The one problem with name claims in this mafia game is, it's not really based off anything. The mafia game is based off a fodd court. What does that mean? well, the mafia can just make up a restaurant name and no one would know if they were telling the truth or not. There's no way of a mass claim working on a mafia game that has no suitable theme. While this strategy would be the type to work in a game like FE mafia or Lost Mafia, it would not work here, in my opinion.
Well, yes, the mafia could lie. I never said this would catch us all the mafia in one day. It's possible for the mafia to lie and get away with it, for now. But, if the mafia lie, there's also the chance of them claiming a restaurant that someone else has, catching them in that lie. It's not a foolproof master plan, it's just a plan that I think could be helpful.

I still don't see how it could work though, since someone can falsely roleclaim, and no one would know it. While it is true that it couldn't hurt us, the powers of the town would be revealed, meaning like someone who owns a pharmacy, would mean=instant mafiakill. A security kiosk=instant mafiakill. masons=not so instant but eventual modkill. I think it could hurt us based on the fact that we dont know the restaurant names. I could say like.....Charlie's Texas Hots, as an example. How would we know what that is? If a mafia member did that, we're dead, since they know who all the town power players are now.
First off, I don't think there would be a pharmacy in a food court. Secondly, I'm assuming that everyone here is a restaurant, fast food joint, pizza place, or some other place where we get something to eat. And if everyone claims a food place, I don't see how any of them would point immediately to the power roles. And why would there be any masons claimed in this process? I suggested claiming restaurant names, not role names. While there could be some restaurants that could be seen as masons, it certainly won't be definite.
And I don't think you could actually make up a restaurant. My food place is real, and I'm assuming all the others are real, too.
In retrospect, I am making several assumptions with this plan. We're all food places, and we're all real. The plan is certainly weaker if this is not the case, but it seems like a safe assumption to make for this game.
As for order, if we agree to do a mass name claim, we should determine order randomly.

Could you at least say what you think about the idea of a mass name claim?
