Monster Rancher Metropolis: The Cafe: Archived Topics From Prior Years: Year 2001 Topics (Year Of The Heart Crystal): The MR2 Clean House Method
By scopedog on Friday, April 13, 2001 - 09:14 am:

Are you tired of your parent/spouse/SO/roommate/etc. complaining about how you spend all your time playing Monster Rancher and not enough time cleaning?

Are the piles of papers and books threatening to keep you from seeing the TV screen so you can train your monster?

Would you like to have a clean house over time with *very little effort*?

Well then, the MR2 Clean House Method is for you!

All you have to do is put the requisite number of misplaced items in their proper place whenever the event listed below occurs! Soon, your room/apt./house will be visibly neater!

Put one item away:
Every time you save
For every fight during a tournament (i.e an 8-monster tournament = 28 things)
Every time you feed your monster a Magic Banana
Every time you either freeze or revive your monster

Put two items away:
Every time you reload
Every time your monster earns a "Great!"
Every time you lose a fight
Every time you feed your monster a non-natural stimulant (e.g kasseitan, Manseitan, etc.)

Put *five* things away:
When you lose a tournament (whether or not you reload)
Each month you train.

And, once your abode is abidable, the above works beautifuly, minus the five column, as a drinking game!

Happy Easter!

I have a few more suggestions as well.

Put one item away: Every time Colt sings the birthday song.

Put one item away: whenever you forget to put your monster through a battle for getting distracted. (TWO away if it's an official, THREE if it's the IMA vs. FIMBA)

Put one item away: for each move a combined monster starts with (TWO if any of them are good/evil natured, THREE if they're good on an evil monster or vice versa)

Put one item away: whenever your monster gives you something (TWO if it's worth more than 100g, THREE if it's worth more than 1000... great for centaurs!)

@_@ *blinks repeatedly*...I'm done and I'm only in week TWO! Never try this method with a Wracky! -.-

I forgot to add... ranchers raising bad-natured monsters may find the Clean House method to be particularly effective!

I think I may need to use this. It is the only way my appartment will ever get clean.

Some additions I've found while going through the CD collection:

Put one thing away:
If you come up with a locked disc.


Put two things away:

If you come up with a monster you *don't* have a trading card for.

Put three things away:

If said monster is a *rare* (subtype ????)

section except i dun wanna go downstairs for
every tournament. but it might work when i get
MRA ^_^

If you are a MR3 player may i recomend a special catagory.

Put five items away and take the garbage out when your monster dies. (you have to mourn in some way)

Put an extra item away for every generation your monster is. (make you think twice about rasing a monster beyond 20 generations)


By Eagle Fierce on Friday, March 1, 2002 - 02:43 am:

Actually, Tiger,that would make me think twice about playing the game *chuckles*


By Khift on Friday, March 15, 2002 - 04:05 pm:

You only need to take the garbage out once a week, and I can guarantee you I go through more than one monster every week.....
