I’ll join. I’m holding no items.

Oh, this is ridiculous.  More Duels need to be held, or the system changed.  As is, only those who check the blog frequently have a chance of gaining the benefits of duels.

Actually, I just happened to check the blog at the right time, but you’re right.

Sorry for the repeated comments, but there’s no way that over 2 minutes elapsed between my previous 2 comments.  This is an experimental comment to determine the how the comment timestamp is related to the clock running on the sidebar.
