i don't remember ever successfully guarding anyone. i've been a guardian an incredibly high number of times though iirc
I was saving this exact statement for postgame ^_^ You have been guard often enough that it comes to mind, which is saying a lot. You should count the exact number for humor's sake.
In case anyone was wondering, I fled with .5 items less than half of the items in the game, owned.
At first, I had zero information to trade/sell. I bluffed at all intersections right up until the point I was having a conversation with Talisman, about to sell him my "info", when roundbox gave himself away to me. He wanted the guard's name, and I "sold" him thunder. I never knew sert until I was dead and only knew a wolf once roundbox came to me. Roundbox made me a pretty bad deal and talisman was somewhat willing, and actually able, to make me a much better one, so I immediately "sold" him roundbox just minutes after roundbox came to me.
Flaw and I traded early game trust N1, and it was going fairly well IMO but he decided to come out against my advice anyways, out of fear of his trust in me. My original plan was to come out and offer my services in being a temporary human alliance figure-head before I fled town, knowing neither side would logically want me dead (as well as having the lucky charm for protection). I'd do this in exchange for (used) items, but Flaw's coming out essentially ruined this initial plan, causing me to go with the much riskier total bluff. My claim wasn't too far out there (guard's name via flaw's contact, more than possible but didn't actually happen, and a N1 item usage on a wolf's identity, somewhat possible and also false) but it wasn't what I had planned or wanted.
Also worth noting, I did not steal from myself a single time (my secret "plan" to keep my items safe), but the threat alone was enough to deter, and moderately upset, kilga, as I had anticipated.

Except for roundbox I guess. Thanks for trying, buddy. <3
I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.
the seer has nothing to do with the fact that talisman was successfully guarded. If you'll take note, talisman wasn't the guard.
Say there wasn't a guard, and talisman was still the leader like he always tries to be, and was successfully guarded, bam same situation. Seer has nothing to do with it.
I had a lot of fun early on. the endgame was kinda lame though. I tried to liven it up by making pnt and mamimi duel but they wouldn't oblige me. I guess I should have just pushed for the insta on mamimi like I originally planned to save time, but eh.
Also, there were moments of hair-pulling frustration in this game, particularly with pnt (only early on) and xero, related to issues of info withholding and whatnot. And then xero said his partner was sertman (which apparently was a complete lie). That combined with this story he told me about receiving a bag of gold and then having it taken away from him before he could use it or some such nonsense made me actually suspect him and was the cause for my second guessing of my scrying. Moral of the story is, if you're a human, don't lie to the alliance leader. It's just stupid.
My favorite part of the game was probably my long convo with stoic. We were both sort of testing each other and probing for info and whatnot. Very fun.
