Yeah, well YOU were teh one who convinced me to nominate... but I'm not voting.
HAH! All my speeches are finished.
Perhaps I will take on some more?
We need speeches for 8 more categories so if you'd like to undertake more, you're more than welcome to.
As for the rest of you, come on, sign up to write one! Participate! Enjoy yourself!
I just posted my votes here by accident two seconds ago. xD Maybe someone was lucky enough to catch them. Hope I'm not too late to still vote.
Award Guy, if you're reading this, I sent my votes ASAP and I hope you will accept them. *is worried*
EDIT: I also got my speech in for Most Likely to become a Cid's Knight. You just know you want to read it.

Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Why not? It's a pretty special occasion if there's a tie! Besides, how is it fair for just you to choose Bob?Yes, let's drag it out for an additional week.In the event of a tie there should be another round of voting to decide who wins IMO.That is the worst thing I have ever heard.
Nobody "just chooses". I go to various people, ask them all to vote for the categories that are tied (without even revealing who the tied members are - in other words, all nominees are listed so to give those a little way behind chance of an upset, creating fairness) and then hope for an outcome. If there is still a tie, then I go to get more votes. I always make sure I get at least three people involved with each tie so even they don't know who will win until the winners are revealed.
It's not a pretty special occasion, though. Ties are pretty common. There are some Ciddies that even today were tied between four different nominees at some point. I think there are about 3-4 that are in such a position.
The reason I have tie-breaker positions reserved is because too many people in the past would not vote in the hope that they can instead be tie-breakers, which is kind of silly.
All tie-breakers will have been active members of the community for at least the majority of the past six months.
EDIT: I have 4,654 votes in from 108 members!That's the lowest amount since 2004... The lovely voters are as follows:

I had no idea this was that common, cool. All the more reason to ask the opinion of the general public IMO.Nobody "just chooses". I go to various people, ask them all to vote for the categories that are tied (without even revealing who the tied members are - in other words, all nominees are listed so to give those a little way behind chance of an upset, creating fairness) and then hope for an outcome. If there is still a tie, then I go to get more votes. I always make sure I get at least three people involved with each tie so even they don't know who will win until the winners are revealed.
Seems fair enoughBob, but of course who you chose is also subjective. It seems to me that the Ciddies are a relatively democratic process, so I think it would be reasonable to involve everyone. That way, who eventually wins is actually decided in a fair manner, not by a minimum of three people.
In fact, one could argue it's not even fair to take any kind of revote, in which case the original tally could merely be listed as a draw and have two Ciddies awarded.
Either a full revote, or stick with the draw. Three people is better than one, but it's hardly close to how many people vote in total.Who's with me?
Heh, I'm not on the "to be banned list"?! I guess this really is an improvement.
