OK, first things first: the case against dotchan.
-
Low participation (3 posts D/N 1, 6 posts so far D/N 2) - not as low as some, but noticably sparse. Anti-town if not necessarily pro-scum.

Her first post is here. Votes for macey, FOS’s Thing Fish and “raises an eyebrow” at **Cookies **for being “rather opportunistic” - i.e voting for JSexton. No explanation of why that’s opportunistic.
What jumps out of this post is that it’s very “me-too”. Not only voting for **macey **(5th vote) but also FOSing Thing Fish, who’s second. It seems like a very conscious effort to stick with the crowd.
- Other haven’t mentioned it, but I felt her post here was very smudgy (my bolding):
Looks to me like she’s trying a) to lump me in with TF and b) suggest I’ve been skimming - ironic, considering what happens next.
Chorus: No they weren’t!
Chorus: So why not vote for Hockey?
If nothing else, this suggests someone who is taking only a passing interest in the game. Her original vote was very much follow-the-leader; the next was utterly baseless.
Finally, it’s worth pointing out that **dotchan **has offered no defence whatsoever, just a shrugged acceptance of another lynching. At best, her posts and votes suggest somebody who isn’t trying very hard; at worst, she’s scum doing a bad job of smudging and building false cases, while skimming the thread quite egregiously.
