Spellbee2's Sweet '16 Competition Signups

**spellbee2** · 12-30-2015 05:25 AM

No, I'm not turning 16 years old. But it's ~~almost~~ 2016, and it's been a few months since our last lucid competition. So in keeping with Sensei's tradition, we're kicking off the new year right with a good ol'-fashioned lucid dreaming competition!

I'll be sticking with Sensei's format for the most part, so rules, leagues, and point systems will be mostly unchanged. If you've never been a part of one of Sensei's competitions (or need a refresher on how it works), check out the previous 3 competitions here, here, and here.

Current plan is to start the competition Sunday, January 10th, through Sunday, January 24th, but I'm open to suggestions if it presents a problem for enough people.

So post here with what league you'd like to join, as well as your lucid dream frequency (1/night, 1/week, 1/month, etc). I may ask you to move up or down a league if you might be over/under the rest of the league.

Thanks for hosting this spellbee2! I would like to join the Expert League. I average 1 LD per night.

**Ginsan** · 12-30-2015 07:29 AM

/me joins the intermediate league

I think I get lucid once every 3 nights on average.

**jarjar** · 12-31-2015 12:39 AM

I, Jarjar, accept your challenge. I'd like to join the beginner league. I started trying to LD again recently and have had one a night except for last night, but I don't know if I'll keep having them as often. Also I've only had 7 LDs to date, so I'd say I'm still pretty inexperienced at this.

**AstralMango** · 12-31-2015 04:43 AM

Okay, I think I'll try this out 'cause this sounds epic. I haven't had a proper, vivid lucid in a couple of years, but I had a very fuzzy lucid with no awareness last night. I wasn't "me." So now I'm inspired to enter the competition to get some good ones. Thanks for bringing these back, bee!

Beginner league please.

**justme13** · 12-31-2015 05:05 AM

I'll join the Intermediate League at 1 LD/week or more.

**MrPriority** · 12-31-2015 05:10 AM

sign me up on intermediate

I usually get 1 LD every 2-4 days in competitions, though it depends on how much time I end up having.

**patches** · 12-31-2015 05:12 AM

I guess I'll join the beginner league at 2 lucids/month?

I put you in beginner for now, but if you are still having that 1/night frequency by the time the competition rolls around, I think you might be better suited for Intermediate. Typically, Beginner is 2-3 lucids per month max, so you might be a little overequipped.

**Ctharlhie** · 12-31-2015 01:25 PM

I'm back on DV, and back into LDing, and I've found these competitions to be a really great incentive. I think it's good you're carrying on Sensei's tradition!

Could you sign me up for the intermediate league? I average about 4 nights of lucidity per week during competition time.

**Raipat** · 12-31-2015 03:06 PM

I repeatedly verifiably LD'd in sleep labs, but my frequency is not that high (~2 LDs per week currently without special efforts), so pls put me in the intermediate league. I use all kind of "cheats" (like ZEO EEG, tACS, light and sound cues, supplements, mental training, ...). Is it allowed to do that during competition?

**lunagoddess** · 12-31-2015 06:06 PM

I'd like to join the beginner team! I average about 1 LD/month.

Sure, supplements and aids are fine. This is as much a dream control competition as it is an induction competition, so you shouldn't be at an overwhelming advantage if you do use that stuff (as long as you're in the right league).

**NickSeagull** · 01-01-2016 02:15 AM

I'd like some beginner league please, and some peanuts with it!

**Shabby** · 01-02-2016 12:42 AM

I wanna join! Put me in the beginner league.

**EnvisionReality** · 01-02-2016 12:44 AM

I'm in!

Can you put me in the beginner bunch? I've had some flashes of lucidity but really going to work in it in 2016

**Gusto** · 01-02-2016 12:52 AM

Count me in the beginners

**coolcoolcool** · 01-02-2016 01:58 AM

I woud like to join the intermediate league

**PKJacker** · 01-02-2016 05:49 AM

Joining the intermediate, about 1 a week.

**OneUp** · 01-02-2016 08:40 AM

Throw me in the intermediate league bro. 1 a night, just really need to work on recall lmao.

**Ctharlhie** · 01-02-2016 12:10 PM

We need another expert leaguer so Dolphin isn't just competing against himself!

Hmm well... 4-5 times a week on average... it's not 1 a night, but it might be enough to keep up with Dolphin? So sign me up for expert and we'll see how badly I get thrashed eh?

**imazu** · 01-02-2016 07:47 PM

*screams with glee* Yayy!! This should help me avoid the spell of lucid apathy I feel starting to creep in.. Motivation!~ Thanks to all who're responsible for this! I s'pose I'll be in the intermediate league right now, 2-3LDs/week

**PercyLucid** · 01-02-2016 09:38 PM

Good luck with the competition. I will skip this one, being pretty busy!

**m4ra** · 01-03-2016 01:38 AM

Hey, this sounds pretty neat. I'd like to take a crack at it. I'm not too frequent yet, maybe one a month at best putting me firmly in the beginner league. Let's give it a go!
