Alright, finally got to posting a post here. I'm having a terrible headache now and it's killing me, so forgive me if I start mumbling anything silly.
I would first start with 77's questions:
Why was there only one kill this night?
From the roles, only the SWAT officer and the Mafia would be able to kill. The siren can as well, but considering how this is the first night it is extremely unlikely that the siren would get such a lucky hit. As for the SWAT officer, killing someone on the first night is never something advisable to do, considering how there barely was any conversation going on before the night. Thus it's pretty obvious - only the Mafia would perform such a kill.
Was std our real cop or the insane one?
No one knows ofc.
Why was std hit in the first place?
I'm already having a few likely scenarios in my head.
The first possibility would be to confuse us. Having an unpredictable killing pattern would leave our heads muddled and us groping in the dark. This might in turn cause std's death to be the main focus of the day's discussion, which will lower our chances of having a more fruitful discussion (I'll come to this part later.)
The second possibility would be a random shot in the dark. But why std specifically? Why not the more experienced players? This brings me to a scenario - the experienced players happen to be Mafia. I am not willing to point fingers around incase I end up influencing the rest of the townies, however such a scenario is possible. It might end up that the experienced players who usually pose a threat when they were townies back in the previous games are now in Mafia, thus they chose to take a shot in the dark and went for std.
However, it is Day 1, we can't make any rash assumptions from a kill on Day 0. What I suggest is moving on from discussing the reason behind std's death, since such a topic will not contribute to helping us find the anti-town. We can never make a definite conclusion about the reason behind std's death. What we can do however, is post tasteful questions as a starting point for the day.
Hence, I leave you with these questions (taken from a mixture of previous games because I suck at asking questions). Feel free to chip in with more questions, but bear in mind not ones that will stray us away from the main path:
How suspicious do you deem yourself to be?
What do you consider your strength(s)?
How experienced are you in Mafia games?
Who is suspicious to you/FOS?

[BCOLOR=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]Depending on the person. I personally think that I might seem suspicious, perhaps for trying to steer people away from the endless loop of discussing about std's death. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]What do you consider your strength(s)?[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]Possibly my deductions at who being anti-town. I might take quite a while to build up a case against a person, however I have noticed that my deductions were often correct in the end. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]What do you consider your weakness(es)?[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]At the same time, I am highly suspicious of everyone. Might be good or bad, but sometimes I mistake innocents as guilty and rashly make decisions. Another weakness would be being very hesitant. Sometimes I'm too afraid to make mistakes.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]How experienced are you in Mafia games?[/BCOLOR]
Played 4-5 Mafia games. Still think I'm terrible at Mafia. In terms of role diversity I have taken in various games might consider myself fairly experienced.

Honestly, I really hate pointing fingers on Day 1 since it is too early to make assumptions yet. However, I would go for Ansoro. His post about std not being protected thus killed, while sounds highly logical, at the same time it raised a flag inside of me since it sounded far too (ugh how do I phrase this) clever. I'm really bad at explaining, but maybe you get the general idea. I'm not placing bets yet, however this is my current fos as of now, so sorry ansy :CC
