A very good strategy as a framer is to pretend to be an exe. This only works in Classic, Ranked and Custom since the roles are decided. Framer is best for this strategy as it is quite a weak Mafia role.

In Classic, pretend exe in Day 2, where people can get lynched. In Ranked, pretend in Day 3. (This is dependent on how many Neutral Killing roles, more killing roles means there is less time for town to suspect you and you can pretend earlier.

Select a target, make sure he is not a Vig, Serial Killer, Jailor, or Any Non-Town roles as they can kill you out of spite and/or Executioner's targets' are always town. Claim he/she is mafia or any evil role. Be very insistent on that person, and make sure he is your only target. Most likely people will see you as an executioner and ignore you or say you are exe. If they say you are an exe, pretend to be worried and say no, no I am not exe. You will rarely be targetted by any town roles as they believe you to be an executioner. If people ask you for proof or your role, don't tell them, unless it is the mayor or jailor (in the night). If they ask, tell them you are an executioner.

If people start suspecting you/investigator investigates you, claim you are framed and/or try get the town to be confused to let you live for that day. In that night, kill of your "target" who you want to get lynched. The next day pretend to be a bad jester by claiming a dead unique (town) role or a dead role. People will generally think you are a bad/new player.

The executioner won't counter claim because he wants his target lynched/ is a jester and wants to be lynched himself.

Note: This only works if there is a neutral evil or a confirmed executioner in the game.
