Do we only get to use Arco nuggets on this floor? Or can we save some for later?

For now, only on this floor. Good question.

EDIT: Brief updates complete. Leaderboard fixed to account for new treasures; signature also overhauled for first time in two months. Ah, the joy of finals. I think I'll keep 94F open until tomorrow. VOTE NOW!

[AuraKingVII]

A couple more questions: Do I get to save and vote, or just save? (I assume it's the latter, but I just need to make sure.) Also, can I save two Pokemon from the same category?

What do you mean, "for now"? That doesn't really answer my question...

[W.T.]

What do you mean, "for now"? That doesn't really answer my question...

Actually, yes, with only six floors to go, this will be the only floor where you can use Arco Nuggets.

[{(•)___(•)}]

Ok. I'm also curious about AuraKingVII's questions, so I'll wait for that answer before I post.

[W.T.]

As I promised, another update: I'd like to reveal how the ending is going to go.

Floors 95F and 96F will feature the last of our portals, so if you haven't collected treasure yet, now is your chance. The field will start to narrow rapidly until we have only two competitors remaining. On 99F, the two competitors will face off in one final challenge, which may take up to a week, to determine our overall champion. May the best animate being win.

I'll repost his questions in case they were missed:

[destroyer39]

I'll repost his questions in case they were missed:

I believe you can save and vote. And the answer to the 2nd question is probably yes.

[W.T.]

Oh, sorry, AuraKingVII! Never noticed your questions. The answers are yes and yes. You can save (including as many Pokémon from the same category as you want to, as long as it's less than all of them), AND then vote for your favourite remaining unsaved one.

I know this is a lame excuse for an update. But 95F to be up tomorrow afternoon.

Ok.

(I would've saved Flygon too, but luckily I scrolled down to see that Mr. Face has already done that... which means one extra slot for me! )

Eliminations on 94F

Final exams are now over and done with for me, so you can once again expect Face-Offing of celestial proportions. We have to make a few sad partings on 94F, sad victims of a random number generator that did not take their side. They will get to remain in the Ultimate Zone, however. Not as bad as certain other places.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NINETY-FIFTH FLOOR
The next staircase opens into a foyer of grandiose proportions... and even more grandiose insanity. You're just befuddled as to how the Arcology's builders come up with this stuff, man.

On every side of the foyer, cracked, red brick walls, set up in irregular orientations, soar to the ceiling... and just as quickly, they come crashing back down as the Face-Offers move relentlessly through breaking the bricks wherever necessary. An appealing Asian soundtrack can be heard through the background of the martial artistry. It's a dojo. Because every Pokémon game just has to have at least one.

This, obviously, is the home of the strong Pokémon, of the victorious warriors who were crazy for fights and gave their physical force to protect their trainers.

Still, you find it hard to picture this place as any type of paradise; it's awfully forbidding for those who aren't trained. You navigate uncertainly through a maze of decaying brick walls, always afraid that one will either block your path or fall directly on your head and crush you to unconsciousness. That said, you manage to reach the other side of the dojo without anything much happening.

And then you see the big door.

Just beside the stairs to 96F, a barred iron door is set into a brick wall. It towers overhead, reaching forty feet to the ceiling; the doorknob alone is much taller than you. The only windows in the fearsome portal are thin slits, through which the eerie glow of the room beyond are visible. No other carvings or markings lighten the door's total blackness.

Oh, of course. This is probably your high-school science teacher's house.

You are debating what to do with this door, when you notice a single word scratched into the door's heavy wooden hinges.
passwords
Well, if this is a portal, it's sure as heck going to take a lot of passwords to open this one.
If you have any more, unused passwords, PM them to me now. There is lots of treasure inside this room!

"Basalts," says that quiet, nagging voice inside your head as you look at the door. "Basalts."
You spin around and notice another cast-iron elevator, the single safe spot in the turmoil that surrounds you.
If you have any Basalts, you can now use them to perform saves, just like the ones on 94F. If you need review on how to perform saves, let me know.

So does this mean Moltres and Samurott are automatically eliminated?

[destroyer39]

i think so... but not if some1 decides to save them b4 WT posts.
