BTW, it's really just a talking point to get voting going.

The fact is, very few of us know anything about what's going on on Day One. It's the most worthless vote of any game. But a vote still needs to be made.

So we vote, often for trumped up reasons. The last game. Player history. Just for fun. Some random post. Whatever.

Once things get rolling, though, you will see some votes start to consolidate, and usually everyone ends up on two or three or four candidates.

The Day One lynch is often very random, and it's rare for a wolf to get caught in it, unless they are unfortunate or they play a little dumb. But it is surprising to see how many Day One voting trends get uncovered as the wolves and good guys are revealed later in the game. So it's still a useful, if likely futile exercise.
