I will have the advantage to analyze the voting knowing the role of both main targets.

Lommy -> Mac (1)
Kicking it off. There was widespread suspicion of me at the time. The bandwaggon was fueled up, and Lommy turned the ignition. This would be the mean way to interpret it. On the other hand, Lommy had been after me for a while and her vote is consistent with that.

Kath -> Inzil (1)
Not much to say here. This vote looks fine to me.

Lhuna -> Lommy (1)
Not really following her suspicion, to be honest, but other than that this one seems fine enough.

Mac -> Lommy (2)
Not the smartest vote of my life, but hey.

QT -> Brinniel (1)
(known cobbler vote)

Greenie -> Mac (2)
There's a bunch of things that feel wrong about the way she's been suspecting me, but I think I'll get to that later. The vote by itself doesn't seem bad.

Legate -> Huin (1)
My Hero!

An early vote for Huin could be a wolf-on-wolf, but:
- he urged others to follow, which wolf-on-wolfers tend to not do
- it came at a time where a swing towards Huin was already in the air

Huin -> Mac (3)
(known wolf vote)

Rune -> Loslote (1)
Votes for his prime suspect at a time where a swing was still possible, so this seems ok with me.

Kitanna -> Huin (2)
(known innocent vote)

THE Ka -> Loslote (2)
Her reasoning is pretty close to Kitanna's. I'm ok with this one.

Pitch -> Huin (3)
The vote that made it an official bandwaggon. If this was wolf-on-wolf, it was as cold as a dog's snout.

Loslote -> Huin (4)
Loslote might have felt some heat at this point, but if this was all about wolfish self-preservation, she could have very easily justified a vote for me at this point. Pretty innocent.

Sally -> Mac (4)
No, Sally! Bad, Sally!

Inzil -> Mac (5)
Not a good look right there.

Lalaith -> Huin (5)
Lalaith was fairly uncommitted at this point, and probably could have justified a vote for nearly anyone, so this looks pretty good to me.

Brinn -> Huin (6)
Stated a possible vote for him for a while at this point, so this again looks pretty innocent.

Boro -> Mac (6)
At this point, wolf-saving-wolf votes become a bit bold, because they're so glaring. I can't wrap my mind around Boro. He needs looking at.

Eonwe -> Huin (7)
The final death sentence. At this point, Huin was of course ready to be sacrificed for the other wolves. Still, he could've gone with someone else. Stated willingness to vote for him before.

Shasta -> Mac (7)
Waited until everything was decided. Mildly eyebrow-raising.

Suspicion based on votes only:
Bad: Sally, Inzil
Not good: Boro
Neutral: Lommy, Lhuna, Greenie, Shasta
Ok: Rune, THE Ka, Eonwe
Good: Kath, Legate, Pitch, Loslote, Lalaith, Brinn
