And the award for Best Member goes to... Dr Unne!
In June, The Ciddies got more nominations and votes than ever before - over 150 members recieved votes, and I'm guessing at least double that recieved nominations. Since then, people have come and people have returned, some people have changed alltogether...
And now, six months later, the Ciddies are back! Like the members of EoFF, some awards have been gone, some have been returned, and we've got a few all new awards for good variety. >=D Now, over the past six months, who do YOU think should win what?

And now for the fine print.
Rule #1 - You can nominate yourself for no more than two awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
Rule #2 - You can nominate any one member for no more than five awards, excluding Cutest Couple.
Rule #3 - Do not post your nominations - PM them.
Rule #4 - PM nominations to Award Guy, not Loony BoB.
Rule #5 - PM your nominations by the closing date.
Rule #6 - Do not spam up the Ciddies Thread with self-advertising.
Rule # 7 - You can not nominate more than one person per award. If you do, I'll take the first one you've nominated.
Rule #8 - You can't be nominated for avatar, custom rank and/or sig if you do not have an avatar, custom rank and/or sig - unless you remove them at some time during the Ciddies.
Rule #9 - You can change your avatar, custom rank and/or sig during nominations and finals. This shouldn't cause any major issues, as you can only earn what awards you recieve, be the votes late or early, that's your problem.
Rule #10 - Changes can be made once, and 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 #11 - You can only be nominated/voted for one of the 'rank-categorized-awards'. Best Admin, Cid's Knight and Recognized Member have automatic entry for all of the obvious included members. All other people with custom ranks are considered veterans, and all other members are either regulars or newbies. Regular Members are those who have joined over 3 months ago, and Newbies have to have joined less than 3 months ago. Exactly 3 months? Ehhh... Newbie. And this goes from exactly 3 months from the time nominations opened (today, 17th November 2002), not when you decide to nominate.
*deep breath*
Also - You don't have to make nominations for every award.
Also - When voting, 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 occurances of the last six months!
Also - The Cutest Couple award does not count into the five nominations for another member of your choice, or your self-nominations.
Also - All nominations are strictly confidential - the only person with access to the Award Guy account is BoB.
In addition to that - You can not post your nominations or votes until after the final voting has occurred - a thread will 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 recieve three nominations, then the cut-off will be raised to three nominations, and the same for eight members recieving four nominations each, and so on.
Also - Memnoch, Gareas and Asorie are all NOT Newbies. Asorie and Memnoch are veterans, and Gareas is an Administrator.
Also - People who are currently couples shouldn't be voted as Most Likely To Get Together - this is for people who are NOT already couples. By 'Get Together', I mean 'Become A Couple'.
Also - Let's keep it fun GO! Nominate!
Nominations will close 12pm Saturday (23rd of November) GMT. Or if I'm not there then, it'll be when I next arrive.
Big thanks to Nicky and Wyllius for helping me come up with the new awards. Y'ah kew.
