Why not massclaim?

[Blair]

1. Day 1 massclaims kept hurting town

2. So towns stopped doing them

3. So mods stopped bothering to make them hurt town

4. So towns started doing them again

5. So mods will now make them hurt town

6. See #1

what happened to site meta that "the mods should have made sure an early massclaim punishes town" is apparently much less of a thing than it used to be?

Can you link some games where D1 massclaim would have been good?

[Flubbernugget]

I can't. But they'd have to exist for massclaim to have a worthwhile discussion I would think?

[Something_Smart]

In my experience there's rarely, if ever, discussion of massclaiming on D1, except in open/partially open games with unusual mechanics. I think that designing setups to avoid them being broken by massclaim is just as much of a thing as it used to be. (And usually, there's not much you have to do-- mainly make sure that scum have enough tools to shut down town protectives/investigatives if they know exactly who those roles are.)
