Consider this:

1. John is accused of being Mafioso. He then says "Yes I am the Mafioso". Many people will know this is the "Jester Strategy", since he claimed Mafioso after he was accused, and will lynch him anyway.

2. Some day, John suddenly claims being Mafioso, telling people to lynch him. There might even be an Investigative left. On a scale from Mafioso to Jester, what would you rate John?

Everyone can attempt option 1, but it works better the less evidence there is against you, preferably none. Option 2 is riskier, since you might actually be investigated/interrogated/seen killing/roleblocked/jailed/etc. It might be worth a try if you're a Random Mafia.
