Good question, actually... though, this being Day 1, there's no good answer until we've had a few days of hindsight. Going strictly from tradition, it would be safe to say--for myself--I'd be most comfortable voting off someone I don't generally trust most games, and have a higher success rate of not missing.

Shasta would be a prime candidate. I'm not sure if we've played together more than twice, but the the two times I remember, he didn't sit right with me, and--though not bad (well, okay, Cobblers are *technically* bad)--would have at least made those games less confusing.

Lari's impressive track record of winning and surviving games is temptation in and of itself for voting, with a lack of a real candidate. One certainly cannot say of her that she deserves the phantom's "Day 1 newbie pass." Of course, the Grimoire would also suggest she's a non-Ordo, which means we'd be shooting 50/50 for a Gifted or Baddie.

Brinn is the archetypal silent killer. If I were to peg anyone being the Bear on mental associations of little grounding, I'd dress her in fur and hand her a salmon.

Of course, you all realise those are utterly spurious reasons to vote for someone. Really, the votes for Hakon--though my gut tells me he's innocent--are no worse, and potentially better.

Morm, Rikae, and the phantom, though I have a history of not trusting them on Days 2,3, and on (if I haven't died by that point) are too useful if innocent to kill on Day 1, and too suspicious after Day 1 to worry that they'll get away scot-free if they're evil. So they're off my potential lynch-list. Nienna is also off my potential lynch-list out of a left-over sense of chivalry from last game, but if she's seriously going to vote for Fea, she should watch out tomorrow, because that utterly smacks of wolvery. I also feel sorry for Sally, get Fenris'd last game, and she's fun to have around--even if bare-faced guilty--so she's also free of my Day 1 vote.

Other than that... no random Day 1 impressions yet that are coming to mind, so no reason to list anyone here pro or con, but I can gladly make something up or dredge the lower waters if you feel slighted by being under my Day 1 radar.
