[Fett One]

Is this Bayleef?

[Knight of Time]

You got it, Fett One.

'hands you a Bayleef plushie'

Can I have an R in advance please?

[Fett One]

Thanks.

Incorrect Guesses: R

[Knight of Time]

Okay, let's try an A.

[mr_pikachu]

I'll add an L, myself.

[Fett One]

---L L -- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: R A

Guesses Remaining: 7

[mr_pikachu]

Hmm. Could this be a Shellos?

[Fett One]

---L L -- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: R A Shellos

Guesses Remaining: 5

[mr_pikachu]

Fair enough. I think this is a Swellow.

[Knight of Time]

That definitely has to be right (not to mention it's one I have already), so can I have an R in advance please?

[Fett One]

Congrats mr_pikachu.

I'll take S in advance.

[mr_pikachu]

Thanks, Fett! I don't know whether that one is already in my collection or not, but it's a welcome addition!

Here's the next one.


R _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (9)

Incorrect Guesses: S
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 8


Good luck!

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, seems this one has a 50% chance of being a legendary...is there a G?

[mr_pikachu]

Will this piece of information serve as a revelation?


R _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (9)

Incorrect Guesses: S, G
Incorrect Guesses Remaining: 7

[Knight of Time]

Ugh, forgot there was no S here, so it can't be a legendary...no big deal though. It has to be Relicanth.

[mr_pikachu]

Bingo! The Relicanth is yours, Kyle. Nicely done!

I'll take an R in advance, please.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Brian...for a moment I thought I already had a Relicanth plushie, and I realized I don't, so this is a new addition to my collection...and for the second straight day, it's my third plushie (6 plushies in two days...I think this is the first time I won 3 plushies on one day, then another 3 plushies the next day).

Remembering that list I first PMed you Brian, plus the Blastoise plushie you won earlier this week, does that make 3 Blastoise plushies you have? I'm tempted to trade my extra Gothitelle plushie for one of your Blastoise plushies whenever you're ready.

Anyway, here's the next puzzle.

Incorrect Guesses: n/a

Guesses Remaining: 9

[mr_pikachu]

Well, I'm still not sure, as it's quite possible I traded away some plushies after posting that list you sent me. I still need to check on those things... it's going to take awhile, so I probably won't be trading for quite some time. Sorry about that.

Anyway, how about a D?

[Knight of Time]

Well Brian, that's okay, but let me give you some advice...when it comes to the plushie checking, you might want to take it a little at a time...maybe the Internet Archive might help you.

But back to the puzzle, there's no D, sorry.

-r----- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: D

Guesses Remaining: 8

[mr_pikachu]

Right, that's why I figure it will be some time before I'm ready for trading again.

In any case, I'll try an L as my last letter guess.

[Lady Vulpix]

Then I'll guess an S.

[Fett One]

Is there a P?

[Knight of Time]

Hmm...you know what I think might be the way to go to get your updated plushie list, Brian? You mentioned back on July 20th (and possibly earlier) that your old desktop died...is it technically possible for a computer technician to retrieve the files from the hard drive (e.g. if it was somehow swapped into another computer for that computer's hard drive...I have a feeling that'd be pretty risky though) and transfer them to some sort of media that can hold them that your current computer supports, such as an external hard drive, a CD/DVD, a USB flash drive, or even an SD card like the kind digital cameras use? Around the time our last desktop computer died, the person(s) who helped us get our new desktop computer was able to salvage the C drive of the old computer, and its contents were transferred over to the D drive of the current desktop computer (hence; I think it has two hard drives).

There is an L, but no S or P.

-r-l--- (7)

Incorrect Guesses: D, S, P

Guesses Remaining: 6

[Lady Vulpix]

Breloom?

And I'll expand on what Kyle said: if yu still have the hard drive, it may be recoverable, and the only risk you run is that of not getting the file back, so you have nothing to lose.

[Knight of Time]

Yes, this one's a Breloom, congrats Gabi!

'hands you the plushie'

Well, once again I can't get another plushie until tomorrow afternoon, but let's see an advanced R will help someone else win tonight.

[Fett One]

S in advance please.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks! Current trading list: Lapras, Slaking, Nidoqueen, Charmander, Jigglypuff, Breloom.

_ _ R _ _ _ (6)
Wrong guesses: S
Guesses left: 8

[Knight of Time]

Is it possible to make a trade even if you've won three plushies for the day? If so, Gabi, just wondering how many of the doubles I have are not on your list?

My updated list of doubles is:

Butterfree
Venusaur (triples since I have 3 of this one)
Spinda
Vibrava
Meowth
Golem
Tentacruel
Chikorita
Shelgon
Gothitelle

I'm curious because I wish I could trade for your extra Jigglypuff and/or extra Breloom plushies at some point, please.

Is there an E?

[mr_pikachu]

Actually, that's been my long-term plan all along. I've been meaning to do it myself, but time's been short. Basically, what I want to do is transfer the old computer's internal hard drive into a special case (awhile back, I saw some on Amazon for roughly $15) that would essentially make it function as an external hard drive. I have no reason to believe that the hard drive itself is irreparably damaged, but I can't retrieve the files until I either pay a company to retrieve them or get the case, as the old computer had no Firewire ports.

Also, I'll try an L here.


EDIT: Yes, you're certainly welcome to trade after your third plushie; trades don't count toward your daily limit for plushie wins. ^_^

[Fett One]

How about A?

[Lady Vulpix]

This should be easy now.

_ _ R L _ A (6)
Wrong guesses: S, E
Guesses left: 7

Kyle: from your list I'm missing the following: Spinda, Vibrava, Meowth, Golem, Tentacruel, Gothitelle.

[Knight of Time]

Okay Gabi...I'll trade you any two of those six doubles I have for your extra Jigglypuff and Breloom plushies...whatever two you want, I'll let you choose.

I already have a plushie of this Pokemon, but I might as well throw in a K for good measure.

[Lady Vulpix]

OK, then. I'll trade my Breloom and Jigglypuff for your Meowth and Vibrava.

K _ R L _ A (6)
Wrong guesses: S, E
Guesses left: 7

[Shadow Wolf]

I'm almost sure that this one's a Kirlia

[Knight of Time]

You got it Gabi.

'gives you my spare Meowth and Vibrava plushies for your spare Breloom and Jigglypuff plushies'

Thanks for the trade Gabi, and Shadow Wolf, knowing your guess has to be right, can I have an R in advance please?

[Lady Vulpix]

Louis's guess is right indeed.

Was there any doubt?

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks Gabi! As for your question, well, even if its minimum, there's always a room for doubt.

But don't mind my nerdy thoughts. Here's the next one:


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _( 8 )

Incorrect: R

Remaining: 8

[Knight of Time]

Let's try an S.

[Lady Vulpix]

Well, the list of known Pokemon is finite, so the extra options run out eventually.

Anyway, is there an L in this one?

[Fett One]

How about a T?
