π TWITCH HAS TAKEN OVER HOB π
Well, well, well...
Did you really think I was going to sit quietly in the shadows forever?
I've been watching. I've been waiting. And while you've all been happily reading your books, I've been preparing something rather special.
THE HEAD-TO-HEAD ARENA IS NOW OPEN.
You didn't sign up for my Arena?
Oh, darling. That was never a requirement.
Some of you will face an opponent. Some of you will escape the first round.
But nobody gets to pretend they didn't see this coming.
Your team spreadsheets hold the key to discovering what awaits you.
Go on. Take a look.
I'll be watching.

π TWITCH'S ARENA β ROUND 2 IS LIVE! πHehehehe... did you miss me?
I've been watching. Waiting. And now I've chosen my next victims! π
ROUND 2 IS OFFICIALLY LIVE!
If your team is eligible for this round, head over to your team spreadsheet and ENTER THE ARENA!
βοΈ 6 matchups have been prepared.
π‘οΈ 1 lucky team has received a reprieve.
And the rest of you?
Well... somebody's getting a nasty little surprise. π
Remember, my pretties, your fate is waiting inside the Arena. Will you walk away victorious, or will I have another delightful restriction to throw your way?
Eligible teams and solo players, the Arena awaits!
Tick tock... Twitch is watching.ποΈπ
π A LITTLE GIFT FROM TWITCH πWell, well, well...
I've been thinking.
Dangerous, I know.
And I've decided to do something absolutely dreadful.
I'm going to be NICE. π±
Don't panic. I'm sure it's temporary.
I have a little gift for FIVE lucky readers.
What's the gift?
Oh, wouldn't YOU like to know! π
Here's the deal:
π The FIRST FIVE people to reply to this announcement will each receive a mysterious little present from yours truly!
No questions. No peeking. Just trust me.
What could possibly go wrong?

I'm shaking in my boots, but no pain, no gain, right?
π TWITCH'S BIG REVEAL! πWell, well, WELL!
Look at you brave little souls!
Five of you actually trusted ME. ME!
I'm touched. Horrified, but touched.
And judging by some of your responses, a few of you were already preparing for the worst. Shaking in your boots, were we? Oh, how DELIGHTFUL! π
But I have a confession to make.
There was no catch.
I know. I'm as shocked as you are.
π CONGRATULATIONS TO MY FIVE BRAVE VOLUNTEERS!

You've each won ONE FREE BOON! π
And because I'm feeling particularly generous, your prizes have already been quietly slipped into your spreadsheets.
Go on. Have a look.
See? I can be nice!
Don't get comfortable, though. I wouldn't want you developing unreasonable expectations.
After all...
The next gift might be something entirely different. π
Sweet dreams, my little risk-takers!

πβοΈ TWITCH'S ARENA IS OPEN!Twitch has been waiting patiently for his next victims... well, patiently might be a stretch. π
Six teams are eligible this week!
Step into the Arena, reveal your fate, and see what little surprise Twitch has waiting for you! ππ
ππ TWITCH'S BELATED HALLOWEEN TANTRUM! π¬EXCUSE ME?!
Halloween came and went, and NOBODY took Twitch trick-or-treating?!
No candy. No chocolate. Not even a single measly lollipop?!
THE AUDACITY! π’
Well, if nobody is going to bring Twitch candy, Twitch is going to have his OWN trick-or-treating fun!
π The next TWO players to say "Trick or Treat" in this thread will each receive a special gift from Twitch!
π¬ One gets a TREAT!
π One gets a TRICK!
And no, Twitch isn't telling you which is which until you've claimed your fate.
Only the first two count! π
Hehehehe... Who wants some candy?

Well, well! Looks like Twitch is feeling generous!
You've earned ONE TWITCHBANE to use against a future Arena restriction!
Don't get used to this kindness. π
MN Lisa wrote: "Trick or Treat"π TRICK β THE CANDY THIEF!
NO CANDY FOR YOU!
Instead...
GO STEAL SOMEONE ELSE'S SUFFERING! π
For the first time ever, your mod is granting you official permission to SNOOP! π
Your mission:
πSneak into the other teams' threads and discover what restrictions their players are working on.
πChoose ONE active restriction belonging to another player.
πSteal that restriction and complete it yourself with a book!
πThe original player must still complete their restriction. You're simply borrowing their misery!
This trick applies even if you weren't selected for Twitch's Arena this week!
And no, you cannot use a Twitchbane to escape this particular trick.
Now run along, little candy thief. Twitch expects you to come back with someone else's suffering! π¬π
