The guy/gal who gets this is the Best Member for a whole six months, during which they will be treated like the god they are. Now, before we move on, let’s take a quick look at the folks who have gotten this Ciddie before today, in a little segment I call “A look back on EoFF’s Best Members”.
Since this is both the final announced award, the biggest award, and the most coveted, the past winners of this Ciddie are some pretty big names around here. Cid, Acmlm, Nino Brown, and Scottie all took this back when these were known as The EoFF Awards, which is typically way to far back to care to remember. Then came the first official Ciddies. For a great while the good Dr Unne looked to be pulling a Juggernaut, taking the award an unprecedented five consecutive time over the course of two and a half years. However, the winds of fate are fickle indeed. December of 2003 saw the good doctor sitting back in 5th place, with Loony BoB taking his first win, only to forfeit it to Del Murder the next time. This was followed by a four Ciddies steak for BoB, giving him the same number as Dr Unne, only without the streak. Last Ciddies everyone eagerly watch and waited to BoB would join Unne, but many were shocked when Christmas took the prize instead. This Ciddies the nominations for this award have been a bit of a surprise, hosting Levian and Psychotic as the only staff members, down from the usual several. The rest are a slew of regular forums members, ranging from “newbies” to old slats All of these fine folks have made it past the grueling nomination step, making it here. Before we get to the actual award (and to buy AG some down time while you read the rest of this), here’s some info regard your nominees.
Defender of her crown this time, Christmas is most likely known for her endearing and magical art style, her little blue waving avatar, and her HATE of a certain Star Wars old man(us). She has burst onto the scene even more in the past six months, regaling members with personalized Paint art and stories of the woeful life of Old Manus, who apparently lives somewhere near the ninth circle of Hell if her drawings are any indication. Will she win this Ciddie again this time, starting a potential Unne-rivaling streak? No one knows except Award Guy.
Agrias is one of our resident Greeks. Though now residing in the Great Maple Tree Forests of Canada, she still provides us all with a unique perspective. A very talented artist, Agrias has become well known for her kind demeanor as well as skills with a pencil. She also likes to sing karaoke when she’s drunk, acting and occasionally telling stories to children who are dumb enough to listen. No word on whether this is all at one time or not. She is also a proud member of the Beautiful Overly Obstinate Babes Society. Still, will any of this sway voters to her side?
Bunny. What a crazy, uh, ? that person is. Quite possibly one of the most well known members on the site, Bunny has been here a mere ten months. Yet in that time he/she has achieved an amazing level of recognition among the forums denizens, and it’s not for doing stupid things like others have. No, Bunny has gotten this far mainly through the use of wit and humor, if not that then randomness and a furious passion. While this Badass King of Carrot Flowers be able to take home this Ciddie?
Jowy is a chatting machine. Or so I’m told. I for one never step foot into that horrible place known as Chat, but from the looks of things Jowy spends more time in there then on the forums. o_O. Anyway, Eric has been here for quite some time, and apparently he has managed to get pregnant with Misfit’s children while here. I blame chat for this, along with the reason as to why he overuses the <3 emoticon thing. Still, with the Army of Chat standing behind him, Jowy ahs a good chance of pulling this Ciddie off.
Someone is feeling self-reliant. Not only does I Don’t Need A Name not need a name, but he also needs little else apparently. I mean, he dun need a custom title or location, so who know what else he doesn’t need. Perhaps food. Maybe oxygen. Who knows. I only wish that I was as independent and strong willed as this bull of a man. With plenty of backers voting for him, IDNAN could very well get this award, which he most likely doesn’t need also.
Maybe it’s just me, but hearing the phrase I’m My Own MILF prompts one of three physical responses. Either I’m aroused, disturbed, or thinking about this next nominee, in which case it’s the previous two responses combined. An apple murderer with a tentacle fetish, MILFy is possibly best known for his phrase “Initiate HuxDDD!”, or something to that effect. Still, Huxley is quite an excellent fellow, pulling in the Best Poster Ciddie a year ago. Can he take this one now?
Meat Puppet is an extremely secretive fellow. Any information you want to get about this guy must be obtained not from him, but by PMing various other members. Why is he this guarded? No one knows, but what is known is that he is quite a popular member, and has been for some time. He also helps in keeping the EoFF Wiki both tidy and helpful. Fresh off two MLT Become a CK Ciddies in a row, Meat Puppet is certainly a force to be reckoned with for this Ciddie.
GoldenBoko is another one of the fairly new members. Becoming most famous for his “Playin’s”, which take Final Fantasy characters and throw them in funny/odd situations. Aside from that, Boko has also founded the Chocobo Lovers Club, and is planning to rule the world with an army of chocobos. Despite this, many people seem to support him. Maybe they’re chocobos also. Regardless, the chance that he will win this award seems to be good, so don’t count out this EoFF yearling yet.
Christmas hates Old Manus, and everyone loves Christmas, so that means… something. Whatever, the point is, Old Manus is up for this award, and the fact that his archrival both won it last year and is in the running this year must make his blood boil (side note: can you imagine how much that would hurt?). Still, Manus has a good chance of taking the crown, having remained a popular fixture of EoFF for many years. His support certainly seems higher this year then most, so we’ll have to see if the epic struggle between him and our current titleholder affects things.
Pualie Paulie Paulie. Known more commonly as [b]Psychotic[b], he’s won somewhere near 8 bajillion Ciddies, yet never (to my knowledge) this one. Obviously this frustrates him, so he surely had some massive plan to get this Ciddie this time, no doubt involving walruses and Avril Lavigne. Still, with his nemesis Loony BoB out of the picture this round, Psychotic holds a very good chance of winning this Ciddie regardless of his scheming. Will he though? We’ll see.
Finally we have [b]Levian[b]. What a punk huh? I mean, come on, this crazy Norwegian has sneakily managed this entire award thing with few the wiser. That’s got to count for something. Whether or not it will let him win though is uncertain. Even not counting that, Levian still is a formidable opponent, being both a CK and a well-liked member, which is harder to do than it looks. Let’s see if it’s enough to pull though for him.
Well there you have it. Each of these members has a fairly excellent chance here. I briefly considered closing as I did last time, making a speculation that Award Guy could tamper the votes since his (current) alter ego is also up for this award, but it wasn’t funny the last time, so why bother again. I’m tired and going to take a nap, so take it away Award Guy Levian.
~BOOKOOOOOOOO~
