I am not TheChiScientist. Someone may also replace Rossyspace, as he or she died in the past clue. PM me the answer to the clue if you want to be an officer. Also, Here's officer position has been abandoned.

I’ve decided to give you a break on this clue. It is for one who is like-minded to my partner and I. It all starts with a tactical maneuver so great, that it is still regarded today as one of the greatest of all time. Start with the first revenge of a Carthaginian general. End with the answer.

Vavysjcnbaesjoar

48 hours
The clue is likely referring to the Battle of Cannae from the Second Punic Wars.
Running Vavysjcnbaesjoar through a vigenere with a key of CANNAE yields Tailsfanoneohone.

For that reason, I protect Tailsfan101

Also his first game was 119, and this is 138, 38 being twice 19 kinda works so I guess there's that.
Told Y'all it wasn't me... :P (I'd never do such an obvious theme ;) )

The new sig says 2: Take to the skies!

Maybe this ID clue refers to someone who does/did a flying event, or maybe someone that wants to do ornithology in the 2020 season??

TailsFan101 is saved. I sure hope the next is not so lucky

How does a ragtag volunteer army, in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross's flag higher.

What is the answer? A simple keyword would suffice.

The long string of l's and a's work as baconian cipher where A = l and B = a, which decodes to say amkfiveseveneight.
Idk, someone else could protect me if they want an accuse because I already have 3.

Meanwhile, that is a verse from Hamilton's "Guns and Ships". I'll try some vigeneres with possible keywords and see if I can find anything.

Some cipher with a key of Lafayette or Hamilton maybe? Idk ciphers so I’m kinda useless here when it comes to Hamilton.

Also I protect amk578 for the reason above.

Rossyspace's officer position has also been abandoned. The time is ticking officers. You're nowhere close to solving most ID clues of mine. Only one has been successfully interpreted. And if any of you drop off the radar, the game may end because there are no officers left. There's only 5 of you left...
