I'm going to assume since you posted all of that unsolicited that you want to talk about it. :p
Cop with a guilty: "Phoenicks has to be mafia, I'm 100% sure and I'm not explaining why."
This can be said of all three of your examples, but I think this one is the best fit: I've seen this more often as an example of poor/lazy cop-play than intentionally softclaiming. Rather than build an actual case, they'll claim a gut-tell or, "there's just something off about that one thing they said... can't put my finger on it. Must be scum," etc. Of course you're right that more often than not they succeed in tipping the Mafia off to their role without the Town figuring it out (or following their weak lead), I just think it's more because some players feel getting the Cop role is a license to be lazy and stop scumhunting than because they actually thought softclaiming was a good idea.

Think this could be quite an interesting discussion:

What are your mafia pet peeves? Like, the things that people do in a mafia game that make you cringe and want to scream at them?

One of mine is when people make a truly random vote against someone who's done nothing of noteworthy scuminess, and then ask that person what their defence is. You can't defend yourself when no accusation's even been made against you. I hate random voting to begin with, but this just adds to the ridiculous side of it.

when people think that 'meta' is all-caps

what EXACTLY do people think it stands for omg

Noting a big lol right now.

With the mafia games sign up thread there are no small games up right now; and 3 of the 4 in waiting are being hosted by people already hosting. Master Mew, Zenax, and myself. :p

So shouldn't two of those be taking sign ups, or skipped to ones ready until the host is ready to start?

I'll see what I can do about it... I'll wait a day or two for confirmation.

@Everybody in here

There are two roles that are going to be discarded in my mafia game due to two people having not confirming, but I'm thinking of leaving them open for one person.

I'll accept one sub to take one of the two roles. We only just got through Day 1.

I'll leave the spot open for 24 hours. If there isn't a sub who can take it, then I'll discard the roles for good.

why not. I'll take that spot.

Also, in other news, I'm done oiling up Bionicle Mafia Again, and I'm ready to cut some roles if necessary.

I'm excited! :D I used to play Bionicles with my brother when we were both very young. I'm in this for nostalgia.

It sure brings back memories, my sis and I used to do the same, and I could pend hours dismantling and building my Bionicles into all sorts of things. I still have them with me.

Oh damn. Bionicles. Now there's a blast from the past. I remember being such a fanboy when I was little. Like, to the point where I even read the novels.

I miss when they had a lot of new ideas and didn't make so many new and special pieces for the models. The Rahkshi are by far my favorite line.

Awesome! Can't wait for it to open up!

I never had many sets (the only ones I have are 4 of the Toa Nuva (can't remember their names, but it's the ice, water, earth, and rock Toa)), but what I did have, I would build and rebuild over and over again. I also would read the comics that they'd include with the Lego Club magazines. Good times.

Boy, I must be the biggest Bionicle nerd in here. I have kept up with everything up until after early 2012. Yep, definitively a nerd.

I even have some MOCs (My Own Creations) in my room.
