That's how it was in almost every Mafia I've played while using this username.

Okay, suit yourself. But be aware, my personal win condition is to be lynched off, so I always automatically win.

Having your own win condition is against the rules. ;)

Geez, what's with the sudden "No massclaiming rule" craze?

By taking away massclaiming, you're taking away a powerful town tool. There's only so far scumhunting can take you.

If you're a mafia member and you're caught off-guard by a fakeclaim, then it's your own fault for not being prepared. The first thing you should do as a mafia member is sort out your claim: can you afford to claim your actual role? If not, what WILL you claim. If nameclaiming is allowed, what character should you claim?

Preparation is key. Massclaiming is only overpowered against a lazy mafia.

Because it marginalizes the game. It puts the main decision making process in the hands of one or a few select "confirmed" townies that got the role claims, and puts everyone else in follow-the-leader sort of position. It makes the game stupid, especially if it happens early on.

I honestly view it as more of a setup issue - it's not that hard to design the game to not be broken by mass-claims.

I don't think it's really a game breaking issue at all, mafia still has a good chance of winning a game in which mass claims are taken. It can even be beneficial to the mafia if they can get themselves trusted enough to get their hands on the claims. My only problem with it is that I think mafia games are supposed to be about using good logicombat to either trick people if you're mafia or figure out who's trying to trick people if you're town. Having one or two people decide who is mafia based on what claim they submitted is kind of uninteresting in my opinion.
