Ho ho ho, so be sure to start nominating. Nominations will end on Friday, December 4th, at 4:00 PM EST! That gives you each a whole week to nominate! So don't be tardy with spreading that good Christmas cheer, and I look forward to seeing you all next week!
Just remember these few things:
Rule #1 - You can nominate yourself for no more than five awards.
Rule #2 - You can nominate any one member for no more than ten awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
Rule #3 - Do not post your nominations. PM them to me, Award Claus
Rule #4 - Do not spam up the Ciddies Thread with self-advertising.
Rule #5 - You cannot make more than three nominations per award. If you do, I'll take the first ones you've nominated.
Rule #6 - 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 to your nominations.
Rule #7 - Nominations for Ciddie #49 must NOT be past Ciddies winners.
Rule #8 - People who are NOT currently couples shouldn't be voted as Cutest Couple - this is for people who ARE already couples.
Rule #9 - People who are currently couples shouldn't be voted as Most Likely To Get Together. (Award #50)
And a few last helpful tips:
#1 - You don't have to make nominations for every award.
#2 - When nominating, please think not of overall, but purely of the last six months. In other words, if someone was on the nice list last year, and they are on the naughty list now, make sure you nominate accordingly. This is purely for the occurrences of the last six months!
#3 - All nominations are strictly confidential. 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.
#4 - To be nominated into the second round for an award, a member must obtain at least two nominations in that award. However, should eight members all receive three nominations or higher, then the cut-off will be raised to three nominations, and the same for eight members receiving four nominations each, and so on.
#5 - I hold the right to reject any nominations/votes for any reason, most often this is that the member have been inactive in the forums or chatroom in the past six months.
#6 - Award Claus, Election Booth and second accounts are only allowed to be voted for the MLT (Most Likely To...) Ciddies.
#7 - Banned members are only allowed to be voted for the Best Chatter and Most Missed Member Ciddies.
#8 - Staff members are not eligible for Best Veteran or Best Newbie.
Merry Nominations and to all a good night!
