I think it stems from my like of classic mode.

Framer can basically be whatever role he wants to be and claim anything. As framer, you have an alibi for investigators when they choose to investigate you, so long as your not picking a role where a framer wouldn't pick.

I could dawn an investigator persona and no one would be the wiser. As a player I'm able to pull of handling the "I was framed" act pretty well, which is paramount to playing a framer.

If the investigative roles die off and my night action is virtually useless, guess what. I can basically say whatever I want and throw suspision off other mafia roles and perhaps even get people lynched.

All and all it's really how you play it and make it work. I've had some of my best games.

Disguiser, while a fun concept, has poor execution. I mean, the ability to become someone else sounds pretty good from a mafia stand-point and to say whatever, for example, get someone else lynched and sponteneosly not live with the consequences the next day is great. If only it weren't so easy to counter. But then you can give the argument of forger and janitor, but roles that rely on other roles are not as fun as they are very predictible in game.
