At this point, should I live past Night, I’ll most probably be voting for PMC next. ---

I think I’ll be leaning PCM too. If Nonsuch ends up being scum instead, I’ll have to congratulate him on playing a really good game. ---

Happy labour day, house stuff, catching up on work prior to firing up some charcoal as the BIL and his family are heading over later with a large amount of cow that needs some cooking. ---

**DUSK, DAY SEVEN** First, business: **Johnny Bravo** , also Werewolf #1, has been well and truly lynched. Night Seven starts here and ends on Wednesday at noon. * * * Also: I need to apologize to all players for my periodic inattention. Things in my real life have been utter chaos for around a month. My wife, children, cats, and I are all living in a hotel while we wait for home renovations that were supposed to start in July that have not yet begun. Internet access has been spotty and problematic. In short, the world has gone insane. I am trying to keep up to date, but I am appreciative of the players who have helped manage my shortfall by posting vote counts and most refraining from yelling at me 🙂 Thanks! ---
