Millionth member modding competition

[Dark0ne]

The Nexus sites are very close to hitting the million member milestone which is an exciting achievement for myself and the other staff here at the Nexus. We started accumulating members back in July of 2003 when Morrowind Source was launched and the site has been receiving a steady flow of new members each day since then.

 

The millionth member milestone is greatly coveted by me. As the owner of the site it makes me proud to see so many people registering to make use of the site's features and download modifications for some truely awesome games. But most of all the milestone is a trophy for the strong support of the modding communities behind Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3. Traffic figures on TESNexus have far surpassed those of March/April 2006 in recent months, which is amazing considering the game is now 3 years old. Similarly the Fallout 3 community continues to expand, develop and mature.

 

So how are we going to celebrate this monumental occasion? What better way than to get the creativity flowing and set an old school Oblivion and Fallout 3 modding competition for all to enter, complete with some prizes of the monetary nature straight out of the Nexus war kitty!

 

The theme for the competition revolves around that of the Oblivion and Fallout 3 community respectively. I want modifications that contain unique and innovative representations of members or locations within the community that have influenced your time within the community in a positive way. Perhaps you’d like to make a tavern on some well travelled road containing NPCs representing your favourite community members, or maybe a companion mod with a representation of Buddah wielding a mighty hammer of bannage + 5. Maybe, just maybe, even a quest mod to save your friends from the evil clutches of the worm like Dark0ne? The idea is to make something fun and interesting with the emphasis on including your community friends. It’s all about the community, folks!

 

For full details on what to do and how to enter go visit the competition page. Top prize for winners is a $125 Amazon.com voucher, with $75 prizes for runner-ups and $50 prizes for mods with the highest potential. The competition closes 50 days after the site hits the millionth member mark, so get your thinking caps on!

 

For those without the creative edge or time to create modifications for Oblivion or Fallout 3 you can always become a fan of Nexus sites on Facebook. All people who become fans up until the closing date of the competition will be entered in to a prize draw for a £30 Amazon.com voucher.

 

Further updates will come as the millionth member mark is reached. Happy modding.

lol nice idea :)

 

one question tho:

 

my COMM mod is stil expanding and features a bunch of community people yet, could i temporarily move it into the contest category somehow upon the soon to come new release, i dont wanna give it its own filepage just for a newer version? also, it does feature content which is by now included in many other mods and compilations even tho it was originally developed for this mod... could i still use it anyway or should i remove all permissions beforehand?

 

@skypappa

Lol, Joking of course.

 

Nice opportunity to pay homage to those that have inspired me. Better start brainstorming.

 

Thanks

@Jaysus - No worries Buddy. It's a small token of appreciation next to your massive contributions to mine and the rest of the communities enjoyment of the game.

Good Idea. Let's See Who wins... in about estimate 60+ Days?

 

EDIT: Dark0ne, Can I Enter the Competition? Im 14...

[Lord Slyther]

lol, this looks rather interesting! XD

 

I might not have time for making mods at the current, but I recall making videos, so I'll make a video of something maybe called "TES Nexus Adventures", or whatever I can come up with. I may not have any interest in a prize or anything, but it gave me an idea of something fun to do ;)

 

Best of luck whoever wins. Ah, good times...

My entree is going to be a modders resource. I didn't see anything in the rules that said we couldn't enter a resource. I will be representing the people who have been the most help to me and the modders I admire. My resource will be something everyone can use long after this contest is over but I'm a little worried that a resource can't be entered.

I am 14 year old :confused: ........anyway... prize or not I will make a mod :thumbsup: .

Dark0ne, I can enter the Competition without prize :unsure: ?

[bigkid7834]

Well what about if we have an already existing mod? Would that be cool to do as well? I mean what if some of us have a mod that we previously submitted up here but we think it should have a shot at winning this.

 

Also what about game play changing mods? What I got from the post was that it needed to be a sort of content addition mod. Like a new area or a new weapon of some sort.

[jaysus]

it should involve the community or parts of it... dunno how gameplay changes could reflect that but maybe you find a way

[bigkid7834]

Ah good point... Was just a little confused when I read it I guess. I don't really see how that could fit in correctly as well lol. Game play changes are just more my style. Not so much with the content things. Oh well.
