Ginsan's Amazing Competition

**Ginsan** · 03-20-2014 12:26 AM

What is this?
A 競争. A Kyoso.

What?
A competition.

Seriously... What is this?
It's a competition!! Com-pe-TITION!!. A lucid one. You can share your dreams and excitements instead of writing a dream journal and have 1% chance that anyone will notice it. You can get motivated, you can compete with your friends and if you don't have any, I guarantee that you will make friends. I know Scionox (previously known as Checker666) already does these and I am very grateful for that, but there is a gap between the current and next competition and I wanted to fill the gap, of course, the rules of this one are a little different, just for the sake of being different.

There's loads of points With other competitions, only the winners get points, but I am very generous

The winners get 150 points and the second and third places get 100 community hall points.

The best two teams of both win a date together

If there are less then 20 players the rewards will be: 100 for winners and 70 for the 2nd and 3rd, if there are less then 10 players I will cry.

Alright, let's get it on!! When does it start and what are the rules?!
It starts on monday the 24th of march. The night from the 23rd to the 24th also counts. You get points for remembering dreams, inducing a lucid dream in a special way, becoming lucid and doing certain things inside a dream. There will be a league for beginners and a league for intermediate-or-above players. Even though I made a joke about it, there won't be teams. The basic and advanced tasks have to be done while lucid. And there is no point limit. And without a dream journal entry you do not get any points.

5-step-task
By completing 5-step-tasks you can multiply the points you get from doing certain tasks. Before doing them, you choose which tasks you want to do and in which order, preferably at the beginning of the competition. Every next task has to have more points than the previous one. So your tasks go from easy to difficult. For completing the first task you get only half the points. 2nd: 1.5x, 3rd: 3x, 4th: 5x and for the last of the 5-step-tasks you get 8 times the points of the original task, and an extra special power of your choice.

Not-in-dream-tasks
WBTB ~ 3 points, counts once a day (click to find out what it is)
Remember 1 dream ~ 1 point
Remember 3 dreams ~ 5 points
Remember 5 dreams ~ 10 points
Successfully WILD ~ 10 points
WBTB 3 times or more in 1 night ~ 10 points
WILD and fail after trying for 30 minutes ~ 15 points
Have a lucid dream 3 nights in a row ~ 15 points
Have a lucid dream every night during this competition ~ you are too good to compete and are disqualified

Of course some things are ridiculous and are only put there to be funny, and will be changed before it starts. You can sign up in here, it starts at march 24th. Sign up by saying "I am joining too!!"

**RedStuf** · 03-20-2014 10:48 AM

I'm afraid I'd be too good at this.
Just last night I had a 2-hour WILD attempt without falling asleep. If I can keep that up I can win this in no-time.

(I'm not joining btw, I'm still working on getting lucid)

**Ginsan** · 03-20-2014 11:46 AM

Take a look at the other competitions, it's great fun.
And yeah anybody could win if they did had the willpower to try and get a WILD for 2 hours every day..

**RedStuf** · 03-20-2014 01:50 PM

I'm a pretty odd being, I get bored quickly but WILDing doesn't seem to bore me in the slightest XD
I'll check out the other competitions once I get a little more experienced

**Ginsan** · 03-20-2014 01:56 PM

You can enter the league for beginners, really it´s loads of fun. A lot of people in the beginner league are really beginners, some have like 1 or 2 lucids during the 2 week competition period. I see you just joined this forum 2 days ago but it doesn´t matter. You can get points by doing WBTBs and just by remembering dreams, and if you do WBTBs, the chance that you are going to get lucid and remember dreams within 1 or 2 days are very high. C´mon man, just join! Don´t be a bore!

**atramentis** · 03-20-2014 02:22 PM

Yooooo I'll join, put me in the beginners league :3

**Ginsan** · 03-20-2014 02:31 PM

Awesome! The first player

**JoannaB** · 03-21-2014 12:03 AM

I am in to help keep me motivated. Plus in the past I have at times had a lucid right after the Scionox competition ended, so this way I will get some points for it if I do.

Lower league.

I noticed you have points for dreams but not for fragments unlike Scionox, so does one have to recall a full dream to get anything?

**Ginsan** · 03-21-2014 01:41 AM

Great that you are joining too!

I just forgot the fragments. And I have to wait because I have edited it too often

**Sibyline** · 03-21-2014 06:44 PM

I think it's a good idea to have another competition, and I really like the super advanced fart task Funny-Facebook-Covers-41.jpg, but there are too many tasks for my liking. So I'm afraid I'll have to TL;DR out of this one.

**Ginsan** · 03-22-2014 01:46 AM

If you were coming with such a lame excuse you might as well have said nothing at all..

**JoannaB** · 03-22-2014 02:54 AM

Ginsan, one of the things I like about Scionox' competitions is that he has only positive comments for others, encouraging, so I hope that despite the differences that is something you intend to follow as well. What is your plan for if there are not enough participants, maybe postpone the competition and try again another time? I am not sure whether this will be fun with just three people. Also then giving awards to the top three would not make any sense. I am beginning to wonder whether I couldn't use a break after all. Sometimes taking a break actually is helpful, and one succeeds more as a result of that. Not sure.

**Ginsan** · 03-22-2014 10:12 PM

Joanna I was just being honest, I didn't meant to offend anyone. And you may be right, a 3 person competition is not as fun as a 30 person competition but why should I cancel it? I have enough free time.. You may take a break if you want, we can go on with just the 2 of us. I like looking at my dream journal or waking up and getting excited about how many points I got. But let me tell you this, sometimes when you want to forget about something or take it easy, it tends to occupy your mind more than usual. So I will just keep you signed up and if you feel like reporting your score, you can report your score

Hm. I noticed that Scionox' competition took my mind off the TotM because there were so many options, and I also didn't manage to do any proper dream control because I couldn't remember any specific task. I didn't mind though, because the competition gave me better recall and more LDs than usual. But I really like the TotM too, and it always takes me two or three weeks to remember those, so I think that all these options ^^^ wouldn't be helpful to me.

I saw that you didn't have many participants, so after reading through it, I decided to tell you it was a good idea and why I chose not to participate, while at the same time giving your thread a little bump so perhaps more people would see it.

And here's another little bump. I hope more people sign up.

**Ginsan** · 03-22-2014 10:57 PM

I appreciate your bumping and understand why you don't feel like joining. But like I told Joanna, if you ever feel like reporting your score after a good night, you're always welcome, miss Sibyline

**Sibyline** · 03-22-2014 11:05 PM

Well, I can promise you that should I remember to do any advanced farting, you'll be the first to know. Best task ever!

**JoannaB** · 03-22-2014 11:07 PM

Ok, we will see, maybe I will participate or maybe I won't. I do appreciate the point that there is no harm in reporting points when they happen, and I do find that the points motivate me to record dreams.

**Ginsan** · 03-22-2014 11:45 PM

Alright ladies, happy lucid farting

**JoannaB** · 03-24-2014 09:39 AM

Did I say I have at times had a lucid right after Scionox competition ended? I did.

Short LUCID: why van parked in mid street, caught RC fail but not FA - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

**Sibyline** · 03-24-2014 10:40 AM

No no, you always have a lucid the day before the competition ends. Remember that!

**JoannaB** · 03-24-2014 12:07 PM

So not sure how to add up these point, what would count in this competition:
Do I get 0.5 for remembering fragment since I got lucid in fragment? (0.5)
WBTB (3)
Lucid (5)
Do I count RC or not? It was a failed RC but I noticed I was dreaming anyway.
I assume I do not count stabilization because I lost dream immediately after stabilization attempt and proceeded to false awakening.

**Ginsan** · 03-24-2014 03:31 PM

I have 1 fragmented dream and 1 full, 1.5 points

Joanna, you get half a point for the fragment, 3 for the WBTB, 5 for lucidity and obviously not points for stabilization, since you didn't stabilize

You do get points for the RC, technically it was not succesful because you didn't get lucid by realizing something is wrong. BUTT, you did a RC in your dream as a result of practice and you realized that you are dreaming, whether the reality check revealed something unreal or not. So that is 10.5 points.

When I get editing access again, I will add you and our points to the list and make a single league.

Not really - if you wanted a serious competition and people taking part investing quite a lot of time, which goes amiss elsewhere - you should have set up a serious first post. Sorry to say - but it's not even overly funny, but probably alienated very many people.
This includes the tone of expression and answering as well.

**Ginsan** · 03-24-2014 09:06 PM

Dear Stephl, your post left me surpisingly confused. Are you saying that I should have been more formal? Would I have more participants if I was more serious? And why did you post this, do you really want to help me run a better competition?
