Speeches! (2010 end year Ciddies)

For those new to the Ciddies: Each category, before presented, is usually introduced with a blurb - anything from a short paragraph to a full long speech - to warm up. Usually it says something about the award and what it means, and/or presents the nominees. If you're up for it, saying something about the nominees is usually much appreciated! That's just what most people do, though. It's free form and anything you can think of is probably good :D

Try not to claim a category you're nominated in unless nobody else will take it, and don't claim more than one or two speeches at a time. When you've turned those in, you can keep going if you're up for it!

Here are the categories! Red are unclaimed, yellow are in progress, and green are done! Yay!

Get to claiming what you think you can handle! Even a short speech is more entertaining than no speech at all, so let's try to cover as much as we can :D PM the speeches either to me or to Award Cerberus when you're done!

I'll take Best Male, Nicest Member, and MLT to be on the Naughty List.

Awesome :D I'll put you down for the lower two and if you have time to do both you can claim Best Male when those are done!

Can I do sexiest male? :D

That strikes me as a natural fact! You've got it.

Doll me up, sweetie, I need all the help I can get. <3

I'll take Best Admin. I'm up for most of the other awards I'd be interested in doing, but I'll claim some of them later if no one else does.

You've got it. I'll claim MLT successfully hijack Santa's sleigh for myself.

I still can't believe nikotine didn't get nominated for that.

I'll take Best Custom Rank, Best Spammer, Most Underrated, and MLT Get Banned to start with.

Awesome, Eric. :D With so few speeches claimed yet, I might as well let you claim more than two. I'll put Laddy down for Best Male as well. We'll see how things go!

Whoops, I didn't see that you put a limit on how many we could do. I promise I can finish those and more if needed. :D

Nicest Member is done.

Most Powerful please. When's our due date?

Great! Thanks Laddy for the speech!

Votes close on the 29th (americatime), and revelations will probably start soon after that. So due date is soon!

I'm about half done with Best Male and almost done with MLT to be on the Naughty List.

Mind if I take Best Avatar AND Best Signature? :D

Not at all! :)

Oh crap I forgot to do Best Admin last night. I'll do it shortly.

Okay folks! We have a due date for those speeches. Be sure to have them ready on Dec. 30th! Send your finished speeches to Rantzien or us (Just Rantzien!) as we prepare for the revelations! We're sure everyone will be excited and anticipating this great event!

I could do a speech as WARRIOR, if someone wants me to.

Yes, please do! :D:wacky::D

Which one?

We think seeing WARRIOR compare each nominee for Evilest Member to HO KOGAN would be amazing to see.

I'll take #22, #28, and #92.

I'll work on it, and finish it tomorrow.

Holy stevebagging, this'll be a poopload of time in scripting. Could you have more nominees? xD

This'll take all the concentration WARRIOR had in his entire career. Better get started.

Wonderful, guys! I was especially worried that nobody would do a speech for #92 (Worst Smelling Member), so thanks Shiny :D

I don't want to do #29. I clearly said #92 you molding smelly toejam. Is that evil enough?

Best admin is done.

Got a few more speeches in, some from a secret combatant!

Finally done scripting. Jeesh, I've written shorter essays. Why the hell does it have 10 nominations?

21. Best Spammer - Guardian XIII

I expect great things from the beard King.

What do you mean Sir Lancelot?

It appears we're falling behind in schedule with the revelations. Our new plan? We're going to give an extra day to prepare, so let's get some more speeches done!

What do we do with the red ? Can I just put pucchipucchipucchimushroommushroom over and over and we can be done?

I sent a few in. That's me done. I would like to do more, but I'm so hungover it's not even funny.

Jiro, we're writing one together again, which one?

Pick one, and you lead. I've exhausted my creativity, but maybe I can tag along if you have ideas. Mind you I've done a few that aren't marked.

You lead and use my creativity, that's the usual plan.
Or I lead using your ideas and my creativity.
Probably best thing to do would be to talk to you, hold on.

There I did 7 more!

Wonderful :D We're getting there!

Freya and GXIII combined are the new Tavrobel minus the cynicism.

I see mine still haven't been ticked off :p We're closer than you think!

I haven't received notice of any Jiro speeches! Which ones did you finish?

33, 39 and 43. Which means we have double ups, though I suppose that's good in a way.

EDIT: Oh and 48. I forgot that one.

EDIT2: Ding 41 is done.

EDIT3: 44 done and dusted.

EDIT4: OH GOD 45 IS DONE.

EDIT5: 49 is a good one guys :)

lawl, just got the reminder. Sorry I can't do the speeches. Busy at the moment. Feel free to beat on ShlupQuack for my indolence.
