You're an innocent child. You claim miller in your first post day 1 so that a cop doesn't waste an investigation on you.

You're a JOAT with a vig shot. You claim 1-shot vig to hide the fact that you can do additional things.

You're a hider. You claim weak visitor to bait scum into trying to NK you.

You're a doctor, you claim VT because duh

etc, etc

1) cop + ic = a mod i don't want to play another game with
2) that's not "lying" per se. just... leaving some stuff out.
3) that could backfire.
4) why...?

Not all claims happen during mass claim...

if you're starting from a position where you're run up and forced to claim, any gambit you try is probably doomed from the get go
