Here is my general guide for surviving as Survivor (assuming ranked)

Assuming any is not NK (since odds are small and generally, if the any is NK, the town and mafia will both be paranoid enough to lynch you anyways):

If there is a SK kill night 1 and no dousing N1 (so NK is suspected werewolf): Request to be jailed N2. Tell the jailor not to kill you since if you are the SK or WW and he dies, you risk being exposed and you want to side with town. Once the jailor confirms you are not SK/WW, you can use that to prove you aren't SK or WW, which makes everyone ignore you. If you play your cards right, you can use vest N3-6 or N4-7 just to be safe.

If there is an arsonist in your game, you do need to be careful about playing your cards. My typical way of dealing with this is using the fact that the arsonist will typically try to claim survivor. Once someone else claims survivor, come out and counter it, say that the only way they are survivor is if they are the any and if they are not survivor, the town can feel free to lynch you. Do note, while it does sound like a jester strat in some way (claim survivor to get yourself lynched), if the person you get lynched is survivor, chances are a vigilante will pop a bullet in you, so I will not recommend it.
