Dark0ne Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 A couple of weeks back the Nexus sites silently recorded their 2 millionth registered member which is a great achievement. As dictated at the last registration milestone, the millionth member, I decided the next milestone would be 2.5 million members, and 5 million members after that, and we're slowly creeping up on that figure day-by-day. Each milestone is greatly coveted by me. The milestones are a trophy for the strong support of the modding communities behind the Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Dragon Age series and indeed the success of the Nexus sites within these communities. Just like the previous milestone I am going to hold a modding competition to celebrate the occasion and hand out some nice prizes to the winners. Hopefully these competitions will become tradition for those users who stick around with us long enough to see each milestone. The theme The theme for the competition is not going to change from the last and revolves around that of the community we are in. I'm hoping to see some great mods that cover users in the community that might have influenced you during your time here, the various sites of the community that you are a part of (it doesn't just have to be the Nexus!) and what you like about the community. The type of mod you make, be it a quest, a new landmass, a house or castle, NPCs, weapons, armour, etc. is totally up to you but I will look more favourably upon entries that have a quest in them because I'm a sucker for a good quest! That doesn't mean a mod with a quest in is going to win, however, and if you come up with something really unique then I'll probably love it! A Nexus defence mod, for example, where you defend fort Nexus from a horde of trolls with your fellow moderators wielding ban hammers by your side is something I've dreamt about... This competition is for Oblivion, Fallout: New Vegas and Dragon Age: Origins. While I understand some modders have not made the move from Fallout 3 to New Vegas (or indeed Morrowind to Oblivion) I did not want to dilute the entries or the prize pool to accommodate these earlier games in their respective series. Sorry to all those disappointed by this. Note: if it turns out that Dragon Age 2 is moddable using the same tool set as Dragon Age: Origins then this competition will be moved over to Dragon Age 2. Stay tuned after the release of Dragon Age 2 For full details on what to do and how to enter go visit the competition page. This year the prizes have been tripled in value from a prize pot of $500 to a prize pot of $1,500 and we're covering Dragon Age, too. Top prize for winners is a $350 Amazon.com voucher, with $100 prizes for runner-ups and $50 prizes for mods with the highest potential. The competition ends 10 days after the 2.5 million member mark is reached so by current estimates that's about 8 months away; but there may be more Nexus sites on the way in the mean-time that makes that figure likely to change, so jump on it quickly to avoid disappointment. Wiki competition For those without the creative edge or time to create modifications we are currently running a raffle competition on the Nexus Wiki whereby any helpful articles you add to the site will count as a raffle ticket to go towards a prize draw for a $100 Amazon voucher that will be decided at the same time as the 2.5 millionth member competition. So there's something for everyone here. Further updates will come as we get closer to this milestone. Feel free to voice your intentions to enter this competition and, if you wish, share your plans with the community. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaldir Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) If an article on the Wiki has already been made, but you add a lot to it, does that count, or only new ones? I'm more focused on the Millionth Member Compo, but would be nice to be in for the Wiki Compo as well. :)And of course, I forgot the 18 years old requirement... :( Edited January 20, 2011 by Zaldiir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankSlimski Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Sweet. In. I was going to take about 8-10 months to work on my next massive quest release anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris99us Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think that it is great that the site has reached so many people who all have a common interest!! This is a great society of sharing, inspiration, and friendships. It is great that those people that are very creative create awesome mods and then out of the goodness of their hearts shares them with everyone else!! I know that I am inspired to learn how to mod so that I can see what I can create! I think it is great that these milestones are important and are used as a time for the creative create something really amazing! I cannot wait to see what mods are created! Good luck to all of you who create awesome mods! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistahtokyo Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I will fall in love with whomever does the "Nexus Defense" mod. Especially if I get to see those mods with giant banhammers. xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think I'm gonna give it a try, even though I'm not 18 yet. Still will be fun, and I'm bored out of my skull not having a modding project anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaldir Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'd join anyone who starts the Nexus Defense mod, but it won't be me since I'm not 18 yet.. Wait a minute, 8 months.. Then I'll be 18! :DI'm going for it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slicer51b Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) An event worth celebration and praise, few sites ever make it up to 2.5 million users, let alone 250 users. I won't be entering the competition, but now that you bring up the "because I'm a sucker for a good quest!" I have 3 suggestions for Quest Mods you may enjoy playing available here on the Fallout 3 Nexus. To both the moderators and Dark0ne, Enjoy! Listed by number of Endorsements (high to low):1. Mothership Zeta Crew:This clever masterpiece takes the major letdown Mothership Zeta DLC and transforms it into the DLC most worth playing (to get at the quests). Also, the MZC team has produced a "Shorter Zeta DLC" plugin available on the Mothership Zeta Crew Addons and Utilities F3 Nexus webpage. So with the plugin active, the Zeta DLC takes about 1 hour to complete, not 2 or 3 hours (now quicker to get at the MZC quests). If you have any problems, or questions, refer to the FAQ under the discussion tab. If that doesn't mention your difficulty, leave a comment on the mod thread and it will be soon answered by one of the MZC team members. Also to be honest and open about it, I work on the MZC team, so that does factor into my suggesting it. 2. Vault 101 Revisited: Were you ever annoyed with your childhood friend kicking you out of the vault just because you blew away her Dad (not to mention Overseer Mack...)? Now you can come back into Vault 101 and not be considered an "arrogant and insubordinate" child (quote taken from the late Overseer). 3. The Institute: Ever think about what this "Institute" is after Dr. Zimmer (android guy from Rivet City)? This quest mod takes the player to the institute and glues the player to the screen as he/her awed by the storyline, goes through the quests. Lt Slicer51b Alien Technology Adaption DivisionTerran Starship Command (Yes we really get into this "Terran Starship Command" thing).

Deleted1744345User Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Too bad I won't be 18 in at least 2 years, but I can't wait to see what the community will come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
