tar-ancalime has just left Hobbiton.
Since our numbers are so greatly diminished this morning, I'm going to look at the votes in a different way.

Voting records of those of us still alive:

wilwarin: tar-ancalime, Rune, Wayne
WaynetheGoblin: (DEATH), no vote, Bergil
Sleepy Ranger: Glirdan, Rune, Bergil
tar-ancalime: no vote, THE Ka, Eonwe
Eonwe: Wilwarin, Kitanna, Bergil
Holbytlass: Glirdan, Sleepy, Sleepy
THE Ka: no vote, Rune, Wayne

voted for Bergil, in chronological order:

Sleepy, Wayne, Eonwe, sotty

voted for Wayne, in chronological order:

wilwarin, Bergil, THE Ka

Only Sleepy has always voted for the person who got the axe. I don't know what to make of that, but I must confess a slight suspicion of those who are always to be found on the winning side, in Gaurhoth as in life.

Only Holbytlass has voted for the same person twice. I'd like to hear more from her about her suspicions of Sleepy.

Now let's take a look at sotty's voting and posts, and see what the motivation for this mauling might have been:

voting: tar-ancalime, Hiriel, Bergil

Clearly Hiriel was very high on sotty's list, as we can see this gruesome morning when we look back to comments from yesterDAY and sotty's vote from DAY 2.

Sotty's other suspicions yesterDAY included Bergil (who got the vote), Eonwe, and Wayne. (Post # 142)

Earlier comments from sotty (I think this is all of them; please add to this if I've missed any pertinent information):

post # 12 (first post) is not really informative
--in post # 25 adds a comment about Kitanna to Kitanna's list of suspects
--in post # 42 expresses mistrust with bandwagoning and "blame" (mentions Hiriel here), voices suspicion of DEATH
--in post # 58 votes for me while expressing suspicion of DEATH and Hiriel
--in post # 73 counsels Wayne about correct voting
--in post # 84 responds to Kitanna's Sleepy/sotty theory and explains the first-day vote for me, and voices suspicion of Hiriel
--in post # 106 posts some more about suspicions of Hiriel and some thoughts about Bergil
--post # 110 is mostly about the Rune debate, but the end mentions Hiriel yet again
--in post # 115 votes for Hiriel
--in post # 126 mentions the Hunter; also defends not voting for Rune; voices suspicion of Sleepy, me, and Bergil based on Kitanna's death
--in post # 142 makes a list of suspects (in order of suspicion): Hiriel, Bergil, Eonwe, Wayne, Sleepy; wilwarin, Holby, THE Ka, and I are all mentioned as likely innocents
--in post # 146 argues with Bergil
--in post # 153 states that either Bergil or Hiriel is a wolf, but not both
--in post # 154 votes for Bergil

My impression from looking at this summary is the pervasive presence of Hiriel in almost all of sotty's posts. Sotty made no secret of a continuing and unabated suspicion of Hiriel.

I think the wolves chose sotty as their victim specifically in an attempt to frame Hiriel, but it unfortunately backfired on them when the suspicious sotty chose Hiriel as the Hunter's quarry.

I'm hoping to hear lots of comments from everyone today, especially Sleepy Ranger, who has been very reticent these few days.
