can I get peoples thoughts on mass claiming. I know some people swear by it, and others are philosophically opposed

It has positives and negatives, but the general logic is that it puts a timer on town scanners' lives. Lets say we have one cop, and one doctor, in the setup, and everyone claims. That means scum kills the doctor today, and the cop tomorrow, unless they have an extra kill to burn. So the cop would be able to give us best case scenario one scan from N1 and then between night kills and roleblocks, very likely gives us no further scan. Maybe one more from N2 if scum has no way to roleblock or strongman.

So it's kind of a numbers game if we want to let the cop and doctor die because we think we can solve the game in the next two days and hit scum every day.

I am typically anti-mass claim in general because I think it ruins the fun of the game for people, but there's no doubt that it could make the game incredibly more solvable if we did it. Would you like it if you rolled Cop and didn't get more than one scan because a mass claim happened?
