It's a semi-open setup. Literally everyone is a power role. We know this, the closest thing we have to a non-power role is "You have to visit people at night".
Correction, I'm not planning to vote at all. I might vote for a meme, though, because this is D1 and voting off suspicion and voting off a dice roll are basically the same thing right now.
No, that's a Jester. Different role.
Yeah, I don't like this. The reason for that is that "a dice roll" is uncomfortable and yeilds no information, even if you later flip. I'd much rather force people to pick someone as though they have a reason, even if they don't have one, so they don't provide scum with cover to do the same.

I pretty much went through the same thought process as Shadell looking over the information we have. It looks like we're hopelessly outgunned, so there is probably something more to the set up than we see. (Which Nictis has since confirmed, with the secret drawbacks mafia powers have).
I'd say it always depends on the situation. You are right that we have to take care not to spoil our roles. But the general situation here with the semi-open game is quite differrent.
I'm pretty sure there isn't a secondary win-con for the fool. That role goes by jester on SV as IH and LDJ already said. Jesters can be town-aligned but are rather detrimental if they are townsided. I'd guess they are more commonly third party than town as in our case.
I'm of the opinion that voting without purpose is a waste of time and action, and at this point in the game there isn't a real purpose. Voting D1 is effectively playing russian roulette except aimed at other people. Whether you're rolling dice, memeing, or voting based on whatever shaky suspicions you can scrape together at this stage, the end result is that (if you aren't mafia) you're gambling wildly on the hope you get a jackpot. I'm not really much for gambling, myself.
Point of order: there is, because the total possible town roles outnumber the total town. That said, claiming your town role can't possibly be positive utility at this juncture, as it would only give the mafia more targeting information.
On day one, townies are voting without information. Scum are not, and in fact know exactly who they don't want to lynch. If you let town get away with random votes with no support, you let scum do the same - except they won't be random. No lynch day 1 is bad, but this is somehow worse.
QT, what I'm saying is that from my perspective all votes on day 1 are effectively random.
At most, all town votes, and usually not even that. It's not my experience that day one typically goes by without something coming up to give us somewhat better than random targeting, but even if it doesn't, you better beleive scum isn't going to "randomly" push one of their own teammates to death.
The point of voting Day 1 isn't because we know who the scum are, it is so we have to make choices, which eventually gives something for the thread to examine for patterns, and because taking even weak stands forces people to engage and respond and hopefully produce data.
The Fool is a Town role, it wins with the Town.
So it's The Visitor Role not Fool? Visitor - MafiaWiki
Can I choose the bullet? Dying over a debate seems like my way to go.
Wha'd I do?
Mesonoxian definitely.
