pops in so sorry I've been MIA lately Summer has been super busy for me, between vacations and getting ready for back to school for my kids. I got some awesome wishlist items from an anonymous gifter last month. I have to remember to pay it forward for that kindness. <3

It's rainy and cool today, such a nice break from the heat and humidity.

thanks for the ping on the sharkie. I'm bonding with it now. I'm sorry your job has been super stressful.

I'll make sure to come back later and read more here so I can comment some more. I gotta run! <3 <3

Has anyone figured out how to get the new opponent yet?

-I was wondering the same thing. I read through the comments in the news post since usually you can score some hints if not the actual way to unlock the opponent and nada. I'll let you know if I find out anything.

I had to scroll back through to find the ping group- I kept wanting to add in an 'e'- lol! I've been hoping to see some of the new minions pop up so yay to that! 🎉

I think the guy in the fishing game lies a lot. He'll tell me I'm very close 3 times in a row and then suddenly nowhere near it. Jerk.

So far, we know that part of the solution involves losing a battle (with any pet, doesn't have to be your main battle pet), and the other part has to do with why Mathis would be unhappy if you lost a battle.

But we're struggling to figure out exactly what that second part means.

Thanks. Appreciate any assist in figuring it out. But still haven't finished fighting the last new challenger, just don't have much time.

Good grief. That's worth filing a grievance with HR. If you're full time, you're expected to receive full time pay. Period. I'd go to the mats over that.

Of course there's another new minion in Darlings but still trying to bind with the stupid shark guy. Darn. :( Sea Monk in Darlings today but if you're still bonding with the shark you can't get him. :(

You've found a Hidden Opponent! Mathis challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum! Finally. Used my newest/weakest pet fighting Pock, Saper and Riscors with a Sir Skittleton attached and lost about 10 times.

I need to be on a permanent "stress leave", but all my stress is at home lol. Hey Hun hugs We didn't go to the actual graduation. It would have too much for Emily to handle and she did not want to go. We got all of her stuff in the mail :D the did not tell me that she was going to be graduation with honors (Magna Cum Laude)(hope I spelled that right). Sounds like work is a crazy place these days :( I hate when employers take advantage of hard working employees. You do the work you should get the rewards!!!!! That is so unfair hugs

I started ignoring him and just click around randomly until it is over lol.

This minion still looks afraid of you. Come back in about 24 hours to bond with it more. Ugh this shark guy is taking forever.

It's unfortunate you couldn't go but understandable.

FYI to fellow sharkies: I haven't been well this summer, once in a while I lurk but I've stayed hidden in the reef most of the time. Hopefully this autumn I'll be a bit better :)

Love your current HA! Verry pretty ~

Kojito You can take this minion home today for 10,000 sP. About time. Took a few days.

Thanks :) I entered a giveaway and got the doll. It's been on my high priority wishlist since I almost started... discovered it with a HA contest and wanted it ever since. Got it yesterday and of course, couldn't resist making a new HA ;)

Well congrats! It is a pretty cute item.

Musublob in Darlings today if anyone still needs it.

"You Win: Essence of Deep Water You were so close!" Apparently close enough to get one of the higher level items, but not the one I'm looking for. Darn. Put it in trades hoping to get the other item I wanted, the seal.

Edit: Everybody disappeared and site messing up with error messages and half the dailies didn't reset. :(

Oh wow still nobody here. New minions to zap. I didn't know minions could be zapped. How do you zap a minion? I only see the option to zap a pet. Anybody know what's wrong with Subeta? I keep getting pages of error messages again. Warning: Use of undefined constant multi - assumed 'multi' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /var/www/html/explore/train.php on line 90. And my training alerts aren't coming up.

Not sure about the minion zapping, I don't really use the zapper that much except during Morostide and when trying to get a certain experiment pet.

The errors are because they're doing some server updates. You can read about it here - 👋 Server updates!

Thanks for the info. I never use the zapper except during Morostide either to get new skins. Anybody else know how to zap minions? Edit: Apparently you have to zap a pet that has a minion attached, which means the chances of getting a new zap minion are pretty rare since the pet gets zapped and maybe the minion does and maybe it turns in to dust. I don't have any pets I want to zap, they're all already the colors/species I want. Should get a new loyalty box in a week, trying to decide whether to use it for a pet slot or gold account since my GA ends next week also. Hmmm. Sure wish we'd get another event to earn a pet slot. Don't know about anybody else but I'm getting tired of all the error messages. Are they ever going to fix it? And I also noticed my friends online and friend feed are both missing as well. :( And is anyone else having HA problems? Mine keeps jumping back and forth between the current and previous HA. Grrr

Where is everybody?

Hey and Hi everyone waves Sorry I have not been on in a while. Too much back pain to sit and relax.

Hey Sharkies, Kojito in Darlings today. But I'm still bonding with a Timey. And my HA is still jumping back and forth from old to new. Grr.

"11 months, 4 weeks, 2 days" Wouldn't 11, 4 and 2 be 1 year?

Hey, anybody know if there's a good reason to not miss any bath house days?
