View Full Version : Ciddies kick off! Preliminary tournament - Winner revealed!



Queen Award, First of Her Name
11-21-2011, 09:49 PM
Greetings! As most of you know, every six months Eyes on Final Fantasy hosts an event where members nominate and vote each other for various awards. This event is called the Ciddies and is usually hosted by Award Guy. As you can see, I am not Award Guy. I am Award Qu, Award Guy's distant cousin. I run things a little bit differently, so expect a Ciddies unlike one you've ever seen.

To start things off, we're going to hold a little tournament to determine two of the awards. These are usually refered to as the 'paired' awards in the Most Likely to Be category. For example, last June's Ciddies had the awards:

Most Likely to Be Papa Smurf (winner: Del Murder)
Most Likely to Be Gargamel (winner: Raistlin)

This tournament will determine the two awards for this December's Ciddies.

Rules
Vote for one pair of names in each lettered 'battle'. Vote by posting in this thread. For example, say the battle for group A was:
A. Mario & Luigi
A. Quina & Vivi
You would vote by replying to this thread with:
A. Quina & Vivi (obvious choice)
Please use spoiler tags to hide your votes.
Each round will last 1-2 days.

Frodo is a whiner with hallucinations and Sam is dear dependable punching-bag Sam, which is a way cooler dynamic than Stupid Brave and Smart Deadpan.

Not too keen on Harry Potter for the Ciddies, but what is the alternative? Funny and Almost as Funny?

Because they are the cutest gay bickering couple ever. I think all Han and Leia say to each other is "smurf you".

I am offended how outmoded the progressing pairings are. The next Sherlock movie is coming out soon, Snake and Rydia are General Gaming relevant, Sheen's and Kutcher's dramas are way more recent than last The Lord of the Rings movie, and (I hate to say it) Breaking Dawn came out and gives Bella and Edward reason to (sadly) exist. Whomever came up with the initial list, please remove the film of dust from your hipness; it is starting to look bad.

I know Stewart and Colbert are two very American cultural icons, and outside of the US (and possibly Hungary) people would have no reason to care about these two, but it still makes me sad that you don't know them. They are amazing.

A Cid's Knight merged your post with Lynx's for some odd reason (hint: he was 1/3 of Award Cerberus). It's too bad, too, because had your votes counted you would have decided the Han & Leia vs. Holmes & Watson match the other way. As a consolation, I will count your vote as double for this round.


I am offended how outmoded the progressing pairings are. The next Sherlock movie is coming out soon, Snake and Rydia are General Gaming relevant, Sheen's and Kutcher's dramas are way more recent than last The Lord of the Rings movie, and (I hate to say it) Breaking Dawn came out and gives Bella and Edward reason to (sadly) exist.

You try to come up with 16 relevant pairings that most people would know about and have personalities that differ to the extent that it would make sense as MLT awards. I think the Events Committee and I did pretty well with most of them. Don't blame me if the voting prefers more 'classic' pairings.

This round is hotly contested so I will leave it open for a couple more hours to try and get some spacing between the matches.

Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for the ties to be broken and then I got busy.

Semifinals Results

A. Batman & The Joker - 7
A. Han Solo & Princess Leia - 6
B. Frodo Baggins & Samwise Gamgee - 7
B. Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert - 7 (tie broken by Miriel)

I'm a bit disappointed that Batman & The Joker has made it so far, mainly because it's not a very clever pairing and we've already had a MLT be Batman award in the past (although I can't deny their awesome). They may win, as the lack of international support for Stewart & Colbert may do them in. Or maybe the cult following of Comedy Central's award-winning news duo will be enough.

The Finals!

Why would someone vote for Jon and Stephen? We already have a Funniest Member category and both halves of the pair are funny. We need not three Funniest Member awards, people. Batman is trying to commit Joker to a loony bin and Joker is trying to blow everyone up. The level of difference between dynamics is pretty clear.

While Batman and Joker are classic, I feel that Stewart and Colbert will provide for more amusing winners. They are both funny, but they do have very different personalities. Plus they are more comtemporary.

I love Stewart/Colbert, but I don't understand how their awards could be at all entertaining. What is the dynamic that is supposed to make the awards funny? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Batman/Joker doesn't exactly thrill me, either, but, as Lynx pointed out, there is at least a dynamic between the two that allows us to make fun of nominees.
