Hey guys,
I have a suggestion for a new game/challenge after our moon challenge ends. A game of capture the flag played within our lucid dreams.
The concept is simple: To start with, somebody needs to place a flag somewhere within their lucid dreams. It could be anywhere, somewhere in deep space, underwater, on top of a mountain, underground, on a famous landmark, you decide. Once somebody has placed the flag, the rest of us have to try and get to that place in our lucid dreams, reclaim the flag, and then place it somewhere else.
This would then repeat every time somebody else manages to capture the flag. I think this could be a great continuous game that we can play, encouraging us to explore places we'd never previously consider going to, and maybe even learn a thing or two about those places in the process of planning our journey there!
We'd make a new forum post once we start the game (as this one is mainly for discussing the concept of it), and keep continually updating it whenever somebody captures the flag.
Daniel said he'll include this in the moon challenge follow-up video as long as you guys like the idea. So what do you think? Any questions or suggestions for how we can improve the game?
Edit 1: We have to decide what to do if two people capture the flag on the same night. I think we could go based on time with people estimating the time they had the dream, or maybe the first person to report it in the forum. Or we could just say they both have the flag and the next person to plant it out of those two is the next location we'll use. With regards to the delay between capturing the flag and planting it in another location (as I expect it will be difficult to do this within the same dream/night) we could have a time limit, say a week or two, and if the flag-bearer doesn't place their flag within that time the flag becomes free for anyone to place in their next lucid dream to reset the location (but they'd still get the point for capturing the flag).
Great idea! I would love to join a LD capture the flag 😊!
Yeah cool idea, I just see a problem there : what happens if during the same night, two people catch the same flag and bring it to two different places ? It would get complicated to keep track of the flag... Maybe if it happens, we could ask the community which location they prefer to continue with and then "remove" the other flag because if we keep every flag, it will get messy to record successes.
There are ways around this, maybe whoever captures the flag first based on their estimate of what time it was, or maybe the first person to report it in the forum.
Either way, I can't see it being a major problem as there will likely be a few days in between capturing the flag and placing it elsewhere, so we can just base it on the first person to place the next flag.
Grat Idea, Hope it becomes a thing.
This will be a perfect follow-up to the moon challenge! :)
I'd love to part-take in that, it sounds really fun!
