"Or state your the S.K/Mafia/other neutral killing role, and watch as people immediatley label you "Jester""

That works only if there are no sheriffs/Invest around, since after making such a claim you will be almost surely investigated, and the result will screw you.

Trying to pass as jester rarely works."

Not really true. People don't generally care about anyone who claims jester like this. I once had a game where on day 2 I said "Hey guys, I'm the SK you should lynch me or you'll all die." All but only one or two people were dead so there were still investigative roles left. Though no one outright said "You are the Jester" I went on to win this game and I have seen many others do the same.

I know from experience that this plan really does work and is in fact quite a good one. The only problem is that late into the game if no one has been lynched for a while some people start to think lets just lynch the jester and get it over with. This may also happen if the game is close to a draw just to insure that the game goes on for longer. So in that respect it can be dangerous.
