The Post-Ciddies Summer 2013 Thread (VOTE ON THESE SPEECHES NERDS)

[Shorty]

*~*A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
AND MORE*~*


http://img.youtube.com/vi/_8HxWtiAxQk/0.jpg

The Ciddies are time when we come together and gloat about our performances on the forums for the past six months. Many are nominated, but few will win the awards they are up for. Even fewer are thanked and recognized for the hours toiled away behind the scenes of organization, coordination, planning and execution. Not this year, folks!

I'd like to dedicate this thread to everyone who put forth effort and time toward the Ciddies this year. You people are what make this event what it is and every year it just gets better and better. On that note, I'd like to take this moment to present The Man Behind The Curtain Award to Raistlin/Award Pimp who has done such a superbly phenomenal job of organizing the Ciddies this year. This man has such an incredibly busy schedule and somehow he's still managed to find time in his personal life to come through and pull out an amazing show this year. He even gave out cookies! Everyone give him a round of applause!

Moving right along to the rest of everyone who helped out. So many people contributed speeches this year. An incredible special thanks to Locky, Jiro, Loony BoB and Flying Mullet for stepping up to submit an overabundance of speeches this year. These folks narrating the awards are what I look forward to the most. (Let's be honest, no it isn't.) In all seriousness, though, they are all very busy people (except Loony BoB, he just hangs out on the internet all day) and for them to sit down and dedicate this time out of their lives in order to say something nice about the members and their productivity (see: spam) of this forum is something that should be recognized an appreciated.

Kind words offered from some members about the top speech writers and The Wizard Award Pimp himself:


Raist did an EXCELLENT job streamlining the Ciddies this year. Not sure if has been done before, but spreading it all week as a cool idea! WTG RAIST!


Thank you, Award Pimp. Because of the wait, I've never been this excited about Ciddies. Denmark and I had a Ciddies parties with steak and booze because we were so smurfing excited. This has quite literally been the greatest Ciddies I've ever experienced, and I know for a fact that Denmark feels the same way.

Locky, you're my best friend. You deserve every Ciddie you win, and thank you so much for organizing speeches. You've stayed on top of us, and I know that every single person who wrote a speech is happy to have you on top of them.
;)


i was incomplete until i found raistlin, locky , jiro, and all others involved this year


I'm slightly drunk so forgive my frankness but I think Tara is one of the most hard working people for EoFF that has ever existed ever. When I go through trout times, or busy times, I back off. Tara is FULL smurfING ON. She is a beat from the North East (newcastle) and she wants to be doing everything because she is the best member. BEST MEMBER. In my opinion. I've won Best Member a lot and I think that someone who cares about EoFF as much as I do has a lot to say about what it takes to put effort into this place and she lives EoFF like I do. She cares so hard. She wants everything she does to be amazing, and she will make an effort like nobody else. If I were to have to pass on something to someone and want them to go the extra mile, it would be her.

I love Jiro too he's a proper bro but he was totally gone from the forums recently and focused on his real life world stuff, which he needed to do and I respect that megally. MEGALLY. That's a word for this speech thing. Anyway, I am all for his work ethic and his desire for EoFF to be the best thing ever.

I LOVE THESE GUYS THEY CARE. THEY ARE PASSIONATE. You have to respect how much they care. I think I recently told someone (they know who they are) that I may get crazy sometimes, and some other people can get crazy sometimes, but it's the crazy people who make EoFF what it is. Crazy people are the ones that are so passionate about EoFF that they are hardcore enough to make it that much better. They love it, they live it. The casual, more "let's just work on EoFF sometimes" people are the ones that get us from one crazy to the next, but the crazy people will make EoFF into the best site, they will push themselves to the limit just to make the place better. I was crazy, sometimes I still am. Sometimes stable people do some odd things but it's just to keep the place going. Crazy people will try to make EoFF GREAT. THE GREATEST. They will try until they fall smurfing over. They are the best. Jiro was the best when he was smurfing pushing like a bitch, and Tara is the best now. That's how I see things. I love these guys. Jiro left but I still love him. Tara is the best right now. Don't smurfing forget it, I know EoFF, I live EoFF, I see every statistic about this place and I do my best to know people around EoFF and the way I see it, these two have pushed EoFF from troutty 2011 levels to amazing 2013 levels and I believe that these are the kind of people that can take EoFF to a whole new level. I love them, I believe in them, and God knows I would do anything to help them. They are my friends, they are people I care about to no end, they are the future of Eyes on Final Fantasy and they will make this place like it was being built from the very beginning, from nothing. They will give their all. Don't ever forget them.


I'm really impressed at how smoothly the Ciddies ran this year and how great of a job Raist did for his first time running it! Splitting up the awards over a period of days was an interesting twist and I think it worked nicely. Also: Locky did a bang-up job with the speeches, this is honestly one of the better speech roundups I've seen. :) Great job to her and to all the speech writers!


Here is my thanks in the form of haikus.

~

Raistlin, Award Pimp:
great job on all the hard work!
It was fantastic!

And the speech writers:
I was thoroughly amused.
Thank you for the laughs!

You guys amazing! Seriously. Thank you so much. From Award Shorts and the rest of the forum, you are highly appreciated.

[Loony BoB]

It's cool Sarah. I'm okay with speeches.

[Shauna]

Thanks to Raist and all our Speech writers! Big thanks to Locky for getting the speeches sorted too! :D

[Jinx]

As usual, Locky swung it out of the fucking park.

[Formalhaut]

I swear I did 3 speeches :p Ah well.

Tough to choose!

[Faris]

So how many of BoB's speeches were drunk ones?

[Shorty]

So how many of BoB's speeches were drunk ones?

All of them.

I would not care how crazy she was :)

[Agent Proto]

I didn't PM back my thanks to Shorty for this thread, so I'll just post what I want to say.

Raistlin, you did a very good job with the Ciddies this week. While you've done things differently with the revelations, it did provide some hype for the major awards that was just done today. The chat revelations was also fun to participate in, and I certainly enjoyed your trickery throughout the revelations, that was pretty sneaky of you. I'm probably disappointed I haven't won anything, but I'm glad that I was able to get votes for some of them. Especially coming up second for Best Artist (tied with DrAssenov) behind Pete for President, is no bad thing. In fact, it just shows that my artwork is slightly improving since I've picked it back up. So, yeah.

Great job on the Ciddies, Raistlin! I wouldn't mind seeing Award Pimp host again if he's available. :D

[Faris]

I should get brownie points for helping BoB remember who was nominated for most honest member and completely skipping him.

Honourary award to everyone who answered BoB's phone call as well.

yeah, that didn't happen

[Raistlin]

Aw, you're welcome, everyone. I'm glad everyone had fun. As someone who's been around since the beginning, the Ciddies have been idling on my bucket list for a couple of years now. I'm glad it worked out that I could host, and especially happy that everything went on without much a hitch (thanks in large part to Locky putting out a lot of work the last couple of days). Thanks to all the other speech writers, too, as they were top quality as usual.

It was fun, but definitely tiring. I think I'll need to give it at least a few Ciddies break before I consider hosting again. :p

I'll definitely be sure to vote for speeches, though it'll have to be tomorrow. I'm not doing smurf all more tonight.

[Nicolas]

Whatever I'm supposed to be doing here, I vote for Nicky's. That is all.

Hey, hey now. I could do what I always do and NOT do anything along the lines of participation. Would you rather that alternative?

[Night Fury]

I can empty my mognet box now :monster:

[Loony BoB]

So I was pretty drunk (still a little drunk now >_>) when I got a PM from Sarah last night asking to say things about Tara and Jiro and it turns out she also mentioned Raistlin and I didn't read that bit for some reason. Again, drunk. So. Raistlin!

I know how hard it is to run these Ciddies. It's an enormous task, it takes bloody forever, and you put a great twist on things and still managed to get it all sorted without any slip-ups. The level of involvement required to host the Ciddies is an incredible thing, something people more than likely underestimate to a massive degree. You deserve every bit of praise that has been sent your way for this, man. You're a good bloke, an honest bloke (despite my drunken lawyer joking crap in that speech), and a hard working one too. You know that while I hate debating crap with you, I've always had a lot of respect for you as a staffer even when you weren't on EoFF staff and now I can feel that you're so much more of a complete EoFF member after 13 years at this place because now you have run the Ciddies, you've given back to the community in a massive way. Top man, and I won't say this kind of stuff about you often, so enjoy it while it lasts. ;) Great Ciddies.

But if anything, I hope you now have a slight understanding of why I got annoyed when you and Murd buggered up my bloody Ciddies, you little cockmonkey.

[Shorty]

For the record, I initially listed Locky and Jiro because I assumed they wrote the most. Then I tallied up the numbers from BoB and Mulley and had to include them as well, but it was too late to get nice things said about them. :(

[Night Fury]

Don't include me in a list for writing a few speeches. Ciddie's were Raistlins thing so praise him.

[Shorty]

Not happening. Hush it up.

[Loony BoB]

Don't include me in a list for writing a few speeches. Ciddie's were Raistlins thing so praise him.
You and your modesty. Here, let me be cocky enough for the both of us...

For the record, I initially listed Locky and Jiro because I assumed they wrote the most. Then I tallied up the numbers from BoB and Mulley and had to include them as well, but it was too late to get nice things said about them. :(
It's okay, no words can do us justice anyway.

[Shorty]

Mulley is better than you. He is better than us all.

[Aulayna]

Hopefully I can actually be around for the winter ones this year and see the stuff in chat. It feels like I'm only getting half of the experience without the #eoff stuff.

All that being said - great job Wes, especially with the other stuff you had going on at the same time, you pulled it together well.

The speeches that I've read so far (still catching up >_>) have been hilarious too! Never did I consider likening EoFF to a colony of ants... :p

[Night Fury]

Jesus Christ! you bunch of bastards!

You didn't vote us for Cutest Couple. How very dare you ALL. You just don't know how cute Philara is. Just you wait until our beach snaps pop up in a picture thread, you'll be like 'Damn, they ARE the cutest couple!'
:stare:

So I'm sitting like Locky-no-Ciddies for a while. And I win Best Blogger/Article Writer and I'm like this.

So thank you so much for the votes! I am gonna shake my bootay in celebration all day.
(I'm also going to make sure I eat a lot of cake to maintain a Beyonce-esque curve)

:heart:

[Loony BoB]

I fixed all your links, Sarah. :stare: 15 posts per page is vile.

[Shorty]

I don't know of to what you are referring to. I have a billion posts per page.

You can't get it, though, sorry.

[Shauna]

I am glad you are finally accepting the truth, Tara. Congratulations to you, and thank you for your hard work. :p

[Aulayna]

Okay so I'm finally caught up now... all I can say is: wow! :jess:

As I said to BoB earlier I was pretty much hoping for Best Thread Maker or Biggest FF Fangirl. I honestly thought I was nowhere near down with the "in" crowd, crazy, witty or... exuberant enough... for one of the more serious awards. So, then to win two serious awards and not win the ones I thought I actually stood a chance at... wow... wow... and more wow! Thanks to everyone who voted for me.

Congratulations to all the other winners. Locky on best member, going from best newbie to best member in a half a year - showing these old codgers how it is! Pete a well deserved best artist and Pike for sniping Best Thread Maker :hot:

The speeches were all fantastic too and I'll be sure to send some votes in once I've pondered over it some more!

[Raistlin]

I thought you were going to win Best Thread Maker, and was a bit surprised you didn't. Though you apparently never had a chance at Biggest FF Fangirl haha. You definitely deserved the Ciddies you did win.

[The Man]

I am pretty sure no one is ever going to beat lonny bob for Biggest FF Fangirl.

@Most Interesting Man meme: I, on the other hand, won only the Ciddie I was expecting to and no others. :monster: That's how it seems to go most Ciddies these days :monster:

[Pike]

Pike for sniping Best Thread Maker :hot:


I thought you were going to win Best Thread Maker, and was a bit surprised you didn't.

I suppose last year is still fresh in everyone's mind :smug:

Of course, now I've got to up my game and keep with my reputation! Auly is a very worthy opponent indeed.

[Loony BoB]

Best Thread Maker is tricky because everyone will have different views on it. Some might opt for silly, some for serious, some for unique, some for few great ones and some for sheer volume of threads made. Personally, I opted for the person who made threads I was most likely to reply to.

Well now you've got me all curious! :shifty:

Just quoting to get your attention. Just pointing out in Skype that you were ALLLLLL MAAAAAAD because you never win a serious Ciddie! Well you won best male by one vote over me! NOW YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY!! ;)

He wrote-in himself.

[Night Fury]

I'd like to take this moment also to say that I did not vote for myself at all. I didn't even realise this was a thing until I was in Edinburgh and smittenkitten, BoB, and Shauna all mocked me for it. :(

[Raistlin]

I somehow missed Daniel's sappy post on the last page.


I know how hard it is to run these Ciddies. It's an enormous task, it takes bloody forever, and you put a great twist on things and still managed to get it all sorted without any slip-ups. The level of involvement required to host the Ciddies is an incredible thing, something people more than likely underestimate to a massive degree. You deserve every bit of praise that has been sent your way for this, man. You're a good bloke, an honest bloke (despite my drunken lawyer joking crap in that speech), and a hard working one too. You know that while I hate debating crap with you, I've always had a lot of respect for you as a staffer even when you weren't on EoFF staff and now I can feel that you're so much more of a complete EoFF member after 13 years at this place because now you have run the Ciddies, you've given back to the community in a massive way. Top man, and I won't say this kind of stuff about you often, so enjoy it while it lasts. ;) Great Ciddies.

:love: Despite us being who we are, it seems like we've always gotten along, no matter how much we disagreed. Considering you are the Ciddies host, the fact that you approved means a lot. Though I like to think that my greatest contribution, what I added to the Ciddies that the usual host(s) would not, was approving the MLT Get Together nomination of you and a corpse as a finalist.


But if anything, I hope you now have a slight understanding of why I got annoyed when you and Murd buggered up my bloody Ciddies, you little cockmonkey.

Sorry man, but if Del had instead done that to me, I still would have laughed. :p (although I had nothing to do with that planning except for being the recipient of one of the fake awards and knowing something was going to happen)

[Loony BoB]

I'd make another "Raistlin sucks" post but I don't want to hog everyone's rep.

Also, I think you'll find that I allowed NCG's Left Ear because NCG's Left Ear is a registered member of EoFF, just like The corpse of a young woman from EoFF who BoB has tricked into meeting with him [...] (http://home.eyesonff.com/members/39170.html)

[Shorty]

Hey, hey now. That corpse deserved its win.

[Pike]

Best one was still Julian and his collection of pictures of girls he takes while hiding in the bushes

[Shorty]

"you have given out too much rep in the last 24 hours, try again later"

It's like an evil eight-ball. :argh:

[Shauna]

Has the rep limit been restored? The evil returned?

[Shorty]

I don't think so, I think I actually hit the limit BoB increased yesterday. My thanks to the peanut gallery.

[Pike]

I CALLED IT

[Denmark]

he put it to 1000

there's no way you gave out 1000

(he's since changed it back apparently)

[Raistlin]

BoB was drunk though. He might've only set it to 100, which Sarah could have easily reached.

[Shorty]

Did you see what was happening in that thread? Did you?

[Shauna]

Shorty almost died laughing.

[Sephex]

Did you see what was happening in that thread? Did you?

http://i.imgur.com/Xz7JK.png

[Loony BoB]

I set it to 1000 and still got zero rep for my drunken transcription of my drunken phonecall. Needless to say I have since lowered it down again. >=[

[Shorty]

I got rep for slighting you about it, though. /smug

[Loony BoB]

yeah well you're a knob

[Shorty]

I'd rather be a knob than Loony BoB.

[Loony BoB]

Well I guess you're in luck then! >=[

I'm feeling some post Ciddies-malaise =/

[Shorty]

I am waiting for Raistlin to send me his votes like he said he would. :colbert:

[Calliope]

Hurry us, Raistlin. You think you get a break after all of your work? Well, you're wrong =/

[Raistlin]

There, I sent in my damn votes!

[Shorty]

Anyone else who wants to send them in you have... not very long. Submit ASAP or weep.

[Shorty]

Ladies and gentlemen...

We have a three-way tie for second place and I need more votes submitted ASAP.

If you have not voted, please do so now so I can reveal the favorite speeches!

You have until I get home from work in two and a half hours so I can start working on elections again!

[Jinx]

What votes are these?

[Shorty]

For speeches. Choose your favorite three listed on the first page of this thread, please!

[Rob Roy]

Breaking News!
Raistlin and Award Pimp are the same person!

*~*FAVORITE SPEECHES*~*

It's that time! The votes are in and have been tallied up. A special thanks to the voters who took time to recognize the time and effort that went into putting these speeches up! We truly had some awesome ones this round. I look forward to seeing what the good members of this forum come up with for our December round of Ciddies.

Too many damn ties, though! First a tie for second place and after more votes rang in, a tie for third place! Ah, well.

speeches!

Congratulations to Del Murder and to smittenkitten on recognition for their speeches this year! Third place is almost as good as first, in my opinion. Not quite, but close enough.

Moving on to second place, this was indeed quite the favorite among voters and tied for first place for a while before some straggler voters submitted their favorites.




Jiro
for his
Most Gullible Member (http://home.eyesonff.com/general-chat/showthread.php?p=3285926#post3285926)
speech!

A well-deserved spot in the top three (four, technically) for the amazing video speech we received this year. Did you get a look at that sexy bod? Did you? Go watch it again. Congratulations, Jiro!

This brings us to the favorite speech this year. Time and dedication went to all the speeches that were submitted to the Ciddies, but I personally feel like this one had just a bit more of extra care and thought that went into it to make it as perfect as it was.




Calliope
for her
Most Missed Member (http://home.eyesonff.com/general-chat/showthread.php?p=3285858#post3285858)
speech!

While the revelations were going on in #eoff, Award Pimp directed us to the forums thread to read the posted speech. Each and every person went in there to read it at the time and each and every person switched back into chat and commented on what a heavy and thought-provoking, appropriate speech it was. For how well it was written, for how accurate and for how creative it was, without a doubt, these words of hers deserve top recognition. Congratulations to Calliope!

Congratulations and well done to the folks who received recognition for favorite speeches among the masses. To those of you not mentioned in the top three here, please do not be dismayed. Your work has not gone unnoticed and we truly thank you again for making the Ciddies what they were this year. Again, I look forward to seeing what the amazing writing crew we have on these forums pulls together with in the next round of awards.

Til December, folks!

[Pike]

ahahahaha Calliope's speech

At first we were :hyper:
And then we were :crying:

[Rantz]

Very well crafted speeches indeed. Great job you guys!

[Jiro]

I didn't get around to voting but the right choices were made anyway. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality, and this is me, so you know it was good. All of you people that were lacking confidence now know that you are champions in this field and can make magic. The rest of you have a chance to prove yourselves next time :aimsun:

[Sephex]

Whoops, somehow missed this thread. However, I agree with the results, so it's not like it would have made a difference. Good going, Calliope!

[Lonely Paper Star]

Grats to the winning speeches! :3

[Raistlin]

Definitely fair results. Nicky's speech was the rare entirely serious one that was so well-written and accurate that it ended up being one of the most memorable speeches of the Ciddies. Jiro had a number of good ones (Most Objective also springs to mind), but this one was the most entertaining. Del's speech was another personal favorite of mine.

[Shauna]

Indeed, these ones did stand out as great speeches. Well done to you writers!

[Calliope]

Thank you, you guys! It took me a while to write my speech, so I'm really happy it was well received. This is just as good as winning a Ciddie, and I think the person who told me the story about the fire ants will be pleased as well.

[Rob Roy]

I think the person who told me the story about the fire ants will be pleased as well.
