140. My post.
The one where I had a list of each of Valier's posts.
I accidentally hit 'edit' instead of quote when I went to post my opinions.
And then when I finished I hit save.
So I just deleted that post by accident, replacing it with

--isn't acting like himself--
--without excusing the change--
"I tend to believe that he has some hair up his sleeve."
She's innocent.
Morm's sketching her out--
--but she doesn't have evidence, just a feeling--
--she might not be right, but she'd rather find out through lynching morm--
Don't kill her, her feelings are sure to find at least one wolf.
She only has her instincts as 'proof.'
"Tomorrow is another day and if I survive till then it will be all the brighter"
And then she votes for morm.

Okay.
So I think the wolves killed her to frame morm, like I already said.
But I also think they probably killed her because of how plainly she was expressing her confidence in her gut reactions. Because we all get whims, you know? And we'd like to think we're right. But she said outright that she was sure she was going to discover a wolf.
And whether or not she did discover a wolf, that statement ("I AM going to find you" instead of "so I think I might be right") would be an eye-catcher.
So pretty much I agree with Legate saying
Quote:
the wolves said "Look, probably a Seer" (and even if she isn't, why not to try).
and
Quote:
Other possibility, likewise probable - morm is not a wolf, but the wolves noticed an opportunity to pass the guilt on someone else. Why not? Solving two problems at once.
So yeah. I think Valier died not because she'd nailed a wolf but because the wolves had a two-birds-with-one-stone philosophy.
At least that's what makes the most sense to me.

I suck.
