Generally people don't like this role but some people do, and I know I can at times find it enjoyable to just sit back and not focus on anything in general. It's nice not to have obligations to other people. Anyhow, Survivor is an unfortunate case really. Due to being immune and winning with everyone, many players who are found to be immune tend to claim survivor. This has lead many to not trust survivor claims and lynch them out of fear they are a WW or Arsonist. Now, in face of this, it tends to drive survivors to side against the Town, especially as without lynching a Survivor cannot die to town were as other factions may kill them out of spite. Additionally if a transporter uses a survivor as a meat shield he may get pissed off and side against the town. This tendency to "betray town", even though technically they cannot betray anybody since they win with everybody, leads many players to kill survivors for no reason. they are afraid that in a 1v1 town vs. mafia the survivor would side with mafia. Overall, since survivor is such an easy claim, town tends to dislike survivor claims. This leads survivors to go against town, creating even more distrust between the two. This is a self sustaining reaction that cannot be easily stopped unfortunately.
