If it's any help, you guys can still keep looking until the end of GT - I'm afraid the threads will only be getting longer, but just remember the glasses will only be in the posts from July 17 and before!

Points tally for the second round coming up in the next post.
 

​

You know what, I think the Hello Kitty poster looks better in our hideout anyway.

Unfortunately, without finding the glasses, though, Team Magma continues to have zero seating options, but more will crop up in the future! If you are wondering why the TV is not centered, there is going to be something else on the TV stand as well.

Anyway, the main reason you are here - points!

Round 2 Results

Aqua 🥇 - 55.5 pts.
Magma 🥈 - 30.5 pts.

Aqua maintains the lead, pulling away further this round by annihilating all the requests literally within the hour they went up!

The next round of requests will be up in about 5 hours - stay tuned!
 
LIBEL AGAINST MAGMA


Oh, I would never want to say anything disparaging about Team Magma! They are wonderful people, you know, just not so wonderful as those on Team Aqua. We have to help them out, you know- remind them that there's a lot going on in this world outside of their little fantasies. You know, they don't seem to watch any television? Or movies. Or read any books, or listen to music, or play any games- it's very sad. They must be living very joyless lives. You can kind of tell in their faces, sometimes, with those dull and lifeless expressions. There's nothing good in their lives- I mean, their hideout doesn't even have any seating! Perhaps austerity is a value of theirs? That could make their ways make sense. Austerity in furniture, austerity in medals, austerity in points… you would think this rivalry business would motivate them to improve themselves!

I had the option, you know. When I was joining up, I could have been a Magma. But after all this, I am so thankful to have become part of Team Aqua instead! At this point I genuinely believe members of Team Magma couldn't find their way out of a brightly-lit hallway. Clearly they have been lost, haven't they? Or else they would be performing so much better in this competition. Maybe it's their beloved Fire-type Pokemon- I know they're thematically a ground type team, but they really rely on those Fire types! But it's not good for the brain to be so overheated at all times. That's how you lose brain cells. I find that idea very sad- these are our counterparts, you know? How are we meant to look good when we are touting our victory over people that fundamentally can't keep up with us?

In fact, I simply see Team Magma's members as pitiable. Clearly, for all their supposed intellectualism, they are highly scattered and disorganized. I would advise them to hire out for some administrative assistants, perhaps- it may be the only way they can get ahead. Their leadership is just too out of the loop. Heads in the clouds, all of them, which is crazy for those who are obsessed with the land. You see them kissing it, sometimes, have you ever noticed? In the most disgusting places, too. Caught one making out with the dirt in the alley behind our hideout. Just rubbing it all over themselves, too, really getting grungy. Absolutely vile. Most of them need a bath, but that one especially. But they keep claiming they don't believe in water. I mean, not liking it is one thing, but not believing in it? That's like not believing Pokemon exist. You have to draw the line somewhere, with extremism like this.

Oh, but they're really not bad people. I mean, they should be, we're villainous teams! But they aren't. So perhaps that is another strike against them? Not even performing villany properly- it's a crazy world we live in. Have you ever even seen them steal a Pokemon? Steal a medal? Steal some furniture? Do a shady deal? I've been watching them drop so many balls that the alley looks like a juggling troupe died in it. And then they just ignore the mess, because clearly they are absolute slobs. These guys are making Team Skull of all people look competent and villainous! I have to shake my head, and my fist, because these are supposed to be our rivals. Does winning all of these medals, earning all of these points, building all of this team energy mean nothing? It almost feels pointless. Just like Team Magma, hah!
 
Updates made! Both teams on the move and neck-and-neck today.

Although Arcaneum only has the username on one photo, the paper slip requirement I added is just a preventative measure to make sure people are taking their own photos and from the same quality, lighting etc of them I can tell that this is the same location across the images, so it counts for me.

Also amending the Infinite Craft task - while it's not a direct blueprint to get to an answer it just occurred to me that seeing someone's full screenshot could provide a lot of hints, so I am amending this to 'PM screenshot to me' also, instead of posting here. nvm too slow lmao but I don't think it gives away the answer too much
 

Your hard work is paying off and you've earned a few more creature comforts for your home away from home.

Magma 🥈 - 35 pts.

The gap was closer this round, but Aqua still beat out Magma in most of the tasks! The next round of requests will be up at around 10AM PST / 1 PM EST. Stay tuned!
 
Libel against Team Aqua
I mean I don't want to say anything wrong about team aqua, but why do they want to raise sea level? They do realize the earth is 70% water and 30% land, right? What is their plan? Raising the water level more, so there is no land left? That's ridiculous. Even a numel can figure out there's no need to increase the seawater. But, again, these grunts love water, and I do agree Pokemon's population in the sea decreases by a lot compare to 30 year ago. However, maybe that's for the better! Corsola when it stays in the water, it doesn't get any evolution, but you know how it gets its evolution? That's right. Coming up to stay on land! Cursola is bigger and stronger. It just proved increasing landmass is the best option here. Team aqua need to touch more land and evolve like corsola. However, most of the time, they are on land, talking and buying lemonade at the lilycove mall. Maybe they are incapable of evolving.


Also, did you know? If you join our team, you get a free cute horn hat, instead of the old-fashioned, cheap pirate bandana that was bought off Pemu. Also, their old uniforms, a white striped shirt, make them look like prisoners. I already expect team aqua to have criminal records already, but I didn't expect them to publicly show they are a criminal. I'm pretty sure all of their uniforms are from Pemu.

Team Aqua, they don't have any money. Their uniforms suck. Just look at one of their bosses, Matt. He basically didn't wear his shirt. You know your uniform is the worst when your boss doesn't wear it. At least, recently, they started changing the shirt from Black to Blue stipes. Hopefully, they're not from Pemu again.

Whereas, our magma uniform are 100% made from wooloo's cotton, more fashionable, warm and have these little horns sticking out (We didn't get that from wooloo or dubwool, we promise). All of them are locally made from the same clothing company that makes Hoenn's costume contest. Our boss also wears our uniforms. I know the jacket looks a little bit too thick, but they are actually quite cool. And, did we mention? We're rich, so join us.


Finally, don't get me started on their mascot, Sharpedo. Out of all water type pokemon to represent the issue of water crisis, they picked sharpedo? I mean there are so many water type pokemon to choose from. For example, they could have picked Corsola to represent the destruction of the barrier reef, but I'm glad they didn't pick this. Otherwise, we wouldn't know corsola can evolve on land. Wailord should also be picked as mascot to represent how water pokemon species are endangered. And, the worst part of all, they did not pick Spheal as their mascot. How is that possible??? Due to rising temperatures, the ocean temperature has become really hot, I mean who wants Spheal to be in a hot ocean. It is an ice type. It needs to stay in cold water. I don't want this little seal to melt. If they picked Spheal as their mascot, I would have join them from the start.

And, what problems are they trying to show with a sharpedo? Sharpedo do not have enough food sources in the water? Why do they need more water to have more food sources? They should have picked themselves as the sharpedo's food source.

To think that they are joining the Villion Olympics is laughable to us. We will teach them some manners and destroy them once and for all.
