It seems that the claims that JennyHallu made before her death were aimed at promoting dissent among people. She mentioned some of the villagers most prominent, if also most questioned, individuals. We know at least one of these people, Spawn, is innocent. For reasons that I state below, I believe that Nogrod is also innocent. The other two she points out as dangerous are Diamond and Roa. Jenny subsequently accused some of the most quiet members of the village including Grendelian, Naria and myself. The separation of these groups seems to me a clear tactic that would cause confusion and disagreement. This is a really intelligent strategy, playing off of the apparent differences between the quiet and more talkative villagers.
I would guess that at least one of the names mentioned is a wereorc. The identities of the wereorcs might be more obvious if she were to leave out or to include both of the wereorcs in either the group of names mentioned or not mentioned. She probably wanted to make the wereorcs as unrelated as possible in people’s minds. Among the first four that she mentions the two that I have not ruled out yet are Diamond and Roa. She points out Naria twice as a wereorc. I might be wrong, but it would seem that this would be too obvious of an approach. A wereorc would most likely not want to draw attention to any sort of connections that could exist. Jenny seemed in control in both her earlier posts and the ones she made after she was made aware of her impending death. I doubt she would make this kind of move. I do not really know about Grendelian, but she does not stick out as suspicious to me as of yet.
I thought it was interesting that she threw more suspicion upon the quiet members of the group. As was discussed earlier, it would make sense if the orcs wanted to throw suspicion upon those in the village with the most contribution, in order to cripple the village and to leave the quiet members to get picked off with little resistance. Jenny’s accusations, therefore, could point towards a loud orc. I know that the statements that Jenny made after learning about her death were meant to confuse and lead us astray, but, given her skill, it would make sense that she put a good deal of thought into her posts so that it would not implicate her fellow orcs.
I have also been thinking of the dream that Nogrod had about Sleepy Ranger. If this is a lie it would be quite a risky move. It involves putting oneself at risk as a known innocent. If he is a wereorc, it could be a cleaver ploy in order to best win over the trust of the people of the village. Nogrod was one of the people yesterday who received enough votes early on to put him at risk for being lynched. I do not think that he would make a desperate move like this in order to defend himself from a lynching today. It would be too transparent, and there is a possibility that it could be easily called into question by any person having the real dream. From this, I am inclined to believe in his innocence.
