Owners: Lady Vulpix, TheBlueAvenger, classy_cat18 and Knight of Time

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 any or all of the 3 latest polls (as long as you haven't already answered them). All prizes that say "Stamps/CCPs" let you choose from one of the currencies to receive your money in.

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, Circle Gem, 10 Stamps/CCPs, Green MGcoin, Gold Berry

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

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 left. 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.

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. There's also a small chance of getting a Stat Modification Die.

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.

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.

Update: as of February 10th, 2011, you can request a game of Mystery Pokemon with or without Black/White pokemon.

Fishing Game

The aim of the game is to fish a prize out of a 4 by 4 grid with coordinates ranging from A-1 to D-4. You must post the desired coordinate(s), and a worker will tell you what you got (and maybe even show you the grid afterwards if he/she feels like it).

Each grid will have 1 empty space, 5 common items, 4 uncommon items, 3 rare items, 2 super rare items, and 1 specific enhancer. Stat Modification Dice are counted as super rare items in this game.

You may choose up to 3 coordinates a day for the prize of 1 MGcoin each. Whether you choose them all at once or one at a time is up to you (choosing one at a time might get you more than one specific enhancer, but it might also get you more than one empty space, which cannot happen if you choose all the coordinates at once).

EMT

You can request up to 2 EMTs each month, for the price of 3 MGCredits each. You will get a random TM each time.

EMT Game

This Game is free and everyone can take part easily in a guessing game. It will take place ONCE A WEEK. 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.

The worker who hosts the game will use a form like this one on the first day, and fill in one line of the form each day until the move is guessed or the form is full, whatever comes first.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

MP: Swellow, Tangela, Ekans, Torterra

Does it have a 't' in it?

I'd also like to try the EMT Game

[Lady Vulpix]

MP: Yes, it does.

Yes, I think it's a good time for the EMT Game, but remember it's one guess a day and anyone can guess. On the plus side, it's free, so you have nothing to lose!

I'll guess Flash Cannon.

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, it's been a while since there was an EMT game, is this one Iron Head by chance?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Hmm, it's been a while since there was an EMT game

New blood, new life. Hiiiiiya!

[Lady Vulpix]

Sorry, none of those guesses is right, but you can all try again tomorrow.

I'm still being owed a Mystery Gift for this post.

And remember today's poll is the following...

(21/12) What do you think of AC/CC right now?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

(20/12) What do you think of AC/CC right now?

I think it's a great concept. I only learned about it yesterday, but I can see major things for this 'thing'. It's a great combination, of fanfiction, role playing and ASB added with games and polls, so you can do loads of things with AC/CC.

To me, it needs a good clean-up: replacing all old big threads with new ones (and storing old ones in archives), getting rid of old unused threads like Avengers, etc. Make it more attractive.

Give me a week or two to really get into it and I could give out more suggestions.

[Lady Vulpix]

Heh. Your suggestions are always welcome (as well as any help you can provide), but I've already given you your MGs for that poll.

[classy_cat18]

Sorry, Gabi! Red MGcoin for your MG.

For the EMT game, I'd like to guess Iron Tail.

(20/12) What do you think of AC/CC right now?
It lives! IT LIVES! *cackles* Ahem. Love the revival. We have an archive for Dragon Tamers stories but I guess it's time to update it. With new members coming in, the Dragon Range will start going in new directions, which I like.

[Wolfsong]

*checks* I'd like 2 emts for the month and two group tw scratchards for green mg coins numbers 2,3,and 5

*hands over two blue mg coins and four red leaving me with none

[classy_cat18]

Amy: For scratchcards, you win 1 Blue MGcoin and 1 Red MGcoin. Your EMT wins are Tailwind and Teeter Dance.

[The Blue Avenger]

Shonta: Blue MGCoin

(21/12) What do you think of AC/CC right now?
I think it's coming back from death, which is nice. I'm interested to see how things will go from here on in.

[classy_cat18]

HM: Solar Gem

[The Blue Avenger]

Selling that for stamps.

[classy_cat18]

Two stamps for you.

[lvl100mewtwo]

(21/12) What do you think of AC/CC right now?

I find it so weird that when this place starts to pick up, I randomly come and check it out... it's like I have a six sense or something for it... and oddly enough, an 8 page battle almost complete for the range too... lol... I'd like to think it could come back to life, but only time will tell, and more players...

Could I get one EMT for the month (I have 4 coins only) and my MG?

As for EMT game... Mirror Shot?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Woops, forgot to end my MP-game. Is it Torterra?

Also, selling one stamp again for a MGcoin, and using it fish in in area B-4.

I'll wait for a hint before making my second guess in the EMT-game. *shifty eyes*

NEW POLL!

(21/12) What are the reasons for you to play AC/CC?

Bring it on biatches

[Lady Vulpix]

It lives! IT LIVES!

That pretty much sums up my reaction.

Alex! It's great to see you again! I was thinking about you yesterday. How are your pokemon doing? MG: Photosynthesis Gem. EMT: Aqua Ring (I like this one, it goes very well with a Vaporeon. )

MLG: I'm sure that "Bring it on biatches" is not your reason to play AC/CC, so I'm only giving you one MG for that. You get a Solar Gem. MP: no, sorry. Fish: Hollow Stone.

(22/12) What are the reasons for you to play AC/CC?
I play it because I love the interactions with other players, the characters I've developed over the years and all the writing possibilities. And the Battle Tower is also fun sometimes.


MG, please. And if I suddenly disappear is because the power is out again. The summer outages have begun.

[Knight of Time]

Is the EMT Metal Burst by chance?

[classy_cat18]

Gabi: 1 Stamp/CCP

(22/12) What are the reasons for you to play AC/CC?
Like Gabi, I like the characters I've developed and writing the stories. I also enjoy building up my team however I like.

[Knight of Time]

(20/12) When was the last time you wrote fiction, if any? How do you feel about it? Would you like to write something in the near future?

Hmm, I guess it would have been my last Battle Range post. How I feel about it...well, I feel I need to improve my skills a fair bit...I don't like admitting I may never be as good as others here who have wrote incredible stories, but then again, you have to do your best anyway. As for writing something in the near future, definitely yes, I plan to write another Battle Range story that'll probably be out in 2011 (either January or February), but I'm planning some major changes to the next one, putting an end to some things, but making a new beginning (in a way, sort of) with others.

(21/12) What do you think of AC/CC right now?

Well, this one's not going to be quite easy to answer, but I'm glad to see I played a part in getting it active again, I mean, even with some topics showing little to no signs of life here (such as Expedia, Buena's Radio Show, and certainly the Pokemon Avengers topics), it's good that there have been new additions here. I guess the full potential of how much AC/CC can develop depends on the number of people who join AC/CC or make a return to it.

(22/12) What are the reasons for you to play AC/CC?

Mainly to test my luck...if I have a day where my luck doesn't go great, it doesn't bother me, if I have a day full of great luck, well, it's a blessing, I guess. I test my luck here whenever I am feeling lucky, especially on Mystery Pokemon, so I don't mind sacrificing a Red MGCoin as long as things go really well on a particular game (e.g. guessing that particular MP after 2 or 3 questions). On the flip side, I like raising my Pokemon, slowly but steadily. It isn't an easy process, that's for sure, but it's worth it.

Speaking of MP, may I have a new game with D/P please?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Meteor Mash?

[The Blue Avenger]

I'll guess Mirror Shot for the EMT.

Shonta: Lunar Gem

Kyle: Berry, Rainbow Gem, Darkness Gem. And I'll let someone else who isn't likely to not be around for the next while handle your MP.

[Knight of Time]

That's okay...you trying to get more active here, Hypotenuse Man?

On a side note, I'd like to sell the Rainbow Gem and Darkness Gem please, both for Stamps. I have a big purchase on my mind fairly soon...just two Stamps short ATM.

[The Blue Avenger]

4 stamps for you. And I am trying to get more active here, but I also have a busy today and tomorrow up, so I'm not sure how quickly I'd be able to get through a MP game.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Come to get a Scratchcard! Selling one Stamp for a MGcoin and using it obviously. I'll scratch the numbers 3, 5 and 8.

Also: new poll!

(23/12) What bothers you the most about AC/CC, as in critique?
The lack of members (for now), the untested possibilities it could have and my battle not starting

[Lady Vulpix]

Kyle wins the EMT Game! Congratulations! You get a Metal Burst TM.
MP: Corphish, Kyogre, Gastrodon, Lugia, Makuhita, Rapidash, Gligar, Slowking, Lucario, Chansey, Dugtrio, Shuckle, Goldeen, Abra. I hope the power doesn't go out again and we can finish this.

MLG, you need to state what kind of scratchcard you want. Check the list of possible prizes on the first post. MG: 2 Stamps/CCPs, Spark Gem.

(23/12) What bothers you the most about AC/CC, as in critique?
Also the lack of active members (although I definitely appreciate the ones we have) and how long it takes to coordinate things with other people due to our different schedules and other real life issues. And power outages! :O But no one here is to blame for that, only the electrical company.

[The Blue Avenger]

Gabi: That MP was for Kyle. Just so ya know.

Also, you get a Hollow Stone.

[Lady Vulpix]

Oops! Sorry and thanks.

[Knight of Time]

Sweet EMT win Gabi, thanks. I'm definitely hanging on to the Metal Burst TM right now, even though I don't have any Pokemon that can learn the move, I'm crossing my fingers that somehow, something good will come out of it.

Gabi gave me the following MP list:

Corphish, Kyogre, Gastrodon, Lugia, Makuhita, Rapidash, Gligar, Slowking, Lucario, Chansey, Dugtrio, Shuckle, Goldeen, Abra

Question 1: Is the number of letters in the MP an odd number?

BTW, Gabi, about the MP mix-up, it's okay, it was no big deal.

[Lady Vulpix]

MP: yes.

[Knight of Time]

Okay, so there is an odd number of letters in the MP's name, which leaves:

Gastrodon, Lugia, Lucario, Chansey, Dugtrio, Shuckle, Goldeen

Question 2: Does the MP have a 50% chance of being either gender?

[Lady Vulpix]

MP: yes.

[Knight of Time]

Okay, since the MP has an equal chance of being either gender, that leaves:

Gastrodon, Dugtrio, Shuckle, Goldeen

Question 3: Is the MP a Water type?

[lvl100mewtwo]

Hey Gabs, haha, pretty random about the whole thinking of me Macedon is good I would like to think, I'm gonna try and pop a story out by hopefully tomorrow or some time this weekend, baring how much time I get apart from family and sports. Haha, you trying to hint something there with the EMT? lol...

(22/12) What are the reasons for you to play AC/CC?

I used to play this way back in the day, something like 2001-02... I always seem to come back every now and then, it's just a shame that I lost all my hard work from back in the day, along with the pokemon I had... ah well, maybe one day that info will be found somewhere online... lol

(23/12) What bothers you the most about AC/CC, as in critique?

Gonna have to agree with Gabi on this one, the lack of active members makes this a hard sell, but I'm sure it'll pick up. It's weird how this place is a little streaky at times, but it's still fun to come around every now and then, good place to be Now if only I could add on to my team... hahaha

~Alex

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I'll go for Group two. Still 3,5,8.

[Lady Vulpix]

Kyle: no, it isn't.

Alex: I remember you had Mystic (male Espeon), Trickster (female Umbreon with a nasty battle style), Bahamut (male lab-Dragonair), Titan (male Larvitar), Volvagia (male Charizard who used to date Amber) and Spike (male Jolteon). Trickster won the Sphynx Games and Bahamut took part in the 2nd Griffon Games. And here's the last post where you mentioned them. MG: Berry, Circle Gem.

MLG: you still need to name the prize you're going for, but I'll pretend you did and scratch any Group 2 card. You get a 1 Red MGcoin.

[Knight of Time]

Alright, with a 50/50 chance of getting the MP right here, I'm wondering...

Question 4/Guess: ...if the MP is Dugtrio?
