How about instead of attacking me, you explain what I don't understand?
A fakeclaim isn't made by "bullshiting and making stuff up and hoping someone who understands the hosts mind better doesn't call you out on a claim," it's a delicate artform that takes into account:
Risk- You don't know the setup, so you don't know if you're going to be counterclaimed. Go ahead, claim doc. If there's an actual doc, and he counterclaims you, the players will have to decide who they believe more.
Forethought- A well-done fakeclaim will be planned out and prepared for long before the claim is made. Gonna claim cop? You're going to have to claim results. You better damn well not have placed even an iota of suspicion of someone after the time you supposedly received your "innocent result."
Strategy- There are ways to counterclaim someone besides directly. Scum can claim tracker and say the "cop" never went anywhere, for example.
There are so many more nuances to a good fakeclaim than "bullshitting and making stuff up and hoping someone who understands the hosts mind better doesn't call you out on a claim." The fact that you don't seem to understand this, tells me you really don't understand what you're talking about. And I don't mean that as an insult, i'm simply stating a fact that's obvious to anyone who's actually played here.
This isn't some pisspoor backwater mafia site where you can, as you say, claim to be bus driven in an open setup without a bus driver. Do you know how fast you'd be lynched for that? I wouldn't even have to press my caps lock to get your ass strung up on that one.
