Anniversary!!(suggestions)

Post by Generalno1 »

So the Anniversary is coming on the 23rd, We're obviously going to do something, The things from lastyears anniversary, namely The interviews, Avatar and Sig contests, As well as Story and Art competitions will be included, the competitions will close on the 23rd, and will be judged by the mods. This is a suggestions thread, for anything else you want to be included in the anniversary, or changes you want to be included in the existing competitions.
The suggestions will have to come quickly, since we can't have a competition announced on the 22nd
We wanted to include another sub forum for it, but Since Leilah is a bit busy with work, we can't do it yet.
So,Any ideas to make the Anniversary more fun?

Best self-taken Elder Scrolls Screenshot? In Oblivion or Morrowind, probably...

That could work, But we want to make the stuff more UESP centric, if the screenies could be UESP centric, it would be awesome, but i don't think we'll get many entries, or can you pull it off?
Btw, you can also ask questions here

I was thinking maybe run another set of interviews in parallel to the mod interviews, where the mods can ask the members various questions. It isn't really a great idea though.

We could have something, like, if a member asks a Mod a question, the member must also answer a question for the Mod. To even it out.

Okay, well it was just a suggestion.

I'll post again if I come up with something else.

Was the 'great avatar and name' swap an anniversary thing or an April Fool's thing? 'Cause that was funny.

It's rather easy to install the stuff to take screenshots, we could have like "Best Nature Screenshot", "Best Creature Screenshot", etc. etc. ...

nope, competitions like regular screenshots can be included in the december competition, for the anniversary, it would be interesting taking a screenie with something related to the forums in it, but like i said, it's difficult, and we might not get many entries, but if you guys think you can pull it off, it'd be awesome
edit-thanks Kalle, yea, that's what i meant

Ah, well... the site's about the games, as much as an Oblivion fanfic or artpiece is...

Right?

UESP Mod? :wink: If we get V1 finished by then of course. :) Just a stupid idea...
Is this meant to be witty, informative or deep? I doubt I can manage all three.

That'd be cool. Only thing is that the UESP Village would probably be the only competitor. :wink:

I may have to scratch that, as I was going to make a bunch of items and bodies and people lined up to say something like "The UESP Forums" but from far away you can't tell what the items are.

I say you throw in a short story. Preferably not restricted to ES, because that just hinders everything.

I agree with you on the Short Story part - but shouldn't it be related to ES, as the is the UESP forums?

I believe they have begun the drawing and fanfic (and other artsy things) competitions on a monthly basis now, beginning with the last one we had in October. You can only do those competitions for so much, unless everyone decides to get involved - which would be awesome! :)

Agreed times 10 million gazillion.

Because I have not seen any other anniversaries, can anyone tell me what was done in the past to celebrate?
