Queen Award, First of Her Name

<center>It's Ciddies Time!</center>

One year ago, the end of year Ciddies broke all four records for member participation, with 1837 nominations from 66 members providing the finalists for 50 Ciddies of which an unprecedented 87 members sent in a whopping 3467 votes to pick out the funniest, the weirdest, the spammiest and the sexiest members of the Eyes on Final Fantasy community we all take part in. Half a year ago, while none of the records were broken, it was a Ciddies with two massive firsts - one of them being that the Ciddies would change from the standard 30/20 split between main awards and MLT (Most Likely To) awards to a 40/10 split. The second change was that the winners would not be presented in the chatroom in a one to two hour burst, but would be posted into the forums one by one, taking over 24 hours to reveal each winner individually. In fact, the thread got a huge 744 replies before it was closed up. Will it happen again? Actually, it's all up to BoB's Mum and how long she's going to spend with them on the 4th of December when she comes up for an early Christmas. :p But on with the show! Who will win a Cid-on-a-stick this time? Let the nominating begin!

And the Ciddies are...

1) Best Member
2) Best Male
3) Best Female
4) Best Admin (no nominations)
5) Best Cid's Knight (no nominations)
6) Best Site Staff (no nominations)
7) Best Recognized Member/Former Staff (see rules) (list (http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/rmfs.txt))
8) Best Veteran (see rules)
9) Best Regular (see rules)
10) Best Newbie (see rules)
11) Nicest Member
12) Evilest Member
13) Sexiest Male
14) Sexiest Female
15) Cutest Male
16) Cutest Female
17) Best Custom Rank
18) Best Avatar
19) Best Signature
20) Best Artist
21) Best Graphic Designer
22) Best Writer
23) Best Poet
24) Best Poster
25) Best Spammer
26) Best Chatter
27) Best Role Model
28) Funniest Member
29) Weirdest Member
30) Horniest Member
31) Corniest Member
32) Most Underrated Member
33) Most Distinctive Member
34) Most Enlightening Member
35) Most Entertaining Member
36) Most Missed Member
37) Most Helpful Gamer
38) Most Helpful Techy
39) Most Helpful Member
40) Cutest Couple

Most Likely To...
41) Become a Cid's Knight
42) Get Banned
43) Sell Out
44) Win A Ciddie For The Very First Time (see rule #13) (past Ciddies winners (http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ciddiewinners.txt))
45) Get Hit By A Bus
46) Be Driving The Bus
47) Bring a Fishing Rod to a Car Pool
48) Be Calvin
49) Be Hobbes
50) Get Together

And now for the fine print.

Rule #1 - You can nominate yourself for no more than two awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
Rule #2 - You can nominate any one member for no more than five awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
Rule #3 - Do not post your nominations - PM them.
Rule #4 - PM nominations to Award Guy, not Loony BoB.
Rule #5 - PM your nominations by the closing date.
Rule #6 - Do not spam up the Ciddies Thread with self-advertising.
Rule #7 - You can not nominate more than one person per award. If you do, I'll take the first one you've nominated.
Rule #8 - You can't be nominated for avatar, custom rank and/or sig if you do not have an avatar, custom rank and/or sig - unless you remove them at some time during the Ciddies.
Rule #9 - You can change your avatar, custom rank and/or sig during nominations and finals. This shouldn't cause any major issues, as you can only earn what awards you recieve, be the votes late or early, that's your problem.
Rule #10 - Changes can be made once, and additions can be made however often you like. Please title any PM's with Changes as 'Nomination Changes' or 'Vote Changes', and the same for additions (only 'Additions' should replace 'Changes' in the title. Duh).
Rule #11 - You can only be nominated/voted for one of the 'rank-categorized-awards'. Best Admin, Cid's Knight and Site Staff have automatic entry for all of the obvious included members. Recognized Members AND Former Staff will require nominations - these will be in the same group. All other people with custom ranks are considered veterans, and all other members are either regulars or newbies. Regular Members are those who have joined EoFF (for the first time) after the date of 20th March 2004 before the date of 20th August, 2004. Newbies are those who have joined (for the first time) from 20th of August 2004 onwards.
Rule #12 You can't nominate a male for any Ciddie with the word "female" in it, and you can't nominate a female for any Ciddie with the word 'male' in it. If it doesn't have 'male' or 'female' in it, you can nominate a member of either gender.
Rule #13 Nominations for Ciddie #44 must NOT be past Ciddies winners.

*deep breath*

Also - You don't have to make nominations for every award.
Also - When nominating, please think not of overall, but purely of the last six months. In other words, if someone was really helpful one year ago, and they don't help much now, they shouldn't get that award. This is purely for the occurances of the last six months!
Also - The Cutest Couple award does not count into the five nominations for another member of your choice, or your self-nominations.
Also - All nominations are strictly confidential - the only person with access to the Award Guy account is Loony BoB.
In addition to that - You can not post your nominations or votes until after the final voting has occurred - a thread can be made for them a bit after the results are shown.
Also - To be nominated into the second round for an award, a member must obtain two nominations in that award. However, should eight members all recieve three nominations, then the cut-off will be raised to three nominations, and the same for eight members recieving four nominations each, and so on.
Also - People who are currently couples shouldn't be voted as Most Likely To Get Together - this is for people who are NOT already couples. By 'Get Together', I mean 'Become A Couple'.
Also - People who are NOT currently couples shouldn't be voted as Cutest Couple - this is for people who ARE already couples.

Also - For a list of past Ciddies winners, click here (http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ciddiewinners.txt).
Also - Let's keep it fun :) GO! Nominate!


<s>Nominations will close 12pm next Saturday (27th November 2004) GMT, or sometime around then when I feel like it (I like to keep it open if I know I can break a records - see below for those ;)). Or if I'm not there then, it'll be when I next arrive.</s> Due to the lengthy downtime for the server change, nomination time has been extended, so keep 'em coming! I currently have 1473 nominations from the below 50 members, but I'd like to pass 1850 this time around, so bring 'em on! I can't say for sure when I'll close nominations - it could be tomorrow, it could be Saturday - it all depends on how many nominations I get between now and Saturday.



Remember, I am 100% responsible for your satisfaction as a bootcamp participant.

The longer you've been at EoFF, the faster they seem to come. :) But they're always twice a year. =]

I'm sad to see my "most likely to become a recognized member" ciddie no longer exists...
Yeah, it's always sad to let the more traditional ones go... it's just got to the point that most people who are RM's are still doing the RM-stuff, so there isn't much room for people to come in. We were thinking about a MLT Become Site Staff for a while, but BoB decided against it for now.

Oh, man, time again already? :D

I wonder if I'll actually be around to celebrate any potential victories this time, since I was gone for the summer and didn't celebrate my Best Writer Summer '04 Award... any idea when the whole enchilada will come to a spectacular ending?

I think I might be nominated for those.:)

Calvin and Hobbes. I miss them.:(

First comic ever made:

Calvin: So long, Pop! I'm off to check my tiger trap! I rigged a tuna fish sandwich yesterday, so I'm sure to have a tiger by now!

Calvin's Dad:They like tuna fish, huh?

Calvin: Tigers will do anything for a tuna fish sandwich!

Hobbes:*in the tiger trap* We're kind of stupid that way.*munch munch*

Funniest comic:

Calvin's Dad: Honey, have you seen my glasses? I can't find them anywhere.

Calvin's Mom: I haven't seen them.

*Calvin walks in, looking like hid dad, with the glasses on*

Calvin: Calvin, go do something you hate! Being miserable builds character!

*Calvin's Mom is on the floor, laughing really, really hard*

Calvin's Dad: Ok, the voice was a little funny, but that's still one darn sarcastic kid we're raising.

Last Calvin and Hobbes comic made:

Calvin: Wow, it really snowed last night! Isn't it wonderful?

Hobbes: Everything familiar has dissapeared! The world looks brand-new!

Calvin: A new year... A freash, clean start!

Hobbes: It's like having a big sheet of white paper to draw on!

Calvin: A day full of possibilities! It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy...... Lets go exploring!

............:)

I went WAY off topic. It was fun though; A tribute to Calvin and Hobbes.:D

Sent mine in. I'm always pleasantly surprise to see what categories I was nominated in. I've won a single ciddie in each of the last two, so can I keep my streak intact?

Dixie, that was great. Long live the noodle incident!

The Captain
11-21-2004, 08:16 AM
Excellent, time to get nominating. There are a lot of worthy candidates yet again. Say Award Guy, will you be presenting in the same fashion as the Summer Ciddies?

I'll have my nominations in soon.

Most Likely to Win A Ciddie for The First Time is a great award, as there will never be any repeat winners. I would assume this will be the first award handed out as well because otherwise, what happens if the person who claims this Ciddie wins one right before it? Wouldn't that make the award moot? Maybe I'm looking too much into it. Sorry if that's the case.

Take care all.

Stri: Probably 4th/5th December. :)

Hsu: I think you might have been labelled the "Close but no cigar" winner once - that's when you get more votes than any other member who didn't win a Ciddie. Not sure, though...

Dixie: <3

Marick: Heyk, even the small first impressions you get of people are more than welcome - it's always good for the newbies to get involved as they can offer a different view than most people. So nominate whenever you feel you've noticed someone who deserves a shot at whatever award. :)

Da Cap'n: Nah, it means that they're most likely to win their first Ciddie in these awards in general. :)

Wow, it seems like ages since the last Ciddies ended. :D

Anyway, it's nice to see that Award Guy's cage has finally been unlocked, and he can now stage health-endangering 24 hour award marathons once again. Good for you, my friend.

The Ciddies are always awesome, and a great opportunity to give credit to those who truly deserve it. There's one particular member who I've been nominating for the past two years but has never actually won an award. Maybe he/she will get their lucky break this year. (Hint: Their name isn't 'Bech. Republic') ;)

I'll get nominating straight away. Good luck to everyone here at EoFF. Hope you win something!

6. Member moderation. It’s annoying when a spammer shows up. It’s just as annoying when non-staff members start saying things like "Oh my god you spammer" or "Close this thread!". Please don’t do that. Just ignore the jerks and let the Mods take care of it. Posting NOTHING in response to them is the best thing to do. Unless you’re a Mod, you shouldn’t be doing anything Mod-like. :love:

I'll be quiet now. Maybe. :p

Umm, I've got a question.

Do we have to nominate someone for every categorie? :O

Baloki

Rule #1 - You can nominate yourself for no more than two awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
Rule #2 - You can nominate any one member for no more than five awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
Rule #3 - Do not post your nominations - PM them.
Rule #4 - PM nominations to Award Guy, not Loony BoB.[/size][/color][size=1]
Rule #5 - PM your nominations by the closing date.
Rule #6 - Do not spam up the Ciddies Thread with self-advertising.
Rule #7 - You can not nominate more than one person per award. If you do, I'll take the first one you've nominated.
Rule #8 - You can't be nominated for avatar, custom rank and/or sig if you do not have an avatar, custom rank and/or sig - unless you remove them at some time during the Ciddies.
Rule #9 - You can change your avatar, custom rank and/or sig during nominations and finals. This shouldn't cause any major issues, as you can only earn what awards you recieve, be the votes late or early, that's your problem.
Rule #10 - Changes can be made once, and additions can be made however often you like. Please title any PM's with Changes as 'Nomination Changes' or 'Vote Changes', and the same for additions (only 'Additions' should replace 'Changes' in the title. Duh).
Rule #11 - You can only be nominated/voted for one of the 'rank-categorized-awards'. Best Admin, Cid's Knight and Site Staff have automatic entry for all of the obvious included members. Recognized Members AND Former Staff will require nominations - these will be in the same group. All other people with custom ranks are considered veterans, and all other members are either regulars or newbies. Regular Members are those who have joined EoFF (for the first time) after the date of 20th March 2004 before the date of 20th August, 2004. Newbies are those who have joined from 20th of August 2004 onwards.
Rule #12 You can't nominate a male for any Ciddie with the word "female" in it, and you can't nominate a female for any Ciddie with the word 'male' in it. If it doesn't have 'male' or 'female' in it, you can nominate a member of either gender.
Rule #13 Nominations for Ciddie #44 must NOT be past Ciddies winners.

*deep breath*

Also - You don't have to make nominations for every award.
Also - When nominating, please think not of overall, but purely of the last six months. In other words, if someone was really helpful one year ago, and they don't help much now, they shouldn't get that award. This is purely for the occurances of the last six months!
Also - The Cutest Couple award does not count into the five nominations for another member of your choice, or your self-nominations.
Also - All nominations are strictly confidential - the only person with access to the Award Guy account is Loony BoB.
In addition to that - You can not post your nominations or votes until after the final voting has occurred - a thread can be made for them a bit after the results are shown.
Also - To be nominated into the second round for an award, a member must obtain two nominations in that award. However, should eight members all recieve three nominations, then the cut-off will be raised to three nominations, and the same for eight members recieving four nominations each, and so on.
Also - People who are currently couples shouldn't be voted as Most Likely To Get Together - this is for people who are NOT already couples. By 'Get Together', I mean 'Become A Couple'.
Also - People who are NOT currently couples shouldn't be voted as Cutest Couple - this is for people who ARE already couples.
Also - For a list of Recognized Members and Former Staff, click here (http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/rmfs.txt).
Also - For a list of past Ciddies winners, click here (http://www.eyesonff.com/BoB/ciddiewinners.txt).
Also - Let's keep it fun :) GO! Nominate!

So far I have 1123 nominations from 34 users!

I will release the PM'ers tomorrow! Anyone who wishes to join the PM'ers is welcome to. In fact, I think you should all make some kind of group and I'll add you to the official Ciddies sponsors and the group can be operated by Award Stri, the official lead PM'er for the Ciddies.

Sweet, less work for me!

We don't have a list yet, but Award Guy should be on that sometime tomorrow. He usually posts the list of people who have voted here in this thread, but if we're gonna delegate the work, it might be better to come up with a list of people who haven't voted, so that we can all enjoy equal bugging privileges. I don't know how feasible that is, since people come and go through here all the time, but you know.

I'll take up to three more volunteers, if there're any more out there, since any more than six individuals would result in too many PMs floating around and possible annoyances by whomever. Six is good, though, since it seems like one person or another will be on the boards at all times. Having one or two volunteers from abroad would be nice, too, to cover the wee hours of the morning that most Americans (aside from Ashley and Mandee) are asleep.

Me
Cap'n
Bert

Oh, yes, and we'll need a cool name for our sponsorship. :)

EDIT:

Or, I just thought of this, we could split the member list into equal sections, assign people to certain sections and tell them to scan their part for people they recognize as (at least) semi-common visitors to the forums. In which case, we'll need just a few more than six people involved. :D

Either way is fine with me. It's whatever you think gets the word out in the most efficient manner.

The Captain
11-24-2004, 07:18 AM
If I recall, during the June Ciddies, we broke down who to PM based on alphabetical order and last current activity on the board, but that's all up to you Strider!

Take care all.

Strider
11-24-2004, 07:24 AM
Yeah, I just edited with that idea. I didn't realize that's how y'all did it in June, since I wasn't really around for the awards.

That'd be best, I think, even though some of the people we PM might not revisit the forums within the deadline for nominations. We'll roll with that!

In which case, we'll accept up to 10 or 12 volunteers, since there's a lot a lot of members.

Queen Award, First of Her Name

Since it's not voting, and as you said, there are so many members, you should find it very, very easy to pick someone who deserves a nomination, if anything. Pick one funny member - nominate them for funniest. See? Easy. It's not final voting, it's just giving the opportunity to people to get to the final voting. You don't have to pick the absoloute best, just someone who you think fits. With thousands of members, that should be EASY. :D

People who say "I would have nominated but since someone asked me to, I won't" have an awful excuse. It's sad to see that when people take the time to consider reminding you, you throw it in their faces. They would have spent more time reminding you than you would have spent reading the PM. Feel lucky they even thought of you. And where's the harm in a reminder? Some people honestly don't remember to do this until they get a PM. I'd feel glad that the people actually thought of me in particular, out of those thousands of people. They're just trying to help.

C'mon. Get involved in the fun. :) That's all we want you to do.

Interesting. I didn't realize that I won two ciddies in the first ever Ciddies. Most pessimistic and most likely to be arrested. I think that reflects how my online personality was different back in the day.

I'm still working on this nomination thing. I think I've got about seven of them now. This is tough. Best regular is too limited. Thinking of someone who joined between certain dates not very far apart, yikes.

<s>Nominations will close 12pm next Saturday (27th November 2004) GMT, or sometime around then when I feel like it (I like to keep it open if I know I can break a records - see below for those ;)). Or if I'm not there then, it'll be when I next arrive.</s> Due to the lengthy downtime for the server change, nomination time has been extended, so keep 'em coming! I currently have 1473 nominations from the below 50 members, but I'd like to pass 1850 this time around, so bring 'em on! I can't say for sure when I'll close nominations - it could be tomorrow, it could be Saturday - it all depends on how many nominations I get between now and Saturday.

Considering nominations haven't even been open for a full 7 days (via PM's), I think it's pretty fair to leave them open. Especially when people are obviously still sending in PM's regularly.

Dear Award Guy,

I feel that your images unfairly populaize and glamorise the nominating and voting of Baloki, this has and is none to be dirty, sick and wrong, please at least hide the identity of this perverted subject matter and at least provide a sutible sudiname such as ShlupLoki or the one that you must not be voted for.

You have 2 hours to reply to this request with complete submission, your rationalisation is useless, we here at moaners inc know what your doing and are sickened by it and will not allow nominations for such an abomination of a character and will resume our campaign during the voting stages.

Yours scencerly,
Dr. John Good
Head of the international anti-baloki charity

Queen Award, First of Her Name

Notable Notice!

One of the Ciddies has had an impressive fifteen members receive two nominations each, normally being enough to qualify for the finals - however, recent nominations have now put eight of those fifteen members ahead of the other seven. By the rules, should eight or more members receive three nominations, the qualification for that Ciddie must be adjusted to three nominations. This is, if I remember rightly, the third time this has happened in the history of the Ciddies. If not third, second - I know it's happened once with Funniest Member in past events, I'm not definite on the others, though.

No other Ciddies have yet achieved this in this event, however there are around a dozen Ciddies with six members each having three nominations.

Maxico
12-01-2004, 07:39 PM
If/when you do prune it can you give us a list of who was pruned or will we have to wait till after the ciddies are over?

Oh an whats the record of nominations?

Queen Award, First of Her Name
12-01-2004, 07:57 PM
I'll be sure to let everyone know who got two nominations in that Ciddie by the end of the Ciddies (I post a full nominatinos tally at the end of final voting, before the winners are revealed).

The record is 1837 nominations from 66 members - one year ago.

Mighty impressive, that a new record was set. Perhaps some of those PM's that were sent out worked.

As White Raven said so eloquently, we should not begrudge Award Guy for extending the nomination period because he could just as easily decide it's too much of a hassle and not do it, yet he does. Truly a champion of a fellow! And Loony Bob ain't bad either.

Take care all.
