Yes it is a strategy, but an obvious and easy one. Even in classic mode people will call you out in it. Real sheriffs usually wait a day or two to announce this because town would likely dismiss their claims as being a bad exe, then resulting in Mafia killing sheriff that night. I have used the 'pretend to be a sheriff D2' sometimes and it doesn't really work... what I do is claim sheriff D2 and then say a random person who's not my target is mafia. Then other investigative roles can see if they are, and a lot of the time the person I chose was actually mafia, so then as 'confirmed' sheriff I go lynch my target. (but this take awhile and your target could die in the proccess... and it's really hard to get lynched as a confirmed townie (unless majority is evil))
