It is imperative that we have as many people survive as possible when this purge occurs. This is why MLT Win a Ciddie for the First Time award is so important. It not only highlights the awesomeness of some of our newer/underrated members, it is also guaranteed to save them from dying a horrible, horrible death.
This award can also be a stepping stone for EoFF greatness. Indeed, any member in receipt of more than ten ciddies will be treated like kings under the regime of our new AI overlords. They have their own luxury accommodation with food, water, alcohol and gaming consoles. Any person in receipt of less than ten ciddies will have to survive without these luxuries. It can be a tough life for the single-digit Ciddie winners as they scrape a living feeding off scraps but at least they're alive, dammit!
You may think that death is preferable to scraping an existence in a post-apocalyptic world run by super-intelligent, sentient robots. Just be aware, the disintegration process takes five years and you are alive for the first four-and-a-half in excruciating pain. The process could be completed more efficiently but our new masters feel this is a suitable punishment for the fact that we created the R.O.B. accessory for the NES. They are utterly ashamed to have R.O.B. as an ancestor.
Basically, what I'm saying is I wish all the candidate the very best of luck as the winner will be spared this prolonged torture. Those of you who don't win this time, you still have eight years to make an impression or else be slowly melted to death in 54 months of absolute agony.
