Welcome back, dearies, it's your favorite potion-brewing, broom- wielding, gossip-gathering witch, Sidara Brightbell, here with all the frothy highlights and steamy secrets from Turn 260! Let's stir the pot, shall we? Gather 'round and lend your ears (or what's left of them after a Thirsty Thug party)... because we've had a shuffle atop the throne! In a dazzling five-minute duel that even had my bats fluttering in suspense, LIKE SUNDAY of Pandemic Boredom pried the crown from I KNOW YOU ARE of Rubber vs Glue. I must say, LIKE SUNDAY fought like it was Easter morning--graceful, stubborn, and impossible to pin down. Congratulations, my dear! May your reign be long and your challengers confused. Well, well, someone's been sipping the dodgy tea. Once again, Thirsty Thugs wore the "Do Not Disturb" sign proudly this turn. Honestly, it's getting suspicious--either they're brewing something dangerous, or the rest of you are afraid they'll spill your secrets in the tavern. Pandemic Boredom did the avoiding honors. Perhaps they were more interested in challenging than chugging? Pandemic Boredom! Oh Pandemic Boredom, how busy you've been! Dodging Thirsty Thugs while still throwing down challenges all over the sands. A curious combo of cautious and scrappy--like a cat pawing at a porcupine. And may I just say, dearest LIKE SUNDAY, that crown suits you divinely. Bless their stubborn little heart--I KNOW YOU ARE was the belle of the bloodletting ball this turn, challenged not once but twice. Most folks like a good duel; this one ended up in two! That's the price of popularity, I suppose. Or perhaps someone cast a magnetism hex? Now now, what's this I see? Huckle's Cats fielded a meager crew this turn. Only one warrior meandered out onto the sands: Hilda Hippo, who got flattened by Rubber vs Glue's Rat Fink. Tell me, darlings, did you forget to feed your fighters or just lose them behind the litter box? It's hard to tell if you're playing the long game or just napping. Time to stretch those legs and refill the ranks, sweethearts! It's true, my bubbling brews, our arena felt a bit empty this turn. A quiet hush fell over the sands, and not just because I enchanted the stone seats to murmur gossip. We could use a few more brave fools--err, I mean glorious warriors--to spice things up! Where are the bold managers ready to take a stab at greatness or at least get stabbed with flair? The fights were fierce, the drama was delicious, but the sands still hunger for more! If you're a lurking manager with dusty warriors, or a new one with big dreams, SEAM is the arena for you. Come one, come all! Brew some chaos, stir up rivalries, and maybe--just maybe--claim your spot in the next spy report. Kisses and Curses, my pretties! -- Sidara Brightbell DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LIKE SUNDAY 1503 21 8 1 119 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BUT WHAT AM I 1383 35 8 0 114 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) I KNOW YOU ARE 1381 32 11 0 107 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) BOOGERHEAD 1468 19 11 3 101 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) HILDA HIPPO 1446 22 27 0 93 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HODJA 1517 17 14 0 90 THIRSTY THUGS (31) RAT FINK 1549 8 3 0 86 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SWIPE LEFT 1520 15 10 0 66 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) KYE SMALLFOOT 1523 15 13 1 59 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SAU SAGE 1529 9 15 0 54 THIRSTY THUGS (31) ROGER, RODGER 1538 12 9 0 51 THIRSTY THUGS (31) OH MORRISSEY 1504 11 18 0 51 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) PSYDE 1553 5 7 1 46 THIRSTY THUGS (31) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DUO LINGO 1541 7 10 0 31 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TOZ FIRESHIELD 1559 4 0 0 28 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) KIXA OAKHEART 1560 4 0 0 25 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SWEET TARIFFS 1558 1 2 0 22 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) FREYA BEARMAW 1562 2 1 0 7 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) ICKY 1568 0 1 0 2 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

A great time -- those dinosaurs can still play and I was really impressed! I typically take the Flix Bus to Phoenix because I don't trust my cars and, more important, I don't trust myself. Know your limitations and one of my many limitations is my subpar driving skills. Sure, I like to drive 80+ in Tucson but that's because I've been here so long and don't need to think while I drive, often closing my eyes and taking what I lovingly call "micro naps" but in Phoenix there are all those freeways and it just gets confusing...what's a 101 compared to a 202? Where did Squaw Peak go to? Another limitation of mine is this ridiculous game...why is Duo Lingo so bad? Will Oh Morrissey every get out the Adepts? These are the questions that swirl through my mind as I stare out the Flix Bus window. -- Pappy LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS LIKE SUNDAY viciously subdued I KNOW YOU ARE in a 5 minute Challenge Title fight. RAT FINK overcame HILDA HIPPO in a action packed 1 minute one-sided Challenge match. SWIPE LEFT unbelievably bested KYE SMALLFOOT in a 8 minute Challenge contest.
