Ciddies '14 - Well we have to make up for all those posts we lost somehow, right?

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you're all stuffing your faces. Or if you're a foreign, I hope you're... breathing? I guess? How's that working out for you? Good?

So that was a fun week and a half, wasn't it? No Eyes on Final Fantasy. The end of internet civilization as we know it. A consideration of bees. Blimey. Yet fear not, ne'er-do-wells, for know this: EoFF is back, and back with a bang to rival even the big one, baby! ...well, it would rival it at a cake eating contest. Probably.

It's time for the Ciddies again! I'm going to try to mix things up and provide a break from the usual Ciddies norm. Many old and longstanding Ciddies have been removed for some newer, personality-based ones. Once you've seen five or six Best Cid's Knights or Best Avatars you've seen 'em all, right? Heck I would've removed more, but someone wouldn't let me! So maybe you'll love the changes, maybe you'll hate them! Let me know though, so future Ciddies hosts know whether to adopt them or avoid them - I'm not afraid of a backlash. Either way, this will be like no other Ciddies you've experienced before!

Rule #3 - Do not post your nominations - PM them.
Rule #4 - PM nominations to Award Bloke, not anyone else!
Rule #5 - PM your nominations by the closing date - this time around that'd be 4th December, 2014.
Rule #6 - Do not spam up the Ciddies Thread with self-advertising.
Rule #7 - You cannot make more than three nominations per award. If you do, I'll take the first ones you've nominated.
Rule #8 - Be excellent to each other. Party on dudes.
Rule #9 - Changes/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 #10 - Nominations for Ciddie #33 must NOT be past Ciddies winners.
Rule #11 - People who are NOT currently couples shouldn't be voted as Cutest Couple - this is for people who ARE already couples.

*some sort of intense inhalation?*

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 occurrences of the last six months!
Also - All nominations are strictly confidential - the only other person with access to the Award Bloke account is DJ Jazzy Jeff.
Also - You cannot publicly 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 receive three nominations, then the cut-off will be raised to three nominations, and the same for eight members receiving 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 past Ciddies winners, THE LIST
Also - Award Bloke, Election Booth and second accounts are only allowed to be voted for the MLT (Most Likely To...) Ciddies.
Also - Banned members are only allowed to be voted for the Best Chatter and Most Missed Member Ciddies.
Also - Staff members are not eligible for Best Veteran or Best Newbie.
Also - Let's keep it fun. GO! Nominate!

The most important rule of all: If something concerns you about the Ciddies, please don't raise a Feedback thread. I would be grateful if you could send me a PM about it and we can talk it out. It's not an EoFF staff issue, it's an Award Bloke issue. Thanks in advance.
