Also why?
I'll argue that there can be lots of meaningful contribution before votes
Here is why I think this is a good idea:
Game starts off with nobody full on lurking - everybody is sortable, vs a day 1 lynch with slots nobody can read and everybody is ok lynching
Nobody claims their role prematurely only to get unvoted and move onto the next wagon
Some people think games move too fast, this way everyone can get their toes in the water and won't have any excuses not to do so - this ties in with the lurker thing
Town is made to pay attention to players who are lurking/active lurking on day 1
Here are arguments for this being a bad idea:
People are impatient and want to hurry the game up (I don't care)
People think there's no readable content without votes - not true, people can discuss reads, and of course when I vote the votes will be open to everyone and they can put their money where there mouth is. Momentum can still form, in a sense.
People don't want to contribute to the game on day 1/before there are flips (The rest of us do want you to contribute on day 1/before there are flips)
But tell you what, I'm not a tyranical dictator, if this proves to be wildly unpopular then I'll open up the day if 13 players type
HEAL: Start the day, though I would prefer that everyone contributed
