Question about Gambit

[JSensei]

I started playing PPS during Gambit 1. I didn't have a prayer at getting to level 100, let alone 200.

In Gambit 2, I cruised to 200 easily enough.

This time, I had to miss 4 days due to some travel. Combined with the lack of glasses, I'm wondering if I can make it to floor 100 before the timer ends. So my question is this:

If you don't make it to 100 in phase 1, can you still make it to 200 in phase 2? If I fall short, I'm going to be close. I have accepted that I'm going to have pretty much no stamps. As a non-casher, it's hard to get 20,000 stamps, let alone 50k. And that's if you play all day every day. Missing 1/4 of the overall event means that my only real reward will be the 200 floor SR.

Is it still possible? Or do I need to grind those last 15 floors in 36 hours with the help of some shakes and a vast stash of peronamins?

I'm pretty sure its nearly impossible to reach 200 without using shakes/peroanim but you should be getting enough from boxes or rewards to get you to 200.

[JSensei]

I mean, are you capped at 100 floors per phase. If I don't hit 100 by tomorrow is it even possible to hit 200? I don't care if I hit 100 this phase if I have MORE than enough time to polish off the rest.

[nip101]

do you mean do they lock you out of 100-200 if you don't finish 100 by tomorrow? I'm pretty sure they don't it just means you'll have more floors to go then other people.

That's what I figure, but I wonder if anyone can confirm. I'm on floor 85, so it's not that hard to get to 100. Of course it would help if I could hit a O box to save my damn life.

*grumble*
Got the X 4 times in a row on this floor.

I can't confirm but I'm fairly sure you can. All that happens is next 100 levels unlock. Your progress in 1st phase does not matter apart from starting where you ended.

[Vic47]

Can't confirm, but i'm pretty sure you will be able to advance the storyline beyond lvl 100, even if you won't make it before Phase 2 begins. I assume the only thing you'll miss is the Extra Stage with tons of Boss Encounters and Stamp Chance rolls people sit in after they clear lvl 100 during Phase 1, waiting for the beginning of Phase 2.
Still, i wonder, if i'll ever be able to play gambit 1 again to read it's storyline... ?

When you say "Play it again," you make it sound like you played it the first time; if you did, you can review the Gambit story in the Movies section. I found that out recently.

He didn't. he joined way after.
but I'm guessing it's gonna be the usual 'there might be revivals as the game progresses!'

[AzureWinter]

I joined the game early on but didn't really play seriously until the last PeroPero Gambit in October. I struggled to get the 60th floor and I don't think I made it much further.
This time around I'm already at floor 100. I took it easy the past few days and mostly having a heck of a time the last two because of bad luck picking the right box (no glasses).

However, my goal was to get 50,000 stamps for the card. But I've barely cleared 5,000. Not sure what the trick is.
The last event we had was a blast. Really hope I can get that card later since I doubt I will make it during the event
