Thread: Sensei's Sexy Comp Sign Ups.

I'll join advanced, average 7 LDs/week. It can be more or less depending on the week though.

I've been a scaredy-cat since my dream control tanked during the last comp, but hopefully I can turn that around this time!
At the very least, it'll be good motivation for me to journal daily and read more people's DJs.

I'm totally going to get smoked in there but I could use the extra motivation, and look forwards to battling LD wits with/against Percy, Sensei, and dolphin . Now pardon me while I go take a day-long nap, I'm going to need the extra sleep in the bank with all the crazy LD-inducing WBTB's I'm going to be pulling off!

Congrats, FryingMan!

Hey Ebbtide,
You earn points in the competition for recalling non-lucid dreams too. Since it's a lucid dreaming competition, more points are scored for lucid dreams, but you could join the beginner's category if you want!

Please put me in the lowest class and tell me what to do. Or is it the same as the Opening Post of (The Old Comp Thread) here?

And I get a Dream Character to sing to me

This is just the sign-up thread, Sensei will post another thread with the teams and challenges in about a week.

So naturally I blow a 100-point dream before the competition starts. That's OK, "may my awesome bonus wings impress my opponents, and steel the resolution of my teammates!"

I've been out of practice for a while now, so this sound like the perfect way to get back into lucid dreaming. I was intermediate at the last competition, but unless anyone disagrees, I think I should be signed up at the lowest grade, as I haven't had a lucid dream in a month or so, and my frequency wasn't that high before either.

Pickman! Welcome, I will never forget our partnership in that competition in 2014, I learned your name so well in order to summon you and get points for our team! I remembered your name several times in a dream and tried to summon you as well. Great to have you here, best of luck in the competition!

I'm interested in joining the middle league.
My frequency is about 2-4 LDs a month, a bit more when I'm actively focused on LDing. This sounds like a lot of fun =).

Hey FryingMan, nice to hear from you again. Have fun in this years competition!

Hey I actually realized the points come from "completing a TotM task," not "getting wings for completing a TotM task", so even if you've already got wings for a task, you still can get comp points for having another LD during the competition where you do that (or another) TotM task. (Please, please let it be so! It would be sorta unfair otherwise, and punish wings-havers!)

My lack of wings rose suspicion.. yes, I was saving the ToTM for the competition hahaha. But definitely sounds fair what Fyingman claims!

But I am a Master Tactician, got other goodies inside the hat :p

It's just about the act of completing a task, not getting wings, so those with wings won't be at a disadvantage.
If the rules stay the same as the last comp, it will be limited to one TotM that can be counted for points in the comp though.

I think I should join in on Intermediate.

Context to let you know whether I'm in the right tier:

I average about one lucid dream per week when I'm not writing in my dream journal, and that might go up to 3-4 per week while I'm actively practicing.

Using the previous thread as an example, when I am lucid, all the basic tasks except flying and superspeed are pretty easy for me, but the only advanced tasks I'd be good at would be element manipulation (woo, fire vortex!), fully phasing through solid objects, and mass telekinesis. Basically, I'm good at everything that doesn't involve controlling my perception of the dream, or the environment around me.

If you need more folks in the advanced group, though, I'd be happy to challenge my abilities more!

Alright! Everyone get ready for the competition. I should be able to post the competition thread tomorrow morning (like 15 hours). I have a little formatting and teams to set up. that should give y'all enough time to get to know your team. Tasks are going to be very similar. Most changes are going to effect scoring and not how you actually decide what to do.

The biggest change is:
Unlimited personal tasks

So try and think of all the personal tasks that you want to do so you can compile them then. If your personal task is already a task (like fly or tK) then it won't count. It can involve another task (fly to the moon, tK a DC) though. It can even be a task that you have done before, but you get less points for it. For instance:
I want to:
Work with my menu in dream (old task)

And

Summon an object from my menu (new task)

I can work on my menu without summoning an object, but if i summon an object from menu, then i would get the points for a new task (only one personal task per dream)

If this is confusing, it is because i am just kinda throwing this post together as a quick example and food for thought. The como version will be more straight to the point.

I can't wait!!!!
This unlimited PT thing is great! I can choose a bunch of things i wanna do and try to get as much of them as i can. I need that motivation

Can I join the low group?

I average about 3 LD a month.

New Update
Sorry yall, gonna have to switch the beginning date to the 17th. I have most of everything done, but I have someone else doing the teams and looking over the comp thread to make sure that everything runs smooooooothly.

How many days is the competition?

It's been a hella long time since I've been on DV, and gotta admit I've gotten a bit rusty on my LDing skills. Regardless, sign me up for middle league; I know I can do it.

Btw thanks AnotherDreamer for hitting me up with a PM about this

Going to join the middle league, haven't had a lucid in a while but maybe this will push me to start doing it again.

Alright. I thought I should probably say:
I have about 7-14 lds a week (it varies quite a lot)

Tblanco and higat have been moved to middle league due to their LDs and frequency (and to help even out the teams)
If that is cool with you guys, then all the teams are set.

Sign ups are now closed.

Yeah I was wondering if I should switch

Time for a Lucid Par-tay!

Hey that's a great idea for a team / opponent task: throw a massive LD party with your teammates and invite the opposing side, as well -- dance the night away , performing awesome dream control displays for entertainment.

Oh, and Cooley, the competition lasts 2 weeks. 17th to the 31st.

Sign me up or the middle group, I get lucid once every week and a half\2 weeks or so
