Competition Sign Up Thread #16

[fogelbise]

Fogelbise, Congratulations. After reading your post, I am confused now, too. LOL Couldn't we just agree that the competition starts approximately on Friday, and it is up to everyone to figure out what that means, and it will go on for x number of nights, and as long as we all have the same number of nights and same number of nap opportunities and as long as Scionox does not close the competition before the last person has had a chance to get their x number of nights reported, we should be fine. Btw, is x nights 14 nights or different number? Haha...yes, I am good at being confusing sometimes... Your description works for me. Last competition was 10/18 to 11/2, that must have come out to 15 nights for that competition. It started on a Friday morning for North, Central & South American time zones and counted the dreams we had just woke up from (going to bed Thursday night or for night owls the "wee hours" of Friday morning). That competition ended on a Saturday morning for North, Central & South American time zones. So instead of Friday morning to Friday morning 2 weeks later, it was Friday morning to the Saturday morning 2 weeks + 1 day later. To simplify: the next time you're going to bed (if you woke up a few hours/minutes ago, yes, the next time) your dreams counts towards the first night of the lucid dream competition. (Think that's about right Scionox xD?) That is my understanding as well. Assuming you are not counting a nap as "going to bed" where that nap started and ended before the competition began (which is as of the time of writing this is still almost 13-14 hours from now). Edit: If we all use "Night 1" "Night 2" in our postings that would show that everyone is getting the same number of nights. Also, my bad, I guess that is 16 days. Friday through Friday is 2 weeks + 1 day so Friday through Saturday is 2 weeks + 2 days. I ran the scenario for the Americas and Europe using the start and stop time of the last competition and they both came out to 16 nights in case anyone is concerned...so we should all end with "Night 16" if we go the same length again this time.

fogelbise, congratulations. After reading your post, i am confused now, too.

That competition ended on a saturday morning for north, central & south american time zones. So instead of friday morning to friday morning 2 weeks later, it was friday morning to the saturday morning 2 weeks + 1 day later. to simplify: The next time you're going to bed (if you woke up a few hours/minutes ago, yes, the next time) your dreams counts towards the first night of the lucid dream competition.

Now I'm regretting that I asked that question Oh, I just remembered Scionox does this at the competition thread when he opens it: Note: Dreams you had Thursday - Friday night counts. Good luck and have awesome lucid dreams! That was Competition #15 which started on a Friday at 9am, so it's the dreams that you would write down on your DJ on the date he announced that counts, I think

[Shalink]

Well the competition starts tomorrow and I will fall asleep relatively soon so I just wanted to wish everyone good luck and nice dreams before we start the battle for ultimate glory, see you all on the battlefield... and maybe even in the dream world

[AnotherDreamer]

I'm a little bit confused about the point system, is it exactly the same as for competition #15? And how do you get more than 300 points if the competition only lasts 2 weeks + 1 day and you can only get 20 max points per dream from tasks. Does this mean that you can get 20 points in a dream, end the dream, DEILD, and then get 20 more points from tasks in a new dream?

[Sensei]

If you need help with scoring during competition, we can do it for you. Every seperate LD has a 20 point max. With DEILD chains, there is a 10 point max. That is unless he changed the rules.

[FryingMan]

One must be extremely careful with wording like "the next time you go to sleep" since everyone could be in different days. Yes, to be extremely clear, the competition boundaries should say, for example, "The first night counted is the local night between Thursday December 12 and Friday December 13, and the last night counted is the local night between Friday December 27th and Saturday December 28th." Trying to specify absolute times is just too confusing with international time zones. This way everybody gets exactly the same number of nights. Oh, and since the competition thread itself is not yet open, so nobody's had the chance to specify their private 3-step goals yet, and Thursday to Friday night has already passed for me, I'm assuming that Friday to Saturday night will be the first of the competition. Scionox, please clarify! thanks

[Scionox]

Dreams count Thursday to Friday night and so on. And i know timezones are always confusing, sometimes i wish they didn't existed but oh well. Also competition is Live: http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...read-16-a.html MyCooky and VagalTone, please confirm within a day that you want to go upper league(Posts weren't clear enough ), i can still do it. (Though i hope if you change you both do so, so there wont be 3-people teams again)

[LouaiB]

lower plz, I really need this motivation :p, but don't worry, I don't suck. average of 1 LD per week. lower league is going down!!!

[LouaiB]

Am I too late?

[Scionox]

Sorry, but you are indeed too late , it's already started. But i am doing competitions fairly regularly and if you want to join next one i can send you PM when next signup thread comes up(probably in around 30ish days after this one ends).

That would be great, but you don't have to bother yourself, I'll just keep a close eye on these threads, thnx
