...So a neutral watcher? Isn't that what a Watcher is that a Survivor also shares? Third Party. Only difference in alignment name?
Yes.

Thanks for running the game Wuba. It was a nice set up: all of the alignments had a fair chance of winning and all of the roles had the capacity to bring something game changing.

Survivor
Imp - Imp
(Auto) Avatar Of Pranks: When you win, you summon forth your master, the Prankster Demon. And naturally, like all demons, his idea of a prank is killing people. Because it’s HILARIOUS. At the end of each Day, after the lynch, the Prankster Demon randomly kills a player. You may also, during the Night, post about how hilarious anyone’s death was.
(Auto) Trickster: You receive a list of all players that targeted you. One of these players is randomly redirected to some other poor sap.
(1-Shot, Night) Disillusionment: All players are enchanted. Enchanted players randomly target players during this Night.

Alignment: Survivor
Wincon: You win when another alignment wins while you are alive or you are the only remaining player.
While I'd be talking about 'perhaps its the Survivor label' that makes people think such..
...I'm unsure if another alignment but Mafia won at the time. Cheeetar didn't lynch his target.

I was confused by this too, initially.

My PM with Wubba about that confusion:

I want to double check that I am specifically a survivor.  I don't know if this matters or not for gameplay, and I believe I understand my wincon, but it appears to clash with my role name.  In your OP, under the alignments spoiler you make these definitions:

Alignment: Watcher
Wincon: You win when the game reaches Day [day_number].

Alignment: Survivor
Wincon: You win when another alignment wins while you are alive or you are the only remaining player.

You are a Survivor. You win if you are alive at the beginning of Day 3.

I guess this only matters in how I think and in what result any investigator might gain if I am successfully investigated -

But am I actually a Survivor, and not a Watcher?
You are specifically a Survivor. A Watcher doesn't need to be alive.

I have to say, I'm incredibly grateful for this Wincon.  I understood what to do, I thought I could maybe do it, and I had... fun with it after I'd won.  This role taught me that Mafia -can- indeed be fun!

NQT, grats on your win, guy.  About time and here's to many more wins for you!

And Tiruin, I was apparently -not- a neutral third party.  Shakerag's targeting of 'enemies' N1 targeted -me-.  So I was Scum enemy, apparently.

Now I've won I'm going to take a break from mafia so I have more time to work on my projects. I can only realistically see myself playing in the next King of the Mafia.

Told you Shakerag was scum.


Also, the NQT Curse is broken- congrats.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

I find it funny that Cheetar fakeclaimed Ned Stark when he was really Littlefinger. Well played Cheet (apart from the getting-yourself-lynched thing). Presumably his target was Nerjin.

Yes! Somebody got it- My death was worth it!

Um?  Wasn't I your lynch target. Cheeetar?

Well, he was wrong about the target, but he understood the little thing I did that I was so proud of myself for.

This.

Also, we so lucked out on that win.  I thought we were royally screwed from D3 onwards.

It was certainly lucky that Nerjin and the demon eliminated one another as a threat.

Oh man, I feel embarassed.  I didn't think Imp's randomize went off N2 for some reason, so I was trying to pretend it did.  When it actually did.

I figured NQT got redirected, and since Tiruin died my gift went to a random person, and that the inspect on me got through normally. 

In hindsight, the second item there should have tipped me off. 

The RNG was a bit of a dick this game.
