I was a part of the review crew for the first game.
When we start the game, players are either the color BLUE or the color RED. Some roles might change this, like a miller-type role could start RED or YELLOW or something. But you really shouldn't worry too much about that as of the start of the game, unless it gets claimed.
Town players start out as BLUE.
Mafia players start out as RED.
As the game goes on, different roles/abilities will be able to change these colors and interact with them.
At the start of each day phase, we get to vote on a PUBLIC REVEAL of a player's CURRENT color.
So that means, barring role shenanigans, on day 1, this is pretty much like PUBLICLY CONFIRMING a player's alignment.
As the game goes on, this system will become less and less reliable and more and more of an asset for scum to drive mislynches and rely on town trust to move attention from them.
The way you should take this is:
If a player is ever revealed to be RED, lynch them. Unless you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they somehow 'became' red because of a role/ability, there's no reason to EVER take a chance on not lynching a player revealed to be RED.
This isn't so much true with trusting a player who is shown to be BLUE, however. In the first game, Mafia couldn't become Blue (as far as I recall), but that doesn't make it so in this one. That said, I would still trust BLUE = TOWN for this first color flip.
TL;DR:
Each day we get to vote to see someone's current color.
RED colored players are almost certainly scum and should be lynched.
BLUE colored players are very likely town.
As the game goes on, this becomes far less reliable except for the RED = SCUM part.
VOTE: Twoface
Not just because he gets a drawing, but also because I'm curious why Aristo joined and fell off after the drawing.
