.
Ended The Great War - Mafia 1917 [SCUM WIN]
Tag's claim is weird. The cop should investi-
Shit.
Shit.
I was hoping to have some semblance of information, but my lines of communication were cut. I'm also sad since I don't know any comparable World War I references to describe my situation.

There are a couple of unresolved FoS' from Day 1, but I find something particularly jarring here.
As FD publicly pointed out (for better or worse), there is no way in hell that this post by Tag is not a subtle claim:
1. Is there another nation in WW1 that was largely known for it's naval might? If that nation is Entente, that's very likely Tag.
2. If the answer to the above question is "no" or "not likely", then that means Tag is most likely trying to deceive players as to what role he has. If this is the case, then his attempt to disguise himself as the UK massively backfired when we managed to lynch the UK on Day 1. Also, he probably scum.
Last few thoughts here: Null's role reveal shows that certain actions can happen based off of a percentage. We'll want to keep that in mind since we can't count on certainty of actions happening, on account of more than just a potential roleblocker. Secondly, let's be careful with our lynches. Null's role shows that lynch votes range in value, so let's stay 2 votes away from lynching someone until we're confident in a hammer. Lastly, the OP states that we can't claim what nation we are, or paraphrase our own roles beyond the very basics (doctor, vig, etc).

We know from Null's revealed role that there is a directive of discrete communication along the same veins of what Tag not-so-subtlety did.

If I recall, both Japan and the United States ended up with rather large navies through World War I on the Allied side - as did Germany for the Central Powers. I wouldn't expect that Germans would have any "in-game" reason to communicate in a discrete fashion (being that they're the scum faction), as much as their use of telegrams is well-known (and was a major reason for the United States entering the war).
Well, presumably that (as well as the redacted information) was known to him at the time.
If Null had said "I'm the cop", which is indeed one of those basics, that would've been enough to keep him alive.
There is a way in hell; it's flavored shit posting, which is what you were doing with your sawbones routine. Anyone claiming in flavor text on Day 1 is absolutely out of their minds.
As it is, we gained almost no information from that lynch; the only people who knew for sure he was a Townie beforehand were the Mafia, and they had no reason to tip the scales considering the pressure put on by our top Mafia experts.
Based on last Night's performance, I have to assume that we have a Doctor, and a good one. If you are about to be lynched, please claim. Without a Cop, the Day becomes heavily tribal, and having even one confirmed Town for a day is a major game changer. Our odds are not good against highly powered and coordinated roles, and it seems our power was heavily consolidated in England.
The most important thing today is that everyone speaks, preferably more than once. That means posting without lynching so we can establish a baseline. By all means, accuse me of buddying, or baiting claims, but please don't afk. We all joined this game to play, and playing means posting.
Roleblocker that stopped a Nightkill should claim right now.
So I typed up most of this last night before I got distracted and passed out, I'm pretty sure I had more to say, but it'll have to come to me later.
You two are seeing only the most surface level patterns, that's the type of shit that'd lose this war. Yeah, I talked about ships quite a bit, and now that we know the UK's abilities we know a couple things other things.
Russian resupplies, "the war was won with American steel and Russian blood", as we can see by the UK's 2nd ability there are ways to supply the Russia. This means they most likely have a limited ability that can be recharged by outside forces (one of which has died)
(Also yes, I know that quote was about WW2, but it still works)
Also, if you're trying to guess my role, I can assure you, no matter which country you think I am you are dead in the water.
Wrong
I mean, I obviously don't want people to know my role, neither does anyone else.
See why do you and FD think I was trying to claim UK?

So as you can see by the last part the Etente was UK and France, so there's likely still a way to supply Russia as long as France doesn't die.

Couple of things. First of all, I can confirm that Tirin is town or at the very least not scum.
Secondly, what the hell does this mean?
Secondly, what the hell does this mean?
Is he saying that he's some country not commonly associated with WWI? Or is he trying to claim he's not a country at all? This behavior is pretty suspicious, but not enough for a lynch from me yet.
Go on. Are you telling me we've got another cop?
