You don’t remember how you became lucid, but you are now. You are standing on a dirt path twisting through a pleasant landscape and leading straight to a quaint village. You follow the path, keeping your eyes fixed on the different buildings in the approaching town when a strange old man sitting under a tree gets your attention. “Hey… hey, traveler…”, his odd voice calls out to you. He wears a dark hood, covering his long dirty gray hair. He has long and sharp-looking finger nails which he constantly rubs against each other idly. He wears clean, formal looking shoes which look brand new. His eyes either twinkle with deep wisdom or pure madness-- you’re not sure exactly which. “My, my… You seem to be going on… an adventure…” You back away slowly but he gets up and approaches you. “Do not fear me, traveler, for I am just here to play a little game. I mean you no harm… I am unarmed, don’t you see?” He raises his arms slowly and smiles coldly at you. While he does appear unarmed, you’re not sure if you can trust him fully yet. “Traveler… as you probably know, adventures are full of gambles, risks, and sacrifice… In any Quest as grand as the one you appear to be partaking in, you will eventually have to choose between risking something important in order to reap rewards, or playing it safe without taking great loss…” He smiles eerily as he reaches for something in his bag… you take caution and start to slowly back away as he pulls out a scroll. “If you take this scroll… it may alter your destiny forever…” he whispers. He pauses dramatically for a moment before opening the scroll… “So why don’t you step right up and gamble a little bit right now, with The Lucid Bingo Extravaganza!™”
Oh boy, it’s Extended Task time!
That’s right, it’s time for a super fun Extended Task! Woo! For you new participants out there (or those who have never been in one of Thorn’s LCs ), the extended task is a fun task which requires multiple dreams to fully complete! And we’re going to be playing some good old American Bingo! For those of you who don’t know how to play, it’s easy. In normal bingo, you receive a 5x5 card filled with random numbers. Random numbers get picked by a caller, and if you get that number, you mark it on your card! If you manage to make a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of 5 marks, you win! And that is Bingo as she is played.
For this extended task, we’re going to be playing bingo! Not normal bingo obviously. There are going to be no random numbers… instead, you’ll be getting a randomly generated bingo sheet filled with tasks! Once you complete a bingo task, a mark will be placed on your sheet. Form a line of 5 marks, and you’ll get 30 points! If you completely fill the sheet, you’ll form 12 lines for a chance at 360 points! That sounds amazing… right? Well, in order to participate in this amazing offer, you’ll have to give up 60 points! You’ll probably want to see one of these Bingo sheets for yourself before making the decisision, right? …Well, TOO BAD! You’ll have to decide for yourself whether you want to risk 60 points on this. You’ll have to decide whether you’re confident in your abilities and how much you value your own points. You have 48 hours after this task is posted (Sunday, January 18th at 09:00 GMT-7) to confirm whether or not you want to participate in this extended task. After that time, all bingo cards will be generated and be viewable on the stats and scores page.
If you have less than 60 points, you can still participate, but you’ll have a negative number of points. The score pages cap the displayed points at zero, but you’ll still technically have a negative point value.
Anyway, just notify me that you want to participate before the time is up to have some fun!
