Isaac - I of course, never answered, and my victory condition says nothing about winning with the town, though I believe I am a townie, and I seriously doubt I am the only one whose victory condition did not say something straightforward like "Win with town", my RM never mentions mafia, and never mentions a VC dependent on town victory, though it is a legitimate probable interpretation. I would not have answered the question anyway, but I could not have actually done so truthfully, and again, I'd bet other players if they examined their RMs would see similar questionable VC Phrasing.
My role message does explicitly state that I am part of the town, though not the usage of 'town' as a group or faction, merely that I live there. However, what I find interesting is that you say your message contains no mention of the mafia. I wonder what your victory condition is then, because mine is victory with the elimination of the mafia, to paraphrase. So colour me intrigued.
Town is mentioned in mine too, twice, explicitly as the place in which I live and work, neither usage is associated to alignment, just "As the town's carpenter" or "As the Town Blacksmith..." or "As a farmer of the town" types. I don't want to imply there's necessarily a mystery to mine, the most obvious interpretation of my VC is win with town, but the wording is such that "You win when peace is restored to the Town" with the late game twist of maniacal laughter "That's right... the Peace of the Grave! Go Team Evil!" or "You win when the threat to your family is gone... MWHAHAHA... your family are evil cultists, kill townies to protect them!" I didn't really get that feeling from the RM but Katie couldn't exactly include an ominous soundtrack to play in the background

Incidentally, this also means I am exceptionally skeptical as to the existence of any third party scum, unless I'm some strange new role that wins regardless of what happens to non-mafia scum. That seems unlikely, still, on the off chance of that being true: "Hey, non-mafia scum! Spare me, I have no incentive to oppose you!" 

I don't think we have a third party, we might have neutrals or converts but I don't view those as third party. I don't want to read too much into 'old school' or 'back to basics' but I do consider the primary interpretation to be town vs scum, all townie or scum, not too many roles and non-exotic role choices, and my own role is either vanilla or non-exotic, what qualifies as exotic is hard to gauge but probably any role that appeared in WoTmania games, which should be cops, docs, double voter, trackers, masons, vig, BP, bodyguard, RBer, super-killer, vulnerable killer (blademaster meets quarterstaff), SK, role detector... some others too, probably not Shaido half-doc

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
