Spellbee2's Sweet '16 Competition

**spellbee2** · 01-09-2016 06:03 AM

The competition begins on Sunday, January 10th, at 8 PM YOUR time (wherever you are.)
The competition will end on Sunday, January 24th, at 8 PM.

*NEW* Track the competition score LIVE, and see your personal stats here: LIVE Score Sheet (For some reason doesn't work in Firefox)
I will try to keep the score sheet up to date as much as possible. Please PM me if you need a scoring correction or notice any bugs.
I spent 8 hours making it please love it...

Rules:
• Honor system: Be honest and trust others to be honest.
• Lucid dreams must be posted in your dream journal on DV with link posted here to count. If it’s short, you can put it in your post in a spoiler. If you don't want to post it because of sensitive matters or anything like that, then you can PM it to me.
• Dreams must be lucid for Tasks and Goals to score points.
• Don't abuse the point system - No spamming. Spamming means intentionally finding loopholes and using sneaky tactics to get ahead of other members, rather than earning points the normal ways. If you have a plan and think it might be spamming, PM me to ask. Any points achieved via spamming will be automatically disqualified. Please play fair and remember that this is a casual competition with friends. Encourage others and celebrate their successes as well as your own!
• If you have any questions or need clarification to any rules, please PM me instead of posting them in this thread. I will update the OP if anything in particular needs extra clarification.

Each unique task can only be completed once during the competition (ie. a maximum of 5 tasks of the month and 7 tasks of the year).
You can complete more than one Task of the Month per dream. As per official Task of the Year rules, those tasks must be completed in separate dreams to count.
Tasks include:

• Task of the Month (January 2016) - 15 points/task

• Task of the Year (2016) - 20 points/task

Challenge Tasks

There will be one Challenge Task each week. Each task must be completed during the assigned week.
The second task will be announced at the end of Week 1.
Points for each challenge can only be claimed once.

• Week 1 Challenge - 20 points - Expired

Lower League: Make a shooting star fly across the sky.

Upper League: Look up at the stars at night, then pick one out of the sky and put it into your hand and describe what it feels/looks like. (TOTM suggestion from imazu)

• Week 2 Challenge - 20 points

Lower League: Find an oyster with a pearl inside.

Upper League: Find a treasure chest in a sunken ship, and get it to the surface.

Three-Step Tasks

Choose 3 different Dream Control Tasks from the Basic and Advanced Dream Control tasks above, excluding RC/Stabilization. DV Extra Tasks, Challenge Tasks, and Team/Enemy tasks can not be declared for the Three-Step tasks.

Lower League: Pick any of the Basic or Advanced Dream Control Tasks

Upper League: At least 2 of the 3 must be Advanced Dream Control Tasks

Tasks must be completed in order.
Multiple tasks can be completed in one dream, but they can also be completed in separate dreams.
You may change tasks at any time, even if you are on task 2 or 3, as long as your updated task choices are posted before the night you complete them.
If you choose to include an Unspecified Dream Control task, describe your task here in advance.
In addition to receiving points for the Dream Control task, you will also receive bonus points:

• Complete first chosen task - 5 points

• Complete second chosen task - 10 points

• Complete third chosen task - 15 points

If you complete all 3 tasks during the first week, you may pick 3 more tasks to complete in Week 2. The same difficulty requirements from above apply.

Team Tasks
Asterisks* indicate that points can only be claimed for these tasks once during the competition.

• Meet a teammate - 7 points (once per dream/chain)
Each additional teammate in the same dream/chain - 3 points

• Show your teammate a previous dream (in-dream)* - 10 points

• Have a teammate take you somewhere from a previous dream of theirs* - 10 points

• Have a teammate teach you something* - 10 points

Enemy Tasks

Enemies are opposition members from your own league.
Asterisks* indicate that points can only be claimed for these tasks once during the competition.

• Meet an enemy - 5 points (once per dream/chain)
Each additional enemy in the same dream/chain - 3 points

• Fight an enemy* - 10 points (+10 points if it is a pillow fight)

• Fight one or more enemies with your teammate(s)* - 20 points (+10 points if it is a pillow fight)

• Convert your enemy to an ally* - 10 points (enemy must start out hostile)

• Convert multiple enemies to allies in the same dream/chain* 20 points (enemies must start out hostile)

Personal Goals

Choose your own goals to complete in a lucid dream.
Unlimited additional goals can be selected, but only ONE per night can be claimed for points.
Each goal can only be scored once per competition.
Goals must be different from other tasks in the competition, eg. "telekinesis" is not acceptable. More specific/unique versions may be okay, eg. "use telekinesis on a DC" - ask if you're not sure whether it's too similar to another task.
Goals must require some degree of thought, not just things you might accidentally do in a dream anyway.
You can find some ideas in the Lucid Dares thread under "Anyone Dares".
Post your intended goals in this thread (wrap in spoilers if the list is long). Goals will only be awarded points if they are posted in advance.

• Complete a NEW Personal Goal - 15 points (something that you have never done before in a lucid dream.)

• Complete an OLD Personal Goal - 10 points (something that you have already done in any previous lucid dream, including outside of the competition.)

Dream Journal Points

Points will be awarded at the end of the competition for posting comments in other contestants' Dream Journals. Only DJ entries containing dreams from the competition are included.
Only one comment per DJ entry will earn points (a conversation on the same entry will still count as one.)
*NEW* Add these to your posts as you go. Include how many DJ comments you made each day in your scoring posts, and I will add them to the scoresheet.

• 1 point will be awarded for every 3 DJ comments.

This is just a little kick to get people posting in Dream Journals. I feel a lot better about writing in a DJ knowing that people are going to read and comment on it; I am sure others feel like I do. It isn't worth many points because this is a dreaming competition, but it could add a few bonus points to your final score.
When posting comments in a DJ, it is helpful to "like" the entry so that the member will get a notification on DV. You should also "like" any comments on your DJ when you read/respond to them, so that people know you have seen it.
Make sure you read the dreams so you can make a comment with some substance (more than a quick one-word comment.)

Now what?

Post your task choices for the following:
- Three-Step Tasks
- Personal Goals

Keep track of your nightly scores and post your updates/subtotals here when you can.

Have fun everyone, and good luck!

Edits (all times Eastern):
• 1/9/16 1:57AM - Clarified requirements for Three-Step Task choices - only Basic and Advanced Dream Control Tasks can be used.
• 1/9/16 2:14AM - Added link to Live Score Sheet. If you need a scoring correction or notice any bugs, please PM me.

**AstralMango** · 01-09-2016 06:33 AM

Woohoo! I'm going to love this!

Personal Goal:

*NEW* Go to Hogwarts and get sorted by sorting hat.
*NEW* Change the basic scenery to have everything underwater. Like an awesome underwater city.
*NEW* Go on the moon!

Three-Step Tasks:

1. Fly
2. Basic summoning
3. Element manipulation

**Ginsan** · 01-09-2016 07:14 AM

(Mango I'm steal-AHHEM :coughcough: borrowing your layout, it looks neat.)

Woohoo! I'm going to love this! <-- :kappa:

Personal Goals:

*NEW*
- Ride Darkhorse (a creature from my favorite novel: Legends of the Dragonrealm)
- Ride a flying creature
- Transform into a dragon
- Play the violin beautifully, it has to be beautiful to count
- Have an epic swordfight, it has to be epic to count. It needs to have at least some short distance/dbz style teleportation, superhuman athletic abilities/speed/agility, maybe even magic spells. It doesn't need to contain all of these, but you get the idea. I will be honest in my judgement of whether it was truly epic or not. It doesn't need to be 1 on 1, if I epicly slay defenseless creatures it will still count. Btw, awesome is not enough.
- Conduct an orchestra and create beautiful music
- Have a lucid dream where I am both very clear minded and is vivid for at least an hour. (subjectively an hour)
- Have a romantic/pleasant time with an attractive girl (not sex, I'm talking luvv)
- Watch a dragon transform into an armored night or vice versa (which happens in Legends of the Dragonrealm)
- Breathe in air for at least 30 seconds (the kind of breathing that in waking life would fill your lungs within 5 seconds)
- Drink huge amounts of water in one go. Many many liters. Way more than would kill me in waking life, waaay more.
- Put on a Hollow mask and fire a massive black Getsuga Tenshou (from the anime Bleach). And YESSS I am going to growl and scream the name of the attack as I perform it. It's going to be so badass.
- Use Rasengan (from the anime Naruto)
- Fire a Cero (from Bleach)
- Find a magical lamp and rub it to summon Cosmo and Wanda (such originality)

Spoiler for What the heck is a Getsuga Tenshou?!!?!??!!!?111!@!@?1:

Three-Step Tasks:

1. Fly
2. Element manipulation
3. Teleport

**lunagoddess** · 01-09-2016 07:22 AM

Woohoo! Go Team Crackle! I'm excited

Just to clarify: Are the challenge, team, and totm tasks separate from the three step tasks? Or do I have to include them in my three-step choices in order to get points for them?

The 3-step choices come from the Basic and Advanced Dream Control tasks, not the Weekly Challenge, Team/Enemy, or TOTM tasks. Good question, I'll edit the OP to clarify.

It's fine, just for future reference PM them to me instead of posting them. Come competition time, this thread is gonna be flooded with people posting their points, so any questions would likely be lost in the mix.

Whoopsie. That's what I get for copying and pasting Sensei's format. There aren't any restrictions on those tasks - either league can do them. I believe I fixed the OP, as much as I can tell from my phone. I'll double check once I get on my laptop later.

You're in the Upper League, so 2 out of 3 have to be advanced tasks. Unless you're planning on doing Advanced Summoning or Transformation, in which case you need to specify Advanced.

**ExothermReacton** · 01-09-2016 10:14 PM

Time to do this (and better than last time)

Three-Step-Task:
1. Super Speed
2. Element Manipulation
3. Mass Telekinesis

Interesting how I get most ideas for goals from non-lucids.

All these are new:
1. Master the labyrinth of Antara and find out what is at the end (My mind basically made up the weirdest labyrinth ever. One part seems like a dark forest, another one is a shop for office chairs with aggressive employes and another one is a riddle in that you have to push colored blocks to make a path. Should turn out interesting^^).
2. Get into the ruin near my house (Yeah, weird places everywhere in my dream world) and defeat the Cthulu guardian to claim the gold!
3. Build up or find a huge house in that most of my dream characters can live. Whenever I need people for an adventure I know where to find them!

That should be enough for two weeks.

**Pickman** · 01-09-2016 10:17 PM

Hopefully this will go better for me than last time.

Three Step Tasks:

Interact with a DC
Ask for advice
Full Transformation

Personal Goals (all new):

Do something in my workplace that would get me fired in real life
Streak in a highly inappropriate place

Do I need to be more specific with my personal tasks, or is this good enough?

**Gusto** · 01-10-2016 04:36 PM

- Reality Check / Stabilization

**spellbee2** · 01-10-2016 08:19 PM

EVERYONE

When posting your personal tasks, be sure to specify whether or not they are new (you've never done them before in a lucid) or old (you've done them at least once in a lucid, including outside of the competition).

That's already one of the Enemy tasks in the competition (worth a good 20 points at that), so I unfortunately can't accept it.

You'll have to pick a different 1st task. RC/Stabilization is not allowed per the rules:
