That was my prospective too (over laped awards instead of showon all of them).
Awards must work as MOTIVATION for further improvement and constant contribution.
They must be like modding steps for any kind of modder inorder to continue strugling to learn and offer to modding community. Many new modders that try from square one -LIKE WE ALL DID- often say "i give up". See an example here: Link.
Both Gigantus and I tried hard to encourage him to continue trying because we also were in his position years ago.
In our case lot's of great modders tought us what we know today. But recent times great modders like Gigantus are rare. Most are inactive. What remains is a number of tutorials.
If that modder continues his efforts and release 10-12 models that as free source can be used in any mod TWC must let him know that his efforts did not pass unnotticed. A small award will be given.
That small award will work as motivation to create something biger or better. The next award (silver?) will also work as motivation to keep trying finally of he makes something extensive will awarded with Gold award. That gold award will motivate him to start a new mod or to participate in one. TGC mod came back to life thanks to _tartaros_, Miquel_80 and with plenty of help of Gigantus and others followed.
Finally if that modder will present something like a submod, minimod , a released mod, free sources, etc, will be an Artifex. In the end if like an Artifex will spead his knowlege to new modders in the future ,like he is today , he must recieve the award Opifex.
Conclusion:
- Creating a modding material that can be used in mods Legio 501 Bronze
- Creating a bigger or better material that can be used for mods Legio 501 Silver (replaces Legio 501 Bronze).
- Creating an extensive modding material that can be used for mods Legio 501 Gold (replaces Legio 501 Siver).
- Creating a stand alone submod, a minimod, a released mod Award Artifex (replaces Legio501 Gold).
- Participating with advices, tutorials, tools etc to spread his knowlege to next generation Modding service award (stays as a reminder that this modder offered his knowlege for the common good).
- Artifex + Modding service award = Opifex.
All these for the survival of TWC.
As i wrote in an other thread most of us had the privilege to have great teachers.
Now TWC needs motivation to keep new blood active.
None of us became what we are today since day one here in TWC.
