Winter Ciddies - Speech Thread!

OK slackers, get your arses in here and get writing some top quality speeches!

If you feel like writing one (you do) then simply post in the thread and I'll put your name next to it. If you're unsure how to approach writing a speech just remember there is no set way! You can break down the nominees individually, post pictures, do an audio speech or even a simple paragraph about the award. The choice is yours!

Claimed speeches will be in pink
Completed speeches will be in green

If you can get all the speeches over to me by 5pm US Central time (11pm UK time) on the 9th December 2016. We'll be all ready to go then on 10th December!

Thanks in advance, guys and gals!

Attachment 71112

I'll pop in later in the week and bang out as many as needed.

I cannot promise anything, but I should have a few hours on Friday to hammer out some speeches.

I will get mine done tomorrow or tonight - and like Shauna I will have spare time on Friday to hammer some out too if required!

Brill, no worries! We always muddle through somehow anyway :D

I'll be grabbing any missing ones at the end anyway. If we focus on the higher numbers so Queen Award, First of her Name will have the first half of the Ciddies all ready to go. Thanks again, everyone!

Sent in Next Staff.

Give me best artist, I'll try to whip something up.

EDIT: Wow, you guys seriously need more speeches taken. Then give me Cutest Couple, Best Regular, Best Veteran, Best Newbie, Funniest, Happiest, Craziest, Most Hardcore Gamer and Best FF Poster. Let me know if no one takes Best Writer - it's one that I don't want to claim right away since I'm nominated for that one, but I'll take it if no one else does (which I rally hope that someone will!). I'll have them by tomorrow the latest, promise.

And #44 in as well.

Ah, trout, add Best Avatar to that.

I'll take 36. Take the Iron Throne for now.

Edit - Sent

And #47 is in too!

I'll also take 43. Be an Acerbic Old Woman Who Tells Everyone Off

Best Staffer, please

Best artist sent

Look at you all go, your Queen is so proud. :love:

Looks like I'm not going over able to get much done this time with speeches. Have a big exam tomorrow on Galois theory and I need this exam for my masters. I'll try to get one or two out.

Couldn't find the time to write more today, but I'll deliver them on time tomorrow. I should be back from gym at around 11am GMT, so I expect that should be early enough? Considering my speeches are all in the later part of the ceremony

Ooooh. I was going to play video games this evening, but I can do that tomorrow.

Can I take Most Thought-Provoking Member, Best Let's Play and No. 33?

You certainly can, Formy!

Had a bit of an emergency today but thanks everyone for getting to work. You are all amazing :D

I can try one. Just tell me what you want with it. Would love to help if I can.

Give me speech 50, 46 and 42. I can bash those out for the ceremony starting time!

Thanks everyone for your contributions so far! There are still plenty of speeches to be claimed so if you're awake and reading this post then get one claimed!

We're very close to Ciddies start time!

I'll get my last 3 done as soon as I can Bubster.

I'm just feeling a bit hayfevery and drained. Not sure if I can grab anymore awards speeches.

I'll do 39!

I'll do 32

Send 32 to her royal highness first of her name.

No problem. I can do more if needed just tell me which ones to do. Not great at them but am always willing to help.

Thanks a lot man, it's appreciated!

Good work, Nutty! Thanks for picking up the slack!

And they've all been really good so far! Where have you been all these Ciddies before?

Wasn't sure what was really wanted, once I read one I knew what to do. But they do get worse. Used up all my A material.

I'll do 8!

I'll work on 15

15 is finished.

I've sent 8 if it's ok

It's great thanks!

All speeches are claimed! I cannot thank you all enough for your efforts!

I was happy to help out! Hope you guys enjoyed my mediocrity in the written word.

Sorry again I couldn't bang any out this time. :shobon:The good news is I'm confident I passed my exam today.
