Precisely why I hate Day 1s. People like to think, at the time, that they are being useful, helpful, and thoughtful, but the only thing making noise on Day 1 does is incriminate you on later Days. The only time I was noisy on Day 1, I was lynched Day 3 as a Werewolf (Phantom's Game, XII). And, really, Day 1 is simply a matter of random guessing for the innocents. Only the Werewolves know who the Werewolves are- so only the Werewolves would want to influence the vote in any particular way- unless they're stupid enough to go and incriminate themselves.

So really, the reason I hate Day 1s is that people think we should be serious and noisy on them. That's a tactic that I've yet to see work to any player's enduring advantage in a game.

Work being what it is, I'll likely not be on ere Day end to vote again, so let:

++ Caranlondien stand as my vote. Not for any real reasons of suspicion, save that she is very careful and track-covering. And, this being Day 1, and no one being stupid enough to incriminate themselves, that's as good a reason as any.
