I'd just like to know, are October's monthly challengers coming out at all or are they being skipped? I've been trying to keep quiet about it for ages but it's a week into November and I thought the free one at least would be here by now. And is this something the communications manager will be able to talk about in the future?

I was thinking maybe they might release it along with November's since October was pretty full.

I was under the impression a month (possibly September) was being skipped to catch up but I can't find any actual evidence of that being said

I wondered that as well, I'm sure they could find some way to make it work with the lore.

I'm mainly just asking for some communication about what's going on, I know there were a lot of challengers for Morostide but now that they're gone I thought the regular challengers would be ready, and we don't know what's going on with the battle admins unless they tell us.

I was under the impression that Zosi was the challenger for October, and they had Nojitat for the challenger in September.

Nah that’s not true. We’re in month 11 and only 9 possessed Challengers have been released.

Noijatat was released in August though, with her CS challenger equivalent at the beginning of September. June's challenger came out on the 30th and the matching CS challenger on July 11th, then July 30th and July 31st, then August 30th and September 3rd (Noijatat and Chongolongo)

Then we got Zosi and Mortobello on the 1st and 13th of October - I was also under the impression that these were the October challengers (whether or not a month was planned to be skipped since I may have made that part up)

Exactly.

If they did plan to skip a month, then it would have been good if they let us know about it. I mean, it would sort of put things back in balance, but if they don't say "Oh by the way, there's only 11 free and CS challengers this year because we're skipping a month" then we just assume it's being delayed by a lot.

Sorry, I didn't mean for this to turn into more complaints about communication (which I hope can be resolved with the new staff member), I really just want to know what's going on. I usually check the records for one of my pets with the number changed to after the most recent challenger to see who it will be ahead of time, but I've been afraid to do that for the last few days in case it still says nothing because that means it's not coming anytime soon.

I've moved this to Site Feedback because it's not really a question that another user can help answer. Thanks!

Sorry, I thought the questions forum was for staff to answer as well, but that's a good point.
