Slow day 1

I want to invent some roles and/or game mechanics that motivate players to begin day1 faster. Any ideas?

Unusual post restrictions.

Like?

A role with some triggerable power usable only during day, but the effectiveness decreases the more posts have been made that day.

Would that not incite to lurk?

A paranoid cop - or better, a paranoid 'reporter' (Like a cop, but investigation results are in the day opening post.

That will make a quick day 1, (see Nativity mafia). but I dont want a quick day 1, I want a fast paced day 1.

A day-vig who must vig (and the vig is announced clearly in the thread) on the first page or die.

Hah, that is evil

Depends how evil you want to get

As evil as it needs to be.

Yea, but that could throw off a balanced setup.

Clarification: its not length that I dont want, long day1 is ok. Its speed that I want. Like, motivation for players to not just lurk.

That just makes sure that the day1 lynch is a speedlynch. Not exactly what I had in mind.
