    Default Final Ciddies XIII: One Step Ahead of Square Enix

    'sup.

    I hear you were expecting me. 8-) Well, here I am! Back from my travels around the globe, my wooing of the women, my mentoring of the men. My trip to Norway mid-year was thoroughly enjoyable, I have to say, and my host was wonderful. But now it's time to get back into it! Back in Scotland, internet connected, awards confirmed, Ciddies polished off and ready to get down to tallying your lovely nominations! So, for those of you new to this sort of thing, think of these as the Oscars of EoFF. Winners are decided by... well, you! You nominate who you think should win this week and you vote on the finalists next week! Please be sure to read the rules, fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a lot of deleted spammy posts, because here we go!

    Nominations have closed.


    And now for the fine print.

    Rule #1 - You can nominate yourself for no more than two awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
    Rule #2 - You can nominate any one member for no more than five awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
    Rule #3 - Do not post your nominations - PM them.
    Rule #4 - PM nominations to Award Guy, not Loony BoB (or anyone else.)

    Rule #5 - PM your nominations by the closing date.
    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 - unless you remove them at some time during the Ciddies.
    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 Site Staff have automatic entry for all of the obvious included members. Recognized Members AND Former Staff will also not require nominations this time due to the low amount of active members in these groups in the last six months. All other members who registered between 1999 and 2005 are considered veterans, all other members who registered in 2006 are considered regulars and all other members who registered in 2007 and later are considered newbies.
    Rule #12 You can't nominate a male for any Ciddie with the word 'female' in it, and you can't nominate a female for any Ciddie with the word 'male' in it. If it doesn't have 'male' or 'female' in it, you can nominate a member of either gender.
    Rule #13 - People who are NOT currently couples shouldn't be voted as Cutest Couple - this is for people who ARE already couples.
    Rule #14 Nominations for Ciddie #45 must NOT be past Ciddies winners.
    Rule #15 - People who are currently couples shouldn't be voted as Most Likely To Get Together - this is for people who are NOT already couples. By 'Get Together', I mean 'Become A Couple'.

    *deep breath*

    Also - You don't have to make nominations for every award.
    Also - When nominating, please think not of overall, but purely of the last six months. In other words, if someone was really helpful one year ago, and they don't help much now, they shouldn't get that award. This is purely for the occurances of the last six months!
    Also - The Cutest Couple award does not count into the five nominations for another member of your choice, or your self-nominations.
    Also - All nominations are strictly confidential - the only other person with access to the Award Guy account is Loony BoB.
    In addition to that - You can not publically post your nominations or votes until after the final voting has occurred - a thread can 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 eight members recieving four nominations each, and so on. The only exception to this rule will be if only 1-3 members will be cut, meaning it's not worth the change.
    Also - I hold the right to reject any nominations/votes for any reason, most often this is that the member hasn't been active in the forums or chatroom in the past six months.
    Also - For a list of Recognized Members and Former Staff, click here.
    Also - For a list of past Ciddies winners, click here.
    Also - Award Guy, Election Booth and second accounts are only allowed to be voted for the MLT (Most Likely To...) and Profile (Custom Title, Avatar, Signature) Ciddies.
    Also - Banned members are only allowed to be voted for the Best Chatter and Most Missed Member Ciddies.
    Also - If a member belongs to more than one group (eg. Former Staff AND Site Staff) then they are eligible ONLY for the first of those groups to appear in the list. This covers Ciddies for Best Admin, Cid's Knight, Site Staff, Recognized Member/Former Staff, Veteran, Regular and Newbie.
    Also - Let's keep it fun GO! Nominate!



    Nominations will close exactly one week after I made this post, or sometime after then when I feel like it (I like to keep it open if I know I can break a records - see below for those 8-)). Or if I'm not there then, it'll be when I next arrive.

    Timon and Pumbaa? Man, I was surprised enough when the Lion King was raping all in the Greatest Movie tournament. Y'know, I'm beginning to think EoFF is becoming a haven for furries.

    I like bitter and egotistical though!

    Yeah, me too. We should form somesort of club for similarly disgruntled people.

    I'll nominate at some point over the weekend. At this stage I'd simply like to point out that I am open to bribery! Only joking, Award Guy!

    No, seriously, I'm open to bribes.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
