Alex:
My role is that of a bodyguard. To quote my PM:

Hah! I wouldn't do that! >_> I have the special ability to choose any non-self player to protect for a night and prevent any attempts to kill them. I am actually called a Bodyguard in role. The flavour mentions, specifically, that I watch as they sleep. I have not been told I die in attempts to kill someone, though I can't actually test that theory.
As for my choices...Ciato night 1 was because I had just jumped in, and had little overall to go on. I was half considering guarding Carth on Night 2 (which would have been smarter, in retrospect), but having gotten the flavour text from Ciato, I wanted to see what else I could glean. I was suspicious of Meeple myself, and wanted to see if there was a way I could play semi-cop. Not a good idea, I understand, but that's what I decided to do after I had come back later on Sunday, and caught up with the posts post-haste. Scum killing Meeple...honestly, it could theoretically kill off the other potential candidate of the day, leaving people in LYLO at square 1. Not the best ideas, but that's what went through my head.
As for why I didn't bring up the text on Ciato earlier...well, my last post (
http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=898.msg17677#msg17677) was before you made a frue case on Ciato (
http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=898.msg17599#msg17599 is the last post you made mentioning her as a LaL candidate before I had to disappear for the weekend as I said earlier). When I returned, the day had ended, and thus I couldn't mention a damn thing. Timing of posts and being around is fuuuuuuuuun.
As a random note, this is not a quicklynch Ciato scheme - had I put a vote on her, that would have given more credence to that (and been stupidly obvious). I was baffled by the flavour text I got, and didn't mention it at all day 2 because A) No major case B) Why make a claim like that so early?
My concern with Ciato is that something happened that night that prevented me from guarding her. What roles can do that? Auto-hide roles can do that, and someone else doing something can do that (blocker, etc. - depending on flavour text). However, no one else has claimed a role except myself. So someone is obviously lying. So what I'm left with is 2 vanilla townies and myself. So therefore, scum would have to have power roles of some sort (blocker, whatever) that did something that night. And they would have had to hit me that night. I admit that's possible, but I don't find it likely - why go after the guy who was brand new, no-one knows anything about, jumped in last-second, etc.? A big wild-card vs. someone that was established - yes, I know scum don't know roles...Hell, we can tell there was a desire to lynch me for being me and what I was, because Carth said it himself, that killing me because I was unknown on day 2 would be an idea he wouldn't hate. Of course there'd be suspicion on me - using a power role on me would be waste, because it would be somewhat likely town would jump on me. While killing vs. power roling is not the same thing, the principle thought here is the same.
I have acknowledged that I could very well be wrong, but this is the best information we have, and the closest thing so far that pushes towards anyone. It's LYLO, and everyone is suspicious. We haven't bagged a single scum. This narrows it down, I feel.
Though, yes, I haven't fully considered Excal an inventor (which does what again, exactly? Pick up skills of downed people? Have a few shots of certain skills?) doing something to her, but...would that block me if she were protected already? Yes, I am partially going by flavour text here, but what else do we have to go on? Scum Ciato would give a message like that, especially if she went out for the kill - granted, yes, I am taking liberties, but that would explain why I couldn't find her to guard her - she wasn't where she usually was because she went to murder and maim.
As another note, I am a bit worried Meeple jumped on Ciato right away (vote in LYLO isn't necessarily bad, but...even though I know I am town, even I would be suspicious of roleclaims in LYLO, without going back through everything...though granted, low info game), which does make me think things back a bit - the fact that there hasn't been an immediate jump to fully nuke her and end the game is making my head turn (is Meeple a scum? or are Scum just waiting to fuck with peoples' heads? The former makes the most sense, now). Meeple/Ciato strike me as the most likely combination, and it could be Meeple sacrificing Ciato to keep himself alive. But that's a bit of expansive thought.
Really looking for other thoughts on this.
