Of those 2 choices, GGG is the most likely to be acting in the best interests of the Mafia, because it gets rid of a player who is experienced. Since there are 5 times the people (26 vs 4) outside a particular mafia compared to inside a particular mafia, the best choice the first day is to target an experienced player.

I don't think I am acting in the best interests of the Mafia although my basic strategy of picking someon on day 1 to vote for can construed in the way you presented.
The most important part of my strategy was to vote for someone early. This is something that most people were reluctant to do. Before I voted for someone the game wasn't started it was just introductions. After my vote accusations started coming out. So I believe my initial vote for someone helped the town. The mafia gains the most on day 1 if a lot of people both town and mafia remain silent and a railroad vote occurs right at the end. I don't think it matters who we pick on day 1 as long as discussion was started.
In addition I picked ActiveStick, if I was picking to eliminate the best experienced player at the end I would have voted to eliminate undercoverbrother as it was him and Wood as Masons that unraveled the serial killer. Or Dsalivan, or Delgar who all clearly have a lot of experience playing the game. We really have no idea how AS will play as town or mafia.
My vote for activestick was based on a desire to vote someone out who has played before because it would have really sucked to have been Drake or Flameswin who were killed day 1 and have had to wait 6 weeks before getting to play again. Is that the best strategy for the town?? I don't think it makes too much of a difference who goes out day 1 as long as we don't kill a role.
My first reaction when Ineedanother also voted for Activestick is that he was mafia, and getting on early on a town vote. If I were mafia I would want each of my four members to vote for different people and be in early and not change. This eliminates any way of tracking for early votes. Also the way Ineedanother phrased his voting was purely agreeing with me putting all the responsibility on me for the choice rather than providing any kind of justification on his own. Although my thoughts on Ineedanother I think are paranoia rather than anything concrete.
