I do also think it goes back to games that allow PMs and such need to have ways for wolves to avoid easy detection (well, all games really, but probably more-so when networking is possible). In an all PR game, the list of known town roles (if any) needs to be much smaller than the number of townies, so that wolves can invent plausible-sounding fakeclaims (or be provided them by the narrator). In a mass-claim situation, every role known to exist is either a hard-confirmed townie or a lynched wolf (possibly after a mislynch if town guesses wrong on who they think is lying).

A wolf with a fake-claim that is not trivial to see through can do a lot of damage if he's trusted by the network.
Hmm... makes me think for my game, I might let the wolves know a handful of Town roles that are fake, so they can have some safe fakeclaims.

I guess all my experience as a wolf when dealing with fakeclaims was when it was relatively private claims, only to 1-3 people, not a mass claim situation.
