Cease. You know who you are.
Seems like it would be an easy QoL change, I'll go bring it to the council to see if this is something we can quickly do

Hurr Durr Town is Red hehe
In all seriousness it's a fair enough change.
(So what happens when SK rolls?)

MafiaScum uses the Magenta colour for Serial Killers is that may be an alright colour to use but that would probably need to be discussed as well as that’s much different than what ToS uses which the current colours normally are here

I don’t think I need to name colourblind fmers I think it’s a simple change to make it overall better.

Though Magenta is harder to differentiate between certain colours depending on the type of colour blindness but yeah
EDITI think yellow is also a good colour.

The color town would use would be better lighter
But it’s usually obvious what alignment is by the name, or if a win condition is posted. If uncertain somebody could check the bbcode.
Yellow is a bad color.

These are the default font colours in this forum with all the different colour blind filters on top.
On all of them, the blue and the red are the most distinct, whereas yellow is the third accross all three.
Magenta as I suggested before is a bit distinct from a #0000FF blue but not from a lighter blue which was suggested.

In-text alignments should probably become a new standard regardless
The only real potential issue I see for this is people coming from the ToS game and getting confused but it doesn't seem like a huge deal
not an official mod post, just my stances on it

I think themed games should have the alignment in the graveyard. A change like this would only impact standards and vanilla games though, since if you're running an SFM you can use whatever color you want.
Personally I prefer green, but that's me.

Wouldnt replacing red with purple Also Do The trick?
(4th color from right in OP)
Suggesting This mainly Because I'd prefer Green -purple Over blue-red.

I have little knowledge of colour-blindness and whether making Town blue will cause clashes with other role colours. But for VFMs and the such, this is a good idea.

Well there's no image of violet in OP but If they are Also differentable it can Do The trick for Witch.

this seems like a lot of discussion for something that is 1) not a big deal in the grand scheme of things and 2) as far as im aware affects 0 people actively playing
people have been using different bbcodes for this shit since the dawn of time use literally whatever you want
with that being said this is probably fine just change SK to a light blue or something it really doesnt matter shit role quit forever
EDIT: also if you arent putting alignment names in your SFM role flips then you are probably a bad host gg

That could work, I may test it out in a practical sense soon.

If colorblind people can figure out traffic signals I'm sure they can figure out alignments in mafia.
Far as I know this has never been a real issue on any of the mafia sites that use the standard red-green color scheme. Communities should not change their traditions merely because someone somewhere might hypothetically have a problem with them.

Considering all traffic lights are Go for the top and Stop for the bottom (well in australia anyway), I am sure that colourblind people go off that and not the colours so that is not comparable here.
