So a few things popped from yesterDay:

I don't really like the sound of this. Partly because the guarding isn't just to guard the gifteds, though they are the ones we'd want to keep around more, but it's also to try to protect someone who is very useful and has good ideas. Also, just the fact that he dubbed himself an ordo I don't like, I never like it when people do that, seems too faked. So I'm a bit uneasy about Pitch, but not in a "I'm gonna vote him" way, more like a "I'm gonna pay close attention to him" way.

Can't say as I have anything solid at this point as regarding suspicions. However, I'll go ahead with this:

++ Guard Boro

I thought of Legate, but I'd like Boro to stick around another Day, and not get up to mischief if I'm wrong about him.

As for the lynch vote...

Think I'll have to go with Kitanna. I don't care for the reasoning of her vote on Brinn.

++ Kitanna
I don't understand what he's trying to say in the bolded part. I'd appreciate some clarification from him about that reasoning. And then the Kit vote does look overly bandwagonnish to me, but Inzil, like Pitch, is someone I'm more uneasy about, and not necessarilly suspicious of.

And from earlier toDay:

La-di-da? I'm strongly leaning towards you being guilty, but just incase you are not I want to explore the explanations behind that possibility. To me it just seems so obvious, but I want to explore all of the possibilities anyway. I'm trying to be open-minded and fair, not flippant.

That sounds very fair, but just the way you happily scream "I am pretty certain that Legate will be our first Wolf!" when Boro agrees with you or such does not make it sound that good - or your thoughts, or approach, that consistent.

I'll say one thing for Legate: he puts quite a bit of effort into defending himself, and seems adept at thinking like a wolf. Oddly enough, he finds comfort in that manic Village Fool, whose ire I've apparently drawn. Wisdom, or lamentable folly? Time will tell.
Though Legate does bring some vaild points, is there any way to be sure of him while leaving him alive?

My guard vote for Boro was a bit tongue-in-cheek, a reference to the past. Also, at the time I coudn't really see the push for guarding Legate, so I picked someone who seemed innocentish, and who I wanted to see make it to Day 2. The remark about keeping him out of mischief was more of a throwaway, but also an admission that I could have been wrong in trusting him.
And like I said, Kitanna's vote had a bad feel to it, and that with her Hakon guard vote made her the only one I really could see voting for lynching.
Speaking of Hakon, has he been here at all toDay?
