The question is also whether voting for me after that is a sign of independant mind or further dodge: a Wolf mentions person X as suspicious and then votes person Y, because he doesn't want to be associated with the lynching of person X. Cab is still in my orange zone, essentially.
I don't really know what "vibe" you talk about, that quote gave me no vibes whatsoever. Interesting point about Cab's vote, though, even if I don't really think it was a wolfish vote. I mean, look at the reason he gives:

I don't really see Cabwolf openly declaring he votes for someone solely because they suspected him - not even on a Day 1 with little to go on. If he was a wolf, I'm sure he could have invented another reason for voting Legate. Gut-feeling or something.

True; well, he says "unnecessarily and prematurely", which is a sort of accusation (in fact, a kind of veiled one again, could be again more or less in the same style as his earlier posts). But yes, you have a point.

Anyway, as for some general evaluation, from my part at this time:

On the innocentish side:

sally
Zil


Leaning no particular way:

Nerwen
Greenie


Yellow zone:
Rikae - but simply because I would like to hear about the vote, otherwise nothing bad
Mac?

Orange zone:
McCaber

Absent:
Shasta
Wilwa
Aganzir
(technically, hasn't posted yet)

So my strongest pick would in most ways be McCaber, even though I would definitely like to see more from him, too, but guess we can't have everything. Taking into account also Greenie's point; the question is however whether a Cabwolf would simply not invent a case for voting me because he simply wants to make it a throwaway vote, after messing around with other people earlier, and simply wishing to stay out of sight or whatever. Still around and pondering, though.

Inzil - Confusing. His interactions with Mac and Cab are especially interesting; he jokingly suspects them both, then actually suspects McCaber, then votes for Mac. Makes no sense unless his vote is a typo.
Sally - Mostly banter. I can forgive that (Day 1, after all) but it does seem a bit excessive given that there was already some stuff going on when she posted. Her reasons for voting Inzil look quite genuine, but it's a bit odd that she doesn't mention his vote at all.
McCaber - He's confusing too! I think his "suspicion" of Mac was a joke; indeed he himself says that he didn't see anything in Mac's post besides early banter. His vote for Legate is a bit weird, but I think it's in a weird ordo -kind of way.
Legate - His jumpy reaction to Inzil "suspecting" the same people was a bit fishy, and I think he's grasping at straws with his suspicion of Cab. It's also interesting that while he was all the time more after Cab than Mac, he dropped Mac altogether after Inzil voted for him. Eyebrow-raising.
Rikae - That one comment about Cab was a bit odd, but otherwise she's seemed more innocent than not. She was also among the first to turn the conversation away from banter, which I think should earn her a pass for toDay.
Nerwen - Hm. Nothing alarming so far, but I tend to think that of evil Nerwen too, so that's not really much of a comfort!
Aganzir - Still waiting for more contribution than calling me a plantlike organism.
Wilwa - Where is she?
Shasta - Where is he?
Macalaure - Leaning innocentish at the moment. I have a feeling that a guilty Mac would be more involved, would more actively try to steer the conversation (or else cause chaos like he did last time he was evil).


EDIT: x-ed with my fellow Finns (yes, Legzy, that includes you now).
