Jain, making sense?! What has this world come to? I think we've pretty firmly established the Eight Houses. So there's no need to deliberate on that anymore. Meta, I think you're right about no one defending Ash, even a little. I retract my vote for Ashette. I haven't yet decided who I will put my final vote on though.
Gamma, I'm not sure I agree with your assumptions on the Skaa metals. My guesses are:
1. Pewter/Iron. A defense role is pretty standard for the Evil tea,, thought not a hard rule.
2. Soother/Rioter. This I agree with you, Gamma. A vote changing role is one of the common roles given to Team Evil.
3. Seeker/Tineye. This way, they would be able to spread false information or gain more information, which would help them target more dangerous nobles.
4. Smoker. This one is my final and least likely guess. In this game, the Smoker's aren't as vital as in others, where Bronze detected alignment. But having someone to help cover them would be very useful.
I doubt that the Skaa have a Mistborn. There's probably one, maybe two Mistbornin this game, and while possible, I don't think the skaa have one. Especially if there are five.
Mailu surveyed the crowd, taking notes of who interacted with who. He watched the accusations fly everywhere until all but the quietest one had spoken up. So much backstabbing. So many lies. Even the people Mailu had grown up with, friends, he wasn't sure he could trust any more. The skaa were a nuisance and a disease. They were Ruining the nobility, causing them to scramble and turn on each other quicker than ash fell. Stupid skaa. Mailu decided to sit at a table near the back, one raised on a platform, to watch the proceedings. He left a chair open, if anyone wanted to talk, he could use the info, but he didn't desire anyone to come either. For now, he would watch and wait.
