Ciddies Speeches ahoy!

It's time for Ciddies Speeches. The disappointing level of participation last time meant I had to write or co-write 26 - over half of the total speeches - so this time I'm in charge and I'm not doing a damn thing. It's time for you to step up to the plate and show us what you're made of. Are you a bad enough dude to write some speeches? I hope so, because if the Ciddies revelations goes without speeches, it's trout for everybody.

The colour Red will represent that the category is claimed. Green will be completed. Get to claiming and writing! Try to avoid the ones you're in if you can. You'll also only be able to take a maximum of two speeches at once, so get yours done and in early if you want any more.

NOTE: Send your speeches to me via Mognet Message so I can update this list and know what is needed and what is not. Posting in here to choose your speeches and let me know when they're done is good too.

You can take it if you want, we can swap.

I'll take 12, 26 and 41 for now.

Can I do a speech for Cutest Couple? :3

You most certainly can! :aimkiss:

I'll take Best Male and Most Underrated.

I'll do Best CK and Funniest.

Sent in the speech for MLT Get Banned, will do another if desired.

Best chatter speech is finished. And yeah, doing the speech live tends to require being there, but thanks for keeping me in line, Attitude Jiro. :roll2

I was under the impression you were going to write it live in chat. In any case, I was simply reminding you of your obligations. If you're not there, I'm going to sackwhack you.

Mark met down for whatever you want Dak.

Quite fine, old chap. :holmes::holmes:

Best Administrator/Developer/Tech Admin done and sent

Uh, Jiro, I said I'll do Best CK, not MLT be the next CK. :p I'm a nominee for the latter, though I could do that one too.

Jiro, my broadband and land line committed suicide so I may be late getting my speeches to you. They're written, just need to be edited.

Sorry, my mistake xD

For those not aware, anyone who completes at least one speech gets a Level 7 Triple Triad card as a thankyou for getting involved. So make sure you complete at least one!

Also, I'm delighted with how many people are doing speeches this time, I look forward to seeing them. :D

I'll do most likely to be black mage

I'll take up the Best Artist speech

Best Artist as well for me.

Edit: Wait, didn't see it's just been taken.

I'll take Weirdest Member instead. Sorry kotora. :)

Give me number 45.

I WILL DO CUTEST FEMALE, but somebody needs to forward me their pictures. :jokey:

Into my PM box, c'mon y'all. You know I ain't got time to look for this trout myself.

Sent in Cutest Male. Now to finish Best Member...

If no one has taken it I will enjoy writing a brief speech for number 46: Make disturbingly erotic grunts whenever doing everyday tasks. If it has been taken I will do Most Likely To Get Together.

Green means taken :monster: List updated, get to it guys. All speeches please in by Friday at the latest!

Dude, I was serious about writing that speech. :(

Yes and your name is beside it. Go and do it!

I'll take best female while we are at it.

I'll take MLT Be Fighter.

I wil do #31 and 39 then. Wait I see you gave 39 away and that was the one I really wanted to do so not doing any now. /pouts in a corner

So yeah next time ask me which ones out of the three ;)

I think I said I'd do speeches 26 and 41. First page doesn't show that though and I've nearly finished both!

Next time you should read the guidelines :greenie: I'm happy to have two speeches for that category, go ahead and write it if you wish!

I did not see your edit text. I will take care of Sexiest Female as well then! Send them in, dear sir.

Next time you should lick my robot.

I will still do #31 but cannot do #7 as I would like to get everything in by today.

I'll take Nicest Member as well!

Sent in my next one :)

Rather then read the thread, whats left? I'll happily pitch in for some of the speeches if I know enough of the posters to write about it. :p

sent my one in, let me know if you want any edits doing or if there's anything else I can do to help. I have like a day off tomorrow I can spend helping mop up on.

I pity whoever gets to deal with the coding in my Best Thread speech because I went a little overboard :spin:

lmao you frame breaking again? Also very strange to write a speech where 1/3rd of the nominations are... you.

Nope, at least I hope not! Just lots of colours, specific spacing, and a table :spin:

The non-red and non-green categories are the ones left. There aren't many left, but I would deeply appreciate anybody who gets onto them for me! I'm going to have to start chasing down all these red speeches that haven't been submitted too, because time is starting to tick away from us!

Had a bit of a busy week but you'll have mine in by Sunday at the very latest. Hopefully by tomorrow though.

It needs to be done by EoD tomorrow, when BoB announces the winners.

Looking over the whites, but I don't want to commit to anything until it's already written with the deadline this close. No sense reserving a speech when someone else might write it faster.

Revelations are supposed to start GMT Saturday some time so I hope speed is on your side!

Also, yeah, like Citizen Bleys says, if you want to work on a speech between now and Revelations without the pressure, just send whatever you have through as soon as you're "done" or "give up" or whatever so I at least have something to work with when I have to bring us back up to speed.

Depending on how long I have to be at work today I'll try to hammer out a couple of the unclaimed speeches for you today, Dak. I'm not going to claim anything specific right now because it really depends on whether or not work is gonna be a bitch today, but hopefully I can deliver.

Got a couple more anonymous claimants, which was nice!

Give me Best Editor.

Right OK. They'll both be done by end of Friday.

I should be done with both of my speeches tonight. Tomorrow afternoon at the latest. This is my first time writing a speech, so I want it to be good.

Just sent in 47. Sacrifice himself to save the world, still having a look at the other whites to see if I can come up with something.

Better dreck than nought, right?

EDIT: Coming up blank on everything I haven't already written for.

doneskis, sending mine in now

sent in best girl.

Only Most Helpful remains. You know, that's kind of ironic.

I will get to my speech tomorrow. That's not too late is it?

Goddammit, I told you not to tell anyone I'd done anything for #48 in case someone came up with a speech that doesn't smurfing suck.

I swear, if I do come up with something for Most Helpful, I'm gonna bloody swear you to secrecy before I send it in.

i also sent in most missed with the best custom rank! it was a lot shorter and not as good but it was in the same PM (down at the bottom)

Well, the nominees are supposed to avoid it, so it makes sense.

Bleys, your trout doesn't stink, and I don't even care if it does. I need speeches in and with a bunch still red, I would prefer not to write many during the revelations this time.

Rantz, a true helpful member goes above and beyond the call of duty, even breaking guidelines in the pursuit of helping people.

If you need me to write anything pop me off a PM and I'll do what I can. This includes the speeches in red that may not get done.

Aww Pike you're a darling <3 I'm going to give you kids as long as I can to get these speeches in but in approximately 10 hours I am going to wake up and hound you like a demon.

Expect Best Editor to be sent around 12-13 hours from now.

This is all I read.

Actually, I lie. I read that you're going to do this as long as you can. That's a lotta baby making.

I wouldn't say no to that, imo.

Goldenboko, Pike and Citizen Bleys: if any of these speeches marked red are not handed in, I will be relying on you (and anyone else who wants to put their hand up) to help me get them out. If you want to make a list of your preferred ones, I'll make sure I give the speeches to someone who has ideas on how to run it, as opposed to just throwing them out randomly ;)

Still got time, but I am begging you guys to get your speeches in because it is my absolute favourite part.

Well, I had to buy a new computer today. Hopefully I can recover the almost done speech I had. :monster:

I wouldn't mind doing some extras! :D

:aimkiss:

I'm just going to start improvising and sending in speeches that are still marked in red. They'll be hasty and they might suck, but at least you'll have something as a backup should worst come to worst.

OKAY WORKING ON MINE NOW :3

I'm almost done with Best Member, so I'll have that in a bit.

Starting mine now. Won't let you down <3

Evilest member done. My final one will be on it's way in the next few hours!

Finally sent Best Member in. My original speech idea had some technical difficulties associated with it, so I hope you guys like this one.

Sent in some "backup speeches" for things that were still in the red. Feel free to disregard them if the actual speechwriters come through!

Speech in!

Updated first post. 12 to go!

Which ones have yet to be done? I can tackle if you want.

All these people trying to pitch in and help a bro out :love: Great work everyone! We've got your back, Jiro. Let us know what you need done.

Most Helpful Member is still white for those of you still wanting to write more? :3

EDIT: nm Bleys confirmed completion below

I'll be doing my speeches soon. Possibly while intoxicated.

Sent in Most Helpful Member. Leaving the reds to their existing claimants and playing some FFXI now. I've had less game-time this weekend (Thur/Fri are my days off) than I did during NaNoWriMo.

Leave my reds, they're getting handed in.

Sexiest Male sent! Nicest Member within the next few hours!

most likely to be black mage is giving me some troubles. If someone wants to make a speech for it, and then if I can finish mine, they can show both. Or just yours, which I garuntee will be better than what I have so far.

I wrote one as a backup, it's the weakest of my backup speeches so far, though. xD

Just post that video of Black Waltz #3 destroying the airship as the speech.

Nicest Member is in! :D

Six left in red! Bubba, Shorty and Raistlin have confirmed they will be submitting theirs. I have not heard from Shiny! Pike has already submitted a backup for Most Mysterious, but I could use two for added enjoyment :monster:

I'm proud of you guys. Look at what you've accomplished here!

I'm so proud of myself for writing one, guys. Is anyone else proud of me? I need validation.

sent nicest member too. what gives?!

Just saw this was marked green now. I claimed it back on page 2, but I don't think it got noted! Oh well, no harm in having two speeches I suppose. Mine will be submitted shortly.

I'm super proud of Clo. Wish she was my daughter tbh.

I've had Nicest Member claimed for a couple of days, and when I claimed it, it was white with no name. :confused:

Oh yeah I didn't even notice you'd claimed it, I was too busy noticing the Best Chatter Speech. Two speeches is great. I'd prefer two speeches for all of them imo!

I certainly don't want to steal Jowy's thunder if he had already claimed it. You don't have to use my speech.

STEP ASIIIIIIIIIIIIDE

walk this way

you and me babe

hey hey hey

How long do I have before the cut off?

Thanks for the cover pike. I can't get my scanner to work. :(

Best CK and Funniest member have been sent in.

Updated first post. 4 speeches left. good job all!

So excited to see these!!! :) :) :)

If speeches are doubled up on, they are both used. You're all working so hard and the quality is great. If you all sent me extra speeches that are already done, I'd still use them. I'm just proud of you all!

If anyone is interested in helping BoB put together some pre-Ciddies banter/speeches (which will be read out by the award presenters, eg. Rinoa Heartilly will present the Best Villain award, etc.) for the 25th Anniversary Ciddies, please get in touch with BoB or myself ASAP.
