Role Claiming

And it's often (but not always) a good idea to "counter-claim" if someone else makes a claim that seems to contradict what you know to be true. For example, someone else claims to be a mason, and you're a mason and they're not in your group; now, there COULD be two different mason groups in a game in theory, but I've never seen that actually done, so the other person is probably lying scum.

Claiming when you have an INFO role COMPLETELY RUINS THE GAME. If you have an info role you're supposed to LEAD the town into lynching the scum, not blantly saying "THIS PERSON IS SCUM CUZ I HAVE FACTS"... it makes the game 3432423423 times more boring!

Well, it is more fun to lead subtly, which is why I like cop but no doc type games. However, if you're a cop, there are times the correct stratigic move to do is to claim and claim your information, and if you don't do so, you're just hurting the town.
