As we are now into March, I thought I would open up the topic and see if we are all ready for a New Competition.. and what that will entail. 1* Do we want to go "traditional" DiD: Your character dies, you start completely over from scratch? 2* Do we want to "our Tradition" DiD: start from the Helgen Exit? 3* Do we want to Start from XXX point? 4* What kind of Competiton do we want, Mod's / No-Mods ( advantage/ disadvantage)? 5* Everyone on one "difficulty" or use a Multiplier? 6* Specific goal or quest-line or a treasure hunt ? 7* Which Quest-line? 8* What are we hunting? ( specific named items or general list of things)? 9* What are our rules for this round.. ? These are both simple questions and topic's for discussion.. we do not need to start in the next week or even two weeks.. But by Discussing it, we can get an idea what we want and give Richard time enough to get the topic thread up and going before the start date... ( though I think a separate chatter thread is a good idea!) Leave the main thread for updates / stats / rule questions. Kane feel free to turn those into pole questions if everyone wants.. along with some more if needed. I will be out of town today, Driving to New Mexico and back.. 12 hr rounder...<sigh> ICKY! |

My opinionsssssss 1. not this time 2. yes 3. that's fine also if a spefic goal or quest-line is done 4. I like my Mods 5. depends on the type of round 6. I like Treasure Hunter rounds.. but am game for anything 7. Main and Dragonborn ( or just Main) 8. Hey Easter's coming up.. baskets and eggs.. ( why not ) 9. depends on the round.. So those are my input at the very beginning.. I am sure it is subject to change was we get more into detail.I had serious fun with our "easter egg" hunt last year, but I am not sure everyone did. I also think it might be nice to have a "play along".. What I mean is if someone want's to play along, but either isn't used to Dead is Dead... or we decide to play on Legendary only.. and like me they never do, they can "play along", but their stat's and score do not count.. though they ( and I might be one of the 'they's' under those circumstances) can play with us, on their chosen difficulty, update stats and such, but they don't count towards "winning". |

Not sure if i'll be able to take part in the next one, have an interview to study for at end of April and i'm back on random shift patterns from 18th of this month, but I'll weigh in anyways 1* If "from scratch" would be post intro cut-scene (tower or keep entrance), then sure...otherwise, no 2* This works for me 3* Is XXX point at a certain level of experience? as in certain questline done? or is it alternate start? Alternate start works for me, other "pre-completed" aspects...less so. 4* I'm happy to have modded or unmodded (other than pretty mods, no content/alterations beyond aesthetic). Full modlists would need to be shared, as in previous competitions to avoid unfairness 5* Depends on round, setting us all to legendary on a melee only/no craft round is unnecessarily hard imo 6* Either one works, but I'd say specific quest-line with bonus points for certain items collected (e.g thieves guild and stones of barenziah or dawnguard and vamp dust) 7* I'm easy on this count 8* Depending on round, specific named items or generic items....as suggested baskets and eggs, vamp dust. stones/gems....or none of the above and straight questline round 9* I vote for additional rule of 1 standing stone only (player's choice). Prevents one from jumping back and forth between stones for specific benefits (exception being if you gain Aetherial Crown, then 1 extra) and means a little more thought to be put into the matter but otherwise round dependent |

1. Yeas. 2. Preferably not. 3. Big fan of using AS: LaL 4. Need ideas discussed. I like the mod advantage/disadvantage system. 5. Multiplier, please. 6. Need ideas discussed. 7. See above. 8. See above x2. 9. Depends on scope of round, methinks. |

Feels like it's been a while since we've done either Dawnguard or Dark Brotherhood. |

1* Yup. 2* It would depend on what type of round we'd do, I think. 3* Not sure if I understand this one... 4* The advantage/disadvantage thing has been working so far, so I suggest we keep it. 5* Multiplier, but it would have to be a tweaked, to fit the round. 6* It'd have to be discussed. 7* See #6. 8* See #6. x2. 9* See #6, times 3. |

Dawnguard is pretty fun, I'd be willing to do it. Maybe we could do that when easter comes around? Adding my own idea: Have we done a bounty hunting comp/mini-game? I feel like it'd be pretty fun. |

No we haven't don't a bounty hunting... mini or full. We haven't done Dawnguard in a while or I didn't anyway. |

I haven't played Skyrim in months, so I'm having a bit of weirdness even thinking about it. :D 1. What is "start from scratch" vs what is "whatever else"? 2. Good enough for me. 3. ? Clarification needed. 4. I like mods, and I think advantage system works fine. 5. Doesnt matter 6.I persoanlly prefer a straight-up questline with bonus points for specific items. 7.I think I like Dawnguard better than a bounty hunt... the reason is simply the low number of bounties and the comparative ease of some bounty-hunting compared to others. That is, depending on level the bounty is acquired, you might get a bandit or two, or you might get a dragon and a couple of giants. That makes for a kind of uneven field. 8. Depends on what 7. turns out to be 9. All rules must be posted using ultra-small font so that nobody could possibly read the rules in any case. Okay, actually rules should be the last thing decided on, because they have to change to meet the other parameters. (as explained in paragraph 17, line 5, subsection D of the DiD rule guide for competitiors vs rule guide for non-competitive players competing in competitive situations) Edited by neildarkstar, Mar 4 2018, 09:22 PM.

Start from scratch= C.C... cart ride and all, which I don't think anyone wants, but that IS the traditional way... not so much our tradition though. #3 alternate start...start |

Thanks Areial... I was really (on #3) wondering if it was indicating a start at a certain level or on entering a guild or some such. |

Yeah Michael's driving... I drove TO Carlsbad, from Stephenville thenCarlsbad to midland, he is driving the rest of the way home.... my eyes are tired. I can't text and drive... need glasses to type, but the distant world is fuzzy with them on.... plus it's dangeroud...and illegal here. Edit: I ended up driving from Gordon home... as he was tired and I had gotten an eye rest.. it is one hell of a long drive! 800+ miles in one day Edited by Areial, Mar 5 2018, 12:53 PM.

Wow, that's a LONG drive.... Jeez. I used to complain about Carlsbad to El Paso.... See.... I get that. I CANNOT sleep if I'm not driving. Serious. No way.... and I can't read while riding. Instant UGH. Best thing for me is just to drive. When I get to the point where I know I'm going to bomb, well - that's when I pull over and drop the seat back so I can sleep. With all the doors locked and the .25 loaded and ready.... Edited by Areial, Mar 5 2018, 12:52 PM.
