    Wow, I was sure I'd get at least some nominations in this category.

    I think we need some clarification for how Best Member is to be nominated considering Jinx's comments. Just based on the OP, it looks like you're only supposed to vote for one (as in BoB's usual format). There should probably be a general set of instructions in the OP anyway about voting and how the finalist list was compiled (which would have headed off HC's complaint).

    Also... Cuch is banned. I thought banned members were disqualified? Not being bitchy, just confused! I promis!

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    When they're away/busy for any reason, they meet up with each other in FFXIV and click on each other so that their characters are staring into each other's eyes.

    I'm not kidding.

    i thought these were forum awards though, not ff14 awards???

    i just think it's funny that two people who never post got more nominations than some other couples

    Have accounts + have participated in EoFF's wider community = part of the community. Chatters have frequently been included without any involvement in the forums.

    Same reason I have no problem with Cuch's mention - there weren't many rules listed in these Ciddies... pretty sure a fair few people took advantage. xD This is Award Princess' call.

    I saw the thread I think he was banned in, but I'm not sure what is was, because whatever it was was edited pretty quick. It was a couple weeks ago.

    It's a temporary ban? I can remove him if it is going to cause *beef*.

    Also.

    I got SO many nominations which received only one nomination, my rules for cutting down nominations which were my choice was like this.

    Del Murder IIII
    Psychotic IIIII
    Loony BoB I
    Pike IIIIII
    Shlup IIIII
    Raisin IIII
    Aulayna II
    Freya II
    Shorty II
    Pantz II
    Dr Unne II
    Locky IIIIIIIIIIII

    In this round, Locky, Del, Shlup, Pike, Psychotic and Raisin(? ha) all got a tonne more noms than the others, and there was over 5 people in that category with significantly more. They make it. The twofers and onesers don't. This wasn't how all categories worked, as most had a LOT of onesers, and most of the twosers made it.

    I will post this here too, because it's relevant. Let's not make a show of ourselves in regards to the FFXIV nominators.

    Anyone who takes the time to Nominate will have their nominations counted. These are your awards? Then you need to nominate and make them your awards. (I know many of you did though , but this message is for anyone who didn't!) These guys want to get involved, and if they win, then hey - maybe they'll start posting a whole lot more. In fact, a lot of those FFXIV members, actually made up nominations for many of the regular members as well.

    That doesn't make sense to me at all. Why not just be equal for all the members across the board?

    Sarah, the way Tara did it is the exact same way pike mentioned she would run it, and it makes perfect sense to me as well...

    That's not how it works. There's a cutoff which largely depends on the number of nominations received.

    Example let's say we have an award with nominations as follows:

    MOST LIKELY TO BE USED IN PIKE'S EXAMPLE:
    Loony BoB 12
    Iceglow 9
    Del Murder 7
    Mister Adequate 4
    Hypoallergenic Whatever 3
    Sephex 2
    Jinx 2
    Psychotic 2
    Raistlin 1
    Shlup 1
    Jiro 1
    Elskidor 1


    ...then if I were the one running the Ciddies, only the nominations with three or more noms would be in the final running.

    So this is working as intended. You just nominated people that no one else did.

    Depending on who's running the Ciddies this isn't the only qualifying criteria; for example when BoB runs them only registered members active in the last six months can be nominated.

    Okay so what y'all are saying.. Is that each person who is listed in the noms got at least 3 people nomming them to begin with?

    That's my only question.

    I'm not 100% sure how Locky's running it but it was probably on an award-by-award basis.

    But yes, pretty much everyone nominated got more than one (probably more than two) nominations. It's how the Ciddies have always been!
