I usually stay silent until I find the right moment to arouse suspicion. I don't think I've ever lost more than once as a Jester, and it's my very favourite role because I'm really, really good at getting people to suspect me, apparently.

Another strategy which works is to be REALLY outspoken. Pretend to be a townie, but don't pretend any particular role. Just be generally town. Try to figure out the mafia, but don't get them killed - people will notice if you abstain from voting with mafia, and they'll think you've pretended to be town but are actually mafia. Adversely, if you abstain from voting with people you aren't sure are townies and they end up being town, people will think you tried to get them killed and you're mafia anyway. Fool the town into thinking you've played a role reversal, and they'll lynch you -- and if the mafia thinks you're helping them, they won't kill you.
