Rules:

- No Fortify/Restoration looping.

- No forbidden mods (That give the player an advantage) (Please PM me your mod list).

- No reloading previous saves even if character did not die (unless a glitch occurred) (PM me if your character died to a glitch. You should also describe the glitch the best way possible).
- No map based fast travel.

- Once in Helgen Keep, DiD rules apply.

- No follower/trainer exploit.
- Difficulty must be higher then Adept.
- You have to update at least once every 3 days.

- You must ALWAYS level up (meaning that you, once you receive a level, you must use the perk right away).

- You may restart your game (right after you leave Helgen Keep) or create another character after you die. (It goes like: Human, Zombie, Wraith, Ghost, Shade, Whisp [Every time you die, you can go down one difficulty level, the lowest being adept].)

- 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 may not 'skill spam'! Doing so will remove you automatically from the competition.

(More will be added after voting.)








The competition will end after 3 weeks (Or until everyone is done). You can only play for 40 hours!



Don't forget to vote!

If you have more ideas, please make a post about them!

(Also, tell me if I forgot something.)

Points

Points for each bandit: 10

Points for each bandit stronghold/fort/cave cleared: 100 (You'll have to, most likely, do the same ones over again, and, since they'll be riddled with bandits, they count as a 'new' fort/cave/stronghold cleared.)

Points for killing an innocent traveller: -100

(Silverhands and other factions alike it do NOT count as bandits, nor do they count as innocents, so killing them doesn't matter.)

(Hired thugs do not count as bandits as well, since they're mercenaries. They also don't count as innocent.)

Difficulty multiplier:

Legendary: 1.25

Master: 1

Expert: 0.75

Adept: 0.5

w00t! Excited for Round XIII!!

Addendum for the rules: One must not sit on their level ups, and cruise around at level one. That caused an issue in round XII...

Thanks! Will definitely add that one!

Edit: *Boom* Added, again, thanks for the suggestion!

Always happy to help!

Hi BA


Difficulty multipliers?

Step downs for restarters? ( unless its one life only play)


This is how we thrashed those rules for last time.....


Everyone starts as a "human" and your level of choice (in this case above adept)

Die once...you can restart as a zombie and must drop a difficulty level if possible

Die again..you can restart as a wraith and must drop another difficulty level if possible

Die again..you can restart as a ghost and must drop another difficulty level if possible


Thats as far as we an go with this Expert level bottom tier for this Round


But so you know....we intend to continue the drop down restarts normally by adding.....


Shade

Whisp


The idea is that a Legendary player at the begining, who keeps dying will after five deaths end up on novice play

This ties in nicely with the difficulty multipliers thus making it easier for those who have not coped well on high difficulties to keep on playing rather than having to sit it out.....but at the same time reducing the reward for getting an easier play through....


Difficulty multipliers....can be adjusted for each round if felt necessary


Legendary...1.75

Master..........1.50

Expert...........1.25

Adept............1.00

Apprentice.....0.75

Novice............0.50


Aerial was looking to write all of this into the basic framework of Round Rules so we would have no confusions.

With the caveat of course that anything can be adjusted by consensus vote.

The survivor in me dislikes the step downs. It is DiD, after all....

Ah, yes, I forgot about that restarting thing! Damn... Gonna add it now!

I feel like the difficulty multipliers are good. Should I edit them?

Edit: I know why I didn't have it added! This was a scrap post (that I had saved on my computer) I had long before the restarting thing appeared!

It's basically restarting the character from Helgen keep, so you won't have any progress done, really. After one dies, one must restart/create another character.

Kane...yep each to their own


But just so you know


In many rounds we had without that "system"


People who were knocked out by a 'silliness' and still really wanted to join in....had to sit it out in the watchers booth for weeks and gradually got disaffected....the step down system was devised to keep the keen (but unlucky) players enthusiastic about competitions.

Good point. I'd hate to be in that position. I can deal with it, lol.

BA.....Imo it is fine with your multipliers for THIS round.....clearly my longer list was for the "general rules"


Plus don't forget the "Rule" that a players HIGHEST score for the competition is the one that counts for ranking

Meaning a restarter may get a higher score with the longer lived lower difficulty char.....but they deserve it because they had to do so much more to bring their score up!


That should be a "General Rule" along with the step downs and multipliers ( unless we need a vote on it, but it suits most folk)

Ah yes, thanks again, Rick! I'll add it right away!

Edit: I keep forgetting to add things... *Sigh* Thank you guys for helping me out.

BA...minor technicality


Your multipliers cater for difficulties down to and including adept


But we can not use adept


Just need rationalising to avoid confusion

BA....You may wish to consider at you discretion.....


We started a rule for "ONE single allowable restart with NO penalty or drop down necessary for the under level tens"


personally.....I do not like it......but it would be unfair or biased if I did not raise it


Your call sir....or vote....or by mass hysteria / Riot

I'm a bit slow today (well, everyday, really), so can you explain what you mean?

Nah, I think that, if you die, you should restart no matter what.

Adept is the lowest drop-down difficulty.
