Day Start

Starting the game with the Day phase. It has two main advantages:
- Because no-one dies during Night 1, everyone who signed up for the game gets to play at least one day.
- It reduces the risk that Game Balance will be thrown off very early by unexpected events during Night 1 (such as all the power roles being killed off).
The disadvantage is that without a Night phase, during Day 1 the town has even less information than it usually has, so Day 1 can be slower and more difficult.
Originally Night starts were ubiquitous, with only Newbie Games staring with Day; but there seems to be a trend towards Day Starts recently. There is a discussion of the point in this thread.
