It just occurred to me (with all the work I've been doing on the AME awards recently) that I haven't seen or heard anything about the NWVault Module of the Year awards for 2008 for either NWN1 or NWN2. Have I just missed that, and does anyone know if there is or will be a MOTY competition this year?
I've no idea,the best person to ask would be Beyondthepale of the Vault
I'd be interested in that answer too. I'll e-mail BTP.
Edit: Heh, helps if I actually remember to send the e-mail. Just sent it. ;)
Still haven't heard back from BTP.
If you haven't had an acknowledgement on your mail from BTP, ty, I'd send it again. I know that around the time you sent the mail the vault mail system was weird, I had a few mails returned to me because they just were not getting through. Might also be that some just went missing.
I can't see BTP taking 5 days to answer you yes or no, or even a I'll get back to on that type of reply.
Heard back from BTP. Apparently I reminded him of something. :P

You mean they actually forgot about the MOTY awards until you reminded them by asking about it?

Not sure, the response was vague. BTP said he was going to throw it together.
What kind of meds have the Vault guys been taking :D Well, at least we'll have it
I hope they have it. I really want to win this year!
. . . Do you actually have to submit a mod to win?
;D

That always helps. ;)
MotY stuff should be up in the next few days. WooHoo!
MotY awards are up! Check the vault front page for the NWN1 & NWN2 Awards for 2008.
Every year the same joke.... International modules out of the list.
QK, is there an official explanation for this?

If you check the Vault's forums, there really isn't one, at least last time I checked there wasn't one.
I really think it's a disservice to the community not to recognize the international module. There are international players, modules are created in other languages besides English, so they should be recognized. I would guess it would be a language barrier of the vault staff. I'm not sure that they have every language that NWN is covered in on their staff.
I contacted BTP about the int. modueles:
QuoteI saw it. I've had some computer issues this week but for the most part agree with him, and you. I'll take a look. Thanks
Was is answer.
Well since the MoTY is voted on by the community, the language of the Vault staff (that being BTP & Maximus as the overall boss) does not bear any relevance. They compile (via scripts) a list of all the eligible mods using XX criteria on votes/scores and a list shows up. I'm guessing that the script simply does not include INT mods section when it compiles.
I think there about 3? INT modules in NWN2 which qualify. Hopefully BTP will add them to the list, like I said, it is the community who votes, not the Vault staff. But you can be sure there will be some who complain about 'foreign' modules in the comp...but then there is always someone who complains about something; so that is not any great news. There should be INT modules in the MoTY and I'm glad BTP agrees with that sentiment :)

Kind of like us. We've wanted to do an international module award since the AME was founded, but we've never had enough members with the necessary language skills to make it workable. So if anyone would like to volunteer to help us try to recognize the international community in this way, then please feel free to contact me about it. :)
