Hrrrm.
Scum openly voting for Bendal just makes me not want to vote him, despite the fact that I'm pinging more town for Liosan than him at the moment.
Edit: "them" to "him"
Well, there are two scum teams.
Had a look over Bendal and Liosan. Neither seemingly have problems with voting for Trake (Shield 1), and indeed Bendal pushes for us to look at Trake quite a lot (good instincts? Or trying to PI himself. Also, there is nothing to say that the shields knew each other). Liosan is on the Tennes (Shield 2) train as well, but Bendal is not.
Both have given info. Bendal has given up the names of Ampelas and Omtose as scum, at least one of which was correct (and I don't really doubt the other, either). However, both Ampelas and Omtose might be Goodkinders (neither were shields), in which case Bendal, if a Meyern and shield, was giving up the names of a rival faction. Liosan has identified Ampelas' and Togg's roles (the former has been verified for certain, and with the sacrosancting it seems fairly apparent that Togg is the Dreadfather). Liosan has also identified Tulas Shorn as Sylar.
Bendal has previously expressed doubts over the existence of shields, asking us to try and lynch Fener straight away instead. Bendal, just prior to the King Squid night, seemed to forget why townies would have vigs on that night - because he is scum and and the scum teams did not receive vigs, but rather BPs? He corrected himself later.
Emurlahnis (remember him?) stated that Bendal was one of his teammates back before he was recruited. If true, that means that if Bendal is scum, he is recruited scum. If he is a shield, then he had to have been recruited before Fener appeared. Emurlahnis was recruited to the Goodkinders. It is possible that Bendal was recruited to the Meyerns around the same time without Emur's knowledge.
After Fener, Togg, and Tennes, Bendal has probably been the most vocal calling for a lynch of the SK.
Liosan...I have little else to say about. He's actually given up quite a bit of info on others, but kept himself fairly hidden - not to the extent of Trake and Tennes, but there are similarities there.
When Ultama was exposed as Amon, Bendal Home argued that we should vote night rather than lynching Ultama, stating that Amon's lynch redirect was too dangerous and that we should let them be taken out with NKs. I haven't checked, but from what I remember Amon's lynch redirects could only be turned onto a recruit of his, rather than just anyone. I could be completely wrong about that, however. In any case, it didn't happen. But asking to vote night is scummy 
Another thing - Bendal has previously framed Togg as a scum recruit and as a result not as much of a threat to town as other: I don't think anyone now thinks the Dreadfather was a recruit. So the question is: Did Bendal know about Togg and was trying to deflect attention elsewhere?
Nothing conclusive, but there's more evidence that I could find of Bendal acting shady. I'm thinking he has been recruited - but it's just a question of when: it may have happened after the appearance of Fener, in which case he's not a shield.
