Lucid Task For The Month Of January 2005

[Seeker]

Introduction: This came about as the result of a discussion in chat. Every month, I'll post a task for everyone that is interested to try to accomplish while lucid dreaming. Report back in this thread, even if you didn't successfully accomplish the task, your efforts should make interesting reading! Whoever completes the task gets a custom title unti the end of the month. (Note, if you are staff, I cannot give you a custom title, it would override your staff title) Task for this month: Stack three rocks on top of each other

At first, I thought 'Is that all? It sounds easy!' But after thinking over it, the mind could play a lot of tricks trying to do that ... Shouldn't be too hard though. Assuming I have a LD again one day

[Shlumpeet]

Fly from wherever I am to Wal-Mart and cause shenanigains.

[Kaniaz]

How the hell do you do that in real life for a start. All the stones I meet are round and not stackable. Then again I've never paid much attention to them, so maybe they're not.

[Tsen]

Hm...Will try. After failures such as the chasing a duck instead of hitch-hiking of last month, this should be relatively easy. Got a snazzy icon made up yet? Hm...how about one that is updateable so that instead of replacing it every month, it just gets a new addition every time you complete another task? Well, off I go to find a new way to unintentionally humiliate myself by stacking rocks. Don't know how I could mess it up, but chances are I will.

I had an LD last night, but about 15 seconds after becoming lucid, people came to the door and woke me Well I'm on holiday for a week, so maybe I'll have some success....

[Seeker]

I'm still looking for a badge. With all the construction I've been doing the last two weeks though, I've not had a lot of time. I need to edit the initial post and let everyone know that they get a custom title until the end of the month when they complete the task.

[Kaniaz]

Just had an idea - you know our ranking stars? well, for each task you could have a little duck icon, car icon, with corresponding title= tag, the same size as those stars. Then you could have up to five of them on one person (after that you'd have to start rolling some of them off there or think about a proper phpBB mod for it). I think it would look okay...

[Tsen]

Yeah! That'd be way awesome. Anyway...I tried to do a WILD last night. I went to sleep around 10:00, expecting to sleep for four hours, wake up and then go back to sleep for an hour or two while attempting a WILD or whatever else. I woke up after a few long dreams and thought, "Oh, I must have slept through the alarm, so I guess I'd better get up now so that my mom doesn't have to wake me up for school." So I got up and took a shower...Then, when I came back into my room I realized that it was 12:05 in the morning. That was pretty trippy. So I played Fable and MechAssault instead.

Okay, we have a wieener! Where's my badge already? You can read about my stone stacking LD on my Journal I stacked four stones instead of three, but I believe that counts, as I had three stacked before putting on the fourth I managed to make some crap poetry as well, and discovered why I wake up from LD's sometimes, and that 2 of my RC's are not too good

Can't we just take the stars away then, and leave the green stuff? I can change my custom title... Hmm. That sucks

[Seeker]

The team membership stuff is a little tricky, all kinds of custom Icedawg code involved in displaying the colors and stars just right.

[Placebo]

Alright, I'll just change my profile for a while

[Aphius]

Have we actually made a badge for this yet?

[Seeker]

No badge yet, are you volunteering? I was thinking of a nice shiney gold badge on a dark blue background. The picture associated with a custom title always appears below the avitar, so, it should not be too large

[demonette]

hmm i can stack rocks in real life does that count?

[Seeker]

OK, the new badge is in place, Placebo cannot have one since he is staff. Let's see who the first non-staff person is to win one this month.

Originally posted by Seeker OK, the new badge is in place So that means you already made the badge?

I am sure anything you come up with will be better though. I will award a badge to "Bob" so you can see what it looks like.

[Bob]

Hi, I'm Bob and I stacked some rocks! EDIT: I've asked Bob to post here so I could show off the current title and badge waiting for those that complete the lucid task each month. - Seeker

[Amethyst Star]

Sweet. But is blue the only background they come in? It doesn't stick with the whole Amethyst thing and I'm trying to stay with that.... Ppl like it. *insert old "slow" smileY* -Amé

[Aphius]

So, the avatar is the badge?

[Seeker]

Originally posted by Aphius So, the avatar is the badge? You know how you have blue stars under your name? Those starts are associated with the rank of global moderator and are really a gif file stored off on the server. The same is true for all ranks, each can have a gif associated with it and they are all displayed under your avitar. Bob has not selected an avitar yet, so all you see is the gif under his name. I just happened to associate that gif with the lucid task rank. Seriously though, it is just a bandaid until somebody finds or makes a better one. Anyone notice the country it is from?
