Goldenrod Tower

Owners: Lady Vulpix, TheBlueAvenger and classy_cat18

Mod Approved by Aipom of Doom and Wolfsong

Mystery Gift Floor

To make sure that this doesn't become "MG Please" spam, you MUST answer a daily question posted by an employee to request a Mystery Gift. There will be a question posted for each day; however, it may not be on the correct day (at least, for your time zone). You can answer the poll(s) for the most recent day, and any polls from the two prior days. All prizes that say "Stamps/CCPs" let you choose from one of the currencies to receive your money in.

Update: as of October 1st, 2005, anyone is allowed to post the poll of the day (as long as no one else has posted a poll on the same day, that is). The person who gets to post the poll of the day will be entitled to an extra Mystery Gift.

You will get a random Mystery Gift from the following list:

Common Items:
Hollow Stone, Red MGcoin, Lunar Gem, 1 Stamp/CCP, Solar Gem

Uncommon Items:
Division Gem, Ocean Gem, 2 Stamps/CCPs, Spark Gem, Photosynthesis Gem, Flame Gem, Blue MGcoin, Berry

Rare Items:
Darkness Gem, Light Gem, Rainbow Gem, 10 Stamps/CCPs, Green MGcoin, Gold Berry

Super Rare Items:
20 Stamps/CCPs, Mystery Box, 2 Green MGcoins, Miracle Berry, Stat Modification Die

If you receive the Mystery Box, you receive 1 Stamp, 1 CCP, 1 Red MGcoin, a common/uncommon item of your choice, and a free MG. You must post after receiving the Mystery Box to get the item and to have us give you your MG.

The Games Floor

To play the games, you need an MGcoin. Each game costs one credit worth of MGcoins; Red MGcoins are worth one credit, Blue MGcoins are worth two, and Green MGcoins are worth three. You get proper change back for using Blue or Green MGcoins. MGcoins can be obtained through Mystery Gifts or playing these games. Also, you can buy a Red MGcoin for one Stamp/CCP, but ONLY if you have none.

The Grabber Game

Remember those irritating claw robots at fairgrounds? In this version you pilot one over a 6X6 grid. You give directions starting from bottom center. Pick a square by going over one to five squares and up one to five squares. The better prizes are farther away, but you have a higher chance of dropping them.

Update (4/2/06): there's a chance of getting a collectible Unown Pokédoll instead of a regular prize from the Grabber Game. There are 19 kinds of dolls (some are rarer than others). You can either collect them or exchange them for shields: if you get 3 pokédolls that correspond to the first 3 letters of a pokemon type, you can exchange them for an elemental shield of that type.

Each day, you may use the Grabber Game and Scratchcards up to 10 times COMBINED. You may split the uses however you want.

Guess THIS!

An employee will think of a Pokemon, and give you a clue that should be unique to that Pokemon. You then have one try to guess the Pokemon. If you win, you get your choice of common/uncommon Mystery Gift prizes. If you guess wrongly, you won't get your Red MGcoin back like before.

You may only ask for one Guess This per day.

Scratchcard

Just like the lotto, you can come here and scratch off for a prize. Pick a card from the lists below, and scratch off three numbers (from one to ten). There will be three randomly decided winning squares, and an employee will tell you what your scratchcards revealed, and whether you won anything.

Group 1 Scratchcards
Choose from 2 Stamps, 2 CCPs, Hollow Stone, Lunar Gem, Solar Gem, Photosynthesis Gem, Flame Gem, Ocean Gem, Spark Gem, Division Gem.

Prizes:
1 winning square: Red MGcoin
2 winning squares: One of the indicated item
3 winning squares: Two of the indicated item

Group 2 Scratchcards:
Choose from 5 Stamps, 5 CCPs, Rainbow Gem, Green MGcoin, Darkness Gem AND Light Gem

Prizes:
1 winning square: Red MGcoin
2 winning squares: Blue MGcoin
3 winning squares: One of the indicated item

Each day, you may use the Grabber Game and Scratchcards up 10 times COMBINED. You may split the uses however you want.

Mystery Pokemon

In this game, you are given a list of 14 different Pokemon. Your goal is to figure out which one is the "Mystery Pokemon" that is randomly chosen from the list at the beginning of the game. To narrow the possibilities, you may ask up to four questions (one at a time) that can be answered by an employee with a "yes" or a "no". In addition to these questions, you get one attempt to guess the correct Pokemon. After this guess, regardless of how many questions you asked, you will receive your prize.

Correct answer after 2 or fewer questions: Any Mystery Gift item except for 20 stamps/CCPs.
Correct answer after 3 questions: 5 stamps/CCPs or any rare, uncommon, or common Mystery Gift item except 10 stamps/CCPs.
Correct answer after 4 questions: Any common or uncommon Mystery Gift item.
Incorrect answer: Red MGcoin.

Note: if you ask whether the MP is a certain pokemon, it counts as a guess if it is, and as a question if it isn't.

EMT Game

This Game is free and everyone can take part easily in a guessing game. A Worker will use the EMT but not tell you what TM popped out. You'll need to guess what TM popped out of the EMT and if you do you get to keep that TM. Clues will help you decide what TM popped out of the EMT and the Worker who's doing the EMT Game will give one clue a day. Everyone gets one guess a day after the Worker has posted the update for that day. This means you could have the chance of getting more TMs from the EMT if you're good at this game. It's been decided that currently you can only win 1 TM from the EMT Game a month. So if you win another TM in the same month you'll have to choose someone else to give it to.

The Item Floor

Hollow Stone ~2 MGcoin credits

Day Stone: Evolves Eevee to Espeon ~15 MGcoin credits

(4/12) Do you own a digital camera? If so, what brand is it (e.g. Kodak)? How often do you use it?
I have one (a Concord), which is very bad so I rarely use it; only when I need to take a picture quickly and there's no time to finish a film and develop it.

**The Blue Avenger** · 12th April 2006, 06:04 PM

Gabi: 2 Stamps/CCPs

**classy_cat18** · 12th April 2006, 06:07 PM

(4/12) Do you own a digital camera? If so, what brand is it (e.g. Kodak)? How often do you use it?
Some useless, cheap brand callled Aiptek. 3.1 megapixels and the pictures still look crappy! We stopped using it a couple of weeks ago.

MG please. I would like to use 3 MGCoin credits for a spin on the EMT machine.

**Lady Vulpix** · 12th April 2006, 06:13 PM

Shonta: MG: Green MGcoin! EMT: Smokescreen.

**classy_cat18** · 12th April 2006, 06:22 PM

Wow, a Green MGCoin. Another spin on the EMT, please.

**Lady Vulpix** · 12th April 2006, 06:22 PM

New EMT: Night Shade. The randomizer seems to like darkness today.

**Ace64** · 12th April 2006, 09:29 PM

(4/12) Do you own a digital camera? If so, what brand is it (e.g. Kodak)? How often do you use it?

I don't own a digital camera, but my brother does. No idea what brand it is, but I can swipe it easily enough if it suits my purposes. Aim and click.

Also, I'm buying Shonta's Smokescreen TM for 15 stamps, which leaves me flat broke, again. Easy come, easy go.

**classy_cat18** · 12th April 2006, 09:33 PM

I'm confirming this. Thanks, Trey. *gives him the TM*

**Skye** · 12th April 2006, 11:15 PM

10 G2 SCs 1,3,7 for Stamps, if I may.

*slinks off to bed, putting the poll on a do to list*

*Murkrow · 13th April 2006, 02:54 AM

[13/04] Can you speak a foreign language? How well? How did you learn it?

Er, I learnt french and german at school though I stopped about three years ago now. I'm surprised at how much french I can remember; I can barely speak anything complicated in it, but I've ended up on french sites/articles before (don't ask....) and I can get the gist of it. And there are french people in our house back in Chester, and again, I can generally get the gist of what they're saying. I can't remember any german, though I only learnt that for about two years. And when I was younger, I tried to teach myself spanish. Didn't work at all.

2 MG's please.

**Lady Vulpix** · 13th April 2006, 07:31 AM

Trey: Solar Gem. Jeff, I think they're leaving you.

Darkfire: of course you may. 2 Blue MGcoins, 5 Red MGcoins.

Hannah: Berry, Gold Berry. If you want any help with Spanish, don't hesitate to ask me. I'll be glad to help.

[13/04] Can you speak a foreign language? How well? How did you learn it?
Yes, English. I think I'm quite fluent, especially in its written form. I can't get rid of my accent when I speak, but people still understand me most of the time (and viceversa). I studied with a private teacher (2, actually) for 11½ years and then got the Cambridge First Certificate. Then I stopped studying English formally, but by then I'd already started using the Internet, and I still watch TV and movies in English, and read books in that language (and sometimes comics), so that helps me keep and expand my vocabulary.

Sell for 7 Stamps please. And thanks, though when I say it was years ago, it was.

**Lady Vulpix** · 13th April 2006, 01:59 PM

You can have your 7 stamps, Hannah. Ok, if you ever want to try again... you know.

**The Blue Avenger** · 13th April 2006, 06:00 PM

Gabi: Light Gem.

**classy_cat18** · 13th April 2006, 07:59 PM

[13/04] Can you speak a foreign language? How well? How did you learn it?
Do 133t speak and Pig Latin count? *laughs* Actually, I can't speak any language well. It's probably because I'm not much of a talker, even of English. I took Spanish for a few years but I could translate it better than I could speak it. The way my career choice is going, however, Japanese could be more useful.

MG please. I would also like to play a game of MP.

**Lady Vulpix** · 13th April 2006, 08:09 PM

Why? What plans do you have? MG: Green MGcoin. MP: Slowking, Pinsir, Silcoon, Mantine, Tropius, Medicham, Donphan, Raticate, Staryu, Luvdisc, Tyranitar, Octillery, Cacturne, Voltorb.

**Knight of Time** · 13th April 2006, 08:17 PM

Jeff gave me the following MP list:

MP: Mareep, Snorunt, Anorith, Nidoran M, Horsea, Dodrio, Magmar, Teddiursa, Granbull, Dewgong, Oddish, Geodude, Politoed, Clefairy

Question 1: Is the MP from RBY?

Okay, since the MP isn't from RBY, my list is now:

Mareep, Snorunt, Anorith, Teddiursa, Granbull, Politoed

Question 2: Does the MP's name have an even number of letters?

Jeff also gave me this GT!:

This Pokemon becomes bouncy when it sucks in water.

Hmm, would that be Wailmer? Blue MGCoin if I'm right, please.

[13/04] Can you speak a foreign language? How well? How did you learn it?

Yes, I can speak a bit of French, although not as (fairly) well when I first learned it in elementary school. It was there where I learnt it in the fourth grade. But nowadays, I occasionally speak a bit of French, saying things like bonjour, au revoir, merci, etc.

MG, 10 SCs (1, 2, 3, Green MGCoin) and a new GT! please.

**classy_cat18** · 13th April 2006, 08:26 PM

I'm planning on working in the video games industry. I don't know what my specific job will be. I'm hoping I'll work on the story or script. My animation skills are also good. I've already started looking up job openings. Some of them actually say that you have to know Japanese.

MP: Slowking, Pinsir, Silcoon, Mantine, Tropius, Medicham, Donphan, Raticate, Staryu, Luvdisc, Tyranitar, Octillery, Cacturne, Voltorb

Question #1: Is the Pokemon in their second stage of evolution?

**Skye** · 13th April 2006, 11:19 PM

(4/12) Do you own a digital camera? If so, what brand is it (e.g. Kodak)? How often do you use it?
No, but mom does. Not sure about hte brand, we use it every now and then.

[13/04] Can you speak a foreign language? How well? How did you learn it?
Hablo un poco espanol, I'm still learning it. But decided to take only 2 years in high school, and I'll take my third credit in Japanese in college.

2 MGs and 10 G2 SCs for Stamps, 1,3,7 please

*Murkrow · 14th April 2006, 01:23 PM

[14/04] What first got you into Pokémon?

I accidentally tuned into the second episode of the anime; I was waiting for the programme after it and there was only about five minutes left so I watched it. It didn't really catch my attention that much until the end where they showed the PokéRap. That's what grabbed me, because it just looked....weird. But some of them (also known as Charmander

) looked so cute that I tuned in the next day for the heck of it. It just grew on from that, really.

2 MG's please.

**The Blue Avenger** · 14th April 2006, 04:07 PM

Kyle: MP: It does not. GT!: Correct. MG: 1 Stamp/CCP. Scratchcards: 1 Blue MGcoin, 7 Red MGcoins. GT!: This Pokemon has to drink at least 2.6 gallons of water to use its main attack.

Darkfire: Miracle Berry, 1 Stamp/CCP, 4 Blue MGcoins, 2 Red MGcoins

Hannah: Photosynthesis Gem, Red MGcoin

**Ace64** · 14th April 2006, 04:12 PM

I'll sell the Solar Gem for stamps. Also, I'm teaching Mega Kick to Charmene.

[13/04] Can you speak a foreign language? How well? How did you learn it?
I can speak French, after three years of school. Of course, when I say speak, I use the term loosely. Horrible teaching this year, I can feel all my French draining away...such a shame.

[14/04] What first got you into Pokémon?

I saw the Sabrina vs. Ash episode (can't remember the name) one morning. That was all I needed, I was hooked (even if that battle did kind of suck, anyway.)Those were the days..

Shonta: no, it isn't.

Trey: 2 stamps for your gem. MG: 1 Stamp/CCP, Red MGcoin. Is there any chance you can get on AIM?

Hannah: 2 stamps for your gem.

[14/04] What first got you into Pokémon?
My brother. He started watching the show, with some apprehension first, then enjoying it, and started talking about it, so I watched a little to see what it was all about. I didn't make much of it, but then he got Pokemon Red and we started playing it and that's when I started enjoying it.

**classy_cat18** · 14th April 2006, 04:58 PM

MP: Pinsir, Mantine, Tropius, Staryu, Luvdisc, Tyranitar, Voltorb
Question #2: Is the Pokemon a Water type?

[14/04] What first got you into Pokémon?
Sheer curiosity. A couple of years before the anime premiered in America, I read this news story about it causing seizures in Japan. I didn't really remember it until I was bored one Monday morning and caught it on a local channel. It was weird, and I kept forgetting the Pokemon's names, but it was cool. I got more into it the more I watched it. I was way into it by the time my brother got both Pokemon Red and Blue.

MG please.

**Lady Vulpix** · 14th April 2006, 05:01 PM

Shonta: MP: yes, it is. MG: Red MGcoin.

Jeff, in case you miss it, I've replied to the poll on the previous page.

**classy_cat18** · 14th April 2006, 05:15 PM

MP: Mantine, Staryu, Luvdisc
Question #3: Is the Pokemon genderless?

**Lady Vulpix** · 14th April 2006, 05:24 PM

Are you psychic or just lucky? Yes, it is.

**classy_cat18** · 14th April 2006, 05:31 PM

MP: Staryu
The Mystery Pokemon is Staryu. Green MGCoin if I'm right.

**Lady Vulpix** · 14th April 2006, 05:59 PM

You're right indeed. Green MGCoin for you. Congratulations!

**Dark Dragonite** · 15th April 2006, 12:47 AM

Confirmed. *Gives to Latino*

[15/04] What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought? Was it worth it?

Probably my laptop which cost about £800 (though I paid about £400); it was for my birthday but my parents couldn't afford the whole thing so I agreed to pay half, because it was the only way I could get it. It was definitely worth it, not only because it came with a great pack of stuff (including a printer which has been really useful as I don't have to to rely on the library's) but also because it's meant that I can work on coursework in my own time and where I want. And the internet was obviously great as well, though that's gone for the time being.

2 MG's please.

**The Blue Avenger** · 15th April 2006, 01:17 PM

Gabi: Division Gem

Hannah: Hollow Stone, Ocean Gem

[15/04] What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought? Was it worth it?
It was a Dell Insprion 2650 (laptop). It cost over a thousand bucks. Was it worth it? Yeah! I can play Solitaire in my room, play Rollercoaster Tycoon, and store all of my Word files in it without Mom complaining about them slowing down the computer!

MG please.

**Lady Vulpix** · 15th April 2006, 06:48 PM

Shonta: Gold Berry.

Wow, since when is there a Spell Check button?

**classy_cat18** · 15th April 2006, 06:50 PM

Alright, 5 stamps for you.

**Dark Dragonite** · 15th April 2006, 09:22 PM

I have a Berry and a Gold Berry I would like to sell for Stamps please!!
(I'm trying to lighten my pack as much as possible, easier to organize that way, then I'll play the games again)

EDIT: Does this work like the one in the DTRC, and not allowed in the BT? Elemental Shield: Choose any one desired type. Give to a Pokemon, and it will absorb 30% of the damage from attacks of the respective type ~20 MGcoin credits"

Also, I would like to play Mystery Pokemon and buy 10 Group 1 Scratchcards for Division Gems #3,6,9 Please!!
