So I looked back at Topics 3, 4, and 5. Arti arguing with Ben -- sure, I can grant that Arti grilled Ben fairly hard.

... But does it not bother you at all, Chris, that Arti said this about Sheep early in Topic 3:

Hardly. I don't like Corrik's posts this game either and I've noted that already! As for Sheep, I'm currently null on him - I might have to look back and get a more thorough read on him before the end of the day.

Then after Sheep claimed (before being countered by Hb), this is all he had to say, in response to red (essentially) saying "You guys aren't lynching Sheep just because he claimed power? This is a good way to never lynch scum":

Depends on the game itself, obviously. Do you think Sheep is scum based on the claim?

After the counterclaim, Arti made no mention of it at all, aside from this passing remark:

Lea has also not posted since the counterclaim, which is odd considering she was active immediately prior to that.

And finally, he was the third-to-last person to vote Sheep.

Regarding your point about Arti not voting for Ben until the last minute, shouldn't that seem suspicious? Dude just grilled him hard on Day 1, and the only reason Ben didn't die was because Sheep got countered. So... he opens up the day voting for Lea?!

[votal history]

Not too much of interest here. Interesting that Sheep both voted Plum and Death in the early going, and I was thinking both were town through most of the day 1 that I played through. IGCD used his vote a lot - his vote was on Isquen last before voting Sheep after the counterclaim.

Anyway

##Vote: Lea

I have some questions for her myself, but I will wait until she comes back, whenever that is.

Later on in D2, he says this, clearly indicating his suspicion of Ben:

I said this back in topic 3, but it bears repeating - Ben is really playing the entire game from a scum perspective. He really should be looking into other people if he was town, yet he isn't even voting anyone to get more information or force them to post more content.

... But the vote is still on Lea! Eventually, Arti takes his vote off of Lea and acknowledges that Ben is going to be lynched by the end of the day in Topic 5. Until then, he had only been engaging with Lea and never once mentioned Ben. He expressed that he was going to vote for Ben...

I'll probably be voting Ben at the end of day but I'll see if there's anything I can find in a reread tomorrow. Won't be on GameFAQs much tonight.

... And then never did.

He also called my D1 wall "lackadaisical". Who even uses that word besides SCUM?! /s

I don't see what's so town-like about his behavior. What I see is someone seeing both scummates in hot water, so he tries to bus one scummate (Ben, the Neighborizer) in an attempt to save the other (Sheep, with the far more valuable Tracker). That catastrophically fails when the other scummate gets countered and is dead to rights, so he hesitantly joins the train just to save face (and apparently, it worked since no one batted an eye about his last-minute switch in votes). Next day rolls around, and although the other scummate was in hot water and almost got lynched, maybe the focus could be shifted on to someone else (Lea). Eventually, it's clear those efforts were fruitless and the bussed scummate is going to die anyway, so he might as well bus that scummate some more for townie points.
