Well whaddyaknow. I'm early! But I'll be damned if people haven't been buggin' me to go ahead with it - so yeah, last time we hooked up a few nice records - over 1,600 nominations from over 50 members, and we had more nominees than ever before! And this time I aim to break both of the existing records - so the nominations will not be over until I get at least 1,635 nominations from at least 62 members ;D With a fresh batch of new faces who have registered at the forums over the last six months - and a few who have left (including our now banned Best Newbie x_x;;) - we should have a nice fresh set of Ciddies to show what the first half of the year 2003 has brought up in the über-rawkin' world of Eyes on Final Fantasy! Just to make things a little more interesting, I've added a nice dozen or so all-new Ciddies (and Bleys' crotch), not to mention the return of a couple of Ciddies of old, such as Horniest Member and Most Missed Member. So hurry up, read the rules and get those nominations rolling!

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 and Cid's Knight have automatic entry for all of the obvious included members. Recognized Members AND Site Staff will require nominations - these will be in the same group. 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 EoFF (for the first time) 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 (the 27th of May 2003), 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 - 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 - People who are NOT currently couples shouldn't be voted as Cutest Couple - this is for people who ARE already couples.
Also - Let's keep it fun GO! Nominate!


Nominations will close 12pm Saturday (7th June 2003) GMT, provided I have at least 62 sets and 1,635 nominations. Or if I'm not there then, it'll be when I next arrive. Can you please note that I will be on holiday in Germany, returning on June 1st, but I'm giving a week after that to answer questinos (yes, questinos) and request re-submissions if anything is wrong.

Remember, I am 100% responsible for your satisfaction as a bootcamp participant.
