Best Ciddies Speeches

There have been some top quality speeches this time around! Jiro wrote a massive amount, but nonetheless, he couldn't do every speech without the help of several others! I'm going to do a little celebration awards dedicated to the Speeches of the Summer Ciddies! There's only going to be 3 awards up for grabs, and every speech are the nominees (along with every speechwriters up for the Best Speechwriter award) Before we move along, I have the entire list of speeches written along the speechwriter(s) listed as well for your convenience when voting.

Some rules before we start.

1. Send your votes to me. They will be kept private until revealed on Monday, so you have the entire weekend to send your votes!
2. Don't reveal which speech you voted for, but you can still discuss which speeches you really enjoyed and whatnot. This is a thread dedicated to the speeches!
3. Have fun!

Now, the Speech Awards!

1. Best Speech
2. Funniest Speech
3. Best Speechwriter (Please vote in a similar fashion to how voting was done for Best Member. Rank them 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.)

I shall complete this and send in my votes before the weekend is out!

Excellent!

Gives me a chance to watch Most Hardcore Gamer again.

Relive all your favourite moments!

Work is slower than I thought, so I sent mine in already.

Also, I am once glad people like the video speech I put together for Jiro!

Sent in my votes. I would like to remind everyone of two early great speeches: Bubba's MLT Become a Space Miner and Del's MLT Win a Ciddie for the Very Last Time.

Voted.

Off to a good start! No clear view of any possible winners yet considering that I only received 4 votes so far. xD

I do want to add that every speech is top notch quality!

My "Funniest Member" speech was smurfing horribly lazy, don't lie to yourself

Come on guys, lets get some more votes in!

Voted, although I find it hard to vote for Best Speech.

Same with me. But at least when I was at work my face looked like I was concentrating on work really hard while posting yesterday as a result of my inner conflict of choosing the best speech!

I have voted!

Only ten votes in so far! There's still plenty of time to send in your votes and I could use a couple more votes!

It'll stay open until I reveal the winners tomorrow. So as long as the winners are not announced, the votes will be open.

Up to the minute revelations, I like that!

A certain pair of Boobs have not yet voted like promised! However, voting is still open for the time being until I get a respectable number of votes. So send in any if you haven't and want to see a winning speech take one of the awards!

OKAY WELL I HAVE A LIFE AND A FULL TIME JOB TYVM


voting now

Are there going to be any more votes soon? I'll keep this open for a couple more hours then. Results will be immediately revealed when I close them.

Eh, looks like my name has been changed!

Anyway, looks like I'll go reveal the winning speeches and speechwriters. Let's get it on.

I'll present all the awards in one post, so everyone can comment afterward if their favorite speech made it or not...

Starting off with Funniest Speech.

There you have it! Did the right speeches win or not? And congrats to Jiro for winning Best Speechwriter. He pretty much won it for writing almost every speech there is! Quite impressive!

MLT Win a Ciddie for the Last Time is listed twice on Best Speech. Also why are there so many more votes for Best Speechwriter?

Anyway, congrats to the best speeches and writers! Jiro wins this by default by writing 90% of the speeches, but I do think bubba and Proto wrote some quality stuff. You guys should do more next time.

I'm a bit disappointed in Hardcore Gamer winning funniest speech. I found that one more...odd than funny. I think bubba's Space Miner speech was the funniest.

Well I must say I'm chuffed because those results are exactly how I voted. There really were some quality speeches this time and I'm hoping all you talented pricks will double your loads next time so I don't have to write so many :p

Yeah, the ranked votes had something to do with that, Del.

Oh sorry about that. I messed up while I was preparing the post. Your speech was supposed to win Funniest Speech and the video was supposed to win Best Speech. Again, I'm sorry.

Who voted for me? Was it for calling Shlup dirty?

And how did MLT Win a Ciddie for the Very Last Time get both 1 vote and 6 votes for Best Speech? :p I think the 1 vote might have been for Funniest Speech instead, which I think is what I voted it for. EDIT: Nevermind, after the correction it all makes sense.

Bubba, unfortunately, got shafted by people splitting the votes.

Alright, the results make more sense now. :up:

That video was certainly impressive for what it was.

I'm more than happy with that. Cheers Del and Raist for your support! There was lots of great speeches this year. I will aim to double my quota in December. If only to prevent Jiro suffering from a minor stroke or something...

Great work to all involved!

I got two votes? Thanks guys, but Jiro wrote the script to the video I made! I simply put it together per his instructions. The only thing I thought of was the thunder and nuclear explosion clips and how it was paced. Again, thanks for the votes! That whole night was one of the best times I have had on here!

To be fair, that first one was more an aneurysm
