Also, I see points for fighting enemies -- what about converting them to your side/being nice? Any points there? Also, does shrinking/enlarging/multiplying fit in under basic dream control/changing DCs?

I much prefer peaceful/friendly tasks to fighting tasks, so I would love this!Quote:

OK. I have revised the rules with some other Competitors and come up with some "compromises" and changes. It will change the way we score things like crazy. Will post it when we are done with it, but it should make everyone very happy. :rolllaugh: <-<- Maybe not that happy.:) <-<- this happy.
Cat, I thought about that, but couldn't come up with anything. That is why I put points for meeting without fighting. That way you can still hang with both sides. Shrinking and growing. Might need to be added. I'll talk to some people about it. :D
Those who use alarm DEILD could easily get 10 Lds in a chain if they had the time. I have no idea if they should all count as seperate events. This morning I set my alarm for 2 hours before I really needed to wake, with a 9 minute snooze. I hit a DEILD almost every time, but each was a small petty LD not nearly as cool as any one of my non-alarm based LDs. I do it just for fun and because I love the feeling of transitioning.
One problem is the limited recall because having so many micro LDs in a row makes them all sort of blend together. In a sense I really just had a long LD with fading in and out. I am not sure if a chain like this would warrent full points for each. No idea the best way to handle it.
Perhaps if each section is clear enough to be a distinct good DJ entry with multiple events they could count as full LDs, but at some point they are not truelly distinct seperate events in my opinion. Good luck deciding the best approach to that.
I would like to propose a simple rule. Only 3 LDs a night can count for full points. Beyond that you would just get say 3 bonus points for each extra LD. You would score the best LD regardless of order or style/method.
Sensei, what is the SAO Menu? Also, thank you for being so flexible after putting in all that work setting up the rules and point system!!Quote:

I've got the time, but I've never gotten this to work. It is not "easy." For one thing, I can take upwards of 40 minutes or more to fall asleep sometimes, even with all my new fangled back-to-sleep skills. Anything, once you're skilled enough, is "easy." Maybe it's easy after 26 years and a LDing supercomputer for a brain with all your dream yoga skills, but after 1 year, it still seems entirely impossible.Quote:

(Although I happen to know the DEILDing scoring, and the scoring in general is changing pretty drastically...wait for it)
Does make me want to keep trying though, since I'd love to be able to choose oodles of "little" LDs in addition to the major long ones.
edit:
Just noticed the fight an enemy option! WHOOHOO, McCoys, hope you enjoy the taste of lightsaber!
Well... okay.... this make sense... but I'm going to kick your ass anyway :PQuote:

1) mass telekinesis
2) go throught a solid object
3) teleport
Sivason, we think we already found a way to fix the "DEILD problem" :P If this competition gets crazy, then we will try and fix it again next time, but the rules need to be put up soon since for some, the competition starts tomorrow. Thank you for your input.
Nfri.
You had better bring your A game. I got a new skill! ;)
3 step tasks:
Basic Summoning (for example: chocolate in my pocket)
Eat Something (Hopefully chocolate)
Teleport (I would love to get to the Taj Mahal)
Personal Task: I really want to do something with a dragon, either summon one or become one, and either befriend and ride it, or if I am a dragon then fly in dragon shape - that would be so cool
3 step task:
Basic summoning (phone in my pocket, for example, or teammate)
Put hand through solid object
Pass through solid object
Personal task: full transformation (any animal, though leaning towards dragon or tree)
When I said being nice to DCs, I envisioned facing frightening or threatening DCs w/ nonviolence, and not just being nice to DCs who are already neutral or friendly. So night before last i tricked a violent mob into thinking we were friends from high school. Dream ended with us partying. Anyways, based on RPG law (at least old school planescape: torment rules) a hero should be able to beat the game without killing anyone! Just sayin :)
Sensei, I think Im going to puss out of this one. Ive got some personal stuff and other dreaming projects so Im feeling spread a bit thin. Its actually gotten me a little cranky. Sorry, maybe Ill catch the next one. Good luck to all.
:crying: xanous, how could you?
I guess I'll have to change the teams a bit. :P
