I loved iLord's claim in SoIaF. I think Niv made a gimmick named TravellingLaundromat in 40k Mafia and he claimed to be a Chaos Marine when we were hunting Chaos...
EWP: Except the difference is that in HP mafia, the play was a mafia tactic that went really well, rather than just really stupid town play. Comparing the two is really fail. You should know that. One was an individual townie causing a town loss. The other was the entire town's play causing the town loss. Big difference.
We really should have a Terrible Claims mafia. Plenty of awful claims to have as roles:
Fayul's Erestor in LotR Mafia
Carrion Pigeons' Manute in Sin City Mafia
Creampuffeater's Wu claim (Zhuge Jin) in ROTTK mafia
Chamber's masonry in Magic Mafia
Creampuffeater's Mafia2 Cop claim in Too Much Scum mafia
Sutherlands' Krobelus claim in DotA mafia
Jodoyodo's Lake in Statego Mafia
iLord's Tyrion Lannister in SoIaF Mafia
My Jin'e Udou claim in Kenshin Mafia (To be fair, and im biased, that game was b-roken)
A few others could be considered, such as KCW's in Power rangers, Abandon Hope's in Magic mafia, and plenty i've forgotten. (Hell, the ADD kid from high school could be considered....even though it wasnt a false claim)
Dirk Gently, P.I. – Anytime during the night, you may PM me with a message, which I will forward to Holmes. One time during the game, you may tell him that you have any or all of the following abilities: cop, roleblocker, or a single nightkill. Obviously, this will be a lie, however he will gain the ability. You win with the town.
The joke was that Holmes was SCUM, while Jobie was town. So Jobie false claimed immediately via pm and gave Holmes an inspect, roleblock and extra nightkill.... for massive fail.

I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
Not so much a claim but that whole thing in Star Trek EU where Soron made up all that info... yeah. I can only imagine how much worse the Chamber thing was.
There was the time I called Cyan as Sephiroth in FF7 Mafia, but didn't actually say it until I got lynched as a traitor. Cyan won that game as SK.
Listen to the mafia sometimes.

I just remembered my false claim in ROTTK. Claim cop result on my scum partner to attempt to find out my scum partner's unknown partner's identity so I could lynch him and ended up getting F'ed.
What about my ADHD kid claim in High School? That was genius. Spend 3 days setting up a false claim and a false restriction and everything, and get counterclaimed by the ADD kid with an even more nuts (but true) ability.
Man that game was borked. The serial killer role ending up nuking itself when the roles got randomised was pretty legendary.

Not only did he claim Chaos, he also claimed Miller Delayed Vig; the delay meaning if we left him alive to test his ability, we wouldn't find out if he killed the correct test target until AFTER it was too late to lynch him, giving him 2 backstabs.
Really not sure how he could have made it sound scummier lol. Maybe adding Tom and Jerry in there...or NK immune...

IIRC in that game I outrageously claimed Captain Picard (who automatically killed anyone who overheard my captain's log, ie targetted me) after being seen by the tracker while I was killing the cop, and the tracker's result happened to not mention the word "target" AND his ability flavour would be impossible for me to "overhear". I laughed so hard when the town bought it (at least for the day).
Going even further back, who was it that got enormously busted on day 1 of Dollar Mafia by claiming to have been robbed on night 0, only to discover that the watcher had randomly watched them on night 0 and knew that nothing had happened to them? Fun times.
Creampuffeater's Wu claim (Zhuge Jin) in ROTTK mafia
ROTTK mafia was hilarity central with the claiming and the backstabbing roulette and the meltdowns (also my Hail Mary "I'm the Emperor!" claim, which I swear would have won if I'd come up with it two days earlier...)
If there's any game I'm still bitter about though, it's that one. Still believe that Az and I deserved to win that game only to be screwed by bastard modding on what, day 10?

I keep my money in the bank and now they're telling me I withdrew $50000 yesterday that I most certainly did not. Of course I complained to the manager, but he said that his only recourse was to hand the matter over to the police.
Quote from Pibbly »
I can watch people's bank accounts. I happen to watch Bateleur's last night. Guess what, there was absolutly no movement on his account. Nothing in, nothing out.
So Bateleur, had i not been watching your account, i would have believed you, but oh well, you lose.
Not so much a claim but that whole thing in Star Trek EU where Soron made up all that info... yeah. I can only imagine how much worse the Chamber thing was.
it was also fun watching seppel believe it and defend soron
DIdn't Soron claim that if he died, the mod won? That should go in falseclaim mafia.
Yup. He also insisted the mod could win the game despite there being no possible interactions with him. And he was 100% there was a borg cult. and that he had hidden abilites and rolenames and an imaginary restriction on not being allowed to say anything. And some really bizarre roleplaying.
And then he got daykilled.
Maybe we should make a role where anything they say becomes true. Or rather, they are told it becomes true

Even better than that:
Bateleur, in Kamigawa, was the cop. False claims unnightkillable to keep the Mafia off his back.
That moment in Shaman Mafia screwed X number of claiming plans for years, because people would inevitably refer back to Shaman Mafia. That seems to have faded off over the years.
Of course, the town's "epic fail" there wasn't really that bad, there was no reason there for the town to believe the scum had info like that. Even in the post-Sin City era that sort of thing would be unexpected.
The Town in Shaman Mafia did not lose that game because of that claim.

Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
Not that this stopped anyone from blindly going along with Puzzle's 'Cunning Plan' in the first Star Trek Mafia. Seems ironic..the town got completely screwed by that plan, too. Of course, Puzzle wasn't scum then.

oran16 wandered down the dusty road, wringing his gnarly hands as he considered what mischief he might be up to today. He had been walking all morning, and came upon a place he did not recognize. There was a stone wall covered with mosses and vines in the forest, barely visible through the tree growth. He decided to follow it and soon found a door in the wall. "What a curious adventure," he thought as he stepped through the doorway and began to explore.
He was never seen again.
loran16 was Rumpelstiltskin, Town Lynch Doubler
Yep, Daykilled on Post #55.
Epic.

Funny story, its not Yuanti, but this player had ANOTHER gimmick in another game, and yuanti like a jerk revealed this to me. (I also had a gimmick in that game, and yuanti felt, Hey lets show up loran!)
And because the guessing is just silly:
Minineko is Bertrand. (Now just Bert, apparently)
Like i said, its more boring than it sounds.
(He used to have the canadian flag, and used to have his name in his clan thread for "minineko" still as bertrand....but i see he's fixed that)
