I was actually town fire fighter all along

Mainly because ‘most effective’ cares less about the quality of the fake part of the fakeclaim and more about how much damage it does

By this standard fakeclaiming a post restriction that requires you to make the game unreadable and doing it is a strong contender for the category
Even if it’s not plausible at all

why do we need a post restriction to do this

Because if you make the thread literally unreadable then the mods will probably ban you

realistically I think you have to consider both ‘was it a good claim’ and ‘did it work’

like if someone jokingly says at the start of the game ‘I am a town role that instantly wins the game if I am alive on day 3,’ not expecting anyone to take it seriously, and the mafia are like ‘oh no! /concede’ then it was effective but not really in the spirit of the award

but also even if someone comes up with a brilliant fakeclaim if it doesn’t work it’s not really this-award material

like if we went by this definition me claiming neutral reporter was really effective at “not dying instantly for not knowing what color my “town” Rolecard is” but it was a trash claim

A good example of a fakeclaim that worked was Marl’s fakeclaim in the OW game
It was a good claim and it worked

Meanwhile Astand’s fakeclaim in Mafia Academy
Well
lmao

it only breaks the site if you post large amounts of it so it should be fine if I tested
