Ok everyone, here we go, the competition begins at 12:00 P.M EST (little over an hour from the time of this post), all you have to do is post in here your characters name, gender, and race so I can update this post and include them. This competition will run until 6/7/15 12:00 A.M EST.

The rules are simple, each person's stats either at death or by 6/7 will be calculated using a scoring system that I will soon post here, and it will determine who has won the competition. Being DiD, once your character dies (if they die) you must post your characters stats at death, meaning game stats, such as main quests completed, side quests completed, level, etc. We will all be playing on expert difficulty, and as I'm sure you all know by now any mod that does change the game in a significant way, give an advantage to the player, or give them an ability previously impossible is banned. All other mods that don't follow into that category are allowed.

Players must join the competition by 5/27, no later entries are allowed.

We are a group of travelers who were making our way through Cyrodil together, all of us wanting to seek fame and fortune in our lives and make a name for ourselves, it wasn't long before we were surrounded by Imperials, during this time of war in Skyrim they were very concerned to see such a diverse and large group of travelers together like this, and thought it quite suspicious. We were all taken in separate carts, the reason for this is unknown, it wasn't very clear where they were going to take us, but considering we are riding with stormcloaks in an imperial wagon, things weren't looking good...

To go over the rules, here they are :

- No Fortify/Restoration looping

- No forbidden mods

- Expert difficulty

- No reloading previous saves even if character did not die (unless a glitch occurred)

- No map based fast travel (carriages ok)

- Once in Helgen Keep, DiD rules apply

- No follower/trainer exploit

- No Enchanting (Found and bought enchanted items are ok)

- Must check in every 3 days

We added a few new rules in since last time so make sure you read over each one before you begin your character

WOOOOOOO! Here we go!

Name: Gives-No-F--ks

Gender: Male

Race: Argonian

GNF, as we shall call him, was entering Skyrim from the south with a bunch of other adventurers who had randomly decided to let him tag along. Things were going well until they got caught up in a Stormcloak ambush, gathered up en masse and hauled off in Imperial Legion carts along with the Stormcloaks, Ulfric himself and some horse thief they'd grabbed. GNF ended up separated from the others and forced to watch the horse thief shot down as he tried to flee. Then after one of the Stormcloaks was separated from his own body, a dirty great big dragon crashed the party. Aided by one of the friendlier Imperial soldiers, GNF made good his escape.

Alright I'll add you , strange name btw....

Try to hold off playing until the competition starts an hour from now though.

SonOfSithis
Thognor The Red
Nord
Male

Thognor was born as a set of triplets, all named Thognor. There was Thognor The Black, Thognor The Gold and Thognor The Red. They were named after their hair colors. They were all born in Skyrim and Red left whended he turned 18 and headed for Cyrodiil. His brothers both joined t h e rebellion and were killed in battle. Red returned home but was captured by the imperials.

Ah nice backstory SoS, I like it, I'll go ahead and add you in

Same deal as last time btw guys, I will try to check in frequently, and add anybody that wants to join, I will not always post confirming the OP update, but you can just check and see if you are in it and if I am being late on it be sure and PM me so I can act swiftly

Added a little story backdrop in the OP by the way, if you have any concerns or suggestions feel free to PM, I like to hear all constructive criticism as I want to improve the comp anyway that I can.

Quick question, I know there is no enchanting, but we can use enchanted gear we find or buy, correct?

I thought it was perfect for a DiD Argonian, only I couldn't type it out in full because of the forum's word censor.

edit: you misspelled my username, go fix it, chop chop

edit 2: you should probably change the name to "Gives-No-F--ks" so people know what GNF means

Sirrockyqo

Sirius

Redguard (My first)

Male

Sirius was raised in the Imperial City after the Great War. He had stolen magic tomes and taught himself magic I guess and trained to be an adventurer too with weapons and armor he bought from a travelling merchant. But he wanted a proper edumahcakin and decided to take off to the College of Winterhold. Crossing the border, he got caught! Damn Stormcloaks ruined his travelling.

Yes as long as you found it not due to a mod, but yes just no player enchanting.

@Llama well if you are going to refer to your character as GNF, I figured might as well put that into the character name, I can change it if you really want, I didn't really want to put in censored names in though.

Alright, nice to see someone showing the Redguard race some use, I'll update the OP Sirrock.

I also have a quick question... by "- No follower/trainer exploit" You are talking about using a follower for training and then taking the money back? I mean, you're not saying we can't get training, are you?

neildarkstar

Lilelle (That's Lil' Elle to her momma... and no, you ain't her momma!)

Dunmer

Female

Yes I am referring to the whole getting your money back exploit, nothing wrong with the training lol.

added, glad to see you back Neil, hope your game runs stable!

I hate this stupid forum making me sign in on my phone every time I want to post.

Anyways, rant over. Also wanted to add, no use of the console commands. Didn't see that one on t he list.

I would think that might deserve a little clarification and discussion, depending. That hasn't been mentioned that I know of at all. Here's my take on it. Any console command that results in a cheat (c'mon, we all know what's a cheat and what's not) should not be allowed. However, sometimes TCL is necessary to get out of a graphics glitch, and I often use tfc simply to get a screen shot that otherwise is not possible. I see no cheat in me viewing my character from the front while running.

I think we would do well to remember that this whole competition is based on personal honor, and the fact is that I know giving myself a million gold or fighting in God Mode would be a cheat. The thing is that if I was going to cheat in such a grand fashion, a rule wouldn't stop me, eh?

Rafer Darksun
Kalmir
Nord Male

Descended from the Skaal, Kalmir was on his way to Windhelm when hype caravan he was traveling with was ambushed. He was taken to Helgen. In the confusion he lost track of his fellow travelers.

Ulda my love, I am indebted to you once again for answering my call.

We must entwine in common purpose for our task before us is great
And our adversaries numerous.
Come now for we have much to do........

Alright adding you both to the comp, welcome!

(By the way it started 2 hours ago for anyone who did not know)

And yes neil is right, I didn't get strict with console commands but use your common sense and judgement with it, if its smells like a cheat, looks like a cheat, etc.
