-=- Crooks Hollow III Mafia -=- Day Five? (3/21)

Can someone explain to me why mass-claims are exclusively anti-town? While it does risk revealing town power roles, solid claims would then risk putting scum-parties in jeopardy. I would think it would be frustrating to both.

Hence: Just because someone dislikes players claiming, doesn't mean they are town.

they're not but you generally expect the mod to have expected mass-claims and balanced the game as such

to quote a guide

'Massclaims are usually saved for the end game. To prevent against massclaims being too strong, mods will often include odd roles or give the scum fakeclaims, which have the potential to make a massclaim useless for the town. Likewise massclaiming too early can be beneficial to scum because it can tell them who they need to nightkill and in what order, whereas the town is often far less efficient.'

individual people claiming is far from a mass claim too and is only more likely to backfire for town if it's just townies claiming because it allows scum to narrow their options even more
