The competition has begun!

You have forty hours or three weeks. Deadline is April 14th.



----------------------------------------------



Fill out the competition entry form below with your info, and post it to join us!

Example:
(Player Name)
(Character Name)
(Race)
(Gender)
(Difficulty)




----------------------------------------------



General Rules

- Starting point is from no later than the first tower (with Ulfric and company).
- Mods are allowed, see below.
- No reloading previous saves, even if character did not die (unless a glitch occurred).
- No map based fast travel. Boats and carriages are allowed.
- Once in Helgen Keep, DiD rules apply.
- Update at least once every 3 days (if possible).
- You may restart your game (restarting/starting point is from no later than the first tower [with Ulfric and company]) or create another character after you die. (Various forms are: Human, Zombie, Wraith, Ghost, Shade, Whisp [Every time you die, you must drop down at least one difficulty level, if possible.])
- You must level up upon attaining a level, at the first safe opportunity (cannot do it in combat). You need not assign perks immediately.
- The player highest score is the only one that counts for the round, meaning someone that has become a Wraith may win over a Human, if their score is high enough.
- You cannot make skills legendary.
- Quest companions like Serana and Barbas have to be taken directly to their quest destination, with minimal side trips.
- No exploits. See list below for the common exploits. Ask if you are unsure about one that you've found. In the event of disagreement, a majority of the players enrolled in the round will decide.
- Be honorable and don't cheat. We do this for fun!



----------------------------------------------


Forbidden exploit list:

- Fortify/Restoration looping
- Follower/Trainer exploit
- Training against helpless or harmless opponents (training block against low-level opponents [like mudcrabs or wolves], sniping at self-healing trolls from a safe location, sneaking behind NPCs just to raise Sneak, etc.)
- Spamming of skills in no-risk situations, just to raise them (Muffle, Clairvoyance, etc.)



----------------------------------------------

Edit: finished the +/- +12/ -12..

I took Divine Elegance out of my Load order.. even when crafted the armor I liked for Lucien has an Over Powered enchantment on it....other wise it would have been fine.

I'll take a look at the mod. Might just go without it, since I am playing a couple of concurrent other characters, and I've been having a problem switching mods in and out with NMM.

I went ahead and added the Easter Egg mod. You only live once...or nine times if you're a cat... ;)

Created E. "WW" Fudd. He's a big ugly one, even for an orc. Looks like the type who'd kill bunnies, just because. :flame:

He's impatiently waiting with Ulfric in the tower.

Fudd can't hear you, over the sound of the screaming bunnies. :D

I'll keep a running tally of "bunnies killed" for you! :flame:

Yes they are...and if your not used to DiD, I'd find a good one...

My suggestions...Belrand or Marcurio ...as they complement a tank well... that's just me though.

The last thing Fudd wemembered was chasing the big wabbit with the basket. Or maybe that was part of the dream too. Fudd woke up in a wagon, with his hands tied, and two annoying Nords -- a Stormcloak and a Wobber -- talking at him. Fudd's head hurt, and he was confused. Then there was a lot of lining up, head-chopping, shouting, and wunning.

The dwagon pwobably saved Fudd's life. He escaped with the help of the Stormcloak. On the way out of the keep, he found four pwetty eggs, and he packed them up cawefully. He also found wabbit meat. Fudd liked to eat wabbit meat, and he liked to collect eggs. When Fudd was a small boy, he was given a whole basket of eggs every Wain's Hand. It was a twadition of his stwonghold. He also found Imperial Awmor and two iwon maces.

After escaping fwom Helgen, Fudd went with Walof, the Stormcloak, to Wiverwood. He got help from Walof's sister, and the local Smith showed him the basics of making weapons and awmor. He learned fast, because he had watched his mother at her fowge, many years ago. Smithing was women's work, but Fudd had enough talent that he might someday learn to work the fowge almost as well.

Fudd tempered his two iwon maces, and he set out to hunt bunnies and find more eggs.

Kane... Unique item's from Mods... ( not egg's ) you didn't put a different point in for them.. I only ask cause I ran across my 1st from a mod... and while I'll still collect them, I won't count them... OR I'll count them separate..

Some of the items will be "easy" to get, errr relatively.. cause stolen.. and no sneak.. but for instance...This item is in Jarl Balgruff's kitchen. easy to look around, see no one.. snatch... This pretty lil guy is in Lucan's store.. and without sneak.. not so easy...

Jus' wandering....

<mumbles> need a house.. yep.. but the wardwrobe in Gurder's house will have to do for now.. heavy azz'd ax...

Edit: for some pictures... and a redo, kinda. Dog's unplugged my PC, before I could get back to Gurder's house with his latest loot.. meaning he doesn't have the Ax.. going to go after that again...

Brelynn lvl 9 and she is doing well. ME on the other hand...I think I found one item but probably have a couple thousand points to the negative. I was focusing on staying alive (duh!) but mostly playing as I usually do (headslap). Skill books I always just click on, hell most of them I don't remember what they even do! So I'm sneaking along, raising my sneak, clicking on books that raise skills that aren't on the allowed list. Hey I need some gold so go to Halted Stream, get the transmute and make some jewelry. Oh, I just raised my Alt skill. Hmmm, probably not doing this correctly!

I don't want to hijack this thread to be a handholding session, but I do have questions that will be obvious to you but I just want to make sure about.

Skill books: know the books and only activate those that are allowed.
Any skill in a tree not listed is verboten. In this case no Transmute, no Clairvoyance, no Destro except for CoW test, etc
No enchanting at all? What are we doing, making it challenging and so I have to think? Yeah, that is the point....

I think I have answered my own questions, but if someone would confirm that would be great, and tonight I'll work on getting Brelynn back on track :cheers:
