Will this year be the year Psychotic is finally dethroned as Best Member? :eek:
If I wanted to trout all over the Ciddies, then I would have just done so. Instead, I very actively broke my word not to contribute or participate in the event to try to put things in perspective without just being a wet blanket. I also wrote the speech for Best Chatter, for the record. I've written upwards of eighty of these things over the years; I enjoy the stupidity that is this event, and the implication that I don't is convenient smokescreen to my actual point.
Mae, my partner, is still here. People nominated her for being away. That shows, at best, a careless mistake that has compounded other, similar, less innocent mistakes. If you think my words and actions hurt, you should perhaps consider what yours might do to others also. If you're upset at my attitude, then perhaps try to understand why I am behaving like this before you start opposing me.
Here's it made simple: you (a general, non-specific you) hurt her feelings. I expect one half of the winners of Cutest Couple to understand the lengths one goes to in order to defend their loved one, no?
Enjoy your awards. I look forward to seeing a lot of joy while I lurk this out. But it's sad (and unsurprising) that the reason I left—people ignoring my legitimate grievances—is still in effect.
Congratulations to all the winners.

Thanks again for the awards everyone (^□^)/♡♡♡♡♡ I'm really touched to be the angel on the tree :< But there are many angels in heaven so everyone else that was nominated just as much deserves it (probably moreso). I can't wait for the rest of the ciddies and I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!
Oh trout it's like....almost 4am, okay I hope everyone has a great day today! Tonight! I'm not sure anymore! Time for bed! Probably!
sozbb i had to eat my delicious thai food
Thanks for the vote you and mystery other person. I am glad that I help out even you two people, it makes it all worthwhile.
Congrats to Jiro, maybee, Mister Adequate and Psychotic for all your wins.
Come back from dinner and Ciddie are done.
Guess this means more time for FFXIV right?

I don't mean to be a poo, but perhaps some of this is best addressed in more private venues. I am very sorry if people's feelings were hurt. That always sucks for everyone. At the same time, we are all responsible for our own feelings, including speaking up about them, but turning things in to a big bummer just results in even more hurt feelings. While these awards are far from perfect, let's all try to appreciate the spirit and celebrate for those who are excited and who are getting acknowledgement and acceptance for their presence here, and maybe communicate our feelings more level-headedly in private so they can be properly resolved.
Thanks again everyone for all of your work and I hope we can still have a lot of fun tomorrow :)
Also, Ultima Shadow sweep for all 25 remaining awards
God damnit. It's the Pokemon tournament all over again!
I WILL NOT QUIT UNTIL HE WINS BEST MEMBER
Wait, the Ciddies are done already? Wow.
Until tomorrow!
Oh okay, Tl;dr
My votes weren't counted but I realize I would caused a lot of ties. Voted DK for sexiest in a Santa suit because he is the clear winner.
Aw shoot, I fell asleep and missed a big honking pile o' Ciddies! (or maybe I was playing Fallout 4...?) Looks like a top notch set of awards so far. I know the P-dog sweep meme and all that but just want to say it was a sincere and nice surprise to win Most Helpful - that is really awesome of you guys. I never usually get nominated for that, much less win. Thank you!
Also super pleased for Rin Heartilly and maybee picking up some wins! There've also been some top speeches from the likes of Shaibana and Bubba too so I enjoyed reading the thread.
On Most Missed, look, we're always different people. Always. What we need out of friends is forever changing. What we need out of a Final Fantasy forum is always changing too. When I joined I was 15 and I just wanted to know how to get the black chocobo in FFV and whoop Dark Bahamut in FFX and those needs long passed. It's okay, it's all okay. Most Missed is a good way to remember the laughs or times our thoughts were provoked or when we thought somebody was likely to get hit by a bus.
Thank you for helping me try to bring down the Cid's Knights when I was 17, or teaming up to trick Nigerian email scammers when I was 20. Thanks for playing Halo for hours with me when I was 23 and shout out to you for having my back when I was 26. Those were the god damn days. You gotta keep on moving though, 'cause while I'll always love those memories, there's always new members, new people, new friends. You. You right there. What stupid trout are we getting up to tomorrow?
I'm glad I didn't win the fallout 4 award. I would have felt bad since I was too busy beating StarCraft 2 to vote. Twice.
Yes, all of it.

Don't worry Pumpkin
Our day will come
So will Ultima Shadow's
When he posts again in like 3 months
Hey folks.
Congratulations to all the winners!
Just wanted to let you know that nobody is questioning any of your good intentions regarding Most Missed. You want to commemorate the good times with someone, or point out that their presence has left a hole, or whatever, that's great. But good intentions don't reduce hurt. Nothing makes a person feel less missed and valued than being nominated for an award that involves their presence not being here, when I never left.
"Nobody goes into chat" is fine, but I post in the forums too.
"Let's just keep this thread happy" and "don't spoil everyone's good time" is fair enough, but also entirely dismissive of the fact that I was hurt.
No need to defend your nominations of and votes for Jiro - he did leave and that was a massive, obvious change to the tone around here - but like he said, his speech and his posts that followed weren't about him. They were about me and the fact that I was hurt.
To those who understood that and have sent me messages, thank you. But for those who thought that this was just another case of Jiro hating the Ciddies have let the point fly over their heads. To anyone who did or does miss me, you know where to find me. Right here. (At least for now.)
I always interpret "Most Missed" as "Person you feel doesn't really post anymore" if you're talking forums, or "doesn't really chat anymore" if you're talking about chat, or both if you're talking about both. I don't think it's a stretch to say 8 posts in six months isn't a huge amount. That's not to say that people think you're gone, but more to say that people have "felt" the decrease in activity. To miss someone is not to think that they are gone, but to notice their absence during the periods in which they are not there. Sort of like how my cat seems to miss me when I'm gone, because when I come home from work she always runs up to me and gives me snuggles. And I miss her when I'm at work, too, and am happy to see her again. It doesn't mean she's not in my life, but just that she is someone important enough to be missed even when they are still around - you just wish they were around more. :) Certainly no bad thing. :D
EDIT: Perhaps consider it less of a "I don't notice when you are around" and more of a "I love that feeling when I see your posts so much that it makes me notice how long it was since you last posted, and sometimes it feels like forever even when it's not."
Congratulation to all the winners! :)
Explaining rationale is all well and good - but, regardless of what the intent behind the nomination was, I really am sorry that this hurt your feelings Mae.
It's never the intention to do so, and I hope that the experience has not left you soured on this dumb ol' place. I also hope that we, as a community, can take this on board going forward to try and avoid this sort of thing (where we can).
Anyway, shall we talk about how terrible Ciddies night without Ciddies to get drunk to is? I've just had to drink of my own volition!
I don't drink so I never had this problem.
It is quite weird with the different timezone, I must admit. xD I find it a nice change though. This is the most hands-off I've ever been with the Ciddies.
I win everything!
okay well at least a bit realistically now come one
*pops in to see if she was voted the official EoFF elf*
*she was*
all is right with the world.
By the way this means that even if I'm playing vidya and not "on" EoFF.
I am
always
watching.
I can't wait til tomorrow for more ciddies!

this is a farce. how can people not even have nominated starlet and I as cutest couple?
It wouldn't have been fair to the other couples. They couldn't handle all dat
There was at least one nomination.
Source: I have all knowledge.
Congrats to all winners :) Enormous thanks to everyone who took the time to nominate me, never had I thought I'd even be nominated but it was a privilege to be part of and very honored as well. You all rock!!!Now go drink up more eggnogs and wait for the ciddies tomorrow you filthy animals! ;) Well! time to go play some MTG with Bert!
That's the call!
That's the game!
And the pain stays the same!
Oh, hey. Ciddies are over. Other people won stuff. There was excitement. Yay, I guess.
tbh underated member ? I feel like the human version of Final Fantasy IX or Final Fantasy V or something =3
Interesting Ciddies so far. Thanks to my sleep schedule, I had zero chance of seeing any of this though, but it is all good. Very entertained by the results and the fact that I actually won one! Cool! This is basically me:

Yes yes, we're all high, that's not the point right now.
Oh are you guys ready for Ciddies? Is that what's going on?
Hey, man, we have to wait for Award Claus to come.
