#47 I think my idea is shining ever more brightly after these occasions...

#219 I think it should be read differently: she was talking to us villagers, to get rid of Spawn, Roa, myself and Diamond? Well, that should be checked... I was a bit confused myself about the subject of that sentence when I read it the first time.

Good night. (Good morning...)

Actually, that's how I read it at first, too, but after re-reading it, I think she is talking to the orcs. She starts out talking about how there's no reason for the orcs to kill a dreamer (I guess she means Zali?), and her second sentence seems to be in reference to the first, so it looks like she's still talking about the orcs doing the killing.

Even more cunning, perhaps it's meant to be ambiguous, to confuse us even more...

And I, too, must get some sleep. Hopefully things will seem clearer on the morrow...

Frankly, I think she wanted the villagers to find Spawn, Nogrod, Roa, and Diamond as suspicious. By telling the Orcs to kill them, she could be pretending to bluff, by basically telling two of the Orcs to kill themselves. That's what I'm guessing she wanted some villagers to think. Look who's on the list.

Spawn = Innocent
Me = The person she's been trying to get lynched
Nogrod = possibly innocent, looking so if he's honest about Sleepy
Roa = the person who would be extremely suspicious if Spawn had been the Shaman

So right now I'm thinking this is a case of speaking the truth to make it look like lies. Or just speaking the truth, period.

There is a possibility this is split in half, with me and Spawn innocents and Roa and Nogrod Orcs. But I don't believe that. My instincts tell me all four are probably the same and therefore all four are innocent.

The Crazy Orc That Was
Or, an Analysis of Jenny's Posts

Jenny's posts:

#13 - #47 - #52 - #121 - 3108 - #136 - #157 - #129 - #222 - #223 - #227 - #229


The thing that stands out most to me, about Jenny, is understandably that she was my loudest accuser. I did not at first understand why she was so quick to jump on me for lack of substance, I began to suspect that she was an Orc who had sniffed out an easy scapegoat, and now I'm sure of it.

In her second post, it's Nogrod, Diamond, and Sleepy she points the finger at. I am thinking she was testing the waters to see who she could get others to bandwagon for. Especially since Nogrod has claimed to dream of Sleepy's innocence. If this is true, that shows that Jenny accused three innocents in this post. Like I said, testing the waters.

Third post, she votes for me. I later said this about this post:

(It was post #54 when I wrote my analysis, and now it is #52. You'll remember some posts had to be deleted, changing the post numbers after that.)

To this Jenny was quick to say:

Quote:
Diamond, there is a big difference between volume and substance.
Still going after me, and probably feeling the heat of my suspicion. After I wrote a more detailed opinion post, she wrote a more detailed defense of herself. This can all be considered rubbish now that we know she was guilty. I was right to suspect her posting and she knew it.

So anyway, because Jenny seemed set on me as her favored scapegoat, I really have to wonder: what were her fellow Orcs doing? Were they supporting her in this endeavor? Were they playing the Good Cop to her Bad Cop? I know that a few players agreed with Jenny about me (Naria, LiS, Kitanna, Caran, Nogrod and Celuien at first) and others didn't (Grendilien, Nogrod and Celuien eventually, Roa, and Sleepy) so now I'm of course wanting to look closely at these people. Though Nogrod and Sleepy may be off the hook.

Of course, her fellow Orcs may have decided to mostly ignore me in order to distance themselves entirely from Jenny.

And then, I may be totally narcissistic to think any of the posts to or about me have any real significance. But Jenny didn't make many posts and most of them (pre-outing) either were excuses as to why she couldn't be active, or accusations of me.

I'm not sure I even want to try analyzing her posts after she was slated for death. They're obviously only there to drive us crazy.
