Rashan is telling the truth about being Republic, I'm certain. Also, his "protection" is simple lynch-BP, I would guess one, and if that means he's a recruiter I'm finding where Tapper lives.
Actually, I believe he started Republic, I have some suspicions he's been turned by Marc Antony's good looks and strong features on night 1.
edit: either that, or he has an additional power of being able to read someone else's role PM, which now that I think of it, should not be dismissed.
still republic, but getting my suspicions out now in case i turn and can no longer help my current faction. i have said to sh a few times i am coming to a conclusion which is just a development of my earlier mechanics specualtion. I believe the republic is the largest faction by a good bit, with the julii and brutii small but very powerful factions with roles much more aggressive than those of the republic and aided by bps of one kind or another. I think that silanah had a good role int he republic and over reacted which on this board is a very dangerous tactic. There are definitely recruiters and killers out there, like i said before the republic i think is hampered by starting large and having to rerecruit almost its own members from the other factions and havign no clear idea of who is where within it.
the brutii and julii seem to have intimate knowledge of their teams, which means they are small and powerful factions. Gems modkill must have been a serious blow to them therefore, while thyrllans lynch has hopefully reduced the size of the julii to an acceptably small number. I would guess possibly four members in those two factions against 12 stand alone republicans.
the brutii leaders possibly share recruitment and night kill abilities between two or three players, while the fourth acts as a public face to all new recruits while having some form of bp.
the julii possibly had 2 leaders inopposition without bps, but perhaps have paired healers or a healer with a bp who know their leaders identities and will be given as the public face of that faction.
the republic being the largest faction probably has 12 members with no leader. though soem players are possibly paired, and others are symps to the recruiter or next in line if the recruiter dies. i would suggest a plethora of passive roles, such as counters or hidden votes or day finds, but very few vigs or aggressive powers unless certain conditions are met.
