Thank you very much.

One minor reminder: Please do not insert personal attacks or insult in your speech or I might have to reject it!

The last three missing awards will be reserved to the event commitee or selected fews like BoB suggested.

Thanks again for your time.

[Psychotic]

I would like to do Best Artist please. :)

[qwertysaur]

I'll take best RM/Former Staff and Most Helpful Techy. :p

[Raistlin]

I'll take Evilest and Most Missed. I could have fun with those.

[Bunny]

Randomly assign me one or two of the member-related ones and I will probably write up something akin to gold.

[~*~Celes~*~]

#46 and #48 please~

[Laddy]

I got something good planned for Best Member. I'll do it if nobody bites soon.

I'll take #47 and #29 too.

[Marshall Banana]

32.

[Jiro]

#21 and #26 and #30 please.

[Rye]

Could I possibly do Best Male?

[Quindiana Jones]

Could I possibly do Best Male?

Is that the prize for winning Best Male?

[Breine]

Could I possibly do Best Male?

Is that the prize for winning Best Male?

xD

[Lawr]

Best CK and Best Avatar are so totally mine!

edit
My speeches will be a little naughty, this Christmas. :freak:

[Tavrobel]

Could I possibly do Best Male?

Is that the prize for winning Best Male?

xD

Is that supposed to be the prize, or is that supposed to be the punishment?

[Rye]

:bigsmile:

[Jiro]

I would like to withdraw from #21 but take up #28. Sorry but what I had in mind won't work because I am fail :(

[~*~Celes~*~]

Could I possibly do Best Male?

Is that the prize for winning Best Male?

xD

Is that supposed to be the prize, or is that supposed to be the punishment?

depends on if "best male" has ever fantasized about being chained up and whipped mercilessly before. We all know that's what Rye does to the Best Male every year :aimkiss:

[Jiro]

Jiro for Best Male 2010

[Quindiana Jones]

Jiro for Best Male 2010

xD

[Timekeeper]

I have a feeling the quality of our male members is going to rise sharply this year.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't even mean to make that a pun :eek:

[missaira]

I have a feeling the quality of our male members is going to rise sharply this year.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't even mean to make that a pun :eek:

Bahahahahahaha. Sure you didn't. ;)

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

I updated the list

But we still need some more speeches for the other awards.

Thanks.

[Tavrobel]

Like I said in the previous thread, I wind up writing everything. I'll start when I damn well feel like it.

[rubah]

Can I do the Lightning Bolt speech?

[Unbreakable Will]

Could I possibly do Best Male?

Sweet Jesus Christ....

I wanna do a speech. But can I have an example of one before I make my decision on which one? I want to make sure it'd be "appropriate" for the occasion. xD

Name of award/introduction
Clever picture (ir)relevant to award
Why the award is important/relevant
Nominees for award and why they should get the award
Pithy remark or sarcastic comment

Or you know, you could just go through the archives and look at all of the old speeches.

[Raistlin]

There is no set standard for speeches. You should just try to make fun of all the nominees as much as possible. Now SOME wusses (*cough*BoB*cough*) may say "tone it down; you can't put that in a speech!" But those people have no sense of humor.

[Unbreakable Will]

Im gonna take a whack at #9 and #23 :bigsmile:

[Lawr]

Ok there might be a problem with one of mine when it comes time for these Ciddies. Maybe, maybe not.

[Bunny]

Fine. I'm taking 34 and 40. I don't care if someone else has them, they are now mine.

[Raistlin]

If you don't have to argue with whoever Award Person is at the time to get some of your more scathing comments through the wuss-censor, then you're doing it wrong.

EDIT: in response to Sagensyg

[Lawr]

Show me an example of something that would make the wuss-censor go crazy.

[Raistlin]

I'm not sure it's even in my PMs since I probably sent them to BoB over IM, but one I remember him telling me to tone down was when I did the "Best Newbie" speech way back when and I just went on an elitist rant about how newbies are worthless, and that I wasn't going to even mention the nominees because I had no idea who they were and they were indistinguishable anyway. BooB didn't like that very much for some entirely unknown reason.

It's also unfortunate I can't write the Easiest Member speech this year.

[Lawr]

Impressive.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Hi

I updated the list.

Can still use more speeches.

Thanks.

[Rye]

I will work on it soon. :bigsmile:

[Raistlin]

And so the arguing begins. And here I thought my speeches were fairly mild and uncontroversial. :p

[Tavrobel]

MLT Get Together (50) and MLT Edward (45) are done. Working on the next set.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Hi everyone.

The speech list is updated.

Please be reminded to send in your speech early

And thank you for all the efforts.

[Breine]

Most Likely to Become a Cid's Knight is hereby done :bigsmile:

[Tavrobel]

MLT First Ciddies (44) and MLT RM (43) are complete. They were done last night, but my internet connection fritzed out.

[Melissaur]

OH OHH Can I do Cutest Male and Weirdest Member??? Pretty Please!

[Rye]

Best Male is about half-done. I'm trying to make it my best yet. :bigsmile:

[Psychotic]

I've done Best Artist, but someone else wanted to draw a lovely picture for it so I'm not submitting it until they are done. So don't worry if you don't get a submission PM from me for a while, it's all ready to go.

[Bunny]

When are these due?

[Jiro]

That's something I want to know too.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

The speeches are due tomorrow.

[Bunny]

Crap.

[Tavrobel]

MLT Ban (42) and Most Helpful (39) complete.

I'm gonna require some additional Pylons.

Best Custom Rank (17) and Cutest Female (14) are done.

I'm gonna require some additional Supply Depots.

[Fonzie]

I took Bunny's Most Improved Member Speech. :3

[Tavrobel]

Most Helpful Gamer (37) and Most Hardcore Gamer (36) have been completed.

Most Underrated (33) and Most Outrageous (31) have been sent in.

[Tavrobel]

Double post for emphasis; these should be added to the first post.


Most Likely to Become a Cid's Knight is hereby done :bigsmile:


OH OHH Can I do Cutest Male and Weirdest Member??? Pretty Please!

[Melissaur]

O_O crap well I know what I'm doing tomorrow morning then.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Double post for emphasis; these should be added to the first post.

OH OHH Can I do Cutest Male and Weirdest Member??? Pretty Please!

Thanks.

And yes, Melissaur you can do Cutest Male and Weirdest Member.

BTW, if you take someone else speech, Try to get an agreement with the person first. But it is good to have more speeches though and I will post whatever that I get which is subjected for checking etc.....

[Jiro]

Okay well I guess I'd better get a move on. I was planning on sending out PMs to my nominees but some of them had full inboxes. If they don't reply or don't get one due to full inbox this time then I am making their response up.

[Melissaur]

Ok i just turned my speeches in. I hope they're good enough! Cutest/Sexiest Male and Weirdest Member, done and done

[Raistlin]

Easiest Member done. I was planning on doing a bit more for it, but I am going out soon, so you get what I was able to finish.

[Shiny]

I'll take Best Writer if there's still time to do it.

[Jiro]

Waiting on a few more responses. If I don't get them in like ~2 hours I am going to make my real life friends respond for you. You do not want this.

[qwertysaur]

Techy and RM/FS are in.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

I'll take Best Writer if there's still time to do it.

Sure, you can do it

And there are still several awards which have no speeches yet.

You might want to write it if you want?

Thanks

[Rantz]

A rushed speech is better than none at all!

[Jiro]

Funniest is done.

[qwertysaur]

yay!

[Jiro]

Horniest is done and dusted. I will whip something up for other ones when I have a chance. C'mon guys get stuck in

[qwertysaur]

Jiro you do best chatter. I'd do it but I almost never go into chat so I would just make the speech a picture of a Llama or something. Do you want a speech that is a llama picture for the best chatter ciddie?

[Jiro]

Okay I'll see what I can do!

[qwertysaur]

:thumb: nicest is done.

[Shiny]

I've submitted Best Writer. You can put me down for Best Poster if you want, but I won't be able to get around to doing that till around 3:00 p.m. EST tomorrow. If no one else steps up to the plate and does it before then, I'll get it done.

[Tavrobel]

Best Chatter (24) and Best Site Staff (6) are complete.

Best Newbie (10) and Best Veteran (8) are done.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Hi, thank you everyone for the speeches.

Christmas will personally see to best Visitor Messager btw.

Thanks.

[Tavrobel]

Sixteen speeches. I don't even think that's a record.

That leaves 19, 16, and 15, which are Best Signature, Best Thread, and Best Post. I'm not doing those.

[Loony BoB]

Done Best Sig. Just Thread & Post to be claimed and a few others to be submitted.

[~*~Celes~*~]

I seriously thought I'd be the last to submit my speeches :o

[Shiny]

Best Poster is submitted. ;)

Good job, Tav.

[Melissaur]

I'm not sure if it's done yet or not but ill do Best Post.

[Jiro]

Best Thread done and dusted.

[Melissaur]

Same for Best Post! *phew*

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Hi. Bunny and Unbreakablewill is not contactable. Can someone replace them?

Thanks.

[Loony BoB]

First post edited so it's easier to establish what still needs to be done. It may be worth people doing backup speeches in case the last four can't be done on time! If we end up with two speeches, that's only better, yes? :D

[Jiro]

I'll have you all know that Melissaur did Best Post, not me. But thanks :D

EDIT: I'mma take a random guess and say the unknown speech writer for best admin is like Cid. Don't ask why just a thought. Unless we have a member who is called ???. Man that would be cool.

[Loony BoB]

Oops. I did change that, must have undone it somehow accidentally while changing the coding in the first post.

EDIT: Also: http://forums.eyesonff.com/members/%253F%253F%253F.html

[Jiro]

I hope he wrote it, it would be a nice welcome back.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Will and Bunny's speech, any takers?

[Loony BoB]

It's a shame, Bunny was PM'ing people to help with his speech so I imagine it would have been neat!

Sounds like a job for ...someone who isn't me. :shifty:

[Jiro]

I'll do Best Spammer.

[Rye]

I hope that Bunny finished it too, I think it'll be really awesome. =O

[Unbreakable Will]

DAMMIT!
My internet was out ;~; Im really sorry I let you down Award Yuletide

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Can you do it now?

[Rye]

I can take some last minute ones.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Best Regular and Cutest Couple? Possibly Best Spammer too.

Thanks.

[Rye]

I'm doing Best Regular now, I'll have that in in about 10 minutes. If no one does Best Spammer by then, I'll start that. I'd prefer to leave Cutest Couple to someone else, since I'm nominate in it. :)

[Jiro]

I have done Best Spammer get off my back okay it was really hard but you will love it

PS sorry if I am rude but I am tired now zzzz

[Rye]

Regular is in, dear Yuletide!

Now let us just see if we can find a Cutest Couple person. I just hope Bunny gets it in. I hate when Cutest Couple is rushed! That happened last time, and the speech was kind of mean to some of the couples. :mymelslap:

[Jiro]

I could do an awfully awesome bitter one if you want :monster:

[Rye]

I'd rather the entire speech be a clip of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omB18oRsBYg) before we have another bitter Cutest Couple speech! :frust::frust::frust:

[Jiro]

I was kidding, nobody wants to hear about me ranting about how miserable and alone I am :monster:

For the record though, I'm not really that miserable xD

[Raistlin]

Oh man, it seems I woke up late to the action. Any more that need doing? I could whip up something mocking.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

I have completed the remainder.

It might not be the best, but it's the thoughts that counts

Thanks.

[Loony BoB]

Bunny, did you ever get your speech sorted out? I'm interested in knowing what some of the other people said for it.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Bunny never hand in his speech, Christmas replaced him. :(

[Loony BoB]

It can't hurt to post it afterwards. :D The speeches are one of the best parts of the Ciddies and Bunny's looked like it was going to be pretty interesting.

[Raistlin]

Yeah, Bunny should post what he had for it.
