🏐 Dumplingville just got a whole lot louder (and more competitive). After a whirlwind week of votes and volleys, Volleyball Vicky has claimed the top spot in the Dumpling Duel and is officially joining the neighborhood lineup.
She came. She served. She conquered.
Now she’s got her eye on the championship title and the community snack stash.
As for the other contenders? Hardhat Hank’s mumbling something about structural sabotage, and Hobo Harry’s convinced a cosmic snack shift is to blame. Classic.

The heat is rising in Dumplingville! With votes rolling in and tensions simmering, our three contenders are bringing the spice to this week’s Dumpling Duel. Volleyball Vicky spikes her way into the lead, Hobo Harry speaks in riddles again, and Hardhat Hank is back with a tougher helmet and even tougher attitude. Dive into the groupchat as things get real competitive (and a little unhinged). This week’s champion is still up for grabs—who will rise, and who will get steamed?

There’s a new round of dumplings stepping into the ring (or rolling onto the court, if you ask Vicky). Hardhat Hank returns with fresh grit and an upgraded hard hat, Volleyball Vicky is serving sass and spikes, and Hobo Harry... well, he’s following the signs (and the flies).
As Week 2 of Dumpling Duel kicks off, tensions are rising, banter is flying, and only one dumpling can win the coveted title of Resident. Who will rise, who will fall, and who will accidentally set fire to the groupchat?
