Thanks for the noms!

[Pumpkin]

Two of the best thread posts link to the same post

Thanks for the noms everyone and goo luck to everyone!!

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Thank you for pointing that out, Pumpkin. It's been fixed now. :)

[Lyndis Highwind]

Thanks so much for the noms guys! Good luck to all of you as well!

[FFNut]

Thank you for the Noms guys, however I don't think I qualify for best newbie as I have won that award in the past.

[Freya]

Congrats to all the people nominated!! Thanks for those who voted me and good luck to everyone!

I came back a day early and have one more day off to just relax so I'll try to get my votes in tomorrow!

[Night Fury]

Voting is much easier than nominating so I'll send mine away now!

[Pete for President]

So sorry I missed the nominations! I will make up for it by voting with lots of care :D Thanks for the noms!

[starlet]

You guys nominated Mirage for mlt not watch GOT? You all should be nominated for mlt know nothing for that alone :p

[Mirage]

yeah wtf for sure. none of those who nominated me for that could possibly have ever talked to me

what, just because i don't have a cheesy bandwagon GoT avatar or signature, i can't like the show? <,<

[Fynn]

Wow, I'm in a lot of categories I did not nominate myself for, and not in several categories I did nominate myself for.

This should be interesting.

[Fynn]

Got my votes in, btw!

[Loony BoB]

Urgh, so many of these were insanely difficult. Best Regular omg what. That decision was probably the hardest for me.

[Freya]

Alright! Voted! There was a big variety this year of people in different categories! I'm hoping some lesser knowns get voted this year! I'm excited to see the results! Go everyone!

[Shauna]

Thanks for all the nominations guys! Best of luck to everyone!

Also votes r in.

[Sephex]

Can I just say that my favorite nomination for 'Warg Into a Wolf and Pee on Everything' is Sephex? xD It definitely brings up memories of him peeing in his cat's litter box because he was mad at it. xD


Full story for those interested in it:

I used to live across the street from a restaurant that had a bar. I was upset about something and it was the night of December 23rd, so I had work off the next couple of days. So I went over to the bar and had about six long islands. Also had a shot of Goldschläger because that was what I used to bargain with the barrener so I wouldn't get cut off (I explained that I wasn't driving and that if I got the shot, I would promptly leave and hand over a fantastic tip, which I did).

So I get back up to my apartment and one of my cats pissed in the middle of the rug or something. I can't remember where exactly. I was pretty pissed while being pissed at the cat pissing on my property while I pissed money away. I'm sure I said something like, "Awrighhht. YooUU tink its all gud to piss on my stuhff. Check thish out!!"

So I went over to the cat pan (I had an open style one at the time) and just started to piss in it. I quickly realized there were two problems with what I was doing, besides the obvious:

1.) I was going to have to clean this up later.
2.) I was probably going to fill up the entire cat pan with how much I had to pee.

Luckily, my bathroom was just off to the side of the cat pan area, so I was able to transfer my revenge piss to the toilet fairly easily. The cat looked at me weird.

Vote Sephex.

[Loony BoB]

I'm pretty sure Bleys also peed in his cat litter at some point. This is the reason I nominated him but alas, it seems he did not make the cut. :(

Fore ease of nagging, your Highness. A list of people who have been nominated that haven't voted yet (sans yourself and Fwab for reasons). IT'S BEEN A WHOLE DAY NOW GOSH.

[Rocket Edge]

Thanks for the nom's you lovely people.

Votes sent in. ;)

[Bri]

Done voting! Now going to torture Bert to vote as well or else!

[Bubba]

If anybody would like to help us out with speeches as well that would be great :D

There are still plenty left unclaimed!

[starlet]

I will vote when I'm goddamn good and ready to, get off my dick eoff! :colbert:

[FFNut]

Just finished my votes and send them in. Tried to spread the love as much as possible.

[Bubba]

What the hell am I paying you for?!!

I gave you a few votes Bubba settle down.

[Lyndis Highwind]

Got my votes in! This is my first being involved in the Ciddies, so I'm pretty excited. :)

[Shauna]

Best of luck! You should try and tune in for the Award Ceremony on Saturday, it's usually... interesting.

[Del Murder]

Best Regular is absurd. Anyone who met and married someone from EoFF is as veteran as they come.

Note to self: Post nothing but memes a month before the Ciddies to get nominated for best post.

Also, I'm totally #36. Notice it doesn't say keep the iron throne.

[Del Murder]

You are Queen Award, their gripes mean nothing!

[Formalhaut]

I think it's funny that when I first joined you'd get berated if you'd been here less than 10 years and called yourself a veteran, but I've gotten a lot of griping about changing the dates!

I think the current dates are fine from where I'm standing, but that's just me.

You just made the list. :stare:

Ok damage control. I need to quickly marry someone to not get this Ciddie. Apparently the chances are higher here than at the physics department at my work (go figure), so time to step up the game.

Ladies of EoFF, How you doin'?

[Crop]

It may be controversial, but I am a firm believer in the 10 year veteran rule. Always have been and always will be!

[BreakfastGrilledCheese]

I voted! I actually knew a lot of those names!

Also, I got nominated for best sig? D'aw. Forget winning, just being nominated made my heart all cheesy and gooey.

[Vermachtnis]

I almost missed this. Also, the last one was hard. I could see all of them doing that.

[Pike]

Sorry I was late, got my votes in though.

I may not be nominated for most likely to blow up a city with Veilfire but I hope I'm in your hearts as most likely to blow up a church in a Dragon Age game :cool:
