First day is always a hard day to play good, we basicly don't know anything and are still going to lynch someone. Question is, who are we going to lynch? We could:
1: Lynch someone who's not active at all. Mafia often says less than townies, but there are always some people that don't talk the first day, or even the entire game.
2: Lynch someone who is generally confusing, those people are often mafia, or clueless townies. Fact is that clueless townies probably don't know anything in the entire game, and that they won't help at all. And it's the mafia's goal to be confusing, so the less confusing people, the better!
3: Lynch a newbie. Why not!

4: Use the powers that tom always uses for his predictions

At least it will get people talking.
5: No-lynch. Not really the best way to gather information but we might have a great sherrif that finds the mafia quickly
Options 3 and 4 aren't really serious.
