Past Ciddies...

In it's defence, I would like to mention that I find "Most Immature Member" to be a perfectly valid catagory.

I've been thinking about it, and just incase you don't have enough options (which I can see that you do):

Most Colorful Member
Worst English
Most Likely to Really be a Prince/Princess
Most Likely to have a Sitcom Based on their Life
Most Likely to Swallow a Lightbulb
Most Likely to Have Escaped from the Zoo

I should also mention that I didn't go through these lists and lists of suggestions, so most of mine are probably repeats. Just trying to help. ;)

Actually, Shlup, I don’t think any of those have been suggested yet. I couldn’t even find anything close to “Worst English” — there was “Uses Stupid Internet Slang,” but I think that was the closest we had.

To these I’d add “Best Engrish” (yes, best Engrish) and “Most likely to cavort naked in a public place,” which actually seems likely for one EoFFer, given the nature of many of the person’s posts. (No names).

Peace
The Man

That should be "Cutest Couple." "Most Cutest" is glaringly redundant. Change it before I KILL YOU.

Heh... What are you talking about? =o

aww...but you didn't include 'most likely to get together!' there goes my 'Loony BoB & Wyllius' vote...it's a shame...they could have called their child WylliBoB...or Loonyus...sigh.

Aww, Kishi, what are you doing? You missed "Most sexiest male" and "Most sexiest female". That is also glaringly redundant. *has no idea what redundant means and is too lazy to look it up*

Change it before I KILL YOU. *is too lazy to do vB code*

Edit: Oh wait... I asked what redundant means... something repeated? I thought it was the grammar mistake. Forget what I said...

I hate to rip-off Kishi so directly, but...

Proto...need we really write our award titles in Moron?

As stated, you'd really better change these, or the authorities of whatever state you live in may be discovering your rotting corpse in the near future :)

I had faith that he would fix the others if only I pointed out one of the erroneous. Unfortunately, Proto is anything but trustworthy.

My egocentric responses:

Standard Categories

OOC:	EDIT by BoB: Wow, that was a classic case of what NOT to do in a competition - even if it hasn't started yet. >=P See rules that are at the base of the page, eh? Cheers.

Most Posts in the Past Two Months — The Man, by a margin of about a thousand

Now now, Mr. Man, we haven't started voting yet. and when we do, it certainly won't be in the thread for all to see, though your overdose on self-love today sure is charming.

Kishi...he's fixed it now, but I'd suggest a large blunt weapon if he shows signs of it again. Oh, and Proto, "most unique" is also very common, and ridiculously redundant. Steer clear of that one. Yeesh...

Got it. :P We won't be voting any time soon for the Ciddies. So, wait about a month, will ya?

The Man makes my eyes hurt. *goes to get her glasses*

Lets just give all the awards to Kishi. It's easier that way.

Now, can someone remind me of all the rules? Shame the last Ciddie's thread has been lost =/ Ah well.

Now, here's what I recall - feel free to suggest adjustments and/or remind me of what I've missed.

Rule #1 - You can nominate yourself for no more than two awards.
Rule #2 - You can nominate any one member for no more than five awards.
Rule #3 - Do not post your nominations - PM them.
Rule #4 - PM nominations to Award Guy, not Loony BoB.
Rule #5 - PM your nominations by the closing date. (not yet known, of course)
Rule #6 - Do not spam up the Ciddies Thread with self-advertising.
Rule # 7 - You can not nominate more than one person per award. If you do, I'll take the first one you've nominated.
Rule #8 - You can't be nominated for avatar, custom rank and/or sig if you do not have an avatar, custom rank and/or sig.
Rule #9 - You can change your avatar, custom rank and/or sig during nominations and finals. This shouldn't cause any major issues, as you can only earn what awards you recieve, be the votes late or early, that's your problem.
Rule #10 - Changes can be made once, and additions can be made however often you like. Please title any PM's with Changes as 'Nomination Changes' or 'Vote Changes', and the same for additions (only 'Additions' should replace 'Changes' in the title. Duh).
Rule #11 - You can only be nominated/voted for one of the 'rank-categorized-awards'. Best Admin, Cid's Knight and Recognized Member have automatic entry for all of the obvious included members. All other people with custom ranks are considered veterans, and all other members are either regulars or newbies. Regular Members are those who have joined over 3 months ago, and Newbies have to have joined less than 3 months ago. Exactly 3 months? Ehhh... Newbie. And this goes from exactly 3 months from the time nominations opened, not when you decide to nominate.

*deep breath*

Also - You don't have to make nominations for every award.
Also - The Cutest Couple award does not count into the five nominations for another member of your choice, but it does count towards your two self-nominations.
Also - All nominations are strictly confidential - the only people with access to the Award Guy account are Daryl and Loony BoB, and Daryl will only use the account if instructed to do so (ie, if some disaster occurs and I need to send out dozens of PM's to all the members that have already nominated/voted, as the case was last time).
In addition to that - You can not post your nominations or votes until after the final voting has occurred - a thread will be made for them a bit after the results are shown.
Also - To be nominated into the second round for an award, a member must obtain two nominations in that award. However, should eight members all recieve three nominations, then the cut-off will be raised to three nominations, and the same for four members recieving four nominations each, and so on.
Also - Let's keep it fun :)


Final voting had different rules, and I'll get around to them when the time comes

Meh, I was slightly confused when Kishi posted what I now presume to be last year’s list. Sorry about that. I was only half-serious when I posted my own list anyway. *runs away*

OOC:

While we’re on the subject, is there any particular reason that old threads in the Feedback Forum automatically self-destruct? While they perhaps should be closed, it might be a better idea to leave them around for posterity and the sake of reference. If I had known the rules, that would never have happened in the first place, and we’d probably also have had the old Ciddies in the first place. And I can’t imagine that those old threads would take up much bandwidth. *should probably start a new thread about this, but that would destroy an old one*

Peace
The Man

The last Ciddies didn't make the cut-off when the entire Forums were set so threads older than 3 months were automatically deleted =/

Don't worry, you know now, as will others :) No problems.

How about:

Most and least serious member.
Most underrated member.
Most likely to make a second name and terrorize us all.
Most likely to 'leave the board forever' then come back the next week.

I'll also try to think *best enforcer* of some other *best enforcer* categories, but none *best enforcer* come to mind right now.

BoB, I like to help out with the Ciddies this time, if I have time for it. =o heh.

w00t! Something I semi-suggested got in. So.. when do we get to start voting etc. *notes the Ciddies seem to take quite long*
