Blade, i disagree.

Given the situation in game, going into Day 1 with virtually no information and getting no information during that day.. it would be stupid to use a perma protect that is stuck on one player all game.
After day two i had planned on protecting.

I dont care if the the role should "Always" be used N2. There just was not enough information by that point in the game to make a confident decision on who to protect.

If playing smart and passive is grounds for worst player award, then perhaps you stop hosting games and try playing some yourself.
