I Need Your Help!! - Ciddies Speeches

The nominations are out! And now we move onto another stage in the Ciddies.... Speech writing!

With such a prestigious ceremony, I need only the best of you lot to write up some simply smashing speeches to help the flow of the Ciddies ceremony, and help the place go off with a bang! So, if you're interested in helping out then here is the place to sign up!! HOWEVER. I have put in place some rules to make sure this is a fair procedure and everyone gets a chance to write a speech!

• You may only request to write a maximum of 2 speeches at this moment in time.
• You must have written your speech and sent it to me via PM by Monday the 8th of July.

If you don't think you are going to be able to write a speech, that is understandable but please PM me ASAP and don't leave it until the last minute to inform me. If you sign up for it, it is yourresponsibility to let me know that you suddenly can't do it.

Also, if you'd like to PM me your speech request to keep it private, that is absolutely fine!

I have also already considered a few people for certain speeches and I will be probing those individuals in private. Those speeches will be highlighted in GREEN. Please note that a speech which is highlighted in green is not *taken* until it is red. If a speech is green and you want it, you will be first in line to claim it if the user I had in mind does not wish to write it.

A speech which is unavailable will be highlighted in RED.

Speeches I have received and are ready will be highlighted in BLUE.

Could I take write about EoFF in the New York Times please Locky!

I've never written a speech before. I'll make sure to do my best!! :D

~Added in! Locky

(SPOILER)She'll probe you privately

Well, I tell a lie. I did write several speeches for the anniversary ciddies, but they were alot easier. Now, I've got to write about ACTUAL people, some of which I don't really even know that well. I'm sure it'll be fine though. :)

You will do fine Formy!!

Also, if you ask for two speeches, you can ask for more, but only once they are completed. Thought I'd make that clear haha! :D

best thread plskthx

and MLT win ciddie for the first time

~Added in!

Sexiest Male

~Added

I'll take award 45 please.

~Thank you!

best avatar and most helpful pls

I'm actually incredibly nervous about this, but you have to start somewhere, right

~ You're in!

Can I please write a speech for 49. Total their car after swerving to avoid a squirrel? The speeches I saw in the last Ciddies were really cool and I want to try :D :D

~ Thanks for the help!

For those of us who are new, Locky, can you give us links to old speeches so we know what they should look like and therefore whether we're interested?

Yeru: That is a link to past Ciddies. I linked it to a post with one of the speeches. The speeches vary from award to award and person to person. Just go through the threads and you'll see the different styles demonstrated. Hope this helps!

Thanks!

I just had a brilliant idea for 41.

Please give me MLT Be Olenna Tyrell, pleeeeeeeeeease. :3

~Of course!

Most Gulliable, if that's cool. I've got an idea that might work rather well.

~ Donediddily

ok I'm doing Best Admin/Dev :aimsun:

I'll try Best Artist.

~ You're in!

Wittiest Member please.

~ Gotcha

Writing speeches make me realise just how little I know about the members here :(

Thanks guys! keep the requests coming!

I'll do sexiest Female

EDIT: NEVERMIND. It wasn't marked off but it's already being done.

I read that as "sexist female"...

"That's not even a category, Mulley!" I exclaim to you.

"That doesn't mean you can't write about sexist females in your speech!" I exclaim back.

Sexiest female has been taken I'm sorry!

Also, If anyone would like to do more than 2 speeches after they have completed their first 2, please choose an MLT speech for now as they need doing!

I would like MLT Drive Locky Insane By Submitting My Speeches The Day Of CIddies

DONT YOU DARE.

I would like MLT to encourage Tifa's Boobs to MLT Drive Locky Insane By Submitting Her Speeches The Day Of Ciddies.

I would also like MLT Rep Flying Mullet for coming up with MLT to encourage Tifa's Boobs to MLT drive Locky insane by submitting her speeches the day of Ciddies.

I am so confused by all these colours. It looks like there are a lot of speeches left to handle, so I am going to assume the max 2 per person rule is now defunct, and I am going to kindly ask for #50 and #39 because I want Locky to succeed at this without having to write them all herself.

So come on, you slackers, show me your talent. I have read your speeches before and I know you are capable and intelligent and witty and hilarious. PROVE IT.

~ 2 per person only applies until they have sent me 2. People can do as many as they like but I must receive 2 before I'll let them have another. You've done 2 so you can take another 2.

Witty? Hilarious? Eh. Go on then.

I've done my speech (which I've sent to you by the way Locky!) so can I take best article/article series?

~Added

I have been away and I am back but I am drinking tonight and going away again tomorrow to return Sunday. You'll get mine on Sunday. :D

Come on lads and lasses! get volunteering for these speeches! Not many left now and I have some absolute crackers in my inbox!

#32 please.

13 speeches left to be signed off! come on you guys!

I will have mine done by the end of today.

I sent you mine last week but don't see it updated on the list. Making sure you have it.

I submitted mine last night. They're okay.

I'll take one for the team and write #44.

EDIT: And just like that, speech magic happened. :aimsun:

Sorry guys been really busy and sidetracked. Will update the list and everything.

Also, because I don't have time to write a thank you individually to every pm...

THANKS EVERYONE.

#2 gets a little extra time, right?

I'll try to get it to you tonight/tomorrow. :)

EDIT: Sent!

#45 sent.

10 speeches left to sign off, and some I haven't received past the deadline.

Tut tut tuuuuut!!!!! Come on guys!

If things go well, I'll help out tonight with the ones that are needed soonest, Tara. :)

You haven't marked that you got my speech for #24 still. Did you not get it?

I've sent you best article/article series. Granted, I didn't include writing about my article series (Eyes on EoFF) but everything is fully complete and I just don't like writing about myself anyway.

I can send it to you again if you somehow didn't catch it.

got it, just have a flooded inbox right now :lol: Haven't had much time to properly sit down. Will do tonight and get them sent away to Pimpy.

Can I take this one?

47. Become a wealthy, capitalist sweatshop owner

please. then just send it to award pimp.

In fact can everyone just send the speeches to Award Pimp and not me.

Well, those of you who are left to send it. Those who have already sent, I will forward them myself.

Done #47 and sent it to Pimp. Will do my other stuff tonight.

Mark me down for #21 and #40 (with Formy)

I received #47 from BoB. Now the only one I need quickly done today is #48.

If nobody picks it up, I'll see about throwing something together when I'm home and fed (in about 2.5 hours). Hopefully someone will get it written so it won't be something so horribly rushed. xD

I'll send him #21: Best Post.

Faris is taking that.

I didn't see the next page, D'oh! Oh well, I sent it to him anyway. I guess he can use it for his personal amusement.

You can have it, Mulley~ We're working on 40 right now and it's going to take us a while.

I've done my part of Cutest Couple and sent it in, as has smitten.

My speech has been done and sent since yesterday so should be in blue.

Dinner and then speech, unless anyone wants to take #48? :3

EDIT: Got it written. Who do I send it to? Straight to Pimp, or via Locky?

Send it to Pimp.

And yes, Rocket Edge, I got your speech.

Cool, sent it over. If you need any more last minute things, gimme a shout and I'll see how I can help. :}

Right, that's my fifth speech I've contributed to out of the way. I'm needing a wee break from this but the most urgent one at the moment is...

42. MLT Be the victim of Olenna’s next barb

Not to mention those MLT's in red that still aren't in!

I know absolutely nothing about Olenna. :(

everyone to the rescue because I suck :monster:

You did a great job, Tara. :) Appreciate all your hard work!

You don't suck Locky! You did an awesome job! :monster:

I still need speeches for awards 41 and 42 for tomorrow.

I SAID YOU WILL GET IT IN TIME RAISTLIN

I'll do horniest member if it's still untaken.

That one has been done.

Your convention on that first post confuses me just assign me an unassigned one :lol:

EDIT: Green is untaken? Weird. Give me best editor xD

No. You're an Editor you can't do that one :).

You can do Best Blogger/Article Writer though

Gobo isn't a finalist for Best Editor, though, since he's in the Admin/Developer category.

Also, I just wrote something for #42 myself, and just waiting on Boobies' updated #41. Also the list shows Denmark's #38 is done, but I didn't see it in Award Pimp's inbox, if either Locky or Denmark can send that to me.

What Raistlin said. :monster:

I sent 38 to Pimpy. better to have multiples than none :monster:

They were sent in the same message I think.

Also, he may not be in the category but he's still an Editor. I have someone else doing it.

GB: Green doesn't mean it's not taken, green means someone has been 'selected' for it, I think.

These are the ones that I need to get done.

I've got an idea for MLT Get Banned, but my only concern is that I don't know enough about near about everyone on these forums to even make a dent in writing a speech. :(

You don't have to write about each of the nominees formy! A lot of the speeches I received were just funny paragraphs and they were just as epic as any speech which had a bit about the nominees!

So don't write the speech about the person, write it about the concept instead!

I guess I'll take a crack at it. When is the deadline for MLT Get Banned? Is it tomorrow? I doubt it would be today.

Raist, just use what I've sent you.

I assume that means you've finished 41 & 42, Sam? =o

41 and 42 are done (I wrote something quick for 42 myself). Still need the others as soon as possible.

Marked the ones that have been done as in - posted in the revs - in this colour

I can't figure out her API ill just take the blogger/article writer one

Get Banned, I didn't get requested to who I wanted to do it so that's why it's still green on the list, but it's available. In fact I'll change it now

Same for Best blogger

:colbert:

Oh, alrighty then. xD

Locky, I think you need more colors. I'm thinking yellow for partially completed speeches, turquoise for speeches that will be presented today, and pink for speeches written by NeoCracker (or maybe a pale greenish/orange vomit color).

Joking aside, thanks for getting all this done!

I've sent it to Award Pimp. I just need it confirmed (because it is one of those 'controversial' speeches) by Pimp.

MLT Be the Next CK is in red, but I don't see it in my inbox yet (it is possible I missed it, as not all the PMs have the award number/title in the subject :p). Whoever is doing it, please have that to me as soon as possible, as I will be out of town for most of the day tomorrow for a funeral, so may not have much time before presentations.

Have you got the other ones that are for tonight? Because you haven't updated the first post reflecting that and that leaves me a little confused about what still needs to be done.

If people can post saying which speeches are done when they're sent to Award Pimp then I'll keep updating that first post.

PS. I have no clue what Most Honest Member being in that weird underline thing means. xD

I am doing MLT CK Editor Raist.

Worst comes to worst, I can post it in the thread for you.

Also, Most Honest is that one that I think someone sent me but I can't find it.... o.o Something in there about me being a journalist and having a scat fetish :stare: so i'm pretty sure it happened...

Sent in #40 a few days ago :D I thought Pimp would have said something to Locky but I guess he's too busy selling our sisters on the street.

Updaaaaaated~ Gotta say, that speech list is looking pretty tidy right now. Still a fair few needed for Saturday, mind you. Not sure how everyone is getting on with some of those, although I know about a few that are in the works.

Breaking News!

Locky has a scat fetish!

:O

Ach noooooo

Tara, I tried to help you find that speech by running an SQL query searching your PM's for messages containing 'scat', but I got too many results.

I'll tackle #6 - Best Regular.

Have you finished Best Post?

Well Daniel, maybe if you'd stop sending me those mognets you wouldn't have to wade through all the trout to find it.

Yes, Award Pimp has it.

EDIT: And I just sent him Best Regular as well.

Even when he's not running the Ciddies, Loony BoB is running the Ciddies.

It's in his blood. It's his destiny.

Just as writing Ciddies speeches is in Jiro's blood.

Do you still need best FF forums poster?

Pretty sure that's the case, yeah.

I have everything for tonight, though still need a few for Saturday. But I noticed that Cutest Couple is in blue, whereas I think I only have part of that one.

That best member speech was excellent.

That's what she said!

Most of the speeches left in red are the ones I am writing.

I would have had them done but I have been busy - Edinburgh, Moving house, and with the added stress of my Granny in hospital - amongst all the Aussie stuff!

Probably not the best timing for me to be organising speeches really, but alas these things happen and I think I've done okay regardless! My speeches will be on time though, in fact I'll probably get the rest done tomorrow.

It was a joke I'm sorry :(
I loved your speech last year please do it again :(

haven't checked this thread at all

If you guys need any help at all, you can throw 2-3 speeches my way. I would prefer that they aren't for awards that will be revealed today because I'm at work and I don't think I can get much done in an hour and a half.

But I'm here to help if you need me at the eleventh hour!

Locky, on your list Best Chatter (#19) is in blue, but I can't find it. I believe that's the only non-red speech I don't have.

I still need all of the speeches listed in red, except Cutest Couple and Most Honest (which are turned in). Sarah, you might be able to help with those (supposedly all of them are being written by someone, but some of those might like your help).

Please try to have all speeches to ASAP so I can include them in my posts.

edit: er, wait, I misunderstood your post.

In red? But this is what it says in the first post:

Quote:

---

A speech which is unavailable will be highlighted in RED.

Anyway, whoever needs help, contact me and let me know!

:p

okay, thank you, ass :p

He may regret it in the morning but Most Honest Member speech has been submitted!

I just noticed that the Best Signature speech is not completed, in that it doesn't mention everyone. Have you received anything else, Locky?

Nevermind! Proto just sent me an updated, complete one.

Holler if you need another from me.

I still need speeches for the following:

1. Best Member
4. Best Editor
5. Best Veteran
8. Sexiest Male
14. Best Writer
15. Best General Forums Poster
18. Best Blogger/Article Writer
31. Most Emotional

As I said, someone is supposedly writing these speeches, though I have not heard from them, and there's only one night left before the revelations. You should definitely try to get in touch with the originally assigned author (if one's listed) before writing, but otherwise we're getting close to the point where any speeches not done without me having heard from the original author are fair game.

Those are all my speeches, apart from Sexiest Male and Best Editor!

You will have them today Raistlin. I am going out this afternoon, but they will be done, dont'cha sweat it :jess:

SEXIEST MALE WILL BE DONE

AS I HAVE SAID

I AM DOING IT AFTER BREAKY

GOOD LORD, WESLEY

I'll make sure she gets it done before I allow her to start drinking

When you devote 3 weeks to an event, then you can whine about people not submitting things until the last second. :p

I've received Most Emotional, and I'm told someone is working on all of the other speeches, though I don't know about Best Blogger/Article Writer.

RAISTLING GET OFF OUR BACKS DAMN

Denmark has exiled me outside to write my speech right now. :(
