The follow-up question occurred to me: Does the first player then win
after all?  I think not: The Traitor steals the win from player A and
gives it to player B, but Death steals it from player B.  No one wins
under the current conditions.


Mentioning this thread to my daughter, she thought to ask:

- How would the Silver Lining rule -- "Creepers do not prevent you
from winning" -- interact with the Traitor Creeper?

At first I thought that SL would allow a joint win: it keeps TT from
preventing player A's win, but SL would not prevent player B's also
winning.  But I quickly thought otherwise, looking at the intents: TT
says "instead of" the other player, so if A is not prevented then B
does not win in addition to A.  So, my guess would be Silver Lining
nullifies the winning effects of The Traitor.  It would still go to
the current player whenever a New Rule is played, of course.
