Anti-Town is a catch-all term that applies to any role that is neither pro-Town or ambiguous. An anti-Town role or faction is one whose win condition is to kill off all pro-Town players. The most common anti-Town role is the Mafia Goon.

In addition to killing all the pro-Town roles, most third-party anti-Town roles also need to kill off any other anti-Town players in the game. The most common third-party anti-Town role is the Serial Killer.

Anti-Town roles or factions are commonly referred to collectively as Scum.

Used in a mafia game:

The phrase "anti-town" is often used in debate in a mafia game to describe play that is harmful to the town. For example, lurking, self-voting, and claiming without reason are usually considered to be anti-town behavior. There is often debate in a mafia game about the question of if someone's anti-town behavior is inherently scummy, if it implies that the person acting in an anti-town way are more likely to be scum because of it, or if it's just a sign of poor play.
