Two things about shinnen to remember:
1) He was one of the first to declare Bowser's Army the town.

2) He flipped on the item claiming idea:

And, what about players like Ace (not that I fully believe him, but that's a possibility) that don't know about the items? Or the third party players? Also, what gives us the security that the mafia doesn't know how our items operate?
I want us to consider these, and others I haven't pointed out, issues about the item claim, because we might end up giving more aid than problems to scum.

By claiming who can and who can't, we're just giving the mafia a pretty good list of who they should kill at nights. Sorry, but I'm not finding that a very smart thing to do.
I don't think these posts point to scum. After all, our pm's didn't explicitly tell us that BA's was the majority. I doubt scum would be that eager to put that information out there. Furthermore, his response to the item claiming feels townie and reasonable.
Also, I think ortolan has been more honest in his intentions than ShadowKnight.
Since apparently, one of them must be scum:
unvote, vote Shadowknight
