> Yes. In the [T2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=481372) game, the players took advantage of a flaw in the moderator’s setup to ensure them the win by mass claiming Day 2. However, the flaw came from the game being an open set-up, which this one is not.

[For interested spectators, here is the post story made that laid out the reasons why a mass claim essentially ensured victory for the town](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10202923&postcount=616). FTR, I don’t blame pedescribe for the broken setup. It wasn’t until I saw that post from story that I understood that the mass claim would break the game.
