Summer 2015 Ciddies- Speech Request Thread

[Colonel Angus]

It's Ciddies time & once again, we're looking for volunteers to write speeches for the main event. If you want to participate and write a speech or two, just volunteer here in the thread & I'll update this post & put you down for it.

We'll allow up to two speeches for each award, so if one person has taken an award you really wanted to do, you still can do another speech for it. There's no limit to the number of speeches anyone can write. Audio speeches are allowed, as they have been in the past, if that's your preference. If you write a speech & would like someone else to do the audio, I'm sure that can be worked out as well.

I'd like the speeches by 10pm Central Time US on July 3, so I could have a chance to look them over for any typos, etc. I've listed all the categories & their nominees for your convenience.

Thanks ahead of time for your participation! :D

[Fynn]

Sadly, I'm a bit too busy to be writing a speech, but I can read someone's speech if they like. I'd just rather it wasn't one of the ones I'm nominated for.

[Colonel Angus]

I'm going to send out Mognet Messages tomorrow to all the known writers here. Still a lot of categories available, nerds! :smash:

[DK]

paul and steve are going to do most intimidating and most awesome, possibly an MLT as well

[Wolf Kanno]

Sadly, I'm a bit too busy to be writing a speech, but I can read someone's speech if they like. I'd just rather it wasn't one of the ones I'm nominated for.

Just do what I do: get troutfaced and record a message on vocaroo. xD

Yep... :wcanoe:

Alright, so drink a lot of water and record a message on vocaroo.

[Fynn]

Would Goddamn tea be okay?

[Sephex]

As long as you nail those speeches to a tea.

[Colonel Angus]

I'm going to start harassing people after work to volunteer!:jess:

[Psychotic]

I'm going to start harassing people after work to volunteer!:jess:You haven't put us down for Intimidating and Awesome you scoundrel.

[Shiny]

I have something funny in mind for 29 and 49 but because it's time consuming I can only do one. It will be a video speech. Pick which one please because I am indecisive.

[Colonel Angus]

Wasn't sure that was serious, but I'll mark you guys down. Are you doing both together?

Do 49 only if it involves a LOT of innuendo.

If it doesn't, do 29. :up:

And better than you!

If you're going to quote CM Punk it's heel Punk or no Punk.

Edit: Colonel asked nicely, so I'll take Best Avatar and Best Sig.

[Colonel Angus]

Since we're getting so close to the deadline & there are a ton of available categories, I'm not going to allow more than one speech per category any longer.

If anyone has the chance to do a speech, or if you've done one, another, please feel free to claim one. Remember, the deadline is Friday night, 10pm Central Time US. After that I will do any open speeches & can't promise any sort of quality.

[layin' on the guilt]So if you don't want to ruin Award-chan's epic Summer Ciddies, you might want to consider writing a few speeches! :bigsmile:[/layin' on the guilt]

[Pumpkin]

I'll take Best Veteran, Best Artist, and Best Thread

[Colonel Angus]

I will probably do drunken award on Friday night and drunken awards on Saturday afternoon. :p I'll help you do whatever's left, but I also can't promise quality. xD Have you PM'd people?
I've sent one out yesterday to a handful of people. They're probably not available.

A moment ago I posted on the FB group page requesting speeches.

GET TO IT, NERDS!

[Shiny]

Can't do a vidya speech on a count of too much to do. If I have downtime at the airport and free wi fi I'll whip some written ones.

[Bubba]

Most Stylish done.

I'll take MLT Have a Summer Romance.

EDIT: That one is done as well.

I'll take MLT Forget to Wear Sunscreen and Get Sunburn

[Shaibana]

ill do Most Dramatic member :D

[Shauna]

I cleaned up the OP so you can easily see which awards still need speeches. Which is a lot. xD I also didn't know which ones had been completed or what, so I only tagged Bubba's as complete. FEEL FREE TO CORRECT THEM COLONEL.

As an aside, I'll take socks & sandals, local cuisine and best LP

[Ultima Shadow]

"Hmm, well, I suppose I could do
'most likely to Be Forever Trapped
in a Visitor Message Conversation'."

[Pumpkin]

I've completed all of mine except for Best Artist

[Shauna]

Cool. x}

[Sephex]

Finished my Ciddie speech. Hope people will enjoy what I did! I would take more, but I am going to be incredibly busy the next few days because of the holiday weekend!

[Colonel Angus]

Thanks, Shauna, for the fix up!

& Thanks to everyone who's participating! I'm going through the speeches I've received & have taken on a few more myself.

I would like to ask for somebody(ies) to take 36, 38, 39 & 40. Particularly if you're familiar w/ the game(s), it might make for better speeches.

[Formalhaut]

I REALLY don't do speeches. In fact, I never have.

But Colonel Angus's glowing plea for aid has twisted my arm. What the heck, just throw together a few lines?

I'll take MLT Win a Ciddie for the Very First Time!

[Aulayna]

39. Not Vote because of Heavensward

sign me up

[Formalhaut]

39. Not Vote because of Heavensward

sign me up

Will Aulayna fall victim to the curse of 'not completing speech because of Heavensward?'

[Bubba]

MLT Forget to wear sunscreen and get sunburn is done.

If no-one wants it I'll take Best Chatter too.

[Colonel Angus]

There's still a few more, if anyone wants any. I'm sending out PMs to those who've taken speeches, but haven't gotten back to me with them.

I want, once again, thank everyone who participated! We have some excellent speeches this time! :thumbsup:

[Colonel Angus]

Hey guys/gals, when you turn in your speeches, @ this point you can just message them straight to Award-chan (still claim anything here, though, so we can keep track of who has what). I'll send her the finished speeches I've already received, so anything new you guys do can just go to the boss. Thanks again for all your help. This is going to be a great Ciddies!

[Ayen]

-wipes sweat off brow- Man, those last couple of hours were intense.

[Pumpkin]

I'll take Be Rejected at Customs, Have a Cold, Wintery Vacation, Cutest Couple, and Best Custome Title

Since I'm doing a lot, feel free to message me if you'd like to do them instead. I'm trying to be helpful since Ciddies are due tomorrow, and I'll be up all night doing these so I'll gladly hand them over

[Colonel Angus]

Thanks guys! You're the bee's knees, fo' shizzle! :thumb:

Edit: I've claimed Arrested Broad, Most Helpful & Most Hard Working

Edita: Also claimed Most Carefree Member

[Pumpkin]

I AM FINALLY DONE MY SPEECHES

[Colonel Angus]

I literally cannot write any more speeches tonight. I'll try to write some more whenever I wake up, if I can. If anyone wants to take any of the ones left, feel free to do so. :sleepy:

[Bubba]

Dragon Quest one done

Edit: I'll get the FFVII nerdgasm one done as well

[Sephex]

Now that these are obviously done, I am glad a few of you enjoyed my video speech! It was fun to be an awkward dork who made himself seem like an alcohol master!

Rest? I only have six months to come up with a way to top my Best Avatar speech.

This will require a third of my cunning. No, all of my cunning. :shifty:
