Masons, I think, are better in the end-game assuming they survive. OTOH, claiming mason early in a game does seem a bit like "cover" for some other role. Unfortunately, it's hard to judge whether that role is town, mafia, or neutral. I recall pever's "neutrals" had some real impact in version one.

Joke detective claims are less useful than faked detective claims -- and possibly more annoying.
