Thread: Lucid Task For The Month Of January 2005

That's good! The rocks are a nice touch. Thing is, you will have to create a new one every month.

Are you up to the task, or would you like to make a more generic one?

Aphius:
Can't you make the words "task completed" in white with a black outline - you can't really read the word "completed" in dark grey.
In fact everything's a little dark. Other than that it's pretty good - what program do you use?

Are you up to the task

Yep! I think it'd be better to make new ones each time!

Like this?

EDIT:
Maybe this one instead.

I use Photoshop.

I like the second one.

I did it with glaciers, does that count? Moving those huge things wasn't easy.
There were no rocks arround in the dream.

I wonder if a set of pilots wings would be better? It would take up less room in any case. Whaddayou think?

What I think.. um...

I think I like Aphius' second one, and will use it as my avatar since I can't stick it on my rank
And I don't know exactly what you mean by pilots badge. If Aphius is up to modifying the pic each month, I think it's cooler like that.
In fact, I could start collecting the buggers into my avatar (resizing into one pic)

But that's just me

So, I guess my huge limps of ice thing doesn't count. Ah well, I'll try again if I become lucid tonight.

Umm.. if I were the judge, I'd say yes. Big rocks of ice. You stacked them, it's a winner.
But I'm not the judge

I'll look into it now.

How would something like this treat you?

Just a gold rock with wings and a 3 on it.

It'd look like this if in a profile;

WOW! I LIKE THAT!

Guess I'll have to start thinking up tasks early now so I can get Aphius to make the badge for the month! I was thinking them up the night before. No worried though, I already have Feburaries task picked out!

It's a good one, a little tougher than this months though =P

Well, let me know when to make the new badge.

I'd still think that it'd be better to have a simple badge that we can use every month w/o modification or w/little modification that would show the past tasks the person has completed. Well, five or so.

I dunno, that'd mean coding work. I mean if Ice or Seeker are up for it, you could probably just put a little rock like one in my first badge in place of a star, and I suppose I can see the little car as another.

We'd have about a 16x16 to 16x18 pixel space to make each star replacement.

I just think in the long run, nobody will really care.

EDIT: Plus we'd have people competing to see who could get the most little icons and have people lying about completeing the task to get them and look like they have 'teh 1337 lucid skillz'

Maybe in peoples main profiles, the one where you click their name, where we could have some kind of thing for that.

OK, the new badge is installed and Aphius has been given Feburary's task. (Thanks man!)

If Aphius feels like it, he can make retroactive badges for previous months. I don't think we will be making any code changes right now to let people collect them, however, you might shrink them down, paste them into an image and include that image in your signature if you like, just try to keep it small.

Last night, I was dreaming and one of my dogs came running up. This dog has been dead for two years now. DING! Became lucid.

I flew a little while, of course, then landed and began looking for rocks. I was on a gravel road but found several irregular rocks about the size of my hand. I was able to stack three, but not four.

I wanted to see how difficult next months task was, so I performed it as well, OUCH!
Just be carefull next month where you attempt the task, this was one of my more painful lucid experiences!

Yeah, I don't see why not.

EDIT: Maybe we could make the non-current (retroactive) badges into emoticons, so that people can put them in ther sigs without using 150 of their 255 characters on image code?

maybe like :task1: :task2: or something like that. We wouldn't put the latest one in while the task is still running so that people couldn't pretend they've finished the latest task or anything.

I dunno, just a suggestion.

Yeah, emoticons are easy enough to do, but we still might need to shrink them down a little bit. I was on dialup for 3 weeks, it really sucked watching things load slowly

I like the idea of collecting them - it gives more incentive. Try to get the most consecutive badges in a row ...

Hey, I only have dialup, and I wouldn't mind if I were anyone else. Only people who are used to something faster but are using dialup ever complain.

Spoilt.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's on dial-up!

WS

Hehe, yeah.

Anyway,
This


Is Smaller than This;


Also, if you want I can probably cut the badge's file size in half.

Woohoo! I actually did it! Without screwing up!

The dream started in some sort of department store, and I was trying to steal a bunch of junk off one of the shelves. Every time, I'd get 90% done, then I'd have a false awakening and start over from where the dream started. After the third FA, I realized that I was dreaming and left the store. I walked a little ways outside, and I was trying to think where I could find some rocks, when I decided to summon some. So I turned around and there was a big pile of rocks. So I found three moderately flat ones and stacked 'em.

Yay! No longer am I a Lucid Task failure! Er...crap! Now I've gone and jinxed myself for next month...
