I voted. I missed the first three rounds because I was kinda busy with other stuff, but I plan on participating in the next round. I don't really care what mods people want to use. As far as I am concerned its just a fun competition anyway and the whole thing is honor system, so I am fine with each player making their own determinations about what mods are honorable to use, with Mr. BA making the final call by reviewing load orders for modded entrants.

I have a PC, but will probably play on my Xbox for these competitions simply because I do not want to bother with multiple installs and don't want to tear my Requiem based load order apart for the competition.

I'd rather not see separate competitions for vanilla vs modded, because it would probably just be me and Rick in the vanilla competition. He won the first three anyway and as long as I don't screw anything up with my assault on the Thalmor Embassy (scheduled for either tonight or tomorrow night), it looks like I may have a good chance of winning Round four. That would be four rounds to Xbox players and zero to PC players, so I don't see any issue with PC players making things too easy for themselves.

If there were dozens of people wanting in on this competition, then I could see having separate competitions for vanilla vs modded, but with just a few people participating, having a single competition makes more sense to me.

Voted

Went for warrior but I'd vote stealth if we're talking the competition after this one.

Not super bothered about followers. Not a choice but I wouldn't care if it was two humanoid followers max. Makes those quest forced followers less awkward.

Too few people for separate competitions, I think.

I voted expert but if master wins I'd still join. I just wouldn't last very long. Maybe 5 minutes out of Helgen. :P

Voted.......

Stealth....for the next round, I'll give it a go!
Followers.......well I guess you know that one ;)
Joint competition.......oh most definitely!
Master........bring it on!

I won't be using a character for this round. I'm going in to take care of things personally ( Sorry Ulda, next time honey).

Voted. I've been lurking in the DiD threads for a while. I just started a non competition DiD character to try it out with the current rules (I've never used followers, so no issue there). looking forward to giving it a go! I'm for the stealth option for the upcoming DID. I'm with the majority on joint competition. And Master difficulty seems right. :D

For those wondering, I voted: 2 (stealth) | --> 2 (1 follower) | --> 2 (No separate competition) | --> 1(master)

Also, when I'm preparing to shoot a bow, my stamina starts to dissipate due to PerMa so there's that challenge...

Thanks for voting! Don't worry about missing the other 3 rounds, they were nothing like these ones.

You can go ahead and play Skyrim on pc, you just need to send me your mod load order :)

Well, thanks for making it easy for me :happy:

Thanks for voting! Master is relatively easy once you get used to it.

Thanks for making it easy for me :D

Thanks for voting! (Sorry if I made you angry/upset with my inadequate (?) use of words).

We voted on the same things it seems :)

I wonder who's gonna be...

Thanks for voting!

Good luck with your new DiD character, I hope he/she doesn't die too soon!

What defines the warrior archetype for this coming round? I'm thinking maybe a heavy armor battle archer kind of character that isn't much for sneaking. I'm not sure if the bow as a primary weapon would be an issue, though.

@Akylas I want to see which one gains more support until day 29. Then I'll edit the poll and have you guys decide which type of Warrior/Sneaking character you'll want.

Wuhhlll Alrighty then, pilgrims... I put in my vote.

I voted for joint competitions, because really, there just aren't enough players to split them. I'm still advocating my handicap system, so you can expect to hear from me regarding that on a regular basis. I think it's really the best and most fair solution. Speaking of fair...

I don't believe the discussion between Rick and I was as desperate as some people seemed to think. I don't know Rick's age, but I suspect we're both crankity older dudes, who argue every cause with vigor. I can assure you that we will no doubt have further disagreements as time goes, but speaking for myself only, it should not be taken as a "throat tearing" situation... In person, I tend to be a bit volatile... (I once set a guy's pants on fire because he wouldn't listen to what I was telling him.) but with the calming influence internet separation, it's all quite safe. ...and I don't hold a grudge. unless you mess with my bike. :D

Ya know the internets a funny thing.....you can say a lot of words, but it don't always help ya communicate. There's no tone, no body language. No nudge and a wink, cept' this one ;)

LMAO I almost died to a mudcrab! I even think I heard M'aiq in the distance talking about how he'd seen a mudcrab the other day. Horrible creatures!!! I totally agree. :D

BA.....I presume this means for round 6

This round about to start on Aug 8 is round 5 and is already set to be definitely Warrior.....yes? Just to be clear on that! Otherwise I'll need to revote.

I voted Stealth,

No problem whatsoever,

No,

and Expert (because I'm a wimp.)

But I'll go along with whatever, because my character won't live long anyway. :)

Same exact Mod list as before, MrBA.

Heh, well... you argue like you're about 80... (you might think of it as a compliment) and I wont hold youth against you. ...And, since you proved yourself under fire, I won't cut ya no slack, either. 'Course I expect a kinda "quid pro quo" 'cuz I think I do pretty well for a dead guy.

We decided way at the first competition not to do Legendary because too many people (Including me) don't want to play on legendary because we hate getting beat up and one-shot killed by skeever, mud crabs, barmaids, and Braithe...

I’ll get a late start on this round, but that shouldn’t be a problem since I’ll likely have an early finish. :P

I voted Warrior, one follower, no, Expert difficulty. Expert is plenty of challenge for me with no Smithing.

This one's name is Sah :cool:

This one worked for
THE MOD CORPORATION......the largest and most powerful commercial entity in the world.

This one was head of security at a secret high-tech facility called the HARD-DRIVE......a giant underground laboratory developing experimental, mods

There was an incident. A mod escaped. A lot of people died. The trouble was, they didn't stay dead.

The computer that controlled the HARD-DRIVE was a state-of-the-art......artificial intelligence: THE RED LOOT
THE RED LOOT responded to the threat of the mod outbreak in an extreme way. He went homicidal.

"You're all going to die down here"

THE RED LOOT attempted to kill everyone whether they were infected or not. This one managed to escape, but this was only the beginning. mod outbreaks spread like wildfire...first across the Skyrim, then the world.

The mods didn't just bring the dead back to life.
It mutated them in terrifying ways. Despite the apocalypse they had created......THE MOD CORPORATION continued to experiment with the deadly mods.

This one was infected. But the mod bonded with this one on a cellular level. This one developed powers. This one became different. Powerful. Unstoppable. As this one got stronger, the human race became weaker. This one tried her best to lead what survivors she could find to safety......but we were pursued relentlessly. Even this one's friend Serana was seized and brainwashed by the THE MOD CORPORATION........svck to kill.
Finally, this one is here to confront the head of the THE MOD CORPORATION. Albert Wesker.

will put her self on pause till the 8th........ :cold:

Voted, I've been lurking in the past threads and it looks like fun so why not? :smile: Still have my 360 copy, so I'll be using that to make things easier on both ends.
