If it's a fakeclaim provided by Faraday, then he would do it as if it was an actual role he was creating, so there very likely wouldn't be any difference between a fakeclaim and an actual role.
I think that it would have been very ambitious of me to take my fakeclaim of Wallace, and then link it to abilities that weren't supposed to have anything to do with Wallace, ESPECIALLY considering my limited flavour knowledge. (If you think I'm lying about this, then tell me and I'll try and prove it to you.)
And I'm pretty conservative as scum anyway. I've always claimed VT or the town version of my mafia role in the case of a neighbour.
I know that in theme games the flavour is important, so I wouldn't try and fit the role of whatever PO character I am to my Barksdale Organisation fakeclaim, because I'd be bound to be caught out from my PoV if they weren't supposed to go together.
Also, I obviously planned to claim what I did a lot earlier than I needed to. A decision like that would be one that I made later when I decided which was necessary, not Day 1/Day 2.

Antoher thing to consider is that I imagine with Jason/Absta as buddies I wouldn't have had much guidance as to what I should be claiming etc.

Your lack of flavor knowledge is the whole reason your fakeclaim fails!
Ben? your thoughts?
I wish I could read the dead thread. I need guidance here.
They are probably all dying from the suspense.

What I'm saying is is my lack of flavour knowledge would mean I wouldn't have the confidence to mess around with my fakeclaim.
They are probably telling you to vote Benmage.
PEdit: Because I'm not quite as easy as you thought I'd be!
I'm sorry for my subpar performance. RL, unbelievable. GOOD.. Obviously getting engaged etc etc.. but I couldn't enjoy this game the way I wanted, nor do it the justice it deserved.

I was a universal town read for most of the beginning of the game... I didn't even mind the odd setup(wow are traitors pointless), the fact that replacements ruin games (see my ability to lynch petapan vs kuribo... FML)... nor jason being the worlds worst person in mafia history. I meant everyword... blacklist him please.
I would usually relish the challenge to overcome losing 50% of my team by D2.. see scummieswinvintational... But that week leading up to my 8day trip to South Africa.. the trip itself and the return.. It was really the week before where my town status wavered and it was due to RL... bumming me out even more as I couldn't do anything, forcing content wouldn't have helped... I like to manipulate the game... I can't just do catch-up posts...

This game was very internally conflicting with Jason as a partner.. and PTW, and just plainly not performing the way I wished I could've... obviously there were good moments, D1-3... the end etc.. but the mid game gaps... ughhh...
I'm not even going to go to the point of zero team to help direct the game...

I'm just sorry I wasn't more town.
Also, I'm not sure whether saying I would have killed Kuribo (even though it was true) was a good idea.

I WAS LITERALLY TOTALLY FIXED ON LYNCHING BENMAGE UNTIL YOU SAID IT.
I'm taking an undetermined hiatus because of this game, because it became a chore, because I didn't have the time I wished I had to devote to it.. and it became self deprecating/depressing.

I'm sorry Camn!
All the best Benmage. I felt like that about halfway through this game, but just now I'm enjoying mafia again, so I hope we see you back soon!
