This is my first NOC game, so honestly, I'm a little bit lost, but on the issue of mass claiming, I feel that it's not a good idea, this is because GF is getting free info and if Hooker has discovered his role, him as well. This is in contrast to Village, who gain very little, as claims aren't that useful without more results, I feel if we're going to mass claim, we need more info.
Did we ever find out about if silence would still go through despite him being killed?
Most people should have an idea of what role they are by now, most roles have some idea who they are by now.
If you don't have any info that helps you work out your role, then you can narrow it down to Personal Trainer, Mayor of Hooker
