OK, first things first: the case against **dotchan**.

1. 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.

2. 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.

1. 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**?

> [@dotchan](#):

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.
