While our numbers may be thinning like a love potion gone cold, the fire in SEAM's heart still burns bright! So gather 'round, dearies, and let me spill the tea on the steel! Let's talk titles, hmm? In a delightful twist of fate, that charming rascal Hodja from Thirsty Thugs snatched the throne from the slippery grip of But What Am I of Rubber vs Glue. Oh, it wasn't a gentle handshake and a wave, no no! It was a tooth-and-nail brawl full of flourishes, footwork, and a whole lotta flair, my darlings. Hodja now reigns with a sparkle in his eye and a bruise on his knuckles--exactly how a Duelmaster ought to! Now, into the shadows of the arena politics we go. Would you believe it, sweetums? Pandemic Boredom found themselves the belle of the ball in the worst way--they were the most avoided team this turn. And guess who played the wallflower with them? That would be Darque Knights, those mysterious muffins, who did the most dodging! Perhaps they had other duels to attend or were busy polishing their armor in a moonlit glade. And speaking of attention, all the dreamy-eyed challengers flocked toward Hilda Hippo, making her the most challenged warrior of the turn! Seems folks wanted a piece of our plump powerhouse before she leaves for the big leagues! Oh, but it's bittersweet, my pumpkins. Hilda, dearest, your time in SEAM draws to a close. Just one more dance before you step into the glow of the Advanced games. You've fought hard, loved harder, and squished your foes with all the grace of a rampaging hippo on roller skates. We'll miss your hoofbeats and your heart. Do send us postcards, will you? But, dearies, let's not mince magical herbs: the numbers in our fair arena are dwindling. Huckle's Cats seems to have dozed off with only a few paws in play. Where are the new faces, the eager blades, the ambitious managers? If you're hearing this and thinking, "Why not me?", then take this as a glitter-sprinkled invitation! Come to SEAM, where every swing sings and every round is a story. Until next time, my sweets--Hugs and curses! -- Sidara Brightbell DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HODJA 1517 19 16 0 127 THIRSTY THUGS (31) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BUT WHAT AM I 1383 38 9 0 123 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) RAT FINK 1549 11 4 0 114 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) BOOGERHEAD 1468 22 12 3 109 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) HILDA HIPPO 1446 24 29 0 102 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KYE SMALLFOOT 1523 17 15 1 87 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) SWIPE LEFT 1520 17 12 0 78 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) ROGER, RODGER 1538 15 10 1 71 THIRSTY THUGS (31) SAU SAGE 1529 12 16 0 70 THIRSTY THUGS (31) TOZ FIRESHIELD 1559 7 1 0 67 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PSYDE 1553 9 7 1 62 THIRSTY THUGS (31) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DUO LINGO 1541 9 12 0 47 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) FREYA BEARMAW 1562 5 2 0 43 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EMILE 1571 2 0 0 30 FAR TRAVELERS (95) GAMERA 1569 2 0 0 28 FAR TRAVELERS (95) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME QUANG 1573 2 0 0 24 FAR TRAVELERS (95) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KIXA OAKHEART 1560 5 3 0 22 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) MANKAR 1570 2 0 0 20 FAR TRAVELERS (95) SYD FROSTFIRE 1574 2 2 0 18 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) SWEET TARIFFS 1558 2 5 0 13 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) ICKY 1568 1 4 0 11 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) MEDICAID CUTS 1577 1 1 0 4 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

And yet I'm called out for avoiding them? In the words of the Fresh Prince, spymasters just don't understand. Anyway, since I'm easily led, this turn I didn't avoid anyone so we'll see how it plays out. I mean, there are only 19 active fighters but we can't fight our own team and we can only fight those near to us so it ain't changin' that much.
