Definition of a win: You survive to endgame and your faction won. If your faction won but you died at anytime during the game then it is NOT a win.
I've been keeping a list of all the games I've played and have been on a winning streak. So I started wondering who has the longest winning streak. I'm currently at four wins in a row: Golden Pantheon, General's Pro, Dazza's First, Hectic Eclectic. Two mafia and two townie wins.

Why do you need to survive to endgame for it to count as a win? This is more "Longest Endgame Win Streak"

Staying alive shouldn't matter especially as there are a good number of roles where taking a bullet for town means you played your role well.
Longest win streak: 4. New Briarsburg, x-men, platoon, dead Space. Town town, town survivor, cult.
Id have to confirm but I think I'm currently on a 3 game win streak with an Sk win mixed in.

@You others, I know there are roles where dying means you helped town win. But for this I find it easier to count the way I've laid out. If you want you can start a thread with your own definition of a win. Personally I feel that if I die in a game (especially in the beginning) then it doesn't count as a "win". Because I wasn't able to contribute for most of the game, I feel like I didn't help my faction win. I still count those as "semi-wins" though.

I don't like that distinction as it could incentivate intentional selfish/poor play. Think of a cop stockpiling guilty results without claiming because he knows the doctor is dead and he will not have anyone to protect him when it's night.
I know it's a ridiculous example, but we risk introducing some sort of shenanigans in our games if there is a distinction between "wins" and "semi-wins", for intance.
Back to the OP, I don't think I remember winning a game without dying other than as an arsonist in Soundman's first mafia, so that would give me a highest winning streak of 1 game.

You are right it could. Personally I would never play like that, it's just not fun. I'm a team player at heart and would rather die to help my faction win (or the chance to win) than to horde guilty results, etc. just so I could count it as a "win". Frankly as long as the game is good I have just as much fun when my faction loses as when we win.
I just posted this because I was interested in how many people have had these kinds of wins in a row since my last four have been like this. Not to say that this is the only kind of win that counts.

5 now with Power Role Draft Mafia? Try to build it as big as you can before Two Sides A ends (since you died there, that will break your streak as per your rules).

Quick Rodion! Startup a new power role with 7 players so soundman can win again!
