Thread: Sensei's Sexy Competition

The competition begins on Monday, August 17th, at 8 PM YOUR time (wherever you are.)
The competition will end on Monday, August 31st, at 8 PM.

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 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 count
• Don't abuse the point system. Each competition, we try to add new rules to prevent this from happening. This time, we're making a general "no spamming" rule. 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 Sensei or Dreamer 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!

DreamViews Extra Tasks

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 (August 2015) - 15 points/task

• Task of the Year (2015) - 20 points/task


Challenge Tasks

There will be one Challenge Task each week.
Beginner League can complete these tasks at any time during the competition; Intermediate and Advanced Leagues must complete them 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.

Intermediate League: Make an inanimate object move by itself.

Advanced Leauge: Completely bring to life an inanimate object, and ask it what its life's purpose is.


Three-Step Tasks

Choose 3 different Dream Control Tasks from the list above, excluding RC/Stabilization.

Beginner League: Pick any of the Dream Control Tasks

Intermediate League: Last task must be an Advanced Dream Control Task

Advanced League: All 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

NEW: 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)

• Meet another teammate in the same dream/chain - 3 points (once per dream/chain)

• 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)

• Meet another enemy in the same dream/chain - 3 points (once per dream/chain)

• 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.
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.)

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

Add these up for yourself as you go. If you don't understand, I can walk you through it.

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!
