[Lady Vulpix]

*Takes the stamps and hands Amy the TM.*

[The Blue Avenger]

Heh, since it's my birthday, could I get a Kecleon Juice, please?

[Lady Vulpix]

Of course! Who's going to drink it? I think this is the first Kecleon Juice that has ever been taken. It will be fun to see it in action.

[The Blue Avenger]

I haven't decided yet, but it's between Cam, Bobbery, Groove Guy, or Trezzatura. You're right, it will be fun to watch, which makes me lean towards Groove Guy...

[The_Missing_Link]

I'd like to donate my Odor Sleuth TM, Minimize TM, Pain Split TM and Metal Sound TM to the storage box

Edit: I'm also adding Super Fang to the list --; *gets nothing from the EMT*

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks, Becca. I've finally managed to find pokemon who could use some of those TMs at the ACs. I hope that helps them get adopted.

[Charizard04621]

The following TMs are for trade/sale:

1 Follow Me TM
1 Lovely Kiss TM
1 Rock Throw TM
1 Skill Swap TM
1 Poison Fang TM

PM me for discussions.

[Charizard04621]

Sorry for the double post but I wanted Shonta to see this. ^_^

I'm selling my Skill Swap TM to her for 15 Stamps. She should confirm this.

[classy_cat18]

Confirmed. *gives Karin 15 stamps* I'm giving this to Jewel.

[classy_cat18]

Sorry for the double post but Hannah's buying my Featherdance TM for 15 stamps. She should be here soon to confirm.

[*Murkrow]

Yep. *Hands over Stamps* I'll be teaching it to Latino.

[Knight of Time]

Hi.

Karin and I are making a TM trade.

She is giving me her Lovely Kiss TM in return for my Shock Wave TM. She should be confirming the trade shortly.

[The_Missing_Link]

I'm putting a Fake Tears TM up for sale. PM/IM me to talk *shakes fist at EMT generator for crappy TMs*

[Charizard04621]

Confirmed, I will trade KoT my Lovely Kiss TM for his Shock Wave TM.

[Knight of Time]

Well, here I am to make another TM trade.

This time, I'm trading my Magical Leaf TM to Rebecca for her Fake Tears TM. She should confirm the trade shortly.

[The Blue Avenger]

I'm putting a Clamp TM and an Arm Thrust TM up for sale/trade. PM me to make me an offer.

[The_Missing_Link]

I'm confirming it

[*Murkrow]

Out of interest, are there any restrictions to what can go into the Storage Box? I remember people donating items before it was implimented, so (considering if it's still allowed), would you put items straight into the box or post at one of the adoption centres saying who you wanted to give the item to?

Regardless, I'll donate these TM's to the box:
Splash TM
Lick TM
Glare TM
Sleep Powder TM
Karate Chop TM

[Lady Vulpix]

You can do either. You may choose a pokemon to give them to, or donate them to the box, in which case they'll be given to the first pokemon we find who can use them.

[The Blue Avenger]

I'll buy a Mermaid Curse for Kiva and some Matches for Anzu, please. *hands over 40 stamps*

[Lady Vulpix]

Heh. I hope they enjoy it, and I also hope Kiva doesn't do what her father did on his last battle (as in, dragging it out for so long everyone else started yawning). A Mermaid Curse can help a Vaporeon do that.

[The Blue Avenger]

I'm not going to buy anything at the moment, but I have a question: what's the cost for a Spirit Guard? Right now, it looks about free.

If it is free, I'll take two.

[Lady Vulpix]

Oops! Sorry, Jeff, it costs 20 stamps. But you can have a stamp for your help.
(BTW, no items are free unless explicitly stated).

[*Murkrow]

Me and Amy are trading: my Howl TM for her Torment TM. Once she confirms, I'll be giving it to Latino, because it seems to fit in with the idea of Murkrow's being bad omens. Or at least I think it does.

[Wolfsong]

Me and Amy are trading: my Howl TM for her Torment TM. Once she confirms, I'll be giving it to Latino, because it seems to fit in with the idea of Murkrow's being bad omens. Or at least I think it does.

I confirm this and Blazer is getting the howl tm

[Skye]

Okay, a question. You said a Pokemon without ears can't wear an Earring, or a Pokemon withoug a neck can't wear a Pokemon Collar. What about a Bagon that's wearing a Pokemon Collar and evolves while wearing it? The head and neck are consumed by the callous-shell covering, so couldn't a Shelgon wear a Pokemon Collar, at least if it's wearing it while evolveing?

And what happens to an Earring when a Pokemon with ears evolves into a Pokemon without visible ears when it evolves, like Houndour into Houndoom?

[Lady Vulpix]

Shelgon may have a neck hidden inside its shell. But assuming a pokemon with a neck evolves into something that doesn't have one, the collar is bound to fall off. As for Houndour evolving into Houndoom while wearing an earring, I'll leave that answer to Amy. She's the expert in that particular field.

[Skye]

Alright. In the mean time, I'm going to buy some TMs for my Pokes. I'm saving up for Free Items for Life so I won't buy much stuff ^^;

Ember TM x 3
Powder Snow TM x 2
Water Gun TM x 2
Thundershock TM x 2
Hidden Power TM x 1

That's 82 stamps, right? *pays and waits for TMs and disscount* ^^ Please and thank you!

[Lady Vulpix]

Oops, sorry for the delay!

N=82.

(N-75)*0.155556%+15% = (82-75)*0.155556%+15% = 7*0.155556%+15% = 1.088892% + 15% = 16.088892%

16.088892% of 82 is 13.19289144 which, rounded to the nearest integer, is 13.

Therefore, the discount is 13 stamps.

*Gives the items and 13 stamps back to Darkfire.*

[Ace64]

Hey, my b-day was the 14th, so I'd like to request a belated present, if possible. Hope the deadline hasn't passed.

I'd like a Gold Juice for my Voltorb, please.

[Lady Vulpix]

11 days... it's a long time, but we set the deadline to 30, so yes, you can have it.

[Skye]

I would like tow Pokemon Collars, for Sige and Drystan, and a Giga Drain TM for Sige please. *pays 65 Stapms, leaving me with none* Yay, brokeness for the first time since my glorious return. Ah well, I gave up my dream of having Free Items for life... Hey, I have a few questions though. If I every got to FIfL, could I donate soemthing I get with it to an AC Pokemon in the AC Centers waiting for adoption?

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes, once you get an item, you can do whatever you want with it. Though it took me a while to understand that acronym...

[Knight of Time]

Hi, I'd like to buy the following items for Rika and Flora please:

1 Moonlight TM (for Rika)
1 Sunny Day TM (also for Rika)
1 Pokemon Earring (for Flora)
1 Icy Wind TM (also for Flora)

I guess you could say I'm trying to get Rika and Flora to "follow in the footsteps" of the last adopted Absol and Cleffa I once had (aka by buying them much of the same TMs and items their predeccessors had).

'hands over all 100 of his Stamps as he awaits what the discount will be'

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, come on, the discount's not that hard to work out!

(N-75)*0.155556%+15% for sales between 75 and 300 stamps, where N is the amount of stamps spent on that sale.

In this case N=100, so...
(N-75)*0.155556%+15% = (100-75)*0.155556%+15% = 25*0.155556%+15% = 3.8889%+15% = 18.8889%

Now, 18.8889% of 100 is 18.8889 which rounds up to 19 (the nearest integer), so the discount is 19 stamps. *Gives Kyle the items and his 19 stamps in return.*

[Skye]

Alright, I have decided on my purchase(s). I would like a teal-blue and black Iridescent Juice and a Water Gun TM. That’s 78 Stamps, right?

(N-75)*0.155556%+15%
(78-75)*0.12133368+11.7
(3*0.12133368) = 3.12233368 + 11.7 = 14.82 blah blah blah… Rounded is 15, right?

So, Iridescent Juice, Water Gun TM and 15 Stamps, please. ^^;

And shouldn't Bagon be on the list for Metal Claw? And maybe Trapinch or at least Flygon? They can learn Dragon Claw after all, and Steel based attacks later on.

[Lady Vulpix]

Err... there was a mistake in your calculation. The % is just a percentage mark, not an operation. The formula computes the percentage and you're supposed to divide the result by 100 and multiply it by the total price in the end. Maybe the formula isn't as clear to everyone as I thought it was. Would it be clearer if I wrote it like this?

((N-75)*0.155556+15)%

Still, I appreciate your trying to calculate it yourself. You'll probably do it well next time.

It's (3*0.155556+15)% = (0.466668+15)% = 15.466668%

15.466668% of 78 = 12.06400104 which, rounded, results in 12 stamps.

*Gives Darkfire the items and 12 stamps.*

I'll add your suggestions to the list of things to discuss with Amy and Ade when I find them.

[The Blue Avenger]

Ahhh... I think I want a Slash TM for Maza and a Crunch TM for Raini. *hands over 25 stamps*

[Lady Vulpix]

25 stamps will only be enough for the Crunch TM. For the Slash one, you'll need another 10.

[The Blue Avenger]

Sorry, I meant to type 35. I just must have missed the right key. ^^;
