Night
"Deep dark."
Debut	Unknown (Pre-History) Season 23 (Modern)
Status	Ongoing
Cause	Unknown
Effect	Position swaps to and from a team's Shadows

Night is a weather condition that debuted in the modern era on Season 23, Day 104, as the result of the "Night +" Renovation. Night weather is also known to have previously occurred during the Pre-History I era.

During games played under Night weather there is a chance for a position swap between an active player and a player from their team's Shadows, in an event known as a Night Shift. The active player will be "taken by Deep Darkness", and a Shadowed player will "clock in" to replace them. Unlike most Shadows transactions, both players involved in a Night Shift are boosted.

Rarely during a Night Shift, the newly-Shadowed player may also become permanently Unstable, accompanied by a message reading "EXTRAPLANAR ACTIVITY / BOOKS COOKED / INSTABILITY DETECTED". This affected Baby Doyle and Walton Sports in two separate games on Season 24, Day 79, and the cause is currently unknown.
