Thread: Spellbee's Summer(-ish) Competition 2017 Signups

Our lucids will blot out the sun! Oh wait, the moon already did that? My bad.

It's competition time once again (a few months late, but I won't tell anyone if you won't). If you've never been part of one of my competitions, check out my previous comps here, here, here, here, here, and/or here to see how it works.

So this time around, I'm not going to post a poll, since every time I do the first option gets picked. So instead, I'll just say that this competition will start September 1. Which means that signups will be until August 30th, at 11:59pm Eastern Time.

If you are interested in joining, reply to this post with the following:
- What league you would like to join
- Your average rate of lucidity
- Your best guess as to your availability during the competition, on a scale of 1-5 (1 - incredibly busy, 5 - completely free)

The rates listed by the leagues are suggestions, but if you're feeling bold, feel free to try a higher league.

NOTE: Being inactive for more than 7 days of the competition (unless some kind of notice is given) will cause you to be suspended from joining the following competition. Please don't join unless you are reasonably certain your can contribute for the entire 2 weeks.

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

I'm putting myself in the Beginner League again, since I'm still not quite back to where I was a year or so ago (right now I'm 1 lucid every 2+ weeks). Availability will be like 2 once the comp starts, but then back up to 4 for the second week.

i am pretty bad at LD this year... no motivation and 3 times a week waking up way too early...

BUT i still would like to join, maybe it can motivate me again...

i will join intermediate and my availability maybe around 3?

I would like to join the expert league. I've been averaging 5-9 LDs/week. My availability is 4.

Hmmm... Well, this seems like perfect timing. Some modified induction techniques I've used as of lately have been showing promise, so this'll be a great opportunity to put it to the test.

Sign me up for intermediate. Availability 2.5 - 3.5 pending.

I will stick with the good old intermediate leauge. Not too frustrating there but hard enough to give myself a kick. My availability should be around 4-5 this time.

The stress is always greener: Hundreds of thousands of stressors, will I have a place to live or will I drop 100k down on this place I'm in? Will I be called to an interview or even start new 6-figure job on Sept 1st, who knows?

As a possible homeless / possible homeowner, possible reject / possible stressee, I will wait until the last second to decide whether to play

I'm in for beginners, lucidity rate is not great at the moment @ 1 a month, but competion will of course be great for motivation :-)
availability 2 ish.

Plop me in intermediate as always. Lucidity rates been a little low this summer (bout 1 every 2 weeks) but I haven't exactly been prioritizing ld practice like I should have. I'll start getting in lucid shape now, and should be good to go by comp kickoff.

Availability is a 3. My classes start on the 6th and I don't know how busy I'll be TBH.

At last! I've been developing consistent induction strategies and will be ready, set, GO! for the competition this time. I'm anticipating an availability of 4.5.

LDs per month: 17.2 (last 6 months, up through July)
Improved greatly since the previous comp. Last time, it was at 12.2/month, and the one before that was at 10.7/month.

In conclusion...
Expert League or Bust.

I'm in, beginner this time around since availability is around 2.5

Count me in! Beginner League; frequency: 2LDs/month; avaibility: 3.

Competition already starts in a week?! How fast the time is running....

when exactly ends the competition?

Could definitely use some lucid inspiration!

Been lingering at around 1.25/week so still intermediate. Availability's at 2.5?

Count me in. Lucid rate of about 2 per week, beginner league, 5 availability, I have a lot of free time. I'm trying SSILD right now and intend to keep trying for a month. 6 days so far, got two lucids on night 4, I'm hoping to get that rate up during the competition.

I'll decide soon If I am in, in the mean time looks like not many signing up, go recruit some beginners

Soon I may be ready for intermediate, what with me after 6 year finally having had my first fully intentional and smooth WILD.
But until I learned how to reproduce that at least semi-regularly I'll still sign up for beginner.

Availability... 3-4. Not sure yet.

Ok I'll be in as Intermediate 3 Lucid in the last 2 weeks, but still about 1/wk average overall (more in contests tho )

11 contestants, looks like it's going to be a small comp lol. I haven't had the change and time to send invites this time around

Intermediate, availability 3 or 2.5. I'm not sure but I'll try to put in effort.^^

Gonna be too busy to post it tomorrow, so I went ahead and posted the competition thread here: http://www.dreamviews.com/lucid-chal...ml#post2218920

You can still post here if you want to sign up. If it's before Friday, I'll add you immediately - any later and I'll add you for week 2.
