An alignment is a faction in a game of Mafia. Any true game of mafia will have an "informed minority" and an "uninformed majority", each of which are separate alignments. Most of the time these are referred to as the Mafia and Town, respectively. It is also possible to have players who are aligned with third parties, such as Cults; or aligned with themselves, such as Survivors.

The decision on who wins or loses a game of Mafia is essentially always decided on a factional level. For instance, if the Town is the only faction remaining in the game, every member of the Town wins, even if they are not alive at the end of the game.

Players who are modkilled are usually removed from their faction, and since they are dead, they are guaranteed to lose.
