Ciddies

[Yamaneko]

Yeah, I agree. Large events like the Ciddies should be held once a year. Kinda like the Academy Awards.

[Citizen Bleys]

Except more prestigious, of course.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Dude.

They aren't actually due until freaking JUNE, people. There were June & November Ciddies, with November Ciddies being done so that the two weeks they last for goes into December, just in time to have the results released before the Anniversary.

Let's see how things are in June. I actually had a new plan, but we'll see if anyone wants them. The main reason I had them more often than once a year is because it's for not only the oldbies but the newbies. It gives people who are Newbies/Regulars more of a chance to win things - for example, if we had them one year from now, and This Guy was an incredible member, he'd be a veteran by then and it's a much tougher award to get anywhere in.

But hey, like I said - wait until June. And make it not just for the people who have been here since day one, but also the people who have joined in the past six months. People here think way too much of the oldbies rather than the newbies, and the newbies are the ones who are experiencing more magic here than any other member ever will, imho. I think a lot of people can agree that being a newbie in EoFF is a very special thing. Sure, it's still great now, but we should be able to celebrate the newbies.

...actually, why not have a 'Newbie of the Month' or something? That would be great. Ha.

EDIT: Oh, yeah. Mr. and Ms. EoFF = So freaking great, and so freaking different from the Ciddies. Don't even think about dropping them.

[Shlup]

Oh yeah... April isn't 6 months from November. I hate math so fsking much.

[Del Murder]

That's 'Newbie of the Month' material right there.

[eestlinc]

the problem with a newbie of the month is that we actually have to give it out once a month. to a newbie.

[Dr Unne]

Newbie of the Month sounds like a good idea, if people were really willing to keep up with it. We'll never run out of new newbies to give it to too. You could even give them a special colored newbie rank of some sort for the month they possess the award. Or not, it's easy for me to say how easy it is, since I'm not the one who'd have to run it.

[Strider]

Freakin' A. I'm three or four months too early, so I probably won't qualify for that award. . . *snaps fingers

But, if you want to set that up, Unne, I'd be willing to help however I can.

[Dr Unne]

No, I don't want to set anything up. Staff'd probably have to do it. If they'd even want to. Not up to me.

[Del Murder]

So it's settled. Unne will run Newbie of the Month. Who's up first, doc?

[Raistlin]

Ciddies = r0x0rz.

Mr/Ms EoFF is still cool, though.

I don't think anyone would keep track of all the newbies, so "Newbie of the Month" would probably be distributed somewhat arbitrarily to just the first person picked less than a month old. Meh

[Strider]

I'd organize it, just because I'm crazy like that.

EDIT: Though, I would need a little bit of help. . .

[eestlinc]

I always thought the reward for being a cool newbie was getting a custom rank early or something. Either that or spawning an entire thread to determine which veteran is posing as the newbie.
