I don't think a mass claim would have worked. Maaaaaybe because mafia started with an inactive scum team, so they couldn't be there to participate and hence would be considered scummy and be lynched. But with an active scum team, they can blend in. It's really not that difficult to find a fake claim.
Mass claim would've helped scum locate the cop, and had they done that, this game (in hindsight) would have gone in a totally different direction. It would've hurt them as they would be forced to make sure the night action results they give out are consistent and not easily disproved. It's a bit more difficult, but not impossible.
I wasn't worried a mass claim would break the game. It's really not that different from a regular mafia game setup without the day 1 mechanic I used. I hadn't thought of giving scum safe claims though, so something to think about in the future if I decide to get creative in my setups. Idk though, safe claims take away from the fun of playing as scum.
