Sorry, I ended up super-busy today and inexplicably psyched myself into thinking that dawn wasn’t until tomorrow. I have a birthday party to go to right now ; will process tonight or first thing tomorrow.

**NIGHT SIX RESULTS**

That seemed like the longest night ever! Fewest deaths yet, though.

Scuba\_Ben seemed to know a whole lot about everybody, and he didn’t mind sharing. Some were apparently of the opinion that he shared too much.

Scuba\_Ben is dead.

Scuba\_Ben, you are a **Gossip**. Each night beginning Night One, you disclose the correct alignment of a random living player to your target. You are a **Villager**. You win when all threats to Town Village have been eliminated.

_ **J.D. has been poisoned!** _

**DAY SEVEN HAS DAWNED.** Night will fall on Tuesday evening at 5 pm EDT.

I targeted JD last Night. I doubt a Scum poisoner would have gone after an unknown. He may have poisoned himself.

Fair enough. Kind of surprised a poisoner would have gone after someone like JD, who was starting to pick up some suspicion, but hey, thanks to you it was a wasted move.
