This is historically accurate to a huge degree, and well worth testing. Sir Sam Vimes hopped on that bandwagon with an air of beef but I don't think we have any acrimonious history, so I call opportunism.

Bird seems clearly Town.

Infinitum is coming off as insincere and also overemotional, both of which are Scumsign.

peramene posted:

Inf literally always reads as scum to me, but I have an untrained eye. His store of okay is very aggressive, which is fine, but I don't get it. It certainly looks like fishing for info.

I'm pretty convinced that there's something somewhere that would make claiming bad for town but again, I'm no expert.

I doubt anything useful can be done with this first day.

Based purely on the OP, I suspect that scum do not have a night kill? Maybe? But instead ruin Kashuno's undoubtedly lovely work by loving with the pretty colors?

Beyond that, I don't know that I have anything of value to contribute apart from if I were scum, I would want to look like a bitter meta-enemy of my buddies to trick town later in the game, and here we have stickup and Inf measuring dicks. Is that meaningful? I dunno.

This is a scumpost too, especially the first paragraph if my intuition on Infinitum is correct, that is a scumbuddy posture.

So right now my top suspects are SSV, Infinitum, and peramene.

Nice to know that having never played in a game with you before, Lumpen, I can now disregard everything you say because you're wrong.

The interesting thing about this post is that it logically presupposes that I am Town. You seem to know for sure, which implicates you as Scum.

Just read Asiina, didn't take long. I am happy to lynch a lurker.

SSV has softclaimed Blue, in case anyone didn't put that together.
Inf has claimed Yellow. I am swayed from my previous post since then.
chores has claimed a paintbrush, and it is odd and bungled enough that it doesn't strike me as Scum moves. Looks like a power role I guess, 3p or Town.
peramene is less suspicious as SSV and Infinitum became less suspicious.\
On reread Absurd Revolver's posts are bad. Excusing oneself from deadline is a red flag.
Moatillata making mostly non-game-relevant posts, jumping on super shady chores bandwagon, soft busing Asiina but not putting an actual vote and excusing himself from further posting are all bad bad.

So you have... you seem to have claimed something like a Rolecop? (a typically Scum role), outing yourself as a Power Role for no reason, which does not suggest to me that you're Town.

Was this a claim to be "a brush", like Chores has claimed to be? Because if so then you voting Chores would not make much sense either.

Retro Futurist posted:

Oh! So wait, my pm specifically mentions blending with the same colour would be bad, and someone else mentioned the same thing, so it's safe to say that's a boiler plate thing in town PMs.

So why would chores even think about counter claiming? There's nothing in there to suggest that the same colour is another alignment or anything, and it obviously allows for multiple people to have the same colours.

I can't see the thought behind it unless his PM was fundamentally different.

##vote chores

I mean, what is the case considering now that he has indeed claimed his PM is fundamentally different.

I'm a Red Pallette. I attempted last night to mix with Byers but failed. I assume this is because he was not a palette and also he was dead.

I claim in response to the flips because I assume that Gulag was the "SK" and so any brushes that dip me would get a now-useless power.

Continuing my suspicions from the end of D1, ##vote Moatillata.

Lumpen posted:

Moatillata making mostly non-game-relevant posts, ~~jumping on~~ launching the super shady chores bandwagon, soft busing Asiina but not putting an actual vote and excusing himself from further posting are all bad bad.

I also still do not like Absurd Revolver's claim of being a Rolecop brush, and the way his voting Chores D1, in context, makes no sense with his claim. If his claim is true and he's Town, he would have reason to come to the opposite conclusions about Chores from what he posted.

I would like a Final D1 Votecount posted please.
Like Moatillata, peramene also ended the day without a vote down, I know that.

Would it not make more logical sense that you visited Gulag, killed him, and Gulag killed Byers?

MAKES U THINK

I theorize that SK Gulag killed Byers for this post:

Byers2142 posted:

There is an SK. I expect multiple kill.

which stupidly softclaimed SK Cop.

and Scum killed Gulag for this post:

I'm just Brown.

Yeah it sounds like you were targeted by a Scum ability to turn you to useless poo poo (even moreso, I mean).

Asiina flipped Black, remember, and her PM in the flip said each night she could target another player to turn them black (without changing their alignment).

Infinitum posted:

As I said I believe I'm essentially 'Vanilla' town

I lose the ability to mix if I target someone that isn't a colour.

There's probably a role out there that benefits from this, but gently caress if I know.
Just putting it out there to be useful

The gimmick of the game is that the Town palettes mix to make abilities for the Brushes to pick up.
Red (Byers) = SK Cop
Yellow (chores) = ??

Green, Orange, Purple probably confer better powers.

Scum turn Town palettes black and brown to restrict powers.

Absurd Revolver has also claimed to be a brush, so may be the Blue Brush, or may be a Scum Brush (effectively rolecop?) or just a Scum liar.

Reading plus logic.

Tobbs Gnawed posted:

The aspiring Mafiartists gathered around Asiina, believing that she was going to try and ruin their grand design. With the tip of a cup, she got washed away, never to darken their masterpiece.

You are the black palette. You want to make the picture dark, gloomy, and depressing. Maybe it would be better just to paint the whole thing black. Once per game, at night, you can choose to ##mix with another player. If they are a palette, this will permanently turn them black. It won't change their perspective on the game, but it's definitely not going to help them out in any way. If they're anything other than a palette, this will have no effect. You also share a factional night kill. You are scum aligned and win when all threats to scum are eliminated.

For a guy who bases his game on logic, that's a pretty big assumption you're making there Lumpen.

How would you know that being turned Brown is a scum ability?

Almost like you have INSIDER INFORMATION

##vote Lumpen

If it were not N1 then becoming Brown could happen by mixing Green/Purple/Orange, but if you READ YOUR (claimed) PM you will see that even that would not be possible on N2+ either.

If you have some other theory after reading the flips and your PM (if you indeed got a Town Yellow Pallette PM), do tell. This is really not very complicated with the flips being the entire text of the PMs and the claims that have been posted so far.

What does my PM have to do with anything, other than you skirting the issue.

You just lumped Brown and Black as scum abilities/colours, when at the moment we can only assume that Brown is a bad colour.

I can tell you are really struggling. It is ok though, you can re-read all this if you end up in LYLO or something and it'll make sense then I hope.

i think we can win by massclaiming now that we've found the 13th character

the setup is probably brush x3, palette x6, scum x3, sk x1

using ppl's mixing actions from n1 is probably enough to figure out who lied and whatnot

Stickup's claim is a bit dubious.

this is a stickup posted:

well I'm gonna nip this in the bud before we start assuming the wrong things since that's where we're headed anyway: the latter should be correct, I'm a sponge

basically like a JOAT based on the colors in play, I guess? I get a (random?) color each night based on a mix of all current colors of palettes and dab players for effect.
I thought we would all be things until people started claiming colors. my pm says combinations are a thing but not how they happen or anything like that.

dunno if brushes get the same things, but I can confirm that different colors give different powers and mixed colors are more powerful (than red, at least).
I started as orange, which is cop, and checked chores last night. he is town. unclear what color I'll be tonight, I assume tobbs will send this to me when the day ends

Sorry stickup, I think you are Scum and telling lies.

You say you had Orange Cop power and investigated chores. That would not be a sensible play for Town at all after Asiina flipped. Chores was the first vote on Asiina, and she flipped Scum. I believe you targeted Chores, and I believe he is Town, but I do not believe you did a Cop investigation on him.

Also I think it sucks for you if you are Scum and this setup was so easily broken by a D2 massclaim. And getting stuck with Asiina for a scuumbuddy.

Infinitum posted:

I attempted to mix with bird last night (As I saw no downside to it, as it would only effect myself)

Tobbs informed me that mixing was a 1shot colour.

So either bird failed to carefully read his PM, like Infinitum, or is lying and hosed up his fakeclaim. Do you people seriously not read your PMs or the flips?

Anyway, it is most likely that Stickup is Scum. He got hosed by a bad team but also probably should have fakeclaimed better.
