Vi:
What is your opinion so far of the following players: Katsuki, nopoint, Starbuck? No, this is not a random list.
Magna & Fate:
It should be pretty easy to think of realistic scenarios where knowing colors can help scum. For example, what if colors are related to abilities? What if scum/SK win conditions involve something with the colors?

I actually missed where Andrius claimed his color choice when I read that post initially, but you are correct, I don't think he (or SensFan in recent pages) should have done that either.
I admit that my SpyreX vote is more of "he's being unhelpful/anti-town" rather than "he's being scummy" at this point. He hasn't done anything since then to make my change that opinion though.
Despite his poorly-reasoned (or rather, non-reasoned) vote, Andrius is likely town for bringing up the rings. No reason for scum to do that. Andrius, how about going with your own thoughts and not just following Fate because he told you to?
The continued harping on the role assignment thing by SensFan, as well as the contradiction pointed out by AGM, is starting to bug me.
SensFan wrote:Colour speculation is pointless, since the colours people submitted don't appear to be more than a minor connection to their role, if any, based on my role. Speculation about who the Mods may have favoured (which I have no idea about) will be fruitful, as per how I explained it. It's really not all that complicated.
Your role =/= everyone else's role, so you don't know how color may or may not be related in general, nor do you know whether any mod-preference in the role assignment (if there was any at all) extended beyond yourself since you made the point that the mods were upset with you specifically. The reason it's contradictory is that in both cases, you are speculating about the setup based on your role alone, yet you are calling one of them pointless and the other one fruitful.
Anyway, the real point is that you are really going out of your way to emphasize how unhappy you are with your role. If you are town, this is bad because you are giving away hints about your role. I'm conflicted over whether this is scummy or not, since it could conceivably be a gambit to get opposing scum to ignore you, but could also draw investigations/vigs. IGMEOY for now.
Plum:
Disagree with the part of your tans case that is based on his Andrius vote. It's plausible to me that he could have a read on someone, vote them, then start to question his reasons without removing his vote immediately. I do, however, agree that this is very strange:
tanstalas wrote:The way you used the word 'frame' in your sentence to me struck a cord, hence why I asked you to give your definition of it. Usually when I think of framing someone I think of trying to make someone look guilty that you know is innocent which is why I asked you to define the word because there is no way I could know he is innocent (read: town) and I thought that only one group of people would know he was town, that being mafia, then I realized that the two scum groups most likely do not know who each other is. Though if you are scum then you would know the alignment of everyone save about 16% of the people in the gave (assuming 4/4/4/4/4/1 split)
Well duh, the scum groups don't know who each other is. It's unusual that you didn't assume/realize this immediately. It comes across as either extreme-VI (I don't have a ton of knowledge of tans' play in general, maybe others might know him better), or a poor excuse.
