So as we lost the other thread and I don't remember everything, I am going to copy/ Paste my original Idea and we can go from their...again

Sah also had some idea's, so if she remember's what they all were then post them.. we can look at those their.

* Pick pocket key's or named item's for points

* Place Toy's or other item's with kids ( for the fun of it)..pictures

* point's for TG of course... but I think also bonus point's for getting "Thief" skill's to 100...

* do a "pick your Skill's" ( craft ) ** Speech, Lockpick & Sneak** as "freebies...
- add 5 more Skill's or craft's..player's choice...anything else get's penalty points

** Allow the addition of mod's that add in item's...with the understanding that these can be stolen, re-homed but NOT sold.. so if your little thief want's to give Teddy Bear's from "Toy Story" to all the kid's..you can.... Same with a Mod like Unique Treasure's... you can filch it...re-home it, but not SELL it.. Merry Snowberry.. you can decorate...re-home the candy canes...but not sell them.
- the only reason I say this is so that people can use the same character for the "12 days contest" and not have to restart.. they can steal to their hear's content all the "unique" Item's..just can't sell them.

I know Sah had suggested:
* Replacing any stolen item with a sweet roll
* having a more restricted style of play
* a Present dump in the Riften Orphanage.

I know I had suggested finishing up this round by the 31st of Dec, that way we can hash out the next round and get it run in January... this is a "fun round"..

I believe Sah had suggested adept only and no crafting?

I don't think this is going to get much traction. :( Might be best to just stick to the funsies games.

Ditto. I s'pose it will give us time to dream up ideas for future rounds, though.

True that... if Unique Treasures or another mod like that port's over, I'd love to do a treasure hunter.. or scavenger hunt type round... But that would have to be when everyone ( that is playing) can have the mod.

Which will lead into Neil's idea of using mod's to make the game even harder.... which is fine.

I'd love to see a round set at Adept or Expert...with Deadly Dragons and Immersive creatures ( with Enhanced Enemies)... I'm not sure of the premise...but be fun... everyone on the same exact "game", only pick your own play-style... ( 5 to 6 skills or crafts) with sneak, speech & lock-pick as freebies.

That would be fun. Still waiting on IC and DD for SSE, though. (Unless I missed them.)


Went a little overboard with acronyms in that sentence. :D

They may make it...but not sure about consoles.. D.D. maybe, not sure if the different types of creatures and increased spawn would be ok for console... plus scripting...I think SKSE has to come out first... not sure.

Yeah, I think I mentioned that I'm going to take a break from the competitions for a while. I'm playing my Vigilant now (I should probably enter her in the DiD forum, since she's DiD.)

Honestly, I'm not certain how interested I am either. the fact is that when we ran the very first competition, I don't think anybody really was expecting that it would be a constant and ongoing event. I know I wasn't. I had thought well, a one-time thing, or maybe once a year of something. A constant event is far less enticing.

For one thing, it doesn't really leave anytime to just play for some of us. Myself, I have problems returning to a character if I break off and go do something else for two or three weeks... I can't remember what my plans were, or where I am in completing those plans, you know?

...and then there's the thing with mods. That's a long subject in itself, but it boils down to if I wanted to play Skyrim without mods, I wouldn't have bothered installing any in the first place, eh?

While most of those complaints taken singly don't amount to much, taken altogether they constitute something that requires Preparation H...

Actually I've been thinking about that.

IMO...if we give it a break for this month ( December) and plan out a contest in Jan or even Feb .. set the "sign up" for a week or so before the game begins. That way we know who's going to be playing.. rules can be looked over.. talked about and changed or tweaked if need be.

You know that's one of the reason's I planned out the "Christmas" games the way I did, with the thought that most people could use the characters they have. Specially the "Run", on foot, level and skills matter, cause some thing's can't be out-run.....on horse speed matters more.

I'm going to put up the 12 days shortly... ( yeah I know...we'll see)

I just don't have the time. ><

Moving.

And depending on when the January round starts, I might miss that too. I leave the 10th and it may take me that whole first week to get set up.
