It's not a pretty sight. It's like cock fights but with traps instead of beaks and claws. Last year's world final was a B52 vs a Low Giant, in which the B52 won because he had a bigger swing range

Weird, I thought with the low giants center of gravity he would have been a shoe in.

Carpet moss propagates very quickly. You will notice after a while, if you look closely while you are watering from above, that dozens or hundreds of tiny little green specks float on the water and are deposited all over the surface of the planting medium when you water. These all grow into new moss colonies.

So that's what that stuff is, I was going to make a post asking if I should be worried about algae or something. 2 of my pots have these green specks all around the top part, covering the perlite, and leaking into the tray at the bottom. Does long sphagum moss actually come back from the dead or is this a different moss?

and how long are the battles? like a year?

Sphagnum moss can come back from very far yes.
