A Survivor is a lone player whose goal is to live until any other faction achieves their Win Condition, be it Town or scum. If the Survivor dies, it loses.

Survivors are not known for getting any kind of compensation to help them achieve their Win Condition.

Variations

Sometimes Survivors simply have to live until a certain point in the game (i.e. Day 3) instead of all the way through the game.

Use and Power

Survivor is almost always thrown into games for thematic reasons. Not many people want to play as one. In practice it's worth somewhat less than a Vanilla Townie.

Play Advice

Survivors are traditionally considered anti-Town and thus premium lynch targets. In truth, whether a Survivor is a burden to the Town is up to the Survivor's mentality. The Survivor can't be too much of a help to the Town or else they will get killed at Night; they can't be too much of a burden to Town or they will get lynched for sanity's sake. Thus, playing as Survivor requires the player to pace themselves.

One nasty strategy at early LyLo as Survivor is to vote a Townie immediately and let the scum perform an extended quickhammer for the win.
